BEAVER DAMS
CAUSE STREAMS 10 FLOOD RAIL
ROAD TRACKS IN WIS
CONSIN.

Popular Mechanics: In certain
parts OF Wisconsin beavers have in
creased rapidly during the last few
years, owing to the enforcement Of
rigid laws for their protection. AS a
result a serious as well as an amusing
situation has arisen i'm Oneida county,
along Bear Skin and Rucky Run
creeks. where great numbers of the
industrious little animals have built a
series Of large dams that have backed
up the stream and caused the tracks
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul railway to b flooded and dam
aged.
Following heavy rains some time
ago Bear Skin creek rose at several
points west of Goodnow, covering the
railroads right of way. When the
water failed to recede. an ~investiga-
ton showed that a beaver dam, and
not the rain, was responsible for tho
trouble. Since it is contrary to the
statutes to destroy these works, the
assistance of the conservation com
mission had to be enlisted before the
condition could be rectified. The
state game warden subsequently su-
perintended the destruction of the
dam, which had backed up a siX-foot
head of water. Owing TO the sub
stantial construction of this blockade
ten separate blasts Of dynamite Were
required to clear it away.
Two or three weeks after this was
accomplished il again became neces-
sary to destroy a dam at the same
place, for during the interim the
beavers had reconstructed it. The
same condition prevails at the pres.
ent writing, and it is a matter of bu'
a very short time until this obstruc.
ton will need to be eliminated
Since the animals apparently refuse
to be discouraged in building at thi:
particular point, it is considered pos
sible that steps will have TO be taker
to RAJ them and remove them tt
another place so that their work viii
not menace the railroad. The pop
ulation of this specific colony is no
accurately known, but the extent o
the work suggests that there may b.
500 or more of the animals in tina
immediate locality.

new SETTLERS
INDICATIONS POINT TO GENERAL
MOVEMENT OF THE SET

Pierre, Feb. 3.-The indications at
the present time are that there will

and livestock into the western part
of the state the coming spring, as

ported that one settlement of ten
families from Illinois are arranging
TO locate in one vicinity neal Cotton

renters who are tired Of paying the
high rentals demanded for farm
lands. when they can come to this
state and purchase land outright for
the rental asked in Illinois for from
two to three years. The transporta-
ton companies also say that from all
indications at the present time they
are going TO be called upon to handle
a lot of stock which will be placed on
the farms and small ranches in the
country between the Missouri and the
Black Hills as soon as it is proper 10

COURT DECISION
DAKOTA CENTRAL TELEPHONE
COMPANY LOSES IN ITS
CONTENTION AGAINST
CITY OF MITCHELL.

Pierre, Feb. 3.-In an opinion by
Policy in the supreme court. the city
of Mitchell wins in its contention
with the Dakota Central Telephone
company. The original franchise to
the company requires a payment of a
portion of the gross proceeds of bust
ness to the city. When the law was
passed taxing franchises in lieu of all
other taxes, the company declined to
make further payments on ground
that such was a tax. The court holds
the franchise contract is for the use
of streets and alleys, is not a tax, and
must be paid.

SWEET CLOVER
MANY INQUIRIES FOLLOW RE
PORT OF SUCCESS WITH THIS
HAY CROP NEAR PIERRE.

Pierre, Feb. 3.-That true crop
stories are well appreciated every
where. and even by the government
officials has lately been proven when
a Pierre dispatch published in some
South Dakota papers and in the Sioux
City Tribune and other sources con-
corning the splendid crop harvested
this year of sweet wild clover on the
Fort Sully Cattle company's ranch,
twenty-five miles northwest Of Pierre
owned by Chester Gowdy, of Fielder,
and Bert Waite, of Sioux City. This
story gained the attention of many
farming journals and inquiries from
interested farmers, as we'll as Off
cial request from the United States
government for exact knowledge or
the raising of this crop, accompanied
by requests for samples or the seed
and prices for sale of it are arriving.
Letters have been received from
more than a hundred sources to date,
asking for sale of the seed, but Mr..
Gowdy has disposed of what excess
he had, over what he intends TO use
himself in sowing larger areas next
spring. but next year much additional
yield is expected, because, as the ar
ticle originally stated, it is the opin-
ion of this firm that the sweet clover
is the salvation of the highlands OF
this partly arid country, in great su-
periority over any kind of alfalfa
whatsoever. Last year, when alfalfa
everywhere failed to yield a seed, al
most, the clover did its most, and the
hay tonnage was immense, and the
cattle thrive upon 1t. And all of this
without a drop of care, after sowing.
1t appears the clover crop Will run
out the most obstinate sort OF weeds
anywhere, even the celebrated Rus
sian thistle, which grows in this
country excessively the moment the
sod is once broken.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
CIATED PRESS.

New York, Feb. Especial: Fifty
four persons killed and sixty-seven
injured Is the result Of the raid of the
German airships over Norfolk, Suf-
folk, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Stat
fordshire and Lincolnshire Monday
night, according to the official report
of the British government. In all
twenty-five bombs were dropped from
the aircraft and considerable material
damage was done.
Berlin reports that all the airships
retuemed safely to their bases and
states that Liverpool, Birkenhead
and Manchester and along the Hum
Der docks, blast furnaces and fac
tories were attacked, heavy eXplo-
sions and serious fires resulting. On
the Humber a battery was silenced
Except for a German infantry at
tack northeast of Arras, which was
checked by a fusilade of hand gre
nades thrown by the French, artil-
lery duels and bombardments have
predominated on the western front.
A single infantry attack near
Monte Bombon, where the Italians
repulsed the Austrians. is the most
important operation. aside from the
usual artillery actions reported from
the Austro-Ttalian front.
From Riga to the Stripa river there
have been several infantry engage
ments in which the Austro-Germans
were worsted by the Russians, ac-
cording to ~Petrograd, but the fight
ing on this front also has been mostly
by the big guns.
In the Caucasus, around Lake Tor

declared to be still pursuing the
Turks.

DRESS


New York, Feb. 3.-Extreme fash
ions in women's dress will be one OF
the most important topics to be con-
sidered at the General Federation of
Women's clubs of America, here next
May. says Mrs. William Grant Brown,
chairman of the local board of the
federation.
Ten thousand delegates will take
back to their homes a concrete idea
of dress reform that will be a bless
ing to the whole country said Mrs.
Brown. 1--WE believe in the decollete
gown so far as it is a work of art,
but it should be modest. and never
sensational.
There has grown up a custom OF
dress for women, especially young
girls. that is simply frightful. The
extreme split skirt that shocked us
once has given place to the extreme
split waist. Evening gowns worn
nowadays by women who probably
mean we'll, but are foolish. are utter
ly disgusting, being cut in some cases
almost to the waist line.
These women do not do this to at
tract attention, but because they are
possessed of the idea that to be part
ly dressed is fashionable.
Many women suggest that if the
present custom of sensational dress
ing continues an established ballroom
censorship should prohibit women so
gowned from appearing on the floor
exactly as indecent dancing is for
hidden"
