The grass on the meadows along the river has been cut 
cwt over a space of about an acre near the head of Beaver Dam 
Rapid and in this little opening the sportsmen find all their 
Snipe. A man -who was beating the place this morning told me 
that he and two companions bagged seventeen Snipe there on 
September 17th. He said there were many more that escaped. 
They would rise high and fly all over the meadows but they 
always returned sooner or later and alighted again in the 
opening .
