GREAT DAMAGE
TO PROPERTY

WALLA WALLA, Was. May II.
Beavers damage the property of
farmers in the Walla Walla valley
to the extent of $4,000 annually, it
is estimated.
The ranchers who suffer due to the
furry little engineers would kill them
off, if it Were not for the fact that
the beaver carries on under the wing
of the law, being protected by feder-
al statute, as we'll as the state law.
The beaver has become such a pest
that the United States Biological sur
vey Service will conduct experiments
in the Walla Walla valley during the
latter part of June which will deter
mine the fate of thousands of beavers
in many m:ddlewestern states, as well
as Washington. The animals will be
captured alive if possible and removed
to forest reserves, where they can do
no harm.
If successful the plan will be adopt
ed mother states. If it fails, and Il
may, for this animal is mighty hard
to trap, the biological survey will pet
ition for legislative permission to ex-
terminate the beaver.
Certain sections of Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Montana ad other
middlewestern and western states are
confronted with the same problem as
Washington, although the damage is
most extensive in this state, according
to Leo X. Couch Of the rodent survey
division of the service.
Protected by Canadian law, the
beaver has also made more than a
nuisance of himself in some parts
of Ontario and Alberta. In the lat
ter province, the last provincial parli-
ment lifted the ban temporarily, and
it will be lawful to kill the beaver
there for a short period next fall.

1t will be remembered that General

HURTING THE COMMUNITY"

In little four line paragraph quot
ed from the Herald yesterday morn
ing in the columns the Herald said:
"Vertuperation is an ancient meth.
cd used by old fashioned politicians
who have not yet realized that it is
injourious to the community"
There is the same old cry that is
set up whenever anyone is exposed in
wrong doing. Always those who ex-
pose "are injuring the community"
Does not the Herald see that those
who have done the wrong who injure
the community? That is one of the
means of protection organized society
has from wrong doing by persons in
high places. When men placed III
high position by their fellows men de-
liberately violate the law, made to
protect the public treasury they in
jure the community. We're it not
for the danger of exposure it would
be done a great deal more than it is
DONE
And when men who have violated
the law get out and work openly for
a ticket that was framed in secret
the people have right to be suspic-
ious of that ticket, while newspaper
supporting the other ticket has a right
to call public attention to the record
made by those who were superseded
by the candidates it supports.

CORRECTING CANTU

The onlv state governor who has
not already joined the revolution for
the disposition of President Carranza
is now Cantu of Lower California;
and revolutionary leaders say that he
will be given only very short time
longer to get onto the band wagon.
Cantu, they point out, has already
given Carranza half a million dollars
for the purpose of fighting the rev.
olutionists, and thist fact is not now
likely to set well with the leaders of
the movement, which is now in the
ascendency. They point out the fact,
that Cantu has never acceeded to the
Carranza orders except when it
pleased him to do SO, and hence the
recent donation of half million to
fight the revolution would seem to
indicate a hostility on his part TO-
ward that movement.
1t is intimated that unless he joins
the movement of his own accord YER
shortly, an expedition will set on foot
to bring his section of the country in
to the revolutionary fold.

BOSTON May 11.-Prediction that
the fish industry will rank in short

country in Il Iy:ay a necessary artii-
Gle of f~vG - ll..larican consumers
was made today By l. M. Taylor,
president of i"st Coast Fisheries
Company, in an interview with the
United Press.
Taylor was recently appointed by
the Department of Commerce TO make
a special Investigation of the fish in
dustry in Europe for the government
"Fish is naturall an economical
and a development of that industry
on broad scale will do mucA to lower
living COSTS" Taylor declared.
The American people like sea fod
taylor stated, consequently the domes-
tic demand is larger than the export
demand, which under present condi-
tions is quite large.
During. the war our people were
taught to eat deep sea fish and came
to a realization of the great value
of this food" he said.
''The fish industry of Europe is
very highly developed, employing sew
eral thousand trawlers whereas the
fish industry of the United States
is comparatively undeveloped," Taylor
pointed out. "Our fishing banks
the largest in the world and contain
;ln exhaustable supply of fish," H.
said.
"The modren steam trawler has q
gigantic capacity harvesting up tc
100000 pounds a day. At present
We have fewer than forty steam traw-
lers in this country.
"When our middle western popula-
ton consumes an average of foul
ounces of fish food per week, two
hundred additional more trawlers will
be needed on this coast" he stated

BRITISH NAVAL POLICY

Couch who has made a study of
the beaver and his operations in the
Walla Walla valley, says the most
perfect beaver dam he ever saw
crosses the Walla Walla river near
this city. It is perfect specimen
of engineering skill and is more than
75 feet long. 1t raised the water
in the river four feet, forming a
"beaver pond" of large proportions.
1t had been made Of sticks and, in
some instances tree trunks from
three to five inches in diameter and
from three to five feet long, and was
plastered together with wonderful
skill.
In this work the beaver makes ex-
cellent use of his flat tail. With it
he digs the mud, carries it to the dam
and there it answers the purposes of
the mason's trowel. The mud is
pressed into the crevices. The dam
is securely anchored to trees on the
river banks to withstand spring
floods.
Fruit tress near small streams in
the Walla Walla valley have either
been girdled or cut down and dragged
into the streams by beavers. Forty
prune trees in one orchard were COM
;ietely cut down fly the powerful chis-
el-shaped front, teeth of these animals
The bark of these trees is sweet, and
as such barks form a part of their
regular food, the beaver stores them
for food against the time when thei.'
ponds and streams are covered with
ice.
One of the greatest noticeable
achievements of beavers in this vicini-
ty was their telling a "a inch cotton
wood tree by their repeated nightly
attacks. The tree was skilfully
brought down so that it fell across
stream and formed an anchor tim
ber for dam.
Beavers cause much damage to ir-
rigation bitches, damming the canals
and stopping the flow of waters. Re-
peated tearing out of these dams only
incite the little engineers to greater
effort to replace them.

According to private advices reach
ing "The Oasis" from Hermosillo,
President Carranza and General Muir
gia have been trapped with the men
still remaining loyal to them between
the towns of Eseperanza and
Apizarco, both of which towns are
held by revolutionary forces. The
country on both sides of tie railroad
is very mountainous, and it is not
thought possible that they can escape,
or avoid capture much longer.
General Obregon has given strict
orders that both -Carranza and Muir
gia be captured alive and not harmed.
1t is planned by the leaders OF the
revolutionary forces to take them t.
Mexico City, where they will be given
trial on the charge of numbering the
political prisoners in the penitentiary
there. before they left the city.
General Murgia left the city with
5000 men it is understood, but large
numbers of these have already d
serted to the forces of General Tre-
veno, and others are deserting in
small numbers and joining the rev.
olutionary forces, SO the question of
the capture of the president and his
head general may already be an ac-
complished fact.
