after this had been penetrated about

Saturday afternoon and registers
about twenty pounds. Drilling was
suspended until to day when the

til it penetrates them all or finds
gas in sufficient quantities to make

The we'll was started in last DC
tober but the progress has been slow.
The amount Of gas found is not
enough to make it a valuable strike
but since it was found in the first
pay the indications are very favor
able. 1t may be that a fine well
will result and then again nothing
may come of it. This cannot be de
termined until the drill goes through
everything,
1t il the first time that gas in any
quantity has ever been found on the
east side Of the river. A well was
drilled IN Morgantown near Decker's
Creek a number of years ago and
little gas found but not as much as
has been struck at Vanvoorhis.
A good gasser in that section OF
the county would be OF great value
to the town and would result in a
big boom The fuel supply will be
a matter Of concern before long IN
less the fields are extended in some
manner.
Uniontown people who have been
drilling in the Fayette comfy field
have encountered fine gasser near
Geneva. This is one Of the biggest
wells ever found in the county. The
supply will be taken to Uniontown
for the use of the plants Of that com
munity.

FayORS DIR. REYNOLDS.
Parkersburg State Journal Thinks
well of Him.


The time tor The meeting of the
new Board Of Regents for the state
university is approaching. ana what
that body will do In one important
particular, at least, is a matter for
public discussion SAYS the State
Journal. The necessity of eleeting
some man of line executive ability, as
well OF respectable attachments, as
President of the institution, is appar-
ent and this is matter TO be acted
soon.
1t is not necessary TO refer TO the
difficulties Of the past In connection
with the University. They should be
relegated to the rear, and only the
future looked to. The question now
is who is the most available man for
the Presidency.
After looking the situation over
carefully the State Journal Is Of the
opinion that the best thing to be done
in the present contingency, is to elect
the present acting official head, DR..
Reynolds to the permanent position Of
President. TIE do so will be no ex-
pertinent. TO choose anyone else, will
be TO say the least matter Of doubt
DR.. Reynolds has been tried at the
head Of the University. Going in
temporarily as he has twice, he has
brought order out of chaos. His abil
ity Is conceded; his integrity unques-
toned. BY actual trial, he is demon
strated TO be the right man for the
place. The very relief that his pre-
siding over the University brings from
the clamor and quarreling in connec-
tion with the school, proves his fit
ness. All diseordant elements are
evidently reconciled to his rule.
These things demonstrate the wisdom
of continuing DR.. Reynolds as presi-
dent OF the University.
