Dammed Near Turnpike
Beavers are operating In the
Town of Caroline again —this time
to dam the headwaters of West
Owego Creek on the line connect
Ing the Bert Eastman and Arthu-
Miner farms' just north of the Cats' 4
kill Turnpike, near the Village of
Caroline.
They bave been working In the
area since last fall, and already
have constructed a dam about 20
feet long and extending from one
side of a swamp to the other where
the water escaped through a large
steel pipe to the opposite side of
the road.
The presence of beavers In the I
swamp was tlrst discovered last 7
September by Mr. Miner, who has
resided in the vicinity only a short i
time and who is well acquainted
with beavers and their work, hav-
ing spent many years as a trapper
and lumberman In the Adlrondacks.
Just how many animals are in
the colony, Mr. Miner has been un-
able to ascertain, because they do
most of their work at night and
residents of the vicinity have not ;
desired to disturb them or their
work. This 1s a violation of the ,
Conservatlon Law, according to
Game Warden Frank Begent.
Thus far the animals have been
using only small trees and
branches, but apparently have de-
cided to add strength to the dam,
as several good-sized trees in the
swamy nearby show teeth-maiks
and probably will be felled when
the need arises. The beaver "lodge"
Is located well up In the swamp and
is visible 'through the underbrush
from the road.
Several years ago the first bea-
vers observed In this vicinity In
recent years made their appearance
in the same creek, but about two
miles east of Caroline. At that time
they attracted considerable atten-I
tion and became used to specta-
tors. They would paddle around
the water In.plain view and were
photographed by many,
