BEAVERS DO MUCH MISCHIEF
Are Uneasy Over the Situation
They Have Created.

Because the limited intelligence
of the beaver goes no further than its
own immediate purposes. owners of
property in the Adirondacks are wish
ing that the beaver was less indus
trious and seriously wondering what
is to be done to stop the increasing
number of these willing workers from
decreasing the value and beauty of
this famous region. The forest rangers
of the conservation commission, says
a writer in the Albany Journal last
summer estimated the undesirable re-
suits that had followed the building of
nearly GOO beaver dams, and found
that an area of about S,6S1 acres had
been flooded, and something like $751;
600 worth of good understandable stand
ing timber was being destroyed. Con
sidering that the number of beavers.
now estimated at about $4,000 is be-
lieved to be increasing about 5000 a
year. the damage bids far to become
a serious problem. Not only do they de-
strOy valuable timber. hut they are
steadily Changing the character of the
Adirondack scenery along the water
courses and altering the shore line Of
the lakes; yet the region without any
beavers at all would not be the Adj
rOEdacks as nature made it and as
those who now 60 there to enjoy its
beauty like to find It, Time was when
the beavers seemed likely to vanish,
and the state took them under its pro-
lection; now the danger seems to be
that they are so well protected that
they will eventually "cOme back" in
numbers out of proportion to the
normal population of beavers when
the Adirondacks were subject to the
conditions of life in wild country.
