BEAVER LICENSES NOW
'Trappers Must OBTAIN License in Order to
Capture That Animal

In order to legally catch beaver
trappers must first obtain license
from the county clerk and Clerk Wall
is now busy getting ready to issue the
necessary permissioDs.
The license costs $40 and entities the
holder TO capture 10 beaver. In addi-
ton it will be necessary for a trapper
TO got permission from the owner Of
the land upon which the trapping is
done.
Only four beaver may be taken IRON
any colony and it will take pretty close
watching by the game department to
prevent this section of the law from
being violated.
Beaver have increased greatly dur
ing the closed years so that the colonies
now consist of large numbers and In
some cases they have become an ALSO
lutte menace to TIE timber operators In
several sections OF the peninsula.
There seems TO be some question as
II just when beaver may be captured
owing to an ambiguity in the law.
Whether the open season for trapping
beaver in Michigan will begin January
Of next year or whether il is the in
tent Of the law as il may be inter.
preted. that the season for taking bea-
yer is not TO open until November Of
next year is question. Many OF the
authorities on the Michigan game laws
are puzzling over the situation and ii
Is probable that the authorities at Ian
sing will be asked for decision in tine
matter
The law as amended at the last SEES
sion of the state legislature. taxing off
the closed season on beaver, reads that
the protection will be raised from bea
yer Jan. 1. 1913. but provides that the
open season shall be from November To
May.
Some authorities hold that under the
law 10 will not be- lawful 10 take beaver
before November of next year while
others hold that the season will open
when protection is taken off the ami
mails on January |, and the season will
continue until May.

Mr. Waffen has changed his mind
about the publication OF this state

with him last Thursday he stated that
he had. upon second thought. decided
to submit the matter TO Judge Flanui-
gan and not publish any statements
purportine TO be the facts in this case
that might disqualify jurors when the
case comes TO trial in the circuit court.
Mr. Waffen stated that he intends 10

TO defend Waifen. Because OF Mr..
Waifens physical condition. he was
unable to be in court, hence the sd

Mr. Doyle. we understand, will take
entire charge OF the prosecution of this
case. Mr.. McDonough took this
course az his name has been drawn into
the case because of the fact that he
is prosecuting attorney and was beaten
by Waffen in the primaries and in the
recount that followed there was consd
cradle OF feeling worked up. so.
when this matter came up, although
Mr. McDonough was wholly dscon.

the charge OF prejudice or persecution
by farming the case over to an outside
attorney We understand that this
course was taken upon the advice OF
Judge Flanagan.

A Busy Young Woman.

Oregon Statesman The centen-
airy of the great Krupp gun works at
Essen, Germany, was celebrated re-
Gently, and it was an interesting af-
fair in the history of that wonderful
manufacturing plant-truly interest
ing from the fact that the head of
the institution is a young woman
whose age is % years.
This woman is Mrs. Gustav Won
Hohlen und Halbach, formerly Ber-
tha Krupp, and the controls this i'm
mense property, her annual income
being about $5,0OO,O00. She is con-
sidered to be the richest woman in
Europe, and her influence is wide,
as the Kingdom" she rules is inhab-
tied by $1,000 persons who are en-
ployes of the monster ordnance man
ufacturing concern which began as a
tiny steel foundry established by her
great-grandfather Frederick Krupp,
in 1910. In 1892 there were nine
men in the employ of the Krupp fam
lily.
This concern supplies the artillery
of the German empire and other ma
tions of the world as well, and its re-
serve is said to be about 100000
600.
The city of Essen is more social
istic in its government than Germany
itself, its population being 100000.
1t owes its present existence entirely
to the Krupp gun works; but there
is hardly city in the world which
is governed more in the communist
spirit than this. 1t is one of the very
earliest places in which cooperative
stores were established. They have
been in existence there for over fifty
years. Bertha Krupp may be the
queen" of Essen, but her workmen
conduct their own affairs without
molestation. She limits her Inter
ference" to gifts of money by which
institutions of mutual good to the
workmen may be established.
