In Manitoba the beaver Is protected

trapped. and the protection results In
increase. Colonies of the animals can
now be found both on the Ochre and
Turtle rivers, to the east of Dauphin.
One colony has started building a
dam on the Ochre river at the railway
bridge near the village. SO tame have
the animals become that 1t Is a COM
mon thing for the residents to visit
the locality In the evening and watch
the Industrious animals at work. In
one or two cases the work OF the
beaver In damming the Turtle river
has proved loss to farmers in the
vicinity by their land being flooded
and the water overfiowing 1t. The
matter was laid before the govern
ment in Winnipeg by parties interest
ed, and permission obtained to open
the dams, but not to molest the AMI
mails. AS the beaver increases rapid
ly, the government is likely to have
another problem on It's hands to
solve before great while.
