YER
About two years ago William Welch
and Raymond Steyer were startled to
find some of their adjoining land near
White Church under water. A quick
investigation disclosed a dam of in
tertwined sticks, plastered eXpertly
with mud, and running about $50 feet
across the creek and surrounding low
spots. Obviously beavers had been at
work One part of the dam now
measures more than five feet high,
and the water covers about four acres.
A lodge which resembles nothing
more than pile of brush stands about
twenty-five feet from the breast of
the dam. Recently two more were

located 100 yards up creek. Several
trees, some measuring eight inches in
diameter, have been felled, stripped
clearly of their branches and bark.
The branches are used to build or re-
pair the dam and the bark serves as
the main dish of the beavers appetite.
Raymond Steyer says he's seen the
beavers only once or twice since they
set up housekeeping near his land.
That was around dusk. Beavers work
mostly at night, but may swim in the
pond or even cut trees by day, es-
pecially in cloudy weather. He saw
three at one time, but estimates there
must be six or more to accomplish all
the work that's been done.
These are not the FIRST beaver to
return to Garrett county, however.

lates that to his knowledge the first

Mrs. Tower included an invitation to

In a letter sent out in February,
women's organizations were asked to

Paul Cullers Home
Destroyed by Fire

The nine-room frame dwelling of
Mr.. and Mrs Paul Cullers, at Wilson,
was almost totally destroyed by fire
last Wednesday morning along with
most of the contents. 1t was only
partially covered by insurance.
The home was occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Cullers and their eight children.
Only three of them were at home at
the time the fire was discovered by
Robert Cullers, IA. Having started
from defective fluc, the flames
spread rapidly and by the time Mr..
Cullcrs had gone to Bayard and Cor
mania to notify the fire departments,
