OUT IN BARNES

publican county central committee
met Monday afternoon at the court
house for the purpose of choosing off,
GERS and the selection of members OF
the state central committee for the

There might have been harmony in
chunks at the recent republican meet
ing at Fargo, but there was none
stopped over in this direction at the
meeting Monday. Barnes county in
dulged as usual in it's traditional
scrap, and as the warning factions
were closely divided there was some
thing doing, with a flow of oratory
which was tinctured with occasional
and semi-occasional bits Of biting sar-
casm as the ebb and flow of words
passed between the opposing orators
Combs for the stalwarts and Englert
for the insurgents. There were four
contesting delegations from precincts
16, 80, "a and 81, and for more than
two hours the fight ragged on the seat
ing Of these delegates, finally resulting
in the seating of John Maresh and
"C4AA S1eSAhS IAA ANS' LoB IL. ~ AdIN6T
was seated in No. 80. ""'
Then came the contest for chair
man, Fred Olson of Sanborn was
nominated for the stalwarts and Hiram
Walker for the insurgents. The vote
stood: Olson, "a; Walker, 81. L. C.
Carver of Lucca was chosen secretary
and Lew Bordwell Of Litchville treas
urer. E. G.. Wanner of this city was
reelected a member of the state CEN
trail committee for the Fifteenth dis
trict and Theodore Torbenson for the
Thirty-eighth district. ,-..

NEW YORK VILLAGE OFF MAP
Building of Immense Reservoir Will
Wipe Out Historic Town of
Delta, Oneida County.

Albany, n. Y.-The Delta reservoir
which is being constructed about the
village Of Delta, Oneida county, and
which will wipe out the village, WILL
when flooded, furnish much of the
water which the barge canal in cen
trail New York will need in it's opera
ton. The hills surrounding the basin
are arranged on the general scheme of
a triangle with one vortex pointing
upstream and north. The area of this
triangle is about 5000 acres, and it's
altitude four miles and It's base two
miles.
The upper sides Of the triangle rep
resent high hills rising from 600 to 800
feet above the valley. This valley was
settled about 1889. The Floyd and
Sicard mansions, just above the flow
line, in Westernville, and the Henry
Wager homestead, the most beautiful
in the valley, soon to pass into OBJ
livion by the building Of the reservoir,
preserve the memory of old General
Floyd, a signer of the immortal Decla-
ration; Admiral Sicard of Fort Fisher
duu V4Ch0UulS clhO U1dJ. GSA
Henry Wager Halleck, who ran away
from Westernville, his birthplace, be-
cause of his aversion to the farm and
the plow.
AS is generally the case in such
large undertakings, there have been
some questionings as to which geo.
graphical name should attach itself to
this new lake which will be added to
those of New York.
1t seems likely that the word delta
has become inseparably associated
with the new lake and as it's waters
bring out even more distinctly the
triangular arrangement Of the hills
surrounding it, the term with it's indi-
viduality seems not inappropriate. It
has the further advantage of COM
memorating the village it displaces,
and perhaps in slightly more happy
manner than the word mohawk, which
means "eater of live fesh," the term

49, CLN1ER ALMOST TALKS
Bird of African Descent Even Speaks
One Word Plainly When Called
by Its Master.

Norton, Mass.-Frank E. Brown, a
railroad man of this place, has an AT
ricar. gander that possesses unusual
bird intelligence.
This gander, Joe by name, stands
about four feet tall, weighs about Ii
pounds and is three years old.
To begin with, there came near be-
ing no Joe at ALL The egg had to be
warmed in the oven and Mrs. Brown
had to pick the shell off before Joe
first saw the light of day. By tender
est care Joe lived.
Mr.. Brown began training Joe early
He built a small four-wheeled car
riage, which Joe draws about. There
is a harness, and Joe turns either way
to the guiding Of the rein. Every
night the gander awaits the home
coming of it's master, and when he
sees him runs to meet him with al
the joy of pet dog.
AS in the pose for picture, Mr.
Brown simply kneels on one knee and
Joe hops on to the other. Another
trick Joe performs after seating him
self on Mr.. Browns knee. The bird
winds his long neck around Mr.
Browns neck, looks his master in the
face, and, in his way, talks.
If Mr. Brown lies on the couch and
calls Joe, the latter trots into the
house, stations himself comfortably
near, and anybody who approaches
Mr.. Brown, even to the family mem
bers, is savagely driven off. Joe is as
valuable as a watchdog.
When Mr. Brown is at home Joe fol
lows nearly everywhere. If Mr. Brown
does a little carpentering, Joe de
lights in bothering by trickily taking
out hammers and other tools and
placing them out of reach. Whenever
Mr.. Brown calls Joe by name Joe an
swers. His reply always sounds like
What"
An amusing incident occurred re
Gently in the middle of the night Mr.
Brown hearing a noise and thinking
Joe was out of his yard, shouted from
his room: "Joe!" The reply came
plainly and promptly, What" Joe
