BEAVER DAMS ARE BECOMING NUMEROUS Ontario’s wild life is interesting and should be protected, but up in this sec- tion there are some of the farmers who, if they could have their way, would make short shrift of the beaver colonies that are springing up in various parts of the country. There was a big colony up around Elmwood that got quite a write-up about a year ago, another one near Dornoch and last fall a Durham man ran a beaver down on the roadway at Williamsford, said to have been the largest beaver seen in these parts in some years. There have been some col- onies at Wilder's Lake, and now comesi word from Bentinck that at least three , colonies have been at work there. So far, little damage has been done in this section beyond flooding some of the surrounding land, and the destruc- tion of a few poplar trees on the bark of which the animals feed. The latest beaver dams we have seen are located at the C.N.R. bridge on Camp Creek near the Stone Plant switch. Here the beavers had com- menced a dam some time this spring, but have at last apparently abandoned .--vuuv' '- but have at last apparently abandoned it, as the cuttings from the trees do not appear to have been removed at all re- cently.

On Thursday afternoon the Ritchie families of the vicinity jour- neyed to Harrison Park, Owen Sound where a pleasant few hours were spent in games and social intercourse; With the Ritchles assembled, the editor of the phronicle and wife were also pre- sent upon invitation, and the gathering together of the many members of the one family,' some of whom had not seen each other for many, many years, made one think that more of these things should be arranged. We dare say that like ourselves, every family in the land has many relatives. with whom they ‘ are not even slightly acquainted, and this is.the best way we can think of for oorrcting this error. During the al- ternoon many were the reminiscences. especially among the older people, while the younger ones had the time of their lives on the swings and playing soft- ball and other games. Lunch, of the real old picnic kind. topped ofl with liberal allowances of ice cream, was served at the supper time this being followed with further games and conversation until the darkening sky warned all and sundry it was time to disperse. Before doing so it was ,unanimously carried that another re-‘ {union be held next year, and while no committees were appointed, the enthu- siasm evinced leaves no doubt that there will be another big gathering next year. There were over 200 pre- sent on saturday, and amongst those present we glean the following from the .14 I‘A-I-nn ed by all: Grand Valleyâ€"1 son.
