OPEN SEASON ON BEAVER
IN TWELVE COUNTIES
Trapping to be Allowed During Feb
ruary aud March Of This Year
and Next.

Madison-After having enjoyed
almost absolute protection for
nineteen years, Wisconsin's most
industrious citizens are facing real
peril. At midnight on Jan. 81,
throughout II northern counties,
hundreds of traps will be waiting
to spring on the unwary and
hitherto exempt beaver.
For two months, February and
March, of this year and next, the
beaver trappers get their long
awaited inning a certain price.
The special license to trap beaver
will cost S. for each man. The
would-be procurer of beaver skins
must pay SO cents tag for the
little metal strip which-so the
law declares-must be placed on
each skin. To get license, one
must have been resident of Wis
consin for at least one year These
obstacles will not deter many, how
ever.
Beaver are exceedingly numerous
after their long protection from the
fur gatherers. Probably more
beaver are to be found in Wiscon-
sin, right now, than in any other
state in the Union. Yet this con
dition is in striking contrast 10 that
of 1908, when the legislature realiz
ed the need of immediate and
sweeping action if Wisconsin
beaver were to be saved. At that
time only three known colonies
were to be found in all Wisconsin.
While beaver have grown more
plentiful, commercial skins have
become more scarce. At the local
fur houses, prices for beaver skins
range from $I2 for the smallest to
SIS for the largest. The vogue
for beaver collars and cuffs on
Hudson seal have made beaver fur
almost feminine necessity.
Almost no states, other than
Wisconsin, will permit general
trapping of beaver this winter
This means that buyers from other
states will solicit furs here. So
greatly will demand exceed any
possible supply that, according TO
one local fur merchant, "the catch
in these II Wisconsin counties will
not make ripple in the market.
Prices may go higher before the
Wisconsin season ends. "
Given half a chance, beaver will
multiply rapidly. Mr.. Scheibel
points with pride to the story of
beaver in Villas county.
when we shipped 70 beaver to
the state game farm, six or more
years ago, +" continued Mr.. Scheibel,
there wasn't a beaver in Villas
county. Today there are IL or IS
colonies throughout the codnty
formed by 'emigrants' from the
original group we placed on our
state farm"
That beaver can stand a limited
amount of trapping and still main
tain working force for dam repairs
is shown by the fact that beaver
are frequently found in Price, Rusk
and Sawyer counties, where special
trapping has been permitted, under
authority of the conservation com
mission-since 1917. During the
winter of I9i7-I9I8 100 special
trappers' licenses were issued for
beaver. A total of 537 hides were
taken, representing a value of 81 =
1880. The largest number trapp.
ed by single man was 50. Each
year since then approximately the
same number of licenses have been

tent, but to replace it would cost
considerably more than the value
placed on it.
With the city in possession of
the equipment it would be in better
position to go ahead and develop
a source of supply, a matter which
has been considered for some time.
1t is understood that the water
company would be willing to have
the purchase price payments ex-
tend over a period Of many years.

CHARGED WITH 0FFENSE
AGAINST WAR RISK ACT

Edward F. Harris, 1859 l. street north
west, was taken into custody yesterday
by United States Marshal Weaver,
charged with violation Of section IL OF
the war risk insurance act, and Will
appear before United States Commits
sioner George II. Macdonald Wednes-
day afternoon.
1t is alleged that Harris solicited
Thomas Carey. 904 McDonough street
Baltimore, Md, with reference to the
filing of disability claim for compen-
sation with the United States Veterans
Bureau. Carey served as pri-
vate in Battery c, 31st ield Artillery,
and during his war service was injured
to q compensate degree.
1t is alleged in the charges that Har-
ris demanded $500 for securing the
adjudication of this claim for Carey
and that he did receive $100 of the $500
on or about March 4, when Carey re-
ceived a check totaling $1,129.49 for ac-
crued compensation.
On April Carey received another
check for $S73.44, which brought his
compensation payments up to date and
Harris attempted to collect one-third OF
this amount, which would have been
s291.14; but it is declared by both Carey
and his wife that Harris agreed to ac-
cept $500 in final payment.

Unless the new ambassador has
plenary powers and speaks for every
administration in France, no matter
how often politics may change

more success than Jules Jusserand,
and he may have even less.

Rubber and Maple Sugar.

An interesting parallel has been
drawn between the different varieties
Of rubber trees in the tropics and
those Of maple trees in this country
out Of about 1909 varieties of trees
all Of which produce more or less rub,
Der sap, only forty or fifty have been
found whose product is considered
commercially valuable.
When a would-be cultivatOr Of rub.
Der goes TO tropical country and sets
out a plantation of rubber trees, which
the natives know do not belong to the
right variety, he causes amused com
ment. such as would be excited by a
South American who came to the Uni
ted States and bored holes in soft
naples with the expectation of OBJ
tanning sugar sap. Experience has
shown that excellent rubber trees
transplanted from their native habl
tat or other regions having apparent
ly identical soil and climate may flour
ish In growth, yet lose their producing
power. Rubber culture requires great
expert knowledge

Drama Democratic.

It Is the good fortune Of the drama
that it is the most democratic Of the
arts, since it must direct Itself to the
people as a whole. Yet this appeal to
the multitude has never debased the
drama. Hamlet" ard ''Tartuffe" are
most popular plays; and they are also
masterpieces Of dramatic art. Shake
speare and Moliere did not condescend
to the public; they gave that public
the best they had in them, but with
the utmost care 10 give it also what
they knew Ii relished. OF course, very
few pieces have ever had the breadth
of appeal Of Hamlet and ''Tartuffe" /;
and the modern dramatist, when he is
building his play, is likely to have in
mind some subdivision of the throng-
either the larger segment that Graves
the fierce joys Of melodrama or the
smaller cross-section that is ever eager
to discuss the neutrality-suspicious.
