United States Geological Survey.

The "Poeahontas special map" has just
heen published BY the United States
geological survey as a part Of the top
ographic map of the United States
which is being made by the geological
survey in rectangular sections, most OF
which represent areas Of about 200
square miles each. The area shown on
the Pocahontas sheet covers portions Of
western Virginia and southeastern West
Virginia and, as the name implies, in
eiudes the famous pocahontas coal area.
The survey u the West Virginia por-

A RIDE ON AN AVALANCHE.

/ Johr Muir Calls 1t Spiritual" "Ex-
hilarating" and "Gloriously Exciting"
Few Yosemite visitors ever see snow
ayalanches, and fewer still know the
exhilaration OF riding on them. In
all my mountaineering ! have enjoyed
only one avalanche ride and the start
was so sudden and the end came so soon
| had but little time to think of the
danger that attends this sort of travel
One fine Yosemite morning, after
heavy snowfall. being eager to see as
many avalanches as possible and to get
wide views of the forest and summit
peaks in their new. white robes before
the sunshine had time to change them,
I set ont early to climb by side canon
to the top of a commanding ridge a
little over three thousand feet above
the valley On account of the loose
ness Of the snow that blocked the canon
knew the climb would require long
time, some three or four hours, as |
estimated; but it proved far more diff
ficult than / had anticipated Most of
tic way | sank waist deep in some
places almost out of sight. After spend
ing the whole day to within half an
hour or so of shutdown, | was still
several hundred feet below the sum
nit. Then my hopes were reduced to
getting up in time to see the sunset.
But was not TO get summit views of
any sort that day, for deep trampling
neai the canon head. where the snow
was strained, started an avalanche, and
was swished down to the foot of the
caEon as if by enchantment. The wal
lowing ascent had taken nearly all day
the descent only about minute. When
the avalanche started, | threw my
self on my back and spread my arms
to try TO keep from sinking. Fortu.
nately. though the grade of the canon
is very steep, it is not interrupted W
precipiees large enough to cause out
bounding or free plunging. On no part
OF the rush was | buried | was only
moderately imbedded ON the surface
or at times a little below it. and COW

meath and about me joined in the fight,
there was no friction. though | was

side to side. When the avalanche came
to rest, | found myself on top Of
the crumpled pile without bruise or
scar.
This was a fine experience. Haw-
thcrne says somewhere that steam has
splritualized travel, though unspiritual
smells. smoke. etc, still attend it. This
light in what might be called a milky
way of snow stars was the most spirit
lal and celebrating of all the modes of
motion have ever experienced. Eliiah's
light in a chariot of fire could hardly
ave been more gloriously exciting.

Mr. Lodge in his public capacity has
more than once recently put himself
on record in antagonism to ideas of
which President Roosevelt is the ex-
ponent. His address at Raleigh, n. c.,
was an exposition of the impolicy of
the initiative and referendum. He has
told us that he is opposed to the con

Columbus That is the record of SEN

comes dangerously near to being sen

With all due respect for the cordial
ity with which the senator views his old
friend, his former pupil, it may vet be
said that his position is illogical. If
Senator Lodge is opposed to the consti-

he regards them as menacing to our

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
AGREEMENT OF SALE
In Which Central Vermont Railroad Has
Important Part.

Important Part.
Concord, N. H., Feb. 2s.--The seere-
tary of state has received from New
York attorneys an agreement of con-
ditional sale of equipment between Blair
& company, the Central Vermont rail-
road and the Bankers Trust company,
trustees, the principal sum named in
the instrument being $l,094,2l0.
The agreement stipulates that the
road shall comply in all respects with
all acts of Congress- and with the laws
OF the United States, Dominion of Can
ada, the states of Vermont and New
York and Province of Quebec, and in
all other states and territories in which
the road may operate.
It's offer here is made in accordance
with chapter IS, laws of 1892, proyid-
ing for the recording of provisional
sales of equipments, and this is the
first time it has been applied to steam
roads, although some Of the smaller
electric roads of the state have filed
for record agreements for the provision
al sale of equipments in the way of
cars.
Under the agreement, the Central Yer
mont road will at once purchase large
amount of new equipment in the shape
of cars and locomotives. Blair & com
pany of New York are to furnish the
money necessary for the purpose and to
retain title until reimbursed in full by
the road.
The agreement comprises 33 closely
printed pages, and it is figured that it
is offered for record here by reason of
the proposed coming into New Hamp-
shire of the Grand Trunk road. which
at present is in control of the Vermont
corporation.

Coal Map Of the United States.

| A special aud valuable feature of the
| report on the production of coal in 1910,
| issued by the United States geological
1 survey, is a series OF maps showing the
/ known coal fields of the United States.
| These maps are printed on a scale of
about 40 miles to the inch, and if pieced
together would make a map the size
OF large 6 foot wall map issued by
the survey. The various classes of coal
areas are Indicated by a variety of col
ors. The coal fields are shown TO have
wide range, both as to character of
coal there being half a dozen grades
from anthracite to hgnite--and as to
present knowledge concerning the depos-
ite ranging all the way from the re-
suits of detailed surveys on which an
almost exact estimate of tonnage can
be based to the very general informa-
ton that the area is underlain with
coal bearing rocks which probably con-
tain coal that may or may not be found
at minable depth All this information
is portrayed on the maps by colors or
symbols.
The maps show the county suh-di-
visions in the several states and are
therefore the most exact coal maps yet
issued. Geologic work by the survey

FINAL SCORE WAS 46 TO 20
At the End of the First Period the Score

FINAL SCORE WAS 46 TO 20

Spaulding high school defeated its long
time rival Montpelier high school, last
night at basketball in the Church street
gymnasium by the score of 46 to 20.
There was the usual large crowd on hand
to root for their teams, a considerable
proportion of the crowd coming from
Montpelier. The organized roofing of
previous years was conspicuous by its
absence. AT times the excitement ram

After two weeks without scheduled
game, Spaulding started out with their
usual pace, but lack of practice showed
on them in the second period, when they
were played to an even game by the
Capital city lads. The game was fast
and the play was clean throughout. The
local team gave a fine exhibition of team
work; the passing and floor work was
of the highest order. AT basket shooting
last night Spaulding was completely off
form; not man ON the team could be
counted as sure shot. Team work on
the part of the Montpelier team was

Williams of Spaulding was the high
scorer of the evening, tossing in eight
baskets from the floor and two fouls.
He was closely followed by Stuart and
Hagan, who had five each to their credit,
The all-around work of Stuart was at all
times noticeable. Grady, Spaulding's
center, was so closely guarded that he
was unable to do a great deal Taisey,
the left forward of the Montpelier ag-
gregation, was the star performer for his
team He proved dangerous man to
allow possession of the ball, tossing in
the ball nearly every time it came his
way. Smith also played well for Mont
pelier.
Hagan intercepted a pass from n
Montpelier man Mt the very opening OF
the game and dropped in an easy basket.
Stuart followed on the jump up with a
basket from a signal. The pace the local
BOYS then set up was so fast that The
Montpelier outfit dropped by the way

basket. The score at the end of this
period was 80 to A. Montpelier was able
to connect with only a solitary basket
