REFERS TO BEAVER LAW.
]. 3. Eddy Explains Additional IL
eerse Feature 10 Anxious.

The section of the new beaver law
referring to additional licenses is
causing some little confusion in the
minds of the sportsmen and it was
explained this morning by j. b. Eddy.
general deputy state game and fish
warden.
This part Of the law means that
when a trapper has filed his license
he can take out another by paying an
additional fee. The license costs $40
and permits the killing OF IL beaver
When one trapper has killed his fif-
more by parnG an additional $40 70
the county clerk and he can keep this
up indefinitely.
Regarding the section of the law
prohibiting the taking of more than
four beaver from one colony. Mr.. Ed
dy explained that this did not allow
one trapper to take four out of dam
and then another trapper to take four
more.
THE law tries 10 preserve the bea-
Yer by not permitting the destruction
of an entire family and this feature
PROBABLY will have to be looked after
by the owners of the land on which
the trapping is being done. A trap
rer must have a permit from the own
or of the land and it is to be presumed
that the owner will not give permit
to every hunter who comes along"

tions issued by the superintendent
some time ago
\ general teachers meeting was
held in the assembly room of the high
school last evening after the close OF
school Instead OF the usual programs
followed at these meetings. the teach
ers We're entertained by the high
school musical organizations and by 4
short talk by the superintendent
The senior class pins arrived yester-

design and were greatly admired.
\ vote was taken this week among
the high school students To ascertain
how many of the pupils would be able
20 use the public library before school
ir the mornings and during the noon
hour i'm case it was kept open for their
benefit at these times. Most of the
students declared that 1t would be an
accommodation TO them If this ar
rangement were made. and II is possi-
BILE that this course will now be taken.
There Las been constant demand on
tho part of teachers and pupils alike
to have the library opened at other
hours ever since the high school ref
erence works were taken over to the
building and this is probably the
cause of the present action. The high
school classes in chemistry, English,
biology. physics and history are all
obliged to use library books and many
OF the classes such as the four classes
in history are required TO do so much
outside reading each week as part of
their work that the opening of the Ii
brary has become necessary.
