THE LONG TRAIL
Construction of TWO Additional l. Lodqes
Adds to Comfort of Hikers.

burlington, July 11,-Professor VIII
5. Monroe. who returned from the
Green Mountains this week to take up
his duties as an instructor at the
summer session of the University re-
ports the addition OF two lodges on
the Long Trail which are the gift of
! himself and members Of the New
York section to the Green Mountain
club. One CT the lodges is at Glen
Ellen, in the ravine between Lincoln
| Mountain and Stark Mountain and
stark mountain, and the other is al
Cooley Glen, which is between Mount
Grant and Mount Cleveland Both
are log structures and will sleep about
ten people. They are built of peeled
white spruce logs with piazzas in
front, and equipped with pole beds.
tables, and seats. made from peeled
saplings, and fireplace and simple
cooking utensils. These two new
cabins are probably the handsomest
trail lodges in New England. The
iorty-one miles of trail built by Pro
lessor Monroe is now provided with
tive lodges, with new lodge at Mid
dlebury Gap constructed recently by
the faculty and students of Middle
bury College, which Is available for
hikers who begin the tramp over the
Monroe Skyline at Middlebury GAP.
Professor Monroe expects to erect
Two additional shelters along the line
OF his trail during the coming sum
mer-one at Allen Chamberlain Glen
and one at Cowles Cove These addi-
llonal structures will greatly facili-
tate the hiker's problem over this
part of the Long Trail The trail is
now open from Middlebury Gap north
to Smugglers' Notch, distance of 6S
miles The people connected with
| Middlebury College, anxious to have
a part in the construction Of this
great mountain path, have relieved
Professor Monroe of the part of the
trail from Middlebury Gap to the
Brandon-Ripton Pass, which he had
expected to build the present season.
| rms has enabled him to put his time
and money into lodges and shelters
ana to make needed alterations in the
part of his trail already built The
Rutland section of the Green Noun
tain club is pushing its work north in
the direction of Mount Horrid to con
meet with the Middlebury College
trail-builders, so that in the very
near future the Long Trail will be
cleared for mixers from Smugglers'
Notch south to point some miles be-
low Killington Peak in the Rutland
district
Many parties have already gone
over the Monroe Skyline Trail the
present season. Jesse p. Farr of
Lincoln, one of the trail-workers, re-
ports that more hikers have already
used the trail the present summer
than during the entire season last
year; and the traniping season has
scarcely begun Theron S. Dean, the
corresponding secretary of the Green
Mountain club, reports an exception
ally heavy correspondence with pros
pective mixers, and he anticipates eX-
tensive use of the trails by trampers
from distant parts of the country.
He has been active in his efforts to
put the Burlington section of the
Long Trail in good condition for early
use,

CATTLE MAY sTARVE
Drouth Destroys Pasturage in
Alberta.


Alberta.
Winnipeg, July 11.--Half a million
head of cattle in Southern Alberta
are on the verge of starvation and
steps on considerable scale must
be taken if they are to be saved.
Such is the report of the delegates
assembled here yesterday for the
meeting of the Canadian council Of
agriculture. The continued drought
has destroyed all feed and the coun-
ell has under advisement what relief
measures it could recommend in the
dominion government and save the
industry.
Delegates from both Alberta and
Saskatchewan were gloomy about
the crop outlook in their respective
provinces and predict hard winter
So far as the stock is concerned sug
gestions offered that if transporta-
tion is available they be taken in
northern Alberta and even so far as
the Peace river country, where
feed is plentiful, or to north Manito
ba, this province having had plenti-
full rains and its northern mixed farm
ing arrangements being capable of
supporting a large herd of stock
AS to the spring wheat crop it is
a total failure in southern Alberta
and the average yield for that prov
ince will be low. In Saskatchewan
recent rains have done much to i'm
prove the outlook. But most san
guine estimates do not go beyond a
15-bushel crop for the entire prov
incc.
In Manitoba, on the other hand,
the crop has never looked better in
the center and northern districts
where yields of as high as 40 and so
bushels to an acreage are confndent-
ly predicted. Unless unfavorable
weather conditions intervene Mani,
toba should harvest one of the best
all-round crops in her history.

adoption of resolution to obtain de-

| Pulham, Norfolk, England, July 10
The British mammoth dirigible
R-34, which recently made a success
| full fight from Scotland to America
has made an equally successful re-
turn flight. The dirigible arrived at
the air station here at 6.56 o'clock,
Greenwich mean time completing her
round trip from the British Isles to
the United States and return.
The R-34 poked her nose out of
the clouds northeast of this village
and, after circling the flying field
three times, glided gently to the
ground and 10 minutes later was
housed in the dirlgible shed. The
voyage from Long Island was with
out particular incident and was COM
pleted in approximately rs hours
Soon after daybreak 400 men sta
toned at the airdrome were aroused
from their sleep to prepare for the
ager.
Shouts from those on the field
greeted the first sight of the long
gray body low on the horizon. AS
the R-34 approached the field, she
dropped from a hight of 5000 feet to
1000 feet. The men who were to aid
the airship in landing were ordered
to their positions and waited silently
as the ship circled the field dropping
lower and lower.
When Mai G. H. Scott, her com
mander, had maneuvered the airship
into position for landing, the water
ballast was thrown overheard to
steady her and rope was thrown
from the bow The rope was grasped
by eager hands and the giant ship
moved gently across the field to the
shed where the delicate operation CT
berthing her was completed quickly
without accident
The tired. unshaven, but smiling
men who composed her crew quickly
climbed from the gondola and were
greeted warmly and with many slaps
on the back by the officers and sol
diers gathered on the field.
THE voyage home has been with
out Incident said Maj. Scott.
1--WE estimated we would make it
in from 20 to 80 hours he said.
I'VE made it in u.s. When we left
we had strong wind behind us, and
we covered the first 500 miles in
about eight hours. When we circled
over New York we could plainly see
the crowds on Broadway waving to
us as we passed, but we could not
hear them because of the noise of
the engines.
South of Newfoundland we en-
countered head winds and our prog
ress from then on was slower. We
travelled at an average hight of from
5000 to 5000 feet and found much low
clouds and fog. Once we saw moth

LAD TERRIBLY
BURNED MAY
NOT RECOVER
North Adams Boy Victim of
Explosion
WAS CARRYING GASOLINE
Eie Had Picked Up A Can of 1t Which
He Had Found and Was on
His Way Home

North Adams, July 13.-With the
upper part Of his body terribly
charred by the explosion of can of
gasolene or other inflanlmable liquid
which he had found ana was carry
ing home, Francis Mattimore, 13
years of age of Bracewell Avenue is
in the North Adams Hospital and is
not expected to live.
The accident occurred OIL The
Holden Street Bridge when Matti-
more and chum, Norman Roy, we're
walking across. The can blew up
with noise like a skyrocket almost
in Mattimore's face and in second
his clothing was in flames.
William Burns, who was crossing
the bridge, acted quickly. He
wrapped his coat about the lad and
eXtinguished the flames and gath
ering him in his arms, carried him
screaming to the office of DR. Z. e.
Russell, short distance away There
the smoldering clothing was cut off
him and it was found that the burns
extended from the top of the lads
head to his waist line.
After administering first aid the
doctor rushed the lad to the hospi-
tai in his automobile. Because of
the fact that the chest and abdomen
are terribly burned and the possible
ity that he may have inhaled smoke
OF the flames, the lad is not expected
to recover.
Roy, the boy who was with Mat
timore, was not injured, but Burns
hands were quite badly burned in
extinguishing the flames, but he re-
fused medical attention.
The lads had been playing about
in the rear of nearby shoe factory
and it is believed that the liquid
which they found was something
used in the mixing of cement which
is highly infammable.
