Birdie PATHS AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
DIR. Webb Is now having extensive improvements
made to this forest estate Of his. bride path OF
twenty miles In length is under construction This
path runs northwesterly 10 Gul Lake, westerly IN
Crooked Lake. southwesterly TO Little Rapids thence
to Ne-ha sd-ne Lake, and back TO Lake Lila. Dr.
Webb and his wife both like horseback riding and
expect to emily greatly this long ride through the
woods Already DIR. Webb has had constructed a
bride path 10 the summit of Bald Mountain, which
overiooks Lake Lila. This was constructed for the
especial OF Mrs. Webb, who liked TO enjoy fire.

the Fowth OF July the writer from the summit Of this
mountain saw Blue Mountain thiry,fv miles to the
eastward; Mount Marcy, fifty miles to the northeast
Mcintyre, forty miles TO the northward, and Seward
thirty miles 10 the northwesward These include
the biggest peaks In the Adrondacks.
still another H. provoment which Dr. Webb is max

fence is to have some means Of OBTAINING within the
limits Of Nehasane Park varieties OF deer which he

Webb himself has been vgilant to protect his forest
property from fires and thus HIS ownership Of II has
been a great benefit to the State. Moreover, under
his orders the railroad employees OF the Adirondack and
St. Lawrence have been careful TO gard against tires

operation Of the road. DR.. Webb Is not exclusive in
his ownership OF the great strip OF Adirondack prop
ery described. Already the administrator Of Ne-ha-
sa ne Park has issued over 500 permits to persons
who desired 10 make camps upon some lake within
the park. Nothing Is asked for these permits ex.
ccpt promise that strict precautions shall be taken
against forest fires.
