Considerable excitement has pre-
vailed in Challis for week past, by
the citizens, owing to the fact that
II. F. Powell has advertised to make
final proof on H. E. No. 1903, for the
NE1A NE14 Sec. 80, TIP. IA n, R. 10
+. This takes forty acres and inc1ud
es all of the business portion of the
town. And we learn that Axel Olson
and E. G. Dodge have each filed on
forty acres, thereby taking the re-
mainder of the townsite. The above
named citizens will be asked to relin-
auish their filings. 1t is almost i'm
possible for them to get final proof
to their claims. The Probate Judge
is the proper person to make such
proof, as the time for proving up on
this townsite has not expired as yet.
The following items were taken
from The Challis Messenger of date
of December, 10, 1895.
Take notice that the Probate Judge
of Custer County has filed at the gov

etc., and on roots, buds, berries and
leaves. A store Of goodsized green
logs is always sunk in the water at
the doors Of their houses for winter
feeding. When the trees near the
water are used up and the land is
too uneven for rolling. logslldes and
canals are cut in the banks and bot
tom to carry down the timbers.
These channels may be hundreds OF

Fur Is Valuable
The soft, thick gray under-fur of
the beaver has long been highly val
ued by man, and during the Severn
teenth and eighteenth centuries beaN
yer skins held first place In the
worlds fur trade. At that time, be-
fore the invention Of the modern
silk hats, mems hats were made
from beaver skins and hence the
word beaver" often meant hat"
So great was the demand for bea-
yer fur that in the western part OF
Canada and the United States bea-
yer skins at times passed as cur
rency.
Formerly this animal was dis
tributed through the wooded part OF
the northern hemisphere, but 1t has
been hunted until it is almost exter-
minated in settled portions. IN the
United States it Is scarcely found
east Of the Mississippi. Occasional
colonies are known, however, In
Maine. Virginia, and a few other
places.
Rigid protection Is afforded i'm
most American States and In eastern
Canada, and a plea has been pre-
scented for a game and fur preserve
in the Canadian northwest. In
Itasca Park. in Minnesota, the
beaver has in recent years multiplied
rapidly under protection.
Friends of the beaver have en-
countered bitter opposition, because
Of the damage it sometimes causes
by flooding tracts Of valuable timber.
It's good deeds, however, outweigh
the bad. BY building a series Of
dams in mountainous districts, the
beavers form ponds which hold the
waters Of the melting SHOWS and
give them out gradually during the
summer to the arid plains. Thus the
help to irrigate the land. Moreover
their great economic value as a
source Of fur and their interesting
habits should alone be a sufficient
argument in favor OF protecting
them.

"EIVING GlMLETS" COSTLY
Federal Timber Expert Says Borers
Cost $4o,ooo,ooo Annually.

Under the slogan, Board Feet or
Bored Timber" the Bureau of En-
tomology of the Department of Agri-
culture has declareds vigorous war
fare through motion pictures and an
educational campaign against PIN
hole borers, wormhole borers, pine
sawyers, ambrosia beetles and other
animated gimlets.
The annual damage done by these
borers is estimated at $40, ,000, 900, al
though the ways of fighting them are
extremely simple. The department
recommends quick handling of logs
at sawmills and elimination of waste
materials, in which the insects breed;
prompt removal of. logs from the
woods after Telling, submerging of
logs in ponds, peeling of gum trees
after cutting and deadening of cy-
press trees on the stump before cut
ting.
