FLEETWOOD SPRINGS"
IS CORRECT NAME

County Clerk Cardnell this week
received the following letter of in.
quiry from the department of the in
terror:
Dear Sir:
understand that Glenwood Springs,
in Garfield county is also known as
Glenwood, the former being the post
| office name and the latter the name
given by the railroad company Will
you kindly let me know which of these
two names is more generally used in
speaking of the placer
If there are any other similar cases
! in your county, | shall be glad to have
this information concerning them also
Yours truly,
HENRY GANNETT,
Chairman Z. S. Board on Geographic
Names
We all know the name of the place
is Glenwood Springs, speaking proper
ly, and it is supposed tina: GIenwood
is used for short - That is why
the newspapers leave off the Springs
part of the name so frequently in
spanking of our town. and is probably
the reason that the shorter name is
used by the railroads in part of their
advertising.
The railroad official guile gives the
name of the station as GIenwood
Springs on the Midland and Just
Glenwood on the Rio Grande, while
the postotlice is Glenwood Springs and
the advertising bureau says Glenwood
Hot Springs.
Whether the Rio Graude had any
'method in its madness in leaving
off the latter half of the name in
designating the station has not been
ascertained. All over the country.
however. there are towns ending in
Springs" OF "C'ty" and it is the
custom when speaking of them to local
people to omit the unnecessary part.
One person or publication may use
the whole name and another adopt the
short method,
Anyway inst so the people get here
it doesn so much matter which of
the various names they use. Out
siders however, invariably use the
term Glenwood Springs. We might
add that the place is also familiarly
known as 'the loveliest place to spend
the summer. 'the most beautiful
spot in America, etc.

That Fishing Trip

Deep Creek met with an unfortu-
nate accident Sunday and as a result
the tinny inhabitants of that well
known stream have been almost an
initiated. It's a cryin' shame that
such heartless fishermen as Sherwood
Croker, Ora Barton, John Richardson
and "Uncle BIZ Thompson turned
their attention to this beautiful fish
ing stream, for it is well known
fact that each one of these gentlemen
has fishing record as long as your
arm, and never fails to leave devasta.
ton in his wake. Fish Commissioner
Kincaid has been notified and will
see to it that Deep Creek is again
stocked up with fish. This business
of four such widely known gladiators
going forth as was the case Sunday
is tough proposition to the rest of
the many fishermen. Johnny Richard
on, says, and Johns veracity is never
questioned unless he gets to telling a
baseball yarn, that Ora Barton pulled
fish out of the water so fast that
his reel got a hot box and set the pole
on fire and that Ora has blisters
on his hands as big as door knobs
However, Ora denies this and in his
usual quiet and unassuming manner
and to the best of his recollection he
caught just exactly ninety nine fish

The following from the Grand

on the last posters published by the

appears instead of Grand Valley. but
the mistake was caused by the printers
copying the late posters from some old

year. The railroad officials intended
it to be Grand Valley, not Parachute:

Hot Chase.

sunday afternoon Special Officer
Strother Mays got after n hobo for
trespassing upon y. X w. proper.
ty. The hobo saw the officer com
ing after him and struck up Gait
that would have done credit TO n
Maud ). The officer chased him
through the railroad yards, up hill
and down dale, but the "Shades of
Darkest Africa" being considerable
OF sprlnter, outdIstanced the ofli-
Ger. Others seeing the pursued and
purSuer, joined in. The report gained
circulation that Mr.. Negro had shot
MIR. Mays, and of course this caused
the larger portion of our male citi-
zens to turn out en- masse and at.
tempt to run the darky down.
Officer George Brown and other
Ceredo citizens seeing the large
crowd running, also joined in and
chased the coon up the stormy
banks of Jordan, down the alley by
the First Natl Bank to the crystal
and placid waters of the Ohio; thence
through Hoard Bros field and over
the property of Hon. Jos. S. Miller;
thence through the property of
Chas. Lambert to certain out
building where the negro was cor
rallied.
The report gained circulation in
Ceredo that the negro had killed
the officer while another stated he
had assaulted a little white girl.
StrotPer kept on the trail in order
TO keep the irate citizens from doing
the man bodily harm, while those
who saw the chase thought the son
of Ham had committed some damna-
bile or objectionable crime.

FROM KENOVA TO NORTON
New Railroad is Being Projected bu
Surveying Parties.

Huntington, w. Va. May 22.-
a report emauatiDg from the ex-
treme western part of Virginia,
where surveying parties are at work
is that the Pennsylvania, through
the Baltimore and Ohio and Louis
willie and Nashville, is to secure
southern outlet by building a link
of about two hundred miles from
Kenova, w. Va, to Norton, Va.
kenova is southern terminals of the
Ohio river division of the Baltimore
and Ohio. Norton is the easterly,
and, in that section, the northerly
terminus Of the Louisville and Nash
ville's Cumberland Valley divlson.
Through the Norfolk and Western,
Kenova and Norton are now con
nectei by line 2S3 miles long, but
appearances are that a short cut
along the south branch of the Big
Sandy river is to be taken by the
Pennsylvania. Such a link would
tap virgin coal and timber lands .
This territory would thus have a di-
rect line to Atlanta, Pensacola and
New Orleans, while through the
Norfolk and Western the Pennsyl-
vania railroad would also have a di-
rect line to these points from New
York and Philadelphia. Such
terminals on the gulf would enchance
the roads position for long haul
of material for the Panama canal
and would also be a traffic oatlet
from large tonnage centers when the
canal is ready for business.

Praises EIkins' Amendment.

Senator Rayner, Democrat, but
a strong advocate of railroad rate
legislation, used the following
language in speaking of Senator
Elkins' amendment to the rate bill:
1.-The bill has number of amend
ments III it that are beneficial. You
take the amendment of the Senator
from West Virginia. That is a good
amendment, although introduced by
a Senator who has been charged
with being 4 railroad Senator. We
have had just as much help from
Senators who have been charged
with being railroad Senators in clear
ing up the mysteries of this legis-
lation as we have had from those
who select themselves as the tribunes
OF the people. | will say that some
of the best legislation In the bill
has been put there by the Senator
from West Virginia, Mr.. Elkins. :"

talking he said he could put Mr.. Heizer

Before MIR. Heller had the chance to

this tune Mr. Heizer made it known in
very plain terms that Webb was deal
