The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-09-14

Austin Cary, one of the most noted
foresters and timber experts in the
country, last week made an inspection
trip over the Battell forest in Middle
bury. He was greatly impressed with
the fine quality of the old-growth red
spruce on the college lands. There is
very little spruce of like quality re-
manning in the eastern United States
and in Mr.. Cary's opinion it may be in
q very few years be of almost meal
culable value for airplane stock and
musical instruments.

THERE MAY BE OIL HERE;
WE SHALL SEE, iF THERE Ie

The Business Mems association
has taken the initiative in the mat
ter of securing the services of an ex-
pert to look over the field to ascertain
the probability of finding oil IN the
Lenihi and Salmon river valleys.
This step is the result of confer
nee among w. II. Shoup. Emerson
Hill and O. Il. Kirkpatrick on the
train to Salmon the other day. when
they outlined the modest and safe
Ilans of raising sufficient money, If
oil prospects here warrant the out
lay. say $4,000, to bore into the earth
and find out what may be found at
the bottom of the mole. Amateur
geologfsts have always maintained
that the shale rock indications were
favorable for oil hereabout The
promoters of the boring experiment
are willing to put their own money
into the project in the hope of deter
mining once for all what those pros.
poets amount to. Ii would seem to
be worth while to do so, when pc
tToleum products are growing scare
er and higher all the time
The plan is to hire an expert ia
look into the prospects here. His re
port will determine the matter OF ac
tual boring. The Business Mems as
sociation will be asked to look after
the preliminaries.

IN IDAHO, OLD FORT RANCH

Stephen A. Mahaffey. Jr., who was
in town Wednesday from his ranch
home. the old Fort farm. reports
satisfactory progress with extensive
plowing that has been underway on
the place for the past two months.
By he first of June he will have had

at least $50 acres. one hundred OF
which is virgin soil. The work is
done by the aid of tractors, two OF
them having been in service.
IL was way back in 1S54-56 that
part of this land was reclaimed by
the first settlers of Idaho. the Mormon
colony of that early time. Their
ditch remains as one OF their endur
ing monuments along with the crumb
ling adobe walls OF their stockade.
Mr.. Mahaffey will seed % acres
of the new land to potatoes and the
balance of the present reclamation te
oats and barley There were vii
lows by the ten thousand to grus

manner without the use of one O
these machines. The farm is ons

PROF. OWEN SUES
FOR DIVORCE:
HAS TO RESIGN

The news OF the domestic infe-
iiciIies of Mrs. Daisy Andrewe Owen
and her husband, Prof Festus Ed.
ward owen. OF the University of
southern California. came on Monday
as shock 10 the Salmon friends and
relatives of the wife. who grew into
splendid womanhood In this commun-
Iliy, where she was married July
ls0i she IL the only daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs, N. |. Andrews. There
are two children.
II seems that the husband sued on
the ground OF neglect OF duty on the
part OF the wife. The first publica-
tion OF the court action was made In
the university paper called the Tro-
Jan. The university authorities i'm
mediately requested the resignation
or Prof. owen, not even allowing
MIN to meet his classes already as
signed for the day, so that his action
IN bringing the charges against his
Vile seem to have found no support
In that quarter.
The news caused the hasty depar
ttire OF the father OF Mrs. Owen last
saturday He had been spending
most OF the time for the past two
years In Salmon. The report OF the
court action buried him to Los
Angeles.
The Publication.
The Trojan rticie referred to is as
follows:
