explained that his client had made

Mrs. Bradstreet and was being
prosecuted for failure to keep up
alimony payments Of $500 a.

The lawyer told reporters Brad

81 ASKING
REPORTS
GIVEN
STUDY

a meeting of the merger
subcommittee of the Senate
District Committee probably
will be held this week to work
out a program for considering
the Wilson traction merger
agreement.
Senator Arthur Capper Of
Kansas. chairman, will call the
meeting as soon as the members
of the subcommittee have digested
the contents of the two reports on
the proposed unification which were
submitted last week by the Bureau
OF Efficiency and DR.. Milo r.
Maltbie.
The committee chairman still
hopes that some kind of a merger
can be approved during the present
session. He realizes that the pro-.
posed agreement with its $50 ,O0O, 600
valuation cannot receive the
approval OF his subcommittee. but
he has hopes that the traction in
ferests will make concessions in
their agreement which viii allow it
to be approved.
Wilson Is Silent
No announcement had been made
as yet, however, by Harley r.
Wilson, originator of the proposal,
or any OF his aides, as to their
future plans in view of the dam
aging report by Maltbie.
Jud ing from their attitude,
though. observers believed that they
were planning to go ahead and try
TO force the merger through Con-
gress without any major amend
ments.
These observers believe that the
traction interests will be unwilling to
make any real concessions during
the present session because of the
fact that their full demands have
been met by the House District Com
n1fttee.

session to get the agreement through

nnents. it is believed.
Then, in the extra session, which
is expected to follow Immediately
after this one. there still would
time to begin talking about eonces-
sioLis. The merger agreement does
not expire until June, which would
give about three months in which to
draft amendments and approve the
agreement during the special session.

come while the process of reforestation
is going on. Not only could many i'm
tied areas of private land be thus re-
claimed, instead of, as is so often the
case, being relinquished as not worth
their taxes, but state and federal lands
of this type could also be utilized for
the double industry of fur and forest
production.
Arctic Waste Lands.-There is a still
more extensive field for beaver Gull
ture in the more northern areas of
Canada and Alaska, beyond the COM
mercially valuable forest timber, but
where aspens and willows are an
abundant part of the natural forest
growth and where beavers were once
so numerous as to yield annually mil
lions of dollars worth of fur. If in
stead of the old policy of encouraging
the determination of animals by a
wild scramble to get their skins, def
mite areas in these parts should be
leased or sold to individuals or COM
panies for raising beavers under con-
troll, as private property, this once
valuable fur region would again be-
come productive and develop related
industries.
Recently the biological survey has
announced further studies in how TO
increase the beaver population of this
country. Only two centuries ago
beavers inhabited the greater part of
the North American continent and
were an important source of food and
warm clothing to the native people.
Traffic in their skins promoted early
settlement of the country. They have
been exterminated over much of their
area by intensive trapping, but for the
last 20 years they have been given
special protection in many sections of
the country and under favorable con-
ditions have thrived and increased
rapidly. While it would be obviously
unwise to restore the animals to Gull
tivated fields and orchards in agricul-
tural areas, there are still many To-
calities where they could be intro
duced without harm.
Their restoration is advocated un-
der conditions rather different from
what the old-time beavers knew The
survey forecasts the time when beav-
ers, like foxes, terrapins and other
creatures from the wilds, will be
raised on farms. Beaver culture, it
asserts, will develop into a profitable
industry; through domestication the
animal will again become a source of
benefit.
BY fencing and trapping, beavers
may be restricted to areas where the
destruction they work is of no cOnSe-
quence; and whatever trees are there
may be protected by strips of woven
wire. Under control, beavers are ca
pable of high usefulness. Their dams
store water in reservoirs along noun
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-03-16

tain streams and so help to prevent
floods and extensive erosion, and in
dry weather they increase the stream
flow.
Beavers with the darkest, most beau
tiful and most valuable fur, are found
along the southern shore Of Lake SUI
perior, in Wisconsin and Michigan. In
other localities the fur is paler and
less desirable. Light-furred pelts bring
from Sc to $S each, heavy drak-brown
skins from Canada and Alaska bring
from $40 to S25 each, and the rare
"black beavers" from the south shore
of Lake Superior from S3S to $50.
Even the possibilities of marketing
beaver meat are suggested by the bu-
reau.
Beavers, it is found, are easily
tanned and remarkably adaptable 10
a new environment. Under control
and protection, their increase has been
found to be normal or even in excess
of that in the wild range. The COM
mercial practicability of beaver farm
ing has not yet been fully demonstrate
ed, but signs are said to point in that
direction.
Beaver farming has already been
tried in Canada and its success there
indicates the possibility of similar
success in this country, so that the
next few years may see number Of
beaver farms" established. From 8
recent statement of the colonization
department of the Canadian Pacific
railway are taken the following ex-
cerpts:
At the end of 1925 there were 2,26s
fur farms in the dominion, excluding
beaver and muskrat ranches, with
property valued at S13,076,048. All
the evidence would lead to the conclu-
sion that since that time this rela-
lively new Canadian industry has been
undergoing considerable expansion,
not only in the number of establish
ments but in the variety of animals
domestically raised. Every province of
the dominion now shares to large ex-
tent in this activity, while during 1927
the interest shown in western Canada
and the maritimes appears to have
been outstanding.
Many branches of fur farming are
thriving in western Canada and they
are constantly being supplemented.
Beaver have increased remarkably in
Alberta under the protection afforded
them. The season has been declared
open again, and this animal will fea-
ture more prominently in fur returns
in the future. with pelts coming both
from the wild and semidomestic
ranches. Silver-black fox farming, to
which there are numerous ranches de-
voted in Alberta, including one of 800
foxes near Calgary, has proved so
profitable that an effort is being made
to ascertain whether other species will
not flourish under domestic care.
