Farmers Increase
Power in Politics
MELBOURNE, June 23. (JP)—'The
farmers are becoming a telling force
in Austrian politics. A year or so
ago they were an unorganized, fret
ful body, largely disregarded by poli
ticians, but now they are beginning
to dictate terms.
The .Nationalists who held sway
through the war years have losk
heavily in recent state elections, but
have succeeded in hanging on to ad
ministrative power by forming pacts
with the farmers. These pact gov
ern men/ts ru^e Vlictoitfa and the
Commonwealth, but a campaign re
cently launched by farmers of this
region indicates that they will take
the field on their own hook.
Although the majority of voters
are in the coast capitals, the agra
rian vote has increased out of all
proportion to its strictly rural fol
lowing. The impending issue seems
.to be a clash between the farmers
and the Labor party, which holds
power in four states. Many predict
that the next Federal government
will be composed of Labor ministers.
Farmers’ organizations have de
clared aga'inst alliance with the Na
tionalists.

EASTERNERS WELL
PLEASED WITH BEAR
HUNT AT TIN POINT
The three big game hunters from the
States, whom Andy Simons, one of
th best known guides in the Territory,
together with A1 Peel and Frank Re
velle, took into the Icingback Bay dis
trict, were extremely pleased with
the result of their trip and they
are already planning for the next
trip to Alaska, when they will go to
the Kenai region.
The Easterners, Major Evans and
Captain French, both of Davenport,
Ia„ and C. A. Barton, of Willammette,
111., reached King Cive, where they
were met by the local guides in May,
on the Pacific American Fisheries ves
sel, “Catherine D.” The party then
proceeded to Cold Bay, thence across
to the Bering Sea side. Most of the
hunting was done in Icingback Bay,
about fifty miles from King Cove, but
owing to the scarcity of bear, the par
ty moved over to Tin Point, where the
outing came to an end.
But as a reminder of the time spent
in Alaska, the members are each tak
ing back with them, bear. Captain
French bagged two; Major Evans two
and Mr. Barton proved to be the
champ with three credited to his ac
count. The bears averaged from
nine to ten feet each.

Miners Lay Crafty
Plans to Circumvent
the Beaver Colony
GOLDEN, B. C., June 23. (£>)—So
thick and industrious have beavers
become in the Winderemere Valley
that they are seriously interfering
with mining operations, according to
H. E. Perlain. of Wilmer, who is de
veloping claims on Horse Thief
Creek.
The beavers, by damming the
creek, caused water to back up into
the mine and it was some time be
fore the reason was discovered. Af
ter a search the mine workers locat
ed a beaver dam and blew it up,
but the mine immediately again fill
ed with water. Another investigat
ing party found that the destroyed
dam had been reconstructed and re
inforced in weak spots by the busy

inimals within 24 hours. Further
more, some 60 saplings, cut into usa
ble lengths, were found ready for
further work on the dam.
Officials of the British Columbia
<ame board, in an effort to overcome
:he difficulty, have suggested that
:he flume idea, evolved by the Bio
logical Survey of the United States,
be tried out on the creek. This is
the cutting of a flume ithru the beav
sr dam so that the water will not
rise above a certain point, on the
theory that Mr. Beaver pays so much
attention to his work that he never
?ives a glance upward. Though per
sistent as well as industrious, there
is a limit to a beaver’s patience and,
finding that his dam does not suc
ceed in holding the water back, he
and his crew shift to some o«ther
place and begin home-making all
over again.
Three years ago the game board
closed the season for trapping beav
er south of the Canadian Pacific Ry.
and the animals have multiplied
so rapidly that they are becoming a
nuisance.
