Announcement was made today of
the resignation of William L. Lea
witt as manager of the big Golden
Hills orchard at Iona, owned by
Werner Z. Reed, the Denver million
aire.
MIR. Leavitt has been manager of
the big ranch for four years, and dur
ing that time has done much to
bring it to its present high state of
perfection. He and his wife have
been in the forefront of all activity
az Iona during their residence there
and everyone in the lower valley will
greatly regret their decision No
plans have been made for their fu-
ture, but everyone hopes that they
will remain in the Grand valley.
1t is probable that David Cool will
succeed Mr.. Leavitt, although no an
nouncement has been made SO far
as to his successor.

NAME SUCCESSOR TO
GEORGE W. MARSHALL

The school board last evening ac-
cepted the resignation of George w
Marshall as physical director in the
Grand Junction schools and will
name his successor at a special meet
ing OF the board FRIDAY.
Members of the board are reported
to favor TIE selection OF Miss Victoria
Wilhelmy of this city, who has been
taking special course in physical
culture for the past 90 months. The
main obstacle in the way of her ap-
pointment is the fact that the rules
require the teacher in that particular
branch of study to have had at least
two years special training, while
Miss Wilhelmy's course has so far
been for only % months. There are
several other applicants for the no
sition which win probably be filled
at Fridays meeting.

rector of the school board last even
ing to succeed DR.. H. Freudenberger,
who resigned to go to Texas. The
appointment of Mr.. knight will give
general satisfaction, and will be es-

had representation on the board. a.

ably not know of the honor conferred
upon him, for some time. as he left
