Commission Likely to Comply With
Governor Willis Request For His
Resignation--Hoskin and Brown
Opposed to 6ryson's Proposal to
Investigate the Governor.
Columbus, April 14-As a result of
the action of the trustees of Ohio
State university in relieving Homer
G. Price as dean Of the college Of ag-
riculture, which automatically will re-
move him as member of the state
agricultural commission, and propos.
ing to retain ilim as professor Of rural
economics, an open breach has oc-
CURED between the dean and the trus.
tees. Price emphatically said that he
will not accept professorship.
The trustees assert that the ques.
tion of the deanship never has had
and has not now any connection with
politics. Neither present state admin.
istration nor the former one in any
way affected or influenced the action
Of the university trustees, according
TO Carl +. Steeb, secretary of the
board. Mr. Steeb said Governor VIII
lis knew nothing Of the plan Of the
trustees to select a new dean. "The
truth is that the trustees have at all
times been independent of political in.
fluence," he declared.
President Thompson made SINH
lar statement. He said that two years
ago the trustees notified Price that
his reelection as dean was not prob.
able. "Two years ago there was some
criticism of Mr.. Price as dean, but
not as a professor" said DR.. Thomp.
son.
President A. P. Sandles of the state
agricultural commission will comply
with Governor Willis request for his
resignation as soon as the state au
ditor can audit the accounts of his
department and check him out. Such

his return from Washington. He has
requested the auditor to make tht
audit.

Pitkin Miner:-Capt. c. Stiles and
son Harry came down from the Black
Diamond mine Saturday to engage a
team to haul their ore to Quartz railroad
station. They inform us that they have
just completed assessment work on a
new location between 1000 and 5000
feet from the Black Diamond mine,
closer to Siegel mountain which they
named the Mountain View. At the bot
tom of the shaft, a distance of about II
feet, 3-foot vein of gold quartz is ex-
posed. The vein runs in an entire diff
ferent direction from the Black Dia-
mond and it is their candid opinion that
it will be the making of richer gold
producer than the Black Diamond, which
is saying a great deal. Well, here Is
hoping.

WINTER WHEAT RAISED
At HIGH ALTITUDE

Montrose Enterprise
MIR Richards has just threshed out
30l bushels of fine wheat from fifteen
acres of land, on a mesa as dry and
barren and unlikely to the casual OBJ
server of producing a crop of anything.
And in this the dryest season that this
locality has seen for number of years.
The seed was planted in August of
last year in soil which had been pre-
pared after the manner of the moth-
DDS of dry farming. As result Of this
way of handling the soil conserved the
moisture resulting from the SHOWS of
the winter and in so doing kept the
growing grain sufficiently supplied with
moisture to bring it to msturi y in spite
of the fact that the minimum amount
of rain fell during the season.
And this is not all Mr.. Richards,
in looking back over his experience of
the past year is able to see places where
he could have improved the situation by
little different handling of the crop.
Consequently with the experience of
the past year to draw from he thinks
that he can raise a bigger crop next
year on the same field.
