Wind nieiv it Hurricane nntl IIIkIi-ve-nyis Were Illoolteil l" nrlfls but All Obstacles Were Success fully Kiirnnntercd. Saturday'!" lowcrlnc clouds nnd swlrl Inu enow did not deter a pnrty of lbrr llnKtonlnns, members of the UurlltiKton ;octlotr of th tirccn Mountain club, from tonkins a trip to Mount Mansfield. And notwithstanding the heavy drifts and a wind of hurricane proportions nt "Ne braska Notch," as well as olher diffi culties encountered by the way, the trip was a success from start to HnMi. The trip to Mount Mansfield was In iplrod by the enthusiasm Hint has been nroused In the Stnto liy the Green Mountain club, an organization that leeks to nncourairc. out-of-door sport?, principally that of winter mountain climbing. Tho trip Saturday was made under the auspices of tho HurllnRton section of the State organization. Tho members of the party who made the trip were H. F. Perkins, Fred F. Hmlth, H. C. Burrows, Dr. Charles Wells, S. Ti. Moulton and C. P. CowIoa. Mr, Moul ton and Mr. Cowles recently made the ascent to tho summit of Mansfield and were therefore somewhat qualified to act as pilots. Every member of tho party was enthusiastic over the trip and all tver well satisfied that the mountains of Vermont furnish sport and plcasuro dur lnff the winter as well us In tho sum mer. mOWlM A inmRICAN'E. Tho urty left Burlington Saturday moraine at T:23 on the Uurllrm-ton and Lamoille train, arrlvliiK at Underbill about 8;3!) o'clock. On arriving at Under hlU, the party found a southeast wind comlnr; throuRh "Nebrn.Mca Notch" and sweeping over T'nrtcrhlll In a hurricane. It was sold to be the worst wind of the sen-son ther People at Vnderhill said thev did not thtnk a team could Ret throuah even to Vnnerhlll Center. One of the oldest In habitants told member1- nf the tramp Ins party thnt a man would be unable to Maud on hts feet as It rntno throimh the Notch above the Center. Phans j ad beon made by the pa'ty to mako tho ascent "by tho rldpp, but that route won! have bpen exposed to the full fury cf tho sale. Tt was decided, therefore, to take the rccular trail up the west side of the mountain past the tho half way house, as It was thought this would be protected from the pale by the rirtce running down from the forehead. Tho mountain at this point, however, has generally been thought to be too steep for snow-shoelw; and the snows were found too deep to walk through without snowsr.oos. The party finally tie elded to take the trail to the half wav house and at least bavo the pleasure rf a day's outing In the woods, even though they should not Ret as far as the top of the mountain. STAINED rN A DM FT. It took somo urirlmr on the part of the i rrampinK party to pot Mr. Lincoln, Ihe hotel keeper, to brim? out a rlc but the persistence of tho members was finally swarded and tho party set out. Hoforc 7oltiR far, the sleds stopped short, stuck in a drift of snow that had been parked down hard by the wind. The sled and teams were finally extricated with the jsslstanee of the members of the party. Beyond th Center the drifts became frequent and several were conquered only when the members of the party turned out and broke .1 path ahetd of the teams. Miout a mile bevond the Center, a drift was encountered that all airreed was Impassable by a team. The driver turned his horses around and the members of the party put on their snnwshoes and went abend. LUNCH IN thf: SNOW. A tramp of two and one-half mile' brought the party to the half way house, about 12:30 o'clock. As expected, there was no wind on that part of the moun tain. The members of the party found that the heavr wetfjht of snow had broken down the roof of the house and foroed out one side. One of the partv too off his snowshoei, and dusr down to tho eprlns. Lunch was eaten at this point Leaving the half way house about one o'clock, ths party followed the regular trail for a quarter of a mile and then lost It. Tho party then struck throush th woods toward the south, continually forcing; tliir way upward as well as they could. At 8:80 o'clock the party found them sehw on top of the mountain out on the "forehead" near the "nose." OAuVB rtAfllNO AT SUMMIT. A gale was blotting fiercely itcrors the summit. The clouds were 10 thick that no view of tho mountain could be had. Tho email crub balsams on tho summit ware burled deep In the mow and th taller trooo ware very heavily laden with lea nd snow. Many limbs had been brotasn off with the weight of the snow tend Ice, and In many places small trees had been broken off short by the wind. At four o'clock the party tinned back. On the return, members of tho party oftou eat on the snnwHhoen and wild over the snow. One member of the party came to grief and furnished considerable 'ijnnsement for the others. He took off his. snowshoe.s, thinking ho could net down across tho crust of the Hummlt, when he broke through and was burled clear to his shoulders beside a balsam tree. The party r.alked back to I'ndeihlll Center, arriving there at C:W, whern they found a team waiting to take them to VndwThlll. They reached tho latter plue-o nt and there, oh .b y. found a hot bJpper awaiting them. The return w.ij made after supper. ANOTIIlUt TRIP PI. ANN HI I.

The Ciilrtlonlan Sennttir Snjs Loyally lo Constituents Does Not Wnrrnnt the Perpetration of nil lulus, tire. (From tire St. Johnsbtlry Republican. 1 About the last thing the I.eglslnture of 19in dlil before adjourning Sunday morn ing was to do nothing with the Brattle boro railroad bill. The bill passed the House, but when It passed the Senate, It was with amendments which the Houc In turn failed to accept. A conference committee fnlled to adjust matters and the matter failed to be decided and was left ns unfinished business when thf Leg islature took Its final adjournment. As a member of the Senate special com mlttte In chargo of this measure, Senator Porter took n lending part In Its consid eration. His action has been severely rritlclsttl or warmlv rommondd depend ing whether the view point was from the Central Vermont or Boston Maine end of It. Believing that our renders are Inter ested, not only In the history of the tight, hut alco Sotrntnr Portet'" nttltude toward It, tho Hepuhllonn asked the Caledonia senator to say something about It, which ho kindly consented to do. Senator Por ter says: "Mr. Fdltor: The railroad legislative fight Is now a mutter of history. Dur ing that corite't 1 was repeatedly urged to support th" original measure nnd fre quently nskid why I should advocate the claims of the Central Vermont railroad as against the bill of the Boston A- Maine. '-'Ince adjournment of Legislature further Inquiries have been made asking for ex planation of the situation nnd a brief statement may be of public Interest. "It should be remembered that the Bos ton .t Malm- railroad controls and oper ates many subsidiary roads and Is at present In turn controlled by the New York, New Haven and Hartford. The Central Vermont railroad has similar re lations with many small ro:ids and Is conn olle.l by the Orml Trunk. "I shall not dwell upon provloiiR clnsh es between thee two systems nor In gen eral to matters In dispute. When refer ence Is made to the Huston & Maine or to the Central Vermont It will Include the subsidiary roads. The entlr" trouble cen ters In the railroad yard In Ilrattleboro owned bv the Central Vermont.

The ltoston Maine has but one track from tho norrh entering P.rnttleboro, but contemplates mnking that a double ttnek and desires double tracks from Hrnttlehoro to Kotrt'r Vernon. The Hoston & Maine can under existing lav take land of double tracks from Houth Vernon within about a mile of the station In lirattleboro. It deslffis to take a strip of land from the heart of the Central Vermont railroad yard f c r Its tracks and to have title thereto.
