BEAVER FARMING IN DAKOTA.
A Unique and Profitable Industry Carried
On in the Northwest.

The industry and sagacity of the
beaver have often been commented up
on. But those qualities have not pre-
vented this animal from being looked
upon as fair object of capture, says
the n. 7. Ledgcr. Its fur is valuable.
and, therefore, il is much sought after
by trappers Still, it may surprise
some people to know that in one part
who raise beavers for the market, just
as they might do corn or cattle. 1t is
in Mclean County, North Dakota, that
beaver farming is largely carried on.
The soil is very poor and is not adapted,
as are other parts of the state, to wheat
growing The Missouri River runs
along the western border of the county.
and numerous streams flow into it from
the hills 10 the north and east. Cotton
woods and elm trees grow on the banks
of these streams, and it is there where
the beaver farms are situated.
A man who intends to start this in
dustry purchases, say, ten acres of land
through which stream runs A dam
Is built at point where the stream is
narrow and the banks are steep All
that is needed is 70 fell few trees across
the bed of the stream and fill in with
dirt and stones. This holds the water
back SO that two or three acres of land
are flooded, thus forming a pond. The
next thing to be done is to erect a fence
of wire netting, from two to three feet
high, along the banks of the stream and
around the pond, inclosing all the trees
that can possibly be taken in.
Generally a colony of from twelve to
sixteen beavers is put on the farm.
They are, of course, obtained from
trappers They are placed in the pond
IN the spring and soon become ac-
customed to their surroundings In
few days they begin to build their huts
of mud and sticks and to show their
wood-chopping abilities on the trees
There is no return from the outlay the
first year, but by the fall of the second
year the colony has largely increased
in numbers and the farmer looks for
ward to having a regular income. Il is
on the last day of October or on the first
day of November that the harvest, so to
speak, begins First the ponds are
drawn off by means of tioodgates that
are covered with wire netting to pre-
vent the animals from slipping through.
The houses of the beavers are thus left
exposed, and the farmer goes from one
to the other, tapping on them with a
club. Beavers are readily frightened,
and the noise causes them TO run out.
They can only move slowly and are
soon caught and dispatched. The beav-
ers which formed the original colony
are spared, and then the foodgates are
closed and the pond is filled again.
The beaver skins are dried prepared
and taken TO market, the fur being used
in the manufacture of coats and capes
and trimming garments for women. A
good deal of beaver fur goes to China,
where it is made into shoes for women
VINO cou afford the luxury.

In Russia it was the common belief

with his edict he fined the wealthy and
middle classes 100 rubles for each beard

peasant and laborer a copeck for the

Hesperides. :.

When Nights cool fingers clasp with Day
Thro' misty waves in the West grown dim,
And the suns hot horses plunge in spray
Beyond great oceans utmost rim;
Far from mans track a dreamland lay
Those happy islands old bards had sung
They knew no Winter, no month but May,
That golden age when the gods were
young!
And somewhere. lost in the boundless blue.
There must be-far from the world and
wide
A land of lungings at last come true.
And sweet things living we thought had
died.
Dead voices call Us across the VEIL
Dead lips are smiling we once loved best;
Beyond the sunset, where no ships sail
And the unknown darkness that hides the
West.

Yesterday forenoon, while Circuit
Court was in session, and just after
Judge Campbell had decided an impor-
tant question in the case on trial, a
bland young man walked up to the
bench, extended his hand to His Honor,
remarking that the weather was eX-
ceedingly warm, and asked Judge
Campbell to perform a marriage cere-
mony for him. He said the bride to be
was In waiting and that the ceremony
could be performed forthwith. The
Judge blushed to the roots Of his hair,
and politely told the young man that
was not his business, and that he would
have to procure the necessary permit
from proper authority. A few minutes
later County Clerk Lewis issued IL
cense to wed to Mr. Charles Carr and
Miss Rachael Siberts, both of this coun-
ty.
A special term OF the City Council
will be held tomorrow evening for the
purpose of deciding in regard to the
further grading Of TomlinsOn avenue
north of Fifth street. A cut has now
been made down TO the established
grade, but the lot owners desire that it
be placed in that condition in which il
is to remain permanently in the future.
The only lot owner damaged by the cut
is H. w. Thompson, and he is very
reasonable in regard to the matter, and
is willing to do anything reasonable TO
advance the city's interest.

counsel for the B. & o. railroad came

on duty for a short time yet. The con-
ference decided it better to allow the
soldiers to remain until something more
definite transpired.
The case OF Elish Bennett, guardian
of Chas. Ross Bennett against the City
OF Moundsvlle, has been on trial for the

ERASIUS WIMAN ON TRIAL.
A Jury Eas Been Secured and the Law
yers state the Case

NeEa oNhto the NAs0
New YORK, June 12.-EraStus Wi
mans trial upon the charge of forgery
is fairly under way in the Court OF
Oyer aud rerminer, Judge Ingraham
presiding. Assistant District Attorney
Wellman presented the case for the
prosecution az the opening OF court.
After detailing the connection OF Mr..
Wiman with Il. q. Dun Il Co., first as
the manager of the Canadian branch
and then Of the local department in
this city, Mr.. Wellman went on TO re-
late that Mr.. Wiman on February
6, 1898, went 10 BOOkkeeper
Wheeler, of K. g. Dun & Co., and
asked him for check for S., 600, pay
able 10 +. w. Bulllnger; that Bullinger
never got the check, but that Wiman
deposited 10 in his own bank 10 his own
private account. THE question 10 the
minds Of the jurymen will be, did Mr..
Wimau know that the signature Of b.
w. Bulinger was forged when he ut
tered the check?" said Mr.. Wellman.
I'VE can show that be did, for the law
allows US 10 show that Mr.. Wimau had
uttered forged checks during the year
preriOus. A year before he uttered an
other check on BuIlinger. Then he
uttered checks drawn 10 the order Of
j. NJ. Fairbanks TO the amount OF Sl5,-
600 and SIG 900"
General Tracey interrupted at this
point, aud requested that the court or
dered the District Attorney TO contine
himself to the case in question. AND
as TO that, said the General, I'VE con-
cede that Mr.. Wiman wrote the name
OF BuIliuger on the back OF this check
aud deposited TO his own account.
Commercial law justified him in so do
ing"
Justice Ingraham allowed Gen. Ira
cey TO continue, cautioning the jury
that they must not consider what Mr..
Wellman said to be evidence, unless
these facts should be subsequently
brought forward as testimony.
