STRONGHOLD OF THE BEAVER
Largest Colony In Existence Making q
Last Stand In Businesses of
Southern Rockies.

Far up In the Businesses of the
southern Rockies, hidden In one Of the
most inaccessible hooks that remain
In this country today, what Is proba-
bly, the largest existing colony of beav-
er, has established itself for a last
stand.
The beaver was once one Of the most
abundant of our American animals, but
the ease with which he was trapped
and the value of his fur soon drove
him far on the road to extinction. Soon
only the most stringent of protective
legislation was able to save him, but
now he seems to be coming back"
and wherever he finds favorable To-
cation he Increases rapidly.
There is no better place in the world
to study the interesting habits of this
little animal than in that little hidden
mountain valley just south Of the Col
orado line which the MexIcans have
christened "Lagunitas" and the Amerl-
cans call Beaver Lakes" The valley
nestles against the very backbone of
the continental divide, 10000 feet
above sea level, and from every side
1t is approachable only " long and
toilsome forest travel, except in win
ter, when 1t Is not approachable at ALL
The hollow in the mountains crest is
dotted with irregular rows and minia-
ture ranges of hills, two and three
hundred feet high, that make up
most bewildering topography.
In among these hills the beaver have
built them city. The landscape is
Ideal for the building of their dams.
and by throwing barriers of stick and
mud from hillside to hillside they have
created dozen big lakes, some of
them half mile long. Along the
shores of these lakes are built the
beavers lodges. There are probably 4
thousand beaver in this community
reigning in undisputed supremacy over
their mountain domain. They are shy
brutes, but very early In the morning
and just at sunset you can often sur
prise them cutting the quaking aspen
on the bank with their chisel teeth or
plastering away industriously at one
OF their elaborate dams.

ENGLAND TO STAND
BY FRANCE TO END
WILL AID GALLANT ALLY UNTIL
SHE FREES HER CHILDREN
FROM FOREIGN YOKE.
German Statement Only Prolongs
Struggle, Cessation of Hostilities Not
Being Possible Until Concessions
Are Made as to Alsace-lorraine.

London.-Premier Lloyd-George, adj
dressing delegation of insurance
committees who called on Thursday to
urge a REIMBURSEMENT of the health in
surance and the establishment of a
ministry of health, declared that all
the nations thoughts and energies
were taken up by the terrible demands
made in defense of liberty and free
dom. He wished he could see the end,
but the task which the nation had
taken in hand must be accomplished:
He could not think of any state
ment more calculated to prolong the
war than the assertion of the German
foreign secretary, Won Kuehlmann,
that Germany would never contem-
plate the making of concessions to
France respecting AlsaceLorraine.
To Stand by France.
However long the war lasted. said
the premier, England intended to
stand by her gallant ally, France, I'M
til she redeemed her oppressed chill
dren from the degradation of for
eign yoke.
For the moment, every claim upon
the exchequer must be considered in
the light of the terrible possibilities
of the war, and when the war was
over, in freer, happier atmosphere
the country could begin to rebuild, re-
construct and degenerate.

TRAIN ROBBERY IN UTAH.
Three Bandits Hold Up Train and
Shoot One of Passengers.

Salt Lake City.-Three men held up
cen miles of Wendover. Charles Bar
berg of Salt Lake was shot in the leg
by one of the robbers. 1t is not known
how much the robbers secured-be-
tween $500 and $4,000.
The point where the robbery took
place is in the center of a vast area of
arid fiat lands, and in view of the fact
that travel on horseback would be
difficult, through scarcity of water, it
is believed that the bandits used an
automobile.

Items found in copies OF German

of the Ukrainian peasants against

but are also in line with the policy
adopted at congress of Ukrainian
peasants held In Zoiotonosha. Polta-

was attended by more than 1000
delegates, and which was finally
broken up by German troops with

as follows by the Berlin VorwartA
was unanimously adopted:
The laboring Ckrainian peasantry
wishes, in accord with the recently
concluded peace treaty, to regard the
central powers, particularly Ger
many, as friendly states

considers it necessary to demand that
these states do not interfere with
