BEAVERS THRIVE
IN GREAT PARK
Protection given animals
Invites Many New
Colonies

Yellowstone Park.-A healthy in
crease in the beaver population OF the
Yellowstone National Park is reported
from many quarters this summer.
Some of the famous old beaver ponds
and lodges have been abandoned, but
there is new activity in many areas.
A scientific study OF beavers begun
in former years was continued this
year by Mr.. Edward r. Warren, ma
turalist of the Roosevelt Wild Life
Forest Experiment Station at SYRIA
cuse. New York. He has spent the
entire summer in the northeastern sec
ton OF the park, where beaver are es-
pecially active. The beaver in that
region are as numerous as natural con-
ditions will permit, and surplus of
population has compelled many OF the
animals to seek new feeding grounds
and build new dams and lodges.
The beaver makes his habitat in the
proximity OF aspen groves. In the
vicinity OF Camp Roosevelt large
groves of these trees have been cut
down. the bark used as food and the
logs for construction purposes. The
beaver has been obliged to abandon a
famous series of beaver ponds in Lost
Creek beside the Cooke City road.
The increasing beaver population is
attributed in part to the reduction in
number OF coyotes and wolves within
the park. These predatory animals,
great foes of the antelope and baby
elk, have been Systematically hunted
by rangers during recent winters Mr..
Warren suggests possibility that the
beaver population may eventually
reach a point where reduction may be-
come necessary. This could be ac-
complshed by trapping beaver fami-
lies and sending them to other ma
tional parks or regions where the res
toration of this valuable American ami
NAL is being attempted.
Marvellous engineering work OF the
beaver is describer by Mr.. Warren in
a publication. "The Life OF the Vel
lowstone Beaver Beavers use four
different types OF construction, he
writcs-dams, lodges, burrows and ca
nails. He regards the canal as in many
respects the highest engineering ae-
complishment. TO deliberately plan
and dig canal in which to float logs
to a pond. and not only that, but also
to build dams in this channel to hold
water TO desired level. is an intelli-
gent stunt" On Tower Greek, Warren
found two such canals. one 90 feet
long and another $50 feet.

POTATO WAR IS
IN LAST STAGE
Information Covering
Sales Supplied by
Cash Buyers

Another chapter was written IN the
local potato war this week when the
California Vegetable Union sent
serious message into the camp OF the
cash buyers and the latter, replying in
kind. today are publishing records OF
transactions in potatoes for the !atier
part OF this shipping season. Adver-
tisements stating the two cases appear
in this issue OF The Tribune.
Probably answering for all time
those who asserted last season that
cooperative handling OF the local po-
tato crop had run the cash buyers out
OF this territory, the authors OF the
advertisement appearing today wish
their customers well and conclude
with the promise to return next year.
Whether. lacking car numbers and
other specific information asked by
the c. V. L., the statement OF the
cash buyers will be accepted as fulfill
ing the requirements asked by the
opponents of cooperative marketin
was not determined. Members OF the
committee asked by the {. V. u, il
was said Tuesday. are ready to accept
their duties.
Figures so far available indicate the
potato crop handlers in this region
have not become wealthy this season.
that growers probably obtained. in
most cases. a larger percentage OF the
selling price of the potatoes, transpor-
ss,ion considered. than is usually true.

MRS. MORGAN, V|OLINIST,
DELIGHTS CONGREGATION
AT PENNEY MEM. CHURCH

At both the morning and evening
services Sunday at the Penney Me-
mortal United Baptist church, Mrs.
Maurine Morgan, formerly of New
york City, who recently moved to
Augusta, played several beautiful
violin selections. Mrs. Morgan play
cd in conjunction with the church
choir at the morning service and her
part. OF the program at the evening
service took the form Of d recitul. At
both services she was ably accom-.
panied by Leo Andrews, n former
Augusta boy, who has been away for
the past 20 years. The church was
hlied to capacity at each Of these
services.
At the morning service Mrs. Nor
gan played three numbers: "Fruhling
Erwachen," by Bach; "Ase' DEATH"
from the Peer Gynt suite by Greig;
and "Berceuse." from "Jocelyn" by
Goddard. These numbers were
charmingly rendered and formed a
very pleasing part of the service.
In the evening, Mrs. Morgan rem
dered six selections. They were:
"Romance-2nd concerto" by VIE
niawski; a group of four numbers,
the last two of which were by re-
quest, (a) "Valse Caprice" by Born
schein; CD Melody" by Won Goens:
(c) FoSSy Dew, by Alexander, and
Cd Memories" Cadman; and Air
Narie No. H. by De Beriot.
Her execution and technique were
very fine and the selections which
she rendered required great skill in
both lingering and bowling. Mrs.
Morgan has had much experience as
a violinist and this fact is easily evil
dent in her playing. In the song.
"FOppy Dew" which was Oririnally
an Irish folk song, her Interpretation
was especially beautiful.
Mrs. Morgan will make her home
in this city and will be a distinct ad-
dition to Augusta musical circles.
