TRAPPERS' LICENSES. 



Up to December 1st, 1,180 trappers' licenses had been issued for the 



1913-1914 season, which extends from November 1st to February 28th. Before 

 the close of the season it is probable that over 1,500 trappers' licenses will 

 be issued, which would indicate that the fur-bearing animals are of great 

 economic importance to the state, furnishing employment to a small army 

 of men for at least a portion of their time when it is lawful to trap.
