What Barre Ought to Learn.

For years this magazine has taken
every occasion to emphasize the impor-
tance of developing a building stone
trade wherever granite is quarried for
monumental purposes. A particular ap-
! plication has always been made to Barre,
where the supply of granite is so great
and quarrying presents no difficult or
expensive problems. In a review of the
granite situation at this season, the
Barre Times says: with the increas.
ing demand for monuments of Barre
granite has come also something of a
boom in the building product. Dealers
are fast realizing that Barre granite has
its possibilities for building purposes. :"
Every once in a while there is move.
ment in Barre looking toward the en-
trance of the quarries into the building
field. Speeches are made and resolutions
adopted, but the trouble is that things
rarely go further. The proper coarse
would be for some enterprising quarry
company with an adequate cutting plant
to begin figuring important granite
building jobs anywhere that freight
rates would permit. A single big granite
building, like any one of dozen erected
in New York during the past two or
three years, would open the eyes of
every Barre quarryman. Let Barre look
to its neighbor, Hardwick, and learn

ELEVATIONS IN NEW YORK.
A Partial Dictionary of Attitudes Issued
by United States Geological Sudvey.

Since 1892 the United States geologi-
cal survey in its topographic mapping
in the state of New York, has been
acting in cooperation with the state,
both contributing financially to the
work.
The latest evidence of the cooperative
work between the federal survey and
the state is bulletin 5l4 just issued by
the survey, which contains results of
spirit leveling in New York, 1905 To
1911, under the direction Of r.. b. Mar
shall, chief geographer. This bulletin
Is in reality an index to the 800 or
more permanent bench marks set by the
survey and elevations adjusted by the
coast and geodetic survey and the re-
port should be consulted by engineers,
surveyors. and those who have ocea-
sion to Use the benchmark elevations.
These elevations have been determined
by the geological survey in connection
with its topographic surveying, and they

any kind Il II may be contemplated
While the surveys topographic maps
show large number of elevations, many
of them are approximate, being stated
only to the nearest foot; in this bull
letin the elevations are given to thous-
andths of a foot. For instance, the
highest bench mark in New York noted
in the report is described as follows:
"Debruce, 81 miles south of, 1925
feet south of Lily lake, $50 feet south
of small marsh, 260 feet north of sum

In addition to these descriptions Of
datum points, the bulletin contains a
list of more than 1900 secondary eleva-
tions from records and Topographic maps
Of the United States geological survey,
including attitudes of well known sum.
mits, water surface elevations of promi-
nent lakes and other useful elevations
Such elevations are approximate only
and should not be used for accurate

Mount Marcy, the well known peak
in Essex county, is the highest point in
the state, with an elevation of 5,344
feet above mean sea level.

THIS ACT TOOK NERVE.
Fire Chief Gladding Stopped Runaway
Horses on Main Street.

Fire Chief Gladding performed stunt
out of his line of duty just before noon
day when he made a daring stop of a
runaway pair of horses on South Main
street and thus prevented their fight
down through the more crowded North
Main street. Owing to the large mum
her of people on the sidewalks and the
teams in tie street, there might have
been serious results had not Chief Glad
ding shown such nerve.
The horses were attached TO a meat
cart and were running at breakneck
speed. Directly in line of the runaways
was team driven by two elderly men.
With quick action. Chief Gladding di-
verted this team up Church stree and
out of harms way. NJ sooner had this
team reined off Main street than the
runaway steeds came along.
Standing at the intersection OF the
two streets and almost directly in front
of the city hall, Chief Gladding made
a lunge for the head of one of the fright
ened beasts while a large number Of
pedestrians stood aghast at his pluck.
But Chief Gladding's grasp was sure and
he secured a firm grip on one of the
brides Snd brought his full weight to
bear. the horse was borne down and the
other animal was obliged to slacken his
speed. 50 that eventually the entire out
fit was brought TO halt. the wagon
sliding around with the sudden hslting.
The act was about as clean-cut a per
formance a.. has been seen in Barre for

Peculiarly enough. there was only
slight damage to the outfit The har-
ness was somewhat torn. and the main
bolt on the whiilletree was snapped.
The owner of the team j. f. Martin of
was selling provisions on
South Main street at the time the
horses started to run.

22 KNOWN TO Be DEAD,

As Result of Terrific Storm Which Swept
Through Western and Northern
Pennsylvania. Reports
Are Not Complete.

Pittsburg, Sept 3.-At least p known
to be dead and IL Others belived
to have perished are the results OF a
terrific storm which swept western and
northern Pennsylvania, the Pan Handle
district of Western Virginia and sec
tion of eastern Ohio Sunday night and
early yesterday. The storm was the
most devastating in the history of the
localities mentioned. All small streams
left their banks spreading over wide
territory, while transportation facilities
in all directions from this city We're
practically put out OF commission.
The loss of life is appalling, while the
monetary loss cannot even be estimated
at this time. After 24-hour period Of
excessively hot weather, the storm broke
last evening. The steady rain caused
every stream to leave its banks. Within
short time the water had washed away
railroad banks in many places and sent
tons of earth from surrounding hills,
making all thoroughfares in the flood
zone impossible.
Latest reports from the various dis
tricts give the following table of fatal
tiles:

During the night this city experienced
the storm. The suburbs suffered severe
