State Civil Service Com. to
Hold Special Examinations
for Deputy Game Wardens
MAY AFFECT KEN0SHA COUNTY

Mer who have desire to tote a
gun and at the same time pose as
the protectors Of the game of the
state, are to have chance to get a
state office as County Clerk Russell III.
Jones has been notified that special
examinations will be held by the state
civil service commission during the
week beginning Oct. Il, for the selec-
tion of men for the game warden s
department.. The men may take the
examination in many parts of the
state, but it is not probable that any
examination will be held in this county
and Kenosha county aspirants will be
forced to 90 to Racine or Milwaukee.
The examination is to be along prac-
tical lines and the applicants for places
will be forced to show the commission
that they can ride horse, shoot a re-
volver, run across the country and al
so that they know lot in regard to
the fish and game protected under the
laws of Wisconsin
With the announcement of the ex-
animation it is given out that there
will be many vacancies in the game
warden Is department later in the year
and that lot of men will be needed
to fill these positions.
Michael Kleist is still holding down
the position Of deputy warden in Ke-
nosha county, but it is an open secret
that powerful influences at Madison
and within the borders of Kenosha
county are out to have Kleist remov-
ed and the tip has been given to sew
eral Kenosha men that they had bet
ter take the examination in October
and be ready to take job should a
vacancy be found in this county.
Kleist is not seemingly losing any sleep
over these hints and the fact that he
has been able to weather half a doz-
en- fights against him continuing in of
fee seems to have given him confidence
that he can defeat any effort that may
be made to remove him.

AN OLD ADDRESS FOUND
Long Sought for Add. ess of Pliry H.
White at the 5Oth Anniversary of
Runway Pond Found and
Here Printed.
Continued from last week.

Continued from last week.
The pathway of the flood for the
whole distance from Long Pond to
Lake Memphremagog appeared as if
swept with the bosom of destruction.
For many miles the entire forest was
torn up by the roots. and the trees
carried along by the current.
At every bend in the stream and on
all the land which was not deeply
flooded they were left piled up, some
times to the height of thirty or forty
feet and in the most inconceivable
confusion. These piles of trees were
formed as far north as Barton Land
ing, beyond which point as the valley
became wider the waters were
spread over more surface and moved
with less power. Nor was the sub
verting of the forest the only change
wrought on the face of ma ture. The
earth itself was channeled in some
places to the depth of twenty feet or
more, and the muck, sand, gravel, or
whatever it might be, was carried for
ward and deposited on the lower and
broader lands, burying them several
feet deep. With such force did the wa
ter move that il took out of Wilson's
mill yard, and carried along for half a
mile granite boulder eighteen feet
! long and seven feet high and supposed
to weigh a hundred tons. This was
deposited near the center of the
present site of Glover village,
and there it remained for many
years, till at length it was worked
into underpinning stone, of which
it furnished enough to underpin
the Universalist meeting house and
|
sides the material for two flights of
steps in front of the meeting house.
The millstones of Mr.. Wilson's mill
were deposited where they have not
been discovered to this day.
From seven to eight hours elapsed
after the pond broke out before it
reached Lake Mempbremagog, about
twenty five miles distant. The current
varied in depth according to the ma
ture of the country through which it
passed. When it left the pond it was
about forty feet deep, but the trees
and the earth which it carried fre.
quently dam ned up, and the 1ooo
then arose to the height Of sixty or
seventy feet, till the obstruction was
swept away, when the depth of the
current diminished. North of Barton
Landing, it did not average more
than.six feet in depth, as the marks
which it left on trees bear witness tt
this day.
! Near the outlet of Mud Pond, thu
action of the stream produced sin
, gular result. Here there was small
meadow, or muck bed, called MUSK
: rat Meadow" at the south end O.
which hill divided the water int
two streams. The main part of th'
meadow was washed away to
,, great depth, but little east Of th'
middle there was left piece sevent.
