FINE COAL YEAR IN VIRGINIA.
Was Large, Prices Good, and
Mine Accidents Comparatively Few.


The production Of coal in Virginia in
1913 was s.S2s,06s short tons, valued al
SS,925,653 Virginia broke all previous
records in 1913 in the quantity OF coal
produced, according to figures by F. w
Parker, OF the United States geological
survey, in cooperation with Virginia
geological survey, and for the first time
in six years the value OF the output per
ton exceeded 81, The chapter added TO
the history Of coal mining in Virginia
by the record of 1918 il an interesting
one. The quantity of coal produced ex-
ceeded that of 1912 by 9sl ,43o short
tons, or l21a per cent, with gain in
value of 81 ,434,07T, or 10 per cent; the
quantity of coal mined by machines in
creased a little over million tons; the
average number of working days was
exceptionally large; the average produc-
tion per man reached nearly thousand
tons for the year; the bad practice of
shooting coal off the solid was reduced
to the extent OF nearly million tons,
with 1912; the number OF
fatal accidents was reduced by little
more than two.thirds; and there was
not a single strike or lockout reported.
This record bars on its face the evidence
that the year was exceptionally crafty
ing to both operators and employees.
For several years Virginia has stood
relatively high in the quantity of coal
produced by each man employed, and
1913 was no exception to the rule. The
number Of men employed in the coal
mines of the state increased from s,67s
in 1912 to o,l62 in 1913, and the average
working time from 25l days to $50. The
average production per man in 1912 was
l04 tons and in 1918 it was 963 tons The
average daily production per man was
slightly less in 1918, being 3.44 tons,
against $40 tons in 1912
The most gratifying part of the record
If 1913 was in the reduction of the num-
Der of fatal accidents. In 1912 there
we're rs men killed in the coal mines of
Virginia, according to the bureau of
mines, and in 1918 there were "a fatali-

Another automobile accident on the
main highway between Montpelier and
East Montpelier on Sunday accentuates
the demand for improvement of that
thoroughfare by widening and by laying
permanent road material The road is
in miserable shape at the present time
for all kinds of traffic, being both mar
row and filled with deep burrows of sand,
and inasmuch as it is pointed out as the
chief route between New York state and
the White mountain region, the wonder
is that more accidents do not occur. Ell
forts are being made to put the thor
oughfare in shape, but, as we have pre-
viously stated, the efforts are not COM
prehensive enough; the work should be
prosecuted on larger scale.

The Boston Traveller is right and the
Boston Globe is wrong-Vermont is not
the "farthest north" state of the Union.
1t is Maine that has such a distinction,
and even New Hampshire towers north
ward above the northern border of Yer
mont with sharp spire of land that
seems fairly to pierce a vital spot in
Canada. New Hampshire is still going
northward after Vermont has come to a
dead halt straight along its border and
Maine progresses even further into the
lower region of Canada with its irree-
ular-shaped top. Vermont has many
distinctions, but that of being "our
farthest north" state is not among them,
We surrender to New Hampshire, and
New Hampshire surrenders to Maine.

CURRENT COMMENT
Summer Baseball for College Men.

OuInIHtI pdSepdll lot SUleSe ueH
Dartmouth and Amherst are again
very insistent that their baseball play
ers shall not play on summer teams of
a professional character This
seems like an unnecessary hardship to
place upon college students who are per-
haps struggling TO make ends meet to
pay college expenses. Technically OF
course player who plays for money is a
professional, and professionals are not
supposed to play on college teams; but
it would seem wiser to adopt a new
standard OF classificatio as between
professional and amateurs than to de-
prive the college man Of the pleasure
and profit of joining a semiprofessional
summer baseball team A student might
earn S25 to $50 a week playing baseball,
while his services in another line would
not be worth over $40 or $l2 week.
The plan adopted by Brown university
is sensible one. Brunonians are al
lowed to play with teams which are not
under the national agreement. In other
words they maintain their amateur stat.
us as long as they do not play with
professional clubs where they may be
bought or sold. Brattleboro Reformer.

vermout's Hotels Multiplying.

We congratulate the Barre Times in
particular and the enterprising people
OF the Granite City in general upon the
prospects of the early contamination OF
the project to provide new hotel for
Barre. Indeed all Vermont may well re-
joice over the success of this undertake
ing. Burlington has learned that multi
plying hotel accommodations attract
people to a town as has been demon
strated over and over again in different
watering places and summer resorts. On
the other hand Maine and New Hamp-
shire and other states have discovered
that attractive hotels in different COM
munities have cumulative effect upon
the travelling public, many people being
lured to region having numerous hos
trlries, who would not be attracted by
one or two hotels alone.
Plans are already in preparation for
Barre's new hotel, the architect being
George Ii. Bartlett OF New York, who
designed the Hotel Vermont, and it is
safe to say it win be work of beauty
ii not a Joy forever, Ii its dining room
is TO accommodate between $50 and 800
guests, the projectors plainly intend to
plan for large patronage, which Is
wise policy. In these days the public
almost invariably rises TO the induce
ments held out TO il.
We hope before many years to see
hotels on Lake Champlain as numerous
in proportions as they are on Lake
George, with the islands of beautiful
Lake Chsmplain the home of large col
onies of summer visitors from the large
cities both in cottages and hotels of
more or less modest pretension, and in
iications are already multiplying that
