few words in relation to the residents of
the Adirondacks may not be without interest to
intending visitors, for this is matter of some
importance in any region of summer homes. The

Summer homes abound and the shores Of every
lake near the more prominent centres are
studded with pretty cottages and camps, and
every year many additions are made to the num-
ber Of these permanent establishments as people
learn of the beauties and advantages of the re-
gion. The word camp is a decidedly am

does not have the advantage that it has in many
places and the owner Of the half acre domain
can have as much pleasure and sport as his
millionaire neigheor.
Although there are many summer people who
occupy their own establishments, the great ma
jority Of visitors to the Adirondacks prefer tc
go TO the hotels, where they find ample accom-
modations. and also the life and activity thai
contribute so much TO a successful outing. The
Adirondack hotels compare most favorably will

ample transportation facilities they not de
