BOISE, Ida (UP) A program to use braver for prevention of damage totaling thousands of dollars annually from fiords in Idaho has been pro- | noun< « d suo ssful by Owen W. Mor-

The heave were becoming almost i extinct because of the ravages of illegal hunting and th destruction 1 of their natural bree ling grounds by the white mai ■< Civilization. But under a conservation program carried on with the* cooperation of the federal biological survey, soil conservation service and forestry service, th» beaver population has increased during the last five years.

Morris said.
The value of beaver from the viewpoint of conservation is $300 each, when placed in its proper place in the watershed, Morris said Idaho lias one of the largest beaver populations of any state, probably because of its many rivers and small streams, Morris said They are found generally throughout the state but mostly in the northern a.nd eastern
sections.
The beaver were found to be invaluable in North Idaho, where on meadow farms their dams hold up
sub-soil moisture and provide sub-soil
irrigation.
This i: the first year ueaver transplanting has been carried out on a large scale i.n Idaho. Washington, Oregon and Montana are reported carrying on similar experiments. Morris caught the first live beaver trapped in Idaho in 1931. near Pierce, assisted by Tom Murray and Jess Robinson, conservation lets. The beaver conservation program will gain momentum like a snowball roiling down hill. The beaver breed once :: year and have a litter of foul'

Morris said a project for management of the beaver may be worked cut under the Pitt man-Robinson act. Proiei tion of the (leaver from illegal (lapping has been more successful dining the last two years and federal i Tieials believe they have broken up a $1 000,000 illegal heaver fur ring.

SUMMONS REPUBLICANS TO NAME CONV. PLACE I , WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 (UP) Debt-free and hopeful that the 19.'!-, congressional election trend will !errl to bigger things this yesy, the Republican national committee was summoned today to meet here Feb 16 to fix the place and date of its presidential nominating convention. Chairman John D. Hamilton caller the meeting. The Democratic national committee will meet here for the same purpose Feb. 5. If it is possihlto do so, the Republicans hope 'his year to hold their nominating convention after tile majority party his decided the political question of n generation: “Will President Roosevelt be i third term candidate?'' Republican national committee rules require four months notice of the convention date so the earlie. possible G. O. P. meeting would lie June 17. Mr. Rooseveltt brought the jockeying for convention dates into the opening last November with a suggestion that il would be more economical and to the best intere ;ts of the country for presidential campaigns to be shortened He suggea'.ed delaying convention dates considerably beyond the June weeks which usually are devoted to them. Republicans indignantly repudiated the idea that a Democratic president was entitled to say when the G. O. P.
should nominate. But tl • ■ 1 -■ - tion was mixed liberally with ehir:rin that the Democrats were thirki ing of a later date. too. It Ion? has been the custom for Republicans to meet first, their aimos! unint n - j rupted majority position n the country making it of relatively little significance when the Democ ats gathered and. often, whom they cho c
