BEAVERS OUTWIT RAILROAD MEN.
That beavers are hard to control was evidenced when the State Park Board of South Dakota attempted to settle several colonies' in small streams within the park. Rough dams were made and the leavers placed within the ponds provided. Not one colony remained at the place where it was planted. The beavers picked other places and other streams and built dams of thenown before they finally settled down. That they are just as determined to stay when once located has been found out by the C.B. and Q. Railway Company. A colony located in a small stream along the grade of that railway started to dig under the grade. The section crew tried blowing up their dam and then diverting the stream, only to be blocked by the beaver colony as fast as they could work. The section foreman is now trying to outguess the beaver, but- thus far he has not succeeded.
