TRANSMITTING BEAVERS.

Transplanting beavers from one To-
cality to another proved highly sue
cessful in Okanogan county. according
20 Clay Fruit. chairman Of the Okla
gan county game commission. who
as conducted a series Of experiments
along this line during the past few
years.
Along the Okanogan river beavers
have become nuisance In many To-
calities where they have been allowed
to propagate without interference, and
have become destructive to orchards.
In taese cases they have been trapped
by the game commission and taken
further back into the mountains and
planted in mountain streams where
they Immediately go to work con-
structing dams, which soon become a
big factor In water conservation.
Just recently new colonies Of beaver
have been planted ON the south fork
and north fork Of the west branch Of
Salmon creek, west Of Conconully.
Each foundation colony consists Of
one male and two feamles. The ami
mails were taken from the Okanogan
and Twisp rivers at points where they
had begun making depredations. Chas.
Haley Of Tonasket, in the employ OF
the game commission, caught the an
imals and conducted them to their
new homes, where it is expected they
will soon become engaged in their
usual work Of dam construction and
make themselves at home.

sion has transplanted some seventeen
beavers within the past year.-Oka.

CAMERON DEFEATS
 seo,ooo APPROPRIATION
 FOR GRAND CANYON

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-The en- tire appropriation for administration maintenance and further improve ment of Grand Canyon National Park, was stricken from the interior appro- priation bill by the senate today be- fore the measure was passed and sent to conference with the house for adjustment of dozen amendments. Action by the senate followed a speech by Senator Cameron, Republi- can. Arizona. in which he attacked the useless and worse than useless" expenditures of public funds in states where national parks are located. in order ito gratify the whims Of a few who would profit by the expendi- tures."
 The senator declared that the s90.- 900 which it was proposed to spend in Grand Canyon Park would go to build community houses. trails and roads over which "one corporation could put on busses and get that much more from the public" He charged also that it was the intention of those behind the appropriation to build campers quarters in regions where only thirty or forty millionaires congregate and have a good time"
 Concessions in all of the great parks are controlled by one corpora tion. he asserted.
 What I have said Of the Grand Canyon Park is true of all the others. ' he shouted. q intend to do all I can to stop such foolish expenditures. It is no wonder that the people wonder why their taxes are large when so much money goes into such sink holes"
 The opinion was expressed tonight that some of the funds for the Grand Canyon Park would be restored to the bill in conference. Cameron, however served notice that there would be no spending of money for what he de- scribed as the development of -con- cessionaire properties if he could pre- vent it.
 The two principal sums in the ap- propriations for the park where S4S.- 900 for park maintenance. administra- tion. etc, and $4o,0oo for reconstruct ing Kaibab Trail, completing the Her init Rim road and for the building of community houses and campers quar- ters.

The kill totaled 2s3 jackrabbits and cottontail. There were hunters there from all parts of the county and guns Of all sorts were in evidence, as well as clubs for the close in work of extermination. The drive was made to try and clear that section of the county of the pests which have become so numerous that they were a menace to the crops.
