THAT NEW WELL
Subject of Discussion Among the Fra.
ternity.

The Richardson & Paden well on
the Bumgarner farm in Writ county
is the subject of discussion among
the oil fraternity. 1t is producing
from the gas sand, which was en-
countered at 1920 feet, and it is a
rare thing that a big producer is
found in that formation.
Judge Richardson, who is at the
well, telephoned here this morning
that the well was drilled only three
feet into the sand and that it was
put to pumping at 4 O'Clock Friday
afternoon. Up to midnight it had
put 10 barrels into the tank but the
pump broke down at that time and
word was sent here for parts with
which TO make repairs.
The well is estimated to be good
for 200 as it stands, but this may be
largely increased when it is drilled
deeper and given a shot.
Richardson & Co. sold the gas
right to f. NJ. Grant & Co reserving
the oil rights on the lease. By the
terms of the contract, if the owners
of the gas rights drill a well and it
develops into an oil well Richardson
d Co get it at what itscost 10 drill
it, and if Richardson & Co drill a
well, and it Develop into gasser
the other parties get it at the same
terms.=Parkersbur2 Sentinel.

SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.
To the Town Council and Board OF Ed
cation Of the Morgant0wn Indepen
dent School District.

To the Editor to the New DOMINION.
As causal observer, one thing has
occurred to me, that surely is OF i'm
portance to each and every citizen
of the town and school district, and
that is the manner in which the
ground around the public school
building is being graded.
My idea is, that in order to make
perfectly harmonious grading of
ground, the fence along the alley
should be removed, the alley graded
with the street, so that the water
can find its way into the creek. and
the beautiful( ?)terrace removed, leav
ing sufficient embankment around
the trees to support them, and using
the residue of the earth for filling on
the lower side of the lot thereby saw
ing the expense Of hauling the nee
essary earth for such filling from
some other place.
1t was once decided to grade that
alley, so that when the lot was level
ed, it could be done in conformity
with the grade of the alley, but some
of the members of the council
thought there would be time enough
to do that, and that the money
should be used elsewhere.
Now the lot is being levcled and
the fence and terrace left there
This displays the intelligence Of d
fine aesthetic taste, or else it is done
to humor the within of someone who
has an imaginary conception Of the
advantages to be gained by so dong
All that in required is for tht
board and council to meet and view
the ground, and there will be NJ
doubt as to the result.

SOME DoUBTERs.
Something Ia the Bloody Articles
Fannd OH Monday.

Some people in town believe that
there is something more in the
bloody articles found below town on
Monday than the rest of the com
munity supposes. These believers
have several things to bolster up
their side of the case.
They say that there has been a
camp If hob es below town on the
river bank for two weeks and that on
Monday morning they were all gone.
On Sunday they were there. This
is to them suspicious circumstance.
Acting on these suspicious couple
of men dragged the river on Monday
afternoon but they found nothing.
1t has been suggested that it will
take but a few minutes to have the
blood examined and that will soon
settle the fact as to it's origin. If
it is chicken blood one glance
through microscope will reveal it
and the fake car then be seen with
out any doubt being left.

BAKER BACK.
Attorney Geo c. Baker has Re-
turned From the West.

He Sees Nothing any Where as Good as
1t is In This Section organtown
Leads the Procession Tremendous
Depression in the west-Feur Hun
dred Houses Moved ont of One Torn
-Morgantown Can Benefit BY Their
Experience.
Attorney George c. Baker is back
from California where he went about
a month ago to look after some
property belonging to the estate of
the late Dr. George B. Morris in
San Diego. The trip wes most
delightful one and Of course Mr..
Baker got all the interest and enjoy
ment out of 1t that there was to be
had in connection with it.
He is more thoroughly satisfied
than ever that Morgantown and this
section of the country is the place
to live. There is nothing that he
has seen to touch it. All the rest of
the country is suffering under an in
dustrial depression hard to under
stand in the east.
From Cincinnati westward as far
the coast everything is dead. Real
estate has reached the lowest ebb.
In many places houses are sold for
ten cents on the dollar OF what they
cost. In one town suburb OF San
Diego four hundred houses were
moved out of the town in one year
and placed on farms out in the coun
try.
There was no demand for them in
town and they could not he sold or
rented to anyone at any price. The
boom has collapsed. One reason for
the great depression in the far west
Is the lack Of rain fall They have
had about one fifth the normal rain
fall for three years and everything
is drying rp. The farmers are par
alyzed and in consequence every
thing else suffers.
Morgantown has only the most
favorable outlook but his advice is
not to over do the thing and cause
the inevitable reaction. There is
such thing as too much even of
good thing and we had better go a
little slow for while until the de-
mand catches up with the supply.

BEING DELIVERED.
First of the Street Paving Material Be-

The first brick delivered by the
Morgantown Brick Company for paw
ing the streets here is being piled on
the sides OF Peasants street. The
brick are red in color and the rest OF
the town will be paved in this and
chocolate,
The brick are made of shale and
they are of a very excellent quality
besides being cheaper than those laid
last summer. About two dollars a
thousand is being saved on the blick
which is to be used here after besides
the advantage gained through patron
izing home industry.
Everyone who has examined the
trick is of the opinion that it is of a
very fine quality. Many people have
been looking at them in order to see
what can be made here in Morgan
town in the way OF paving material.

THEY ARE CLEAN.
Now Let all Hands Pull Together to
Keen Them in That Condition

The paved streets have been cleaned
off thoroughly. All the dirt and pa
per have been removed. The mud
would have been taken off long ago
but while the other streets were not
paved it would be useless to try to
keep those that were paved free from
dirt.
Now that they are clean it would
be a very good idea if the people
would help to keep them that way.
They should quit throwing trash and
paper on the streets. Besides being
unsightly, unhealthy and nuisance
generally it is contrary to law and the
offenders should be given good taste
of the quality Of the law. Lets keep
them clean.
