As the outlet to BurntLake is quite a thoroughfare and many people are passing up and downthe stream, I would suggest that measures be taken to inform travelers,either by posting notices or in some other way, what these animals are andwhy they are there, and that they are protected by law. The Moose River colony is well located as very few people will get sofar back as that. I have mounted the beaver that was killed and it is atthe disposal of the Commission. We found that caring for and liberatingthe beaver was more expensive than was expected, and expended $208.32in the work. While we are not going to ask the Commission to bear anypart of this expense, we would not object very strenuously if they shouldinsist on doing so. I have also to report that a cow moose was seen on Granny Marsh about five miles from White Lake Station and that elk tracks have beenseen in the Moose River country. Respectfully yours, A. M. Church, Secretary.
