Busy JULY SEASON AT MANY
HOTELS,
REST AND SPORT ATTRACT THRONGS
TO THE PICTURESQUE ADIRON-
DACK REGION.

Lake Placid. n. Y. July 20 GspeciaD.-Few people
realize what a large territory is covered by the
great North Woods The Adirondack region IN
cludes almost onethird OF the State an area equal
10 that Of the State Of Connecticut Neither do the
people Of the State large realize how much they
ave TO the fact that this forest is here The
Racquette River IS now being harnessed in a small
way and seven thousand horsepower developed
and were the dozens OF other rivers that flow from
the hills thus treated and the sources supply

SO that the miller has gone TO the city. where coal

Of water power are being sought after. and here.
I'D in the northeastern of the State of New
York lies waiting OF the most advantageous
ulaces of this kind that the world affords II Is
not. however. to the water power nor TO the COM
rnercial value OF the timber minerals OF the
Adirondacks that attention is given at this
of the year but rather TO the lighter aspect of the
woods as a place for sport and pleasure.
Here is place for rest and relaxation in sum-
mer: here Is a complete change OF scene and occu-
pation-a life out of doors. There about one
thousand lakes in the Adirondacks and least five
hundred mountains, which lift their heads above
the clouds. The fisherman, following up the noun
tain streams finds generous supplies of natures
lseeiving balm, S does his brother. the hunter,
tramping through the woods.
The woods in July this year especially de-
ughtful for the rains of June have given great
wealth OF rich foliage. with brightness that
rivals the green of the Emeral Isle itself The air
OF the clesrings is laden with the odor OF new
mown hay and clover. the forests are fragrant
with the sweet scent OF spruce and pine, and the
heat of the midsummer is defed by the thick
shade Of the trees and the cool breezes OF the
lakes The trout get into the deep holes where the
cold springs into brook and pond; the deer
STAY back in the woods coming at night TO the
lakes TO drink and feed upon the lily pads.
Tnere have not been many deer in the Adiron-
dacks for twenty years there are to-day. Two
things have brought this about-one the law that
no venison could be shipped TO market: the other
the purchase of large preserves where no tres
passing is allowed, and the deer go unmolested the
whole year round.
PLEASURE SEEKERS MANY.
The people knowing the pleasures OF July here
are coming In great crowds to the mountains the
stations are heaped high with luggage and the
hotels are finding their capacity taxed in order TO
take care Of the throngs. The weather thus far
