BEAVER DOES DAMAGE IN STATE Resident of Long Pine Says Little Animal is Destroying Trees— State Treasurer Has Record Day. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb, 2.—(Speclal.)—The Ne- braska school teacher who desires a va- cation may get the time to take it by simply turning her little toes to the dal- sles and passing quietly into the great beyond. This is about the only way the little schoolmarm will find a surcease from labor during the coming year, for already the full program of work has been en- larged. From the day sshool is out until it begins the next fall there is something doing and every ddy raust be devoted by the school teacher to preparation fof the next year's work. About the only change in the work Is the change from instructor to pupll. The first part of May, when a majority of the schools have been dismissed for the summer the school “marm" must hustle to Lincoln to attsnd an Institute arranged by Superintendent Bishop and the State university hustlers. The teach- ers will be able to get back home In time to start into the county institutes which are held during the months of June, July and August. Running along at the same time will be the junior normals, which are in session from June 6 to July 26. One Bright Ray. Examinations before the county superins tendents will take up whatever time has not been engaged until school begins in September. The big gunk will get a little rest out of the summer work, for they will attend the National Bducational asso- clation meeting fn Boston. In, November the teachers are brought io Lincoln at thelr own expense to listen to #mported instructors, some of whom |are authors of well advertised text books which need more advertising, and they get to enjoy a banquet they pay for, arranged and managed by representatives of the book trui One teacher who had followed the pro- gram for about twenty years here in Lin- coln got out of it all the other day by The system is said to be not half bad for institute instructors who manage to catch up one lap with the cost of living by means of the fees secured. Beaver Damage Fores Governor Shallenberge has been asked to recommend to tho leglslature the repeal of that portion of the game law, which pro- vides a penalty for killing a beaver. From Long Pine and portions of. the northwest- ern part of the state complaints are com- ing to ‘the governor that the beaver s do- ing serfous damage to the young forests, which residents are endeavoring to culth- vate. Trees of immense size, said one re- port, are being cut down by the beaver, while one man who operates a mill by wa- ter power, said it required. half‘a day al- most every day to pull the branches, oyt of the mill race into which the beavers have piled thern. The goveron will make a thorough investigation into the matter and {t 18 “possible he will ask:the legislature o' remove the penalty for destroying the animals, i Record Day for Treasurer. Tuesday was a record day for the state treasurer in the matter of recelpts issued. The collections amounted to $106,000 In round numbers, which Deputy Treasurer Frank Brian sald was' more money than the office had ever collected in one day, at least in the present term. With no state debt, the treasurer believes he will be uble to pull up before the next legislature with- out any outstanding warrants and turn the office over to his successor with the state on a cash basis. State Its Own Butcher. 1s it cheaper for the state to do its own butchering than to buy of the packing houses is a question Land Commissicner Cowles s trying to solve. Figures bearing upon the answer *o this question were brought to Mr. Cowles resterday by H. F Bithop, steward of the asyiux at Lincuin. During the fourth quarter of 1909 the state purchased for the institution fifty beef cows, which furnished 24,625 pounds of beef, 197 pounds of hearts, 531 pounds of 131 pounds of tongues, 107 pounds of 586 pounds of tallow ard scraps. The cost $180. The hides from these cows brought $400 and the five ltems aside trom beef were worth $0, so the actual cost of the $24,625 pounds of beef was $1,380 or $.64 per hundred. Bids for beef car- cases were not invited for this institution, but at Norfolk the contract price was $5.94 and at the Soldlers’ Home at Burkett, where they also bought carcasses, the price was $5.80. So far as these figures go, said Mr. Cowles, the state gaves a small amount of money when it buys the cattle, and the officers at the asylum say that there is a t difference in the quality of the meat, the home made product being so much better than the packing house meat. Another report will be made at the close of the present quarter, March 8L Whether the higher price of cattle will show a greater or a smaller gain for home made beef will be détermiied at that time. Dur- ing the present quarter Norfolk pays # cents and Burkett 63 cents per hundred more for beef than they paid last quarter. War Anniversary.
