TO CHANGE NAME OF TOWN NO
ADVANTAGE.

Mr.. Editor:-Will the business in
terests of Charles Town get any re-
lief from its present condition by
changing its name to Charles City, as
proposed in the resolution passed by
our last legislature for the voters to
vote on at the coming municipal cleo
ton.
say No!
If the name of Charles Town be
changed to Charles City at the COM
ing election, it will bring about worse
conditions than at present, conditions
fought with untold difficulties for de-
cades to come. Grave disappoint-
ment to those who tried to
railroad it through the legislature by
Vaccinations and intrigue, backed by
the business interest of Charleston,
against a large majority of business
men and citizens of Charles Town
who signed petition opposing the
change.
But thanks to our representatives
in the Legislature, who opposed the
SCHEME to "thwart" the will of the
people, after seeing the opposition,
favored resolution to submit the
matter to the people for ratification
at the coming election.
1t is claimed by some of the bust
ness interests of Charles Town that
the similarity of the two names in the
same state is the cause of the trouble.
Notice the greater similarity in the
last two names:
Charles Town, w. Va.

Charles City, Va.

The last two names are spelled ex-
actly alike. The only difference is
the "W." If the "W" is left off
which you know frequently happens
through carelessness, where will your
mail or freight go, about SO or more
miles southwest of Richmond, to a
little place called Charles City, Va.
The Postmasters and Railroad
Agents, when they see this error now,
knowing Charles Town is in West
Virginia supply the "W", which you
often see written on your mail matter
and freight with pencil.
Will they do this if the name be
changed to Charles City? No, for
they wont know which of the two
places it is intended to go.
A travelling man from Winchester
told me his firm had car of sugar
shipped them, marked Winchester,
Va, which went to Winchester, KY.
Miss-had shipment from Balti-
more, marked Charles Town, jeff. Co.
w. Va. 1t was found in Cape
Charles, Va. The same lady had a
package sent from Washington, D. c.,
marked Chestertown, jeff. Co., w.
Va, and it came direct to Charles
Town. A basket of laundry shipped
from Winchester to Charles Town,
went to Harper's Ferry.
Oh, but you will say these are iso-
lated cases, Yes but, does not these
few illustrations proove it is not the
NAME that causes the trouble.
The trouble mainly lies, with the
careless, Indifferent, and inefficient
shipping clerks, railroad employee
and others.
Now, who will be benefited by the
change?
Charleston, "only."
For there would be no more
Charles Town on the map. Would
it be right for us, who are loyal to the
name of Charles Town to surrender
its priority, its historical associations,
and hallowed "reminiscences, for
Charleston's benefit alone, when
some forty years ago it changed the
name of its Post Office from Kanawha
City to Charleston, knowing there
was Charles Town in the state.
If Charleston wants change let
her begin at home, and let US alone,
way down here in this little neck.
A. rose will smell as sweet called by
any other name, but Charles Town
will put her foot in it, when she calls
herself Charles City.
Vote against any change in name,
on Thursday, May 26th.

INSIDE: STORY
OFCHANGE|N
MIN j TES
IS TOLD
Matter Was Entirely Legal
and Deputy District At
tOrney Dorsey Whitelaw
Tells How Supervisors
Came to Order Change.

The 'inside story of the chang
ing of the minutes of the board of
supervisors, brought to light by At
torncys Seymour and Young for the
plaintiffs in the case against the
county yesterday afternoon, was
told the Imperial Valley Press this
morning by Deputy District AttOr-
ncy Dorsey Whitelaw.
The incident referred to in testi-
mony yesterday dates back to August
2, 1920, when Deputy District Attor-
ney Whitelaw was called before the
board of supervisors and asked the
opinion of the district attorneys Of
fee in regard to the validity Of the
contract which was to have been given
to the Patterson, Dillon & Peterson
company, and which later was granted
to them. In looking over the minute,
Of the meetings previous, Mr.. White
law asked the board of supervisors if
they had been approved. Detailed in
the minutes were the regular routine
work of the board; also discussions
relative to the construction of the
highways and the contract.
M. Whiteaw was informed that
the minutes were not approved. for
at that time a routing of the highway
had been submitted by the highway
commission. This at the time was
tabled, to be referred to at a later
date. On learning that the minutes
were not approved Whitelaw informed
the board of supervisors that he could
not pass favorably on the validity Of
the contract.
District Attorney Simon, who had
been out Of the valley on business, re-
turned soon after and the two legM
advisors together decided to give the
board of supervisors the benefit of the
doubt and passed on the contract, de-
claring it to be ''watertight" and legal.
The CONTRACT was awarded to the
Patterson, Dillon & Peterson company
in good faith and the work begun.
AT the time the contract was
awarded said Mr.. Whitelaw, eff
there was to have been legal battle
over the validity of the contract. this
was the proper time this suit should
have been brought, not six months
ileI, WHell Jle COIlIdCtOIS nave III
good faith, spent practically 100000,
At that time it is probable the con-
tract could have been knocked out.
But as the matter now stands | do not
believe a court in the United States
would grant decision against the
contractor"
1t was also question in court house
circles this morning where discussion
over the suit was frequent, whether
the county could be made liable by
the Patterson, Dillon and Peterson
company in the event the county and
the contractors had lost the action.
When a contractor accepts a bid, he
does so on its face value, it was said
and the county cannot be made respon-
sible.
an regard to the writing in Of a
paragraph on January 3, 1921, the
old board, in closing up the business
OF the year, duly passed a resolution
instructing the county clerk to amend
the minutes of the meeting Of August
2, so that they may speak the truth,
in conformity with the law. The sta
tutes were complied with in every res
pect. by the move and the plaintiffs
dropped the point without argument
when the authority was pointed out to
them" continued Mr.. WhiteiaW.

Oil Follows Bailer Up for
First Time and DriIlers
and Friends Become En-
thusiastic; Said to be of
Asphaltic Base; w il d
Stories.

Indications at the Brawley well
are distinctly more encouraging
daily and the drillers and visitors
are enthusiastic over the outlook.
Yesterday for the first time oil
followed the bailer up and with
the large amount of water in the
well, splashed over the top as the
bailer was brought out. There has
been no continuous flow.
According to persons on the ground
the Oil appeared in small streaks in
the water and when a bottle was
filled and the water drained off, there
would be as much as an inch or so
of oil sediment in the bottom. Sam
Piles of the oil shown in this city last
night caused great excitement.
1t is said that the oil thus aided
by the slight suction of the baier
forced itself up through the $500
feet of casing.
This morning the last two pieces of
casing were not in the we'll and it
was expected that they would be in
place before the day was over. The
work of cementing the we'll will go
ahead and after it is cemented the
official test will be made.
AS soon as the casing is down and
the mud cleared from the hole ce-
menting will begin. The end of the
casing will be left in the firm shale
Gaping the oil sand, the cement
pumped into the hole and left to set
Then the cement will be drilled, and
either six inch casing installed or the
well be permitted to flow if suffici-
ent force is present. The oil sand
was encountered at little over
$500 feet
Operations are being resumed at
the Diamond Bar well, three miles
from the Brawley prospect. The crew
of drillers that passed through BraT-
ley early Monday morning went to
the Diamond Bar
Publication of stories which have
but small basis of fact has met with
the disapproval of the conservative
element in the community. The en-
tire valley is watching with bated
breath the progress at the Brawiey

sensational stories works more harm
than good Directors in the Brawley
we'll are advocating 'tell the truth,
that is good enough"
Telephone calls from Los Angeles
and San Diego today from persons
who heard of the alleged flow of oil
brought disappointment to the coast
