The Rangeley Lakes region Is a de-
lightful resort for sport,meu almost any
season Of the year, and now that it cat
be reached by rail at Two points Range
ley and Bernis, it IS easily accessible.
We are unable to 90 into details Of the
attractions OF the many points Of inter
est and will therefore forbear particu-
lar mention of any one Of them. The
places of resort along the shores are
called Camps Some Of them are ex-
tensye, all Of them comfortable and d
good number Of the private establish
ments Of wealthy men from cities are
unique in design aud elegant in appoint
ments. The scenery about these ex-
tensye lakes is magnificent. the views Of
lake, forest. hill. and mountains sur
passingly beautiful,
The greater part of the shores of these
lakes, excepting the upper Rangeley,
belong TO Coc u Pingree, wealthy land
owners, and they allow no settlers on
the property. No man can buy foot of
the territory. They lease the sites Of
camps at good smart rental giving
but a years lease at one time. Every
cord of wood used aud stick of timber
cut, have to be paid for. This has the
tendency to keep these forests green and
without breaks. beside lessons the risk
from fires. This region has not been cut
Tor spruce much of late. The water
power interest own the right to flow
these lakes and hold the water fer use
during the dry seasons and thereby pre-
serve the even flow of the Androscoggin
river throughout the year. 1t is said
the corporation controlling these waters
paid the proprietors more thaE a third
Of million dollars to secure the right OF
floWage. There are three dams built at
great expense, and they are worth all
they cost. They are designated as
Upper Dam, Middle Dam and
"Lower Dam. The upper elevates the
whole surface of he Rangeley lakes.

aud the lower that of the Gmbagog Lake

obtuse can readily see that these magni-
lieent reservoirs are of immense mpor-
lance to the thousands of water wheel,
along the Androseoggin river.
