But if the opportunity offered and

The Original Logger

found food supply for many years
Their problem has been to get this
! food to the river. And this they have
done by means very similar to those
employed by man under similar cir
cumstances. They have dug canals
where this could be done and foated
their logs from pond to pond. Where
rocks interfered with digging, they
have built dirt ehutes or slides and
have skidded or dragged their logs
to the next pond. Where the last
pond drains to the river they have
built dam and thus made storage
/ reservoir. When ready to begin their
"drive" they have "chuted" their logs
over the dam and down an overflow
drain, like a lumberman's fume, into
the river. And thence they have
driven them home.
On the drive the beaver is in his
element. He rivals the Man River
hog, or driver, in efficiency, though
not in picturesqueness. True, he can
drive only one log at a time, but he
never has jam nor never loses a
water soaked "dead-head.." He can
not stand on log and birl it till the
white water foams" over it in a
sheet, but he gets it there, quietly,
quickly and with little fuss. When it
hangs up on a sandbar he gets be-
hind it and shoves it off. When it i
enters rapid he drops down stream
and waits for it in quieter water.
When he nears home he edges it into
the backwater near shore and grasp |
ing it to his chest with his fore legs
he floats it into his canal by padding
with his powerful hind legs and
scull like movement of his paddle
shaped tail.
When he needs assistance to get a
1eavy section, which to a beaver is
six or eight inches in diameter and
several feet long, over an obstruc-
ton, other beavr come, apparently
without bidding, to his assistance.
For the beaver are true Utopians-
Ill for one, one for all; no bosses, no
no favorites. And their
MOTTO, which they live up to, is "a
maximum of efficiency for mini
mum of fuss"

THE CASE or RUMANIA.

Rumania is kingdom Of million
inhabitants hemmed in between Rus
sia, Hungary and Bulgaria. Its peo-
pie are Of Latin stock and speak a
language akin to the Latin tongues
Of Europe. SO they are sharply cut
off from the Slavic and Hungarian
peoples about them.
Across the Hungarian line live 3
million more Rumanians, subjects or
the Hungarian government. Out of
this situation has arisen one of the
problems that tend to complicate the
war. For the Rumanian government
has always looked forward to gath
ering into it's dominion the Ruman-
ians of the "unredeemed9 lands of
Hungary.
In recent years Austria Hungary
has been beset by two kindred prob
lens on the east and south. One
has been the rise of Servia, with its
threat to the south Slavs living un-
der the dual monarchy. The other
has been the rise of Rumania, with
the danger of a secession of the Ru-
manian districts of Hungary to the
Rumanian kingdom.
1t was the problem of Servia and
the south Slays that precipitated the
war. Meanwhile Rumania preserved
its neutrality, awaiting developments.
But the Teutonic allies have known
all along that the Rumanian interests
tempted it into support of Russia,
with the chance of increasing its pop
ulation by half. Up to this time eau
ton has been the animating policy of
the government at Bucharest. 1t has
been watching to see whether the
German military machine would
smash Russia, what Turkey might do,

came on. He at once lit out toward
the house like brindle pup after a
calico kitten. Ben and the storm
both struck the house at about the
same time, but by the time Ben got
the door open and got inside, the out
side of his carcass was frozen as hard
as piece of flint. Ben's sister and
her husband got Ben up by the stove
and began to work with him. They
had to go easy at first to keep from
breaking him, but as Re was frozen
only about half inch deep they got
him pretty well thawed out in a
couple of hours. 1t would have been
better if they had thawed Ben out
with snow, but it was so cold out
doors that it was too much risk to
try to go out after snow. They rub
bed him all over with arnica and
made him swallow a pint of pain kill
er and then put him to bed. The next
day he was a sight. He was able to

and shake himself like a Leghorni

off. He peeled off just as deep as he
had been frozen. When he had COM

and frolicsome as a yearling colt.
Before the cold snap he weighed $40
pounds, had proboscis like young
moles on his neck and

PoLYGAMy AFTER THE WAR.

Permission of polyRamy in Europe
after the close of the war is fore
seen as a possibility by Lieut.. Gen.
Nelson A. Miles. He thinks plu-
rality of wives may be necessary
in order TO make up for the great
loss of men.
"In some countries said General
Miles, "there will not remain enough
men TO rebuild the ruined home. The
destruction Of humanity in this waI
is beyond anything heretofore dream
ed of, After the Thirty Years War,
Germany permitted plurality OF
wives, so great had been the loss of
men in the country 1t is not i'm
possible that such conditions will fol-
low this conflict, for war is destroy
ing men as never before.
"The hope Of the world hereafter
is a federation. A federation of ma
tons, some say, is vision. But this
is not true. The great nations of the
world are no further apart today in
communication, ideals, and civiliza-
ton than were the Is American colo
MES after seven years Of fighting.
Yet these colonies were united into /
a federation that endured,
"Just so il is perfectly feasible to
plan world federation, uniting the
great nations as the colonies were
united in a union that shall mean en-
during peace"

~ EAVER have inhabited Gar
den Valley so long that the
/ L. most accessible aspen, alder
and other choice articles OF
food to these rodents or gnawers
have been drowned. Hence, of recent
years, Mr.. and Mrs. Beaver and fam
lily have had to draw their writer's
food supply from groves rather hard
to get at. And in the doing they have
discovered to the interested observer
marvellous ingenuity.
There is a remarkable parallel be-
tween mans methods of logging the
timber resources of any region AND
the beavers. Man cuts the timber
nearest home. When that supply is
exhausted he cuts all trees close
to driyable streams and floats them
down. And when this timber is ex-
down. And when this timber is ex-
hausted too, he devices methods of
overland transport and thus gets tim
Der formerly considered inaccessible,
but gets it at cost of time and
work. So, too, with the beaver.
Those of the Beaver Bottoms when
they found the aspen groves near
home exhausted, assembled the Pay
cite South Fork, felled such aspen as
they found on it's banks and fioated
it down stream to their homes. Dur
ing flood times the river had cut mar
row bayous from the beaver reser- |
voirs to the stream and these the bea-
yer had deepened and damned. Ana
up these, to their ponds, they towed
and tugged their aspen, gnawing
them into sections when necessary
to handle them easier.
In the course of time this second
supply of aspen had become exhaust
ed and the beaver were compelled to
get their timber from greater anG
greater distances from the stream
bank. One of the most interesting of
heir logging operations is on the
lat near the mouth of Wash creek.
Here there are chain of narrow
title ponds occupying what was once
he bed of the South Fork, but is now
;ome thirty feet above it. In the as
zen growing with the pine trees be-
tide these ponds the beaver have

A COMMON sCoLD.

The manner in which the count,

doesn't seem to suit the poor ole
Examiner, as witness the following
in its last issue:
What do you think of the coun-
ty division proposition and the
manner il is being looked after?
Don't all speak at once.
That eruption is not unexpected.
That paper has been chronic
crouch and grumbler since it came
under its present management and
no one expects il to be satisfied with
anything.

men as John McNish, V. T. Craig, f..

faithful in the highest degree. Those
unacquainted with the difficulties of
bringing together discordant elements
can have no conception Of the labor
and time and individual expense that
this committee has expended on the
proposition, and whether success shall
crown their efforts or not, they are
entitled to praise rather than cen
sure.
In view Of these facts, the insinua-
tons which the Examiner throws out

HAD TO ADMIT "DRAWBACKS'
Doubtful, However, If Auctioneer's "Candor" lnterfered With the
 Sale of the Estate.

A certain London auctioneer, in ad- dition to a fine personal appearance and splendid elocutionary talents. is possessed of considerable culture and knowledge of human nature.
 At book sale this gentleman would read with exquisite taste passages from the books he was selling. with brief biographies and criticisms of their authors. reciting hexameters from Greek and Roman classics. and rendering passages from humorous writers with a tone and air so lu. dicrous as to set the room in a roar of laughter. Thus he often won higher prices for books than those got at the shops.
 An amusing example of his clever ness in extolling an estate Is the lan' guage with which he once closed a highly-colored description of the prop erty he was selling. For few mo- ments he paused and then said:
 And now. gentlemen, having given truthful description of this magnifi- cent estate. candor compels me to ad. init that it has two drawbacks-the lit. ter of the rose leaves and the noise of the nightingales."
