The great rotaries have had hard work
to plow through the huge drifts. Snow
slides have swept down the steep
slopes, filing the cuts, burying the
tracks to a great depth, and not only
blocking all traffic but in several cases
destroying life and property. These
slides usually occur on slopes where
fire has destroyed the timber. leaving
nothing to hold the snow IN place, ac-
cording to the forestry officials, who
assert that a thrifty stand of timber
on the mountain sides is the best pos
sible safeguard against these destruc-
tive avalanches..

DEEP SNOW ON FORESTS.
Unusually Heavy Fall Likely to Cause
Much Damage in West.

According to forest service officials
the unusually heavy snowfall which
has signalized the past winter in most
of the West has materially affected
national forest business. Timber sale
receipts have decreased in some re-
gions because logging and milling
operations have been hampered BY
deep snow and exceptionally cold
weather. The same factors have given
stockmen using the national forest
ranges much concern, although as yet
there have been no severe livestock
losses reported. The foresight of the
stockmen i'll providing winter feed,
which is now generally practised,
makes a recurrence of the former i'm
mense losses very unlikely. The dam

Annual School Meeting Held Saturday
Medical Inspection Voted.

Unusual interest conferred in the |
school meeting Saturday afternoon in
the town hall and there was a much |
larger attendance than ordinarily, a
large majority of those present being |
women who at this meeting enjoy |
equal rights with the men in the privi-
lege of voting.

ceedings at clock by reading the

was reelected moderator, but being I'M
able to serve the Office was rendered

unanimously reelected clerk and c. +.
keyou was reelected treasurer.
Baloting was then begun for a
member of the board of education for
term of three years to succeed Mrs
a. a. Bailey, who declined to be
candidate for reelection, because of
ill-hcalth. Mrs. Bailey has an excel
lent record of service on the board of
education and her valuable work is so
well known that further comment is
unnecessary.
There were two candidates for the
vacancy, j. w. Field and T. w. Col
/ ton. The former was elected, receiv-
| ing 100 votes and the latter $50.
The reports of the various officers
We're accepted as printed in the town
report, following which the sum of
| $3,465.3S was appropriated for the sup
port of the schools for the ensuing
/ year, in addition to $3,631, the amount
required by law. The sum of 5000
was appropriated for the purchase of
| text books and supplies, $3.50 for teach
ing music, manual training, drawing
and domestic science, and 5000 for the
purpose of paying the salaries of the
board of education and other officers
The subject of medical inspection in
the schools brought out much favor
able discussion and it was voted to
have such inspection, the sum of 5000
being appropriated for the purpose. In
the towns that adopt medical inspec.
ton in the schools the law requires
the board of education to appoint
some reputable physician as inspector
but the. parents may have their chill
dren examined by any physician they
choose provided the report is filed witt
the school authorities as prescribed in
the law.

called to the matter of adjustable seats

teams were fighting hard throughout,
and time and again the score was tied.
There were many individual stars
on the Games Hall floor last evening.
and the many spectators would cheer
as some one Of the players heayed a
pretty basket from the field or play.
The travellers starred in team work,
and their work in carrying the ball
down the floor to their basket proved
to be startling to the spectators.
Team Work of Tourists.
All of the players on the All-Star
aggregation played fast ball through
out, but their work lacked a little Of
the combination play that was espe-
cially noticed in the work of the tour

games that class them as star play

travellers was stellar. and Hackett and
Gevarder annexed all the points for

fans would like to see a number of

Bart Burke has not yet announced
who will go behind the bat for the
first two games, but it is expected
that Jimmy Riordan will be given an
opportunity to work against the
Saints or Chinese. Riordan first
played at Sacred Heart College, where
he became a star in 1911-1912. He
played in the Trolley League in 1913

he was with the, championship Ray

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.-As the
discussion concerning the status OF
an amateur goes on, it becomes more
and mere apparent that the East and
the West are not likely to agree That
the East is meddling in the affairs OF
athletes with which it is not con
cerned is the stand taken in the West.
AS lcng as an athlete receives no
compensation for participation in any
branch Of sport, the West contends ne
is fulfilling all that reasonably can
be expected, and that it is not within
the province of any athletic officials
to dictate what concerns a man S
private or business affairs.
1t is claimed that adherence to what
is called a 'gentleman'S game is all
we'll and good when it does not begin
tC~smack of class distinction which
permits of moneyed men participating
in a sport to the preclusion of those
who necessarily are obliged to accept
such positions as are offered which
will provide them a livelihood. In
the ase of an internationally known
player like Maurice Mclaughlin, it is
claimed that his reputation would aid
him quite as much to sell real estate
OF neckties as golf clubs or tennis
rackets, and it is Init natural that he
should elect to handle line in which
he is better acquainted with his
goods.
Not Fair toWorkers.
The following questions have been
brought up:
Would hundreds of men, unknown
to athletic fame, who. however, en-
gage in golf, tennis or other outdoor
sport for their own amusement. au-
tomatieally become professionals, a
condition which is considered mani
testify unfair and unreasonable under
an arbitrary ruling to be applied as
the few may see fit This also by
reason of the fact that they may be
writer's, employers or employees in
sporting goods departments. In or,
der to play with amateurs would they
have to give up their present occupa-
tons for something approved by the
athletic powers that be?
Would the proprietor of a house
selling golf goods, now unknown to
fame, who by improving his game
and who some fine day found himself
national champion, have to give
up his store and go into some other
line of business in order to defend the
title he acquired as an unknown ven
dor of sporting goods? While there
is a saving clause which excents the
