Can Beavers Climb Trees? Question For Naturalists The woes of the telegraph linemen are never over. Something is happen- ing all 'the time: The latest cause for wire trouble has been announced front a point on the Canadian Nationale Railways right of way about 20 miles' north of Washago, on the main trans- continental line, of :the National Sys- tem. The report received by the des- patcher on the Canadian National Telegraphs was a short one. It read: "Two juvenile huntsmen chased a bea- ver, on the C. N. R.; right of way about 20 miles north of Washagcr, which climbed a tree. The only way to get the beaver was to cut the tree down. The lads did so. It fell across the wires and crossed them until linemen reached the spot to effect a clearance." It was a short notice of trouble but it started a big argument. Naturalists claimed that a beaver is incapable of climbing a tree, unless the tree is on a decided slant, or has plenty of low limbs .up which it could' scramble, In any event, if the beaver could get up the tree, an agile boy, or man could also do so without trouble. Therefore, why bother to cut down the tree? nut the linemen who, were on the spot claim that they in- vestigated nvestigated the report and found it. correct. The main question is, "Are, beavers in Northern Ontario develop- ing kangeroo 'habits?" "Who overcomes by force, hath- ov ercome but half his foe."—Milton. t7 he who has conquered iii own coward spirit has conquered the whole outward world:" — Thomas Hughes.
