UNIVERSITY CHANGES.
DR.. Johnson Resigns From the
Presidency.
TO TAKE EFFECT JULY L.
Two Members of the Faculty Ire.
moved. and the Re-em pioym ent
Of Three era 10 Made
Conditional.

The board Of university trustees con-
cluded its sessions this morning, after
%transacting considerable business Of
importance to the institution. Three
sessions were held, and the evening
session of yesterday extended far into
the night. Aside from the transaction
of the routine business several changes
in the faculty were made which are Of
public interest.
A resolution was passed which will
dispense with the services Of Prof. j..
d. Conley and Prof. l.. C.. Colburn after
he present year, and the board also re-
solved that the Unemployment OF Prof.
Irene Morse, Prof. Cora Mcdonald and
Prof. Henry Merz would be contingent
upon arrangements to be made here
after.
The following communication from
President Johnson to the board was
read this morning, although 1t was un-
derstood last evening that DR.. johnson
had resolved upon the course indicated
by its contents:
Laramie, Wyo.. April Is. 1896.
Hon. s. w. Downey, President Board
OF Trustees:
For personal aso l respectfully
decline reelection as president of the
University Of Wyoming, and ask that
/ be relieved from the duties OF my
office on July LIST, 1896.
Thanking your honorable board for
your cordial support and cooperation
given me during the last five years. and
appreciating their personal friendship.
| am respectfully.
A. A. JOHNSON.
In recognition Of the excellent SER
vices Of DR.. johnson In Wyoming's ed
vocational institution the board today
passed the following resolution:
Whereas, DR.. Johnson has notified
the board Of trustees of the University
Of Wyoming that he declines to be re-
elected to the presidency, and that he
desires to be relieved on the first of Jul
ly. it IL therefore resolved by the board.
That 1t Is due to President johnson
to say that his d%ecllnation ives based
Upon aso personal to himself, and
that his leave-taking is in accordance
with an expressed preference under
conditions which the board found q
impossible to adjust to his satisfac-
ton; ,
That the progress and advancement
of the university during the Ave years
Of his presidency have been marked,
and the period has been by far the most
prosperous in the history of the insti-
tuition. and In many respects the last
year is not excelled by any other;
That these results have been largely
brought about by the ability and yea
of DR.. Johnson:
That w appreciate the fidelity with
which he has discharged the dificult
duties which have fallen to him. and
we would especially commend his abil.
ity as an organizer. his superior power
and mastery of difficult and diverse de.
tails. and the earnestness and untirine
energy which characterize all his ef'
forts;
That his relations with the board
have been cordial and pleasant, and
we esteem him for his gentlemanl,
manner and Christian character.

Pounds Per Day.

Ed j.. Morris, who is in the city from
Green River, Wyo., says the Salt Lake
Tribune, tells IN interesting story of
how the enterprising people of that
lively railroad town bored for oil and
found what Is said by competent chem
lists to be Of the finest quality of soda
on the continent. Oil men believed that
in the flats below the town oil could be
struck by boring, and finally the belief
prevailed a number of business men to
the extent of inducing an investment
that might bring either oil or the salts

a depth of $50 feet was reached last
fall. when work was ceased for the win
ter. During the months of cold that
followed a creamy-white fluid issued
from the eight-inch pipe overlooking
onto the snow, so that until the warm
sun and soft winds Of spring had licked
up the snow. leaving behind huge cakee
of a white substance, the owners Of the
well did not imagine they had any
thing but a possible oil we'll at the bot
tom of the $50 feet Of iron pipe. The
fluid was sent to the Wyoming school
OF mines and subjected to analysis by
Prof. Slosson, who reported that 1t held
in solution 6.5s per cent Of sodium
chloride and s1.74 of sodium carbonate.
besides small percentages Of iron and
silica. Since then various experts have
examined the well, all p~ronouncing 1t
one of the biggest things in the eoun-
try.
The soda can be secured in two ways,
by precipitation and by evaporation.
The former method requires the use Of
electricity. and q successful test haA al
