BeaverWreaks Havoc, Area Trapper Sought By JAMES BATES District Conservation Officer BEAVER TRAPPING: The beaver is a most Industrious Industri-ous animal. They are constantly building and repairing dams, digging channels, and felling trees. Sometimes they make their homes in undesirable places such as irrigation streams and reservoirs. In these cases they must be removed to prevent damage to the irrigation system. Some complaints have been received re-ceived from Iron County on beaver bea-ver making their homes in undesirable un-desirable places. These will have to be removed and I would like to encourage a local trapper to harvest these animals for their pelts. In Utah the license to trap for fur-bearers Is $6.00 a year. In addition ad-dition to beaver the trapper Is also entitled to trap mink and martin. I would appreciate an interested in-terested person contacting me at Parowan or the Regional Office and I will be happy to designate the damage areas and lend whatever other assistance I am able U.. Fingerling Plant In Newcastle Reservoir Last fall's fingerling plant of rainbow In Newcastle Reservoi' was sampled by. Regional fisheries fish-eries supervisor last week. The fish show a fair rate of growth and will provide excellent fishing fish-ing this coming season.
