Tho ponds thus formed liao Hooded hundreds hun-dreds of acres of timber land, making a great deal of valuable lumbor quite inaccessible. In other cases good logging log-ging streams have been made useless by the diversion of a laigo volume of water fiom the regular watershed to other channels In which It Ih of no service. A demnnd will, thereforo, bo mado at the next session of the statu legislature for tho repeal of the act by which the beaver Is protected. |
