A. B. Dolbier, of Pennington, Me-,

Maine, where he has been On a pur-
chasing tour. He says fox were
80 plenty in this state as this year,
but otter and some other fine fur-bear-
ing animals are growing scarce. The
most interesting bit ofneWs he brings
is the statement that beaver. are ON
the rapid increase all over the northern
tier of counties.
In fact, so great has been the gain
OF these animals that they have be-
g me our of great danger to tim-i
Der lands: BY the building OF their
dams they arediooding large tracts

The law protecting these animals will
expire within a year. Franklin and

tested. The land and lumber owners
of the north part of the state are to go
before the legislature this winter and
ask that the law protecting beaver
shall not be renewed, but there will
be strong opposition.
