BEAVER HOLD UP U. S. MAIL
(From Wells Herald)

A short time ago this paper con
tanned short item to the effect that
beaver were becoming quite numerous
in certain parts OF Elko county since
the law went into effect protecting
them at all seasons of the year.
On Monday of this week Contract.
or Jensen of the lls.Metropolis line
was late in arriving at the postofIice
at the Wells end, and in giving his
report for the delay, stated that il
was caused by beaver. A closer in
quiry into such an unusual condition
brought out the fact that the beavers
exist in large numbers on Bishop
creek at the bridge. For some time
they have been attempting to dam
the stream at that point, and Mr. Jen-
sen says that on each of his last three
daily trips he has been compelled TO
remove distractions placed under.
meath and around the bridge by the
animals. II has been found necessary
to remove number of plank in order
TO release the small timbers placed
In the dam by the beaver. On Mon
day the bridge was in an unsafe con
dition, the animals having damned
the stream to such an extent that the
water was flowing around the abut-
| ments, steadily undermining them
and Mr.. Jensen was obliged to spend
considerable time at the bridge in or
der to Offset the labors of the beaver
and temporarily save the structure.
This condition of affairs raises an
interesting problem. As is well
known, there is severe penalty at.
| tachable TO anyone in this state who
shall kill one of these animals, and no
person has authority to do away with
! them. Then how is this locality to
| get rid of the damaging colony that
has chosen that particular spot for
| operations? The matter has been
placed before the county authorities
for solution.

DISCUSS NEW GERMAN
U-BOAT INVENTION

PARIS, Sept. f.-German engineers
are supposed to have overcome the
difficulty of not having an engine
that will work equally well when
submarine is either on the surface
or submerged. An account of the
discovery appears in the Baslc Mach.
richten.
II may easily be seen it is impos-
sible for an oil engine to work in ii
closed space under water. because
combustion draws an amount of oNy-
gen from the air that no submarine
however capacious, could hold. For
this reason submarines have had two
motors, one for the surface, the other
for diving, which largely increased
the weight of the prOpelling mech
anism and at the same time reduces
the space for the crew and for pro.
visions and munitions.
! Besides this, the electric storage
batteries which have been used pos
sess the great disadvantage of pro
! duCing dclctcrious gases which viii
ate, more or less. the air of the yes
| sci. Change of air becomes necessary
at short intervals and the submarine
must come to the surface frequently
not only for this purpose. but to re
| charge its batteries by the action Oi

ables the enemy to surprise and sini

Al first sight this contrivanc
seems to be like perpetual motion Ii
