Some idea Of the work that beaver do,
to the injury of Maine forests, may be
gained from an exhibit In the show win
dow of the c. r. Ward Co.'S clothing
store. Oae section Of poplar tree, two
feet 10 diameter, is shown which the
beavers had gnawed nearly { Fl, and sew
eral other smaller pieces showing their
work. These were brought here by e.
P. Viles from Jim Pond township, own
ed by Vies & Goodwin, and with the
purpose OF showing the damage done BY
these animals. Beaver are now protect
ed by law during certain months Of the
year on the theory that they are valuable
fur bearing animals, hut 1t Is claimed
that, In securing material for their dams
and In the trees which they gnaw off and
bring down to get at the limbs for food,
they destroy far more timber that can
possibly be offset by the value OF their
skins. A bill is to be introduced In the
coming session of the legislature to re-
peal the close time on beaver and pos
sibly to offer a bounty for their extinc-
ton.
