C. Shelton, field worker In the de partment of oology of the State Uni versity, who has visited many a line of trnps In his travels In the Cas cades and elsewhere, and In his own trapping for the Hnlveralty'a dissect ing work nnd miiseuml 1'lne squirrels, flying squirrels and rabbits frequently Ret caught In traps set for fur-hearlnR animals. The squirrels are usually eaten by foea before the trapper Rets around. Mr. Shelton has found dead rabbits held to Hie trapa merely by pieces of skin, showing how desperate had been their struggles, to escape. One Oregon trapper when he finds live skunks In the trapa leavea them to starve rather than shoot them and take them out. Mink and marten often cut them selves loose by gnawlnR off their legs. On the south fork of the McKenzle river Mr. Shelton found a coyote'a Ipr, eaten off Just below the should er. In a trap. Three weeks later the same animal was found In another Hap. caught by Its other front Ior. A wildcat in a "toggle" trap has to stay until Its captor makes IIhui ly arrival. The "toggle" la set in a j pen. A Mr llmli with part or the brunches cut Is fastened to the tnp. and aa the animal tries to crawl away the brandies get fast and hold it. The Intervnl between visits to traps Is anywhere from two daya to two weeki. The spring pole trap makes dealli a little easier. A sapling la bent down and fastened lightly over a log. The captured animal la swung into the air when the fastening breaks and then It cannot bite Itself free. Death comes more quickly than on the Rround.

In the wire are little loops. The ring of the trap chain Is slipped over the wire. The trapped mink, otter or beaver swims for deeper water, dragging the trap. Choking, It tries to rise for air, but the wire loops hold the trap chain and Hie animal drowits. "So long as trapping Is permitted, I hen probably will be no remedy for the cruelty of It." snld Mr Shelton "Whenever possible I use the drown ing method, but often the habits of the animal require the sprlnR pole or Rround trap plan."
