FAvORITE DOG
NAME IS BUSTER
/ IN ELM CITY

Towser. FidO and Rover are the
three names recognized by almost
anyone as the universal names in
dogdo:n but strange to say only one
Waterville dog answers to the name
Of Towser, two to the name of F'ido
and five t the name of Rover. This
means that anyone trying to call a
stran. g dog by name in Waterville
would have about one chance in 250
of getting the right name attached to
the right dog. Buster is the favorite
dog name in this city. Twelve re-
spectacle licensed CANNES will prick
up their ears at the sound of the
word Buster. Buster leads them all
by far with Ted second with six
! dogs answering to that name. Next
come the names of Rover, Peggy.
TEiXie, Laddie and Brownie tied for
third plce with five each. Four ans
wer to the call of Jack while three
come to their meals by the sound Of
Fannie and Beauty, respectively.
| Six pairs of dogs will answer to the
| respective names of Don, Jip. Tony,
Rex, Fido. Dick, Tip and Snowfall.
Perhaps one wonders what Water
vile people arc naming their dogs.
| There are at least IS dogs in town
named like some other dog or dogs.
| There are nearly 200 dogs with names
| that are different from any other dog
in town. Waterville people are evil
IDENTIFY not given to imitation as no
nationally famous Airdale, "Laddio
Bow" In fact Waterville people are
decidedly original with their choice
Of doggish appellations. There are
not many dogs in the world who
would come forward to the name of
Wooglin, Man man, Klux, Criquita,
Toga, Chang, Whisker. Hedda, Deton.
Tacks, Cinders. Poppon, Mingen.
Kinks. Nuttie or O'Boy. Many such
| names arc new to the vocabulary of
most people. Then there are a lot
of dogs with names that are original
! but not quite so uncommon, such as
Nita, Gard, Terry, Caesar, Spy, Tam
O'Shanter. Deke. Cupid, Sappho,
Pepper, Spud, Nibs, Mig and Pops.
Although dogs are supposed by many
| to be the nearest of any animal to the
human being in intelligence. the
ones that would suit the average in
dividual. A few. however, have
names that would be equally as good
| for man or beast such as, Robert
Bruce, John W., Kent, Prince, Peter,
| Jerry, Pansy or Patricia.
| Many of these names without
doubt are only used in registering
| the dogs each year with the city clerk
| and in the family the dog whose
| name is Patricia in polite society is
| Pat while Robert Bruce may answer
| to the name of Bob.
Some of the names seem singularly
appropriate for the beasts that they
represent. Hedda is the name of a
giant Russian dane. Klux represents
a big watchdog of mixed breed.
| Chang is big black chow dog
that almost everyone on Main street
knows by sight. Wooglin is the
name attached to big airdale owned
by Sam Preble the photographer.
! There are 80 different kinds of full
blooded dogs owned in Waterville.
There are licensed mongrel dogs.
! The collie is the favorite with dog

The Kennebec river was still rising
here last night. At o'clock the
highest rcadin.: yet was reported as
12S inches and an official at the
Bangs Power Station at the Ticonic
dam declared that the river was still
going up. All of the industries in the
have been forced to suspend opera
tons until the water goes down. The
Lockwood Company mills and the
Hollingsworth and Whitney mills are
unable t. operate on account of the
height of the water and the other
manufacturing plants of the city are
crippled because of the lack of cleo
trio power. The Central Maine
Power plant at the Ticonic dam and
the Sebasticook dam are unable to
generate any electricity but the cleo
trio plants on the MeSsalonskee River
were still running last evening. The
local gas plant has shut down caus-
ing difficulty in several business es-
Establishments. When the water rose
rapidly late Sunday night many in

in boats and canoes. Several thou

ti.il3 of lumber and clapboards stored
on beth sides of the river have been
washed downstream. The office build
ing of the Texas Oil company on Fort
Point was submerged to the second
story. All roads leading out of Wa
terville on the Winslow side of the
river were under several feet of wa
ter in places. A few venturesome
autOiSts went down the railroad
track and over on the Augusta road.
No trains were run over the road
yesterday on the east side Of the Ken
nebec on account of WaShoutS be-
tween this city and Augusta. Show
hogan was cut off from the outside
world until late last night when a
train came through to this city. The
water of the Sebasticook river was
running within a foot of the level of
the railroad bridge while the road
bridge showed a margin Of only two
feet. The backwater reported at the
Fort Halifax station was 90 feet and
the level of the water below the crest
of the Sebasticook dam was less than
two feet below the level of the water
above the dam. AT o'clock Sunday
night the height of the water re-
ported, here at the Ticonic dam was
113. inches. Twelve hours later the
gauge read 122 inches and at II noon
yesterday the water had risen to 1877
at which point 1t stayed until nine
when 1t went to 1913. At 2.30 yester-
day afternoon the report was tele-
phonei into this city from the town
of Moxie that the Lake N1oxie dam
went out at 2.25. The report was
considered authentic as it came from
a telegraph operator in the town of
AIoxie which is situated a very short
distance from the dam. At 4.30 the
report came from the Madison telc-
graph operator that the rush of Wa
ter from NIoxie had reached that
town raising the river two feet. At
nine last night there was no MOTTO

MANSF F|ELD IS
STILL MISSING
No Word from Dry Docks
WatChman Who DiSap-
peared Last Saturday

Greater mystery was added to the
case of James Mansfield, of Oak
street, the missing Perth Amboy
Dry Dock watchman, who has not
been seen or heard form since Sat
urday night, when word was re-
ceived this morning from the Tug
Wyoming that the local man is not
aboard.
Mansfield went to work as usual
at o'clock Saturday night, and it
is believed, he was last seen by Phil
McDonough, watchman in the
new section of the Dry Dock plant.
The missing watchman's eye glasses
| were found on the dock where the
Wyoming pulled out, and his clock
showed that his last ring was made
at . o'clock
|. The Wyoming was scheduled to
pull out early last Saturday morn
ing, but on account of the heavy
fog, 1t was decided to start the trip
to Boston, Mass, on the following
morning. To finally decide whether
Mansfield was on the tug, the local
police communicated with the cap
tain through John Sofield, local
representative of the tug company.
A telegram from the captain of the
Wyoming, to the local representa-
tive, was received from Boston this
morning, and in this message, it
was made known that Mansfield is
not known to the captain and that
no stranger is on board.
Although somewhat disappointed
to learn that Mansfield is not
aboard the Wyoming the police still
hold high hopes that the watchman
has not drowned. 1nasmuch as he
was a railroad detective for the Le-
high Valley and Staten Island Rapid
Transit companies for a good many
years. he may be visiting some of the
towns where he was known during
his railroad service. There is a pos
sibility that the watchman Suddenly
became dissatisfied with his work,
and decided on n short trip.
His wife and family are worrying
as to his whereabouts. The watch
man is between forty-fve and fifty
years of age, and is well built.
