LAW PROVIDING FOR THEIR PRO.
TEcTIoN UNINTENTIoNALLY
REPEALED

Are the beaver of the state to be
exterminated?
1t is reasonably safe to say that
they will be and within two years
time If law providing for their pro-
lection is not enacted by the legisla-
ture now in session.
Strange as It may seem there is no
law on our statute books today pro-
yiding for their protection in any man
ner whatsoever. While II has been
generally supposed that there is a
closed season which extends until
January 1, 1920. the fact is that there
has been no protection on them since
1911. This Is from no less an au-
thority than the attorney-general of
Nevada. The only protection that
beaver now have in Nevada is such as
is provided by federal laws, and with
no one to enforce the federal laws,
this amounts to practically nothing.
The fact that there is no law for
the protection of beaver was made
known in this manner Last summer
the county game warden received

TIME HAS EXPIRED FOR NEW
BILL TO BE INTRODUCED
IN LEGISLATURE

Several members of the Legislature
were made acquainted with the con,
diion and it was hoped that a law
would be enacted early in the ses.
sion dealing with the matter, but for
some reason 1t has been ignored. AS
new bill can be introduced now on.
ly by unanimous consent it is possible
that the legislature will adjourn and
for two years more beaver will go
unprotected. II this should occur we
may as well bid farewell to this
species of the furry tribe in Nevada.
If 1t Is not too late and bill pro-
viding for closed season can be in
troduced, 1t would be well to provide
also that where great damage is be-
ing done that limited number may
be trapped A good way to deal with
this would be to provide that all furs
be turned over to the game warden
and that one-half of the proceeds from
sales go to the fish and game preser-
vation fund and the other half to the
trapper or property holder.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Secre-
tary Bryan today announced that a
message had been received from We
nustiana Carranza, first chief of the
Mexican constitutionalists. conceding
all demands made on him recently by
the United States. The message
states that all foreigners will be &C.
corded safe conduct to seaports or
railroad stations should they desire to
leave and that there will be no more
prosecutions by General Obregon in
Mexico City. The greatest thing to
be feared was the evacuation of the
capital by the troops which would
leave all foreigners there to the mercy
Of mobs. The warning sent yester-
day called the attention of Carranza
to the serious conditions in the CAPT
tai and stated firmly that the foreign
element must be protected. To this
and all other demands made in the
note Carranza agreed.
Fleet Ready to Move.
In the meanwhile Secretary Daniels
of the navy, has announced that the
big Atlantic fleet will be held in readi-
ness to move at any moment and If
conditions do not improve as promised
the order to depart for Vera Cruz and
Tampico will be given.

WILL BEAVER GO UNPROTECTED?

many complaints about beaver doing
great damage to agricultural lands by
means of dams which diverted the
water from streams and threw 1t over
large areas. Relief was sought from
damage being done and the matter
was laid before the attorney-generaI
by the game warden. The former in
looking into the laws found the fol-
lowing condition: .
The legislature OF 1909 amended
the law pertaining to beaver extend.
ing the closed season until January
l, 1920. The session of 1911 enacted
new law which was very similar to
the old, but in it the item of beaver
was omitted. This new law repealed
the old together with all amendments,
and as consequence beaver were left
without protection.
Had this condition been generally
known dozen of trappers would have
been out the past several months and
hardly beaver would now exist, but
those who knew of it kept it quiet
number of trappers have been more
or less active but it was considered
best to let them think that they were
acting In violation OF the law and not
disturb them.
