in order to have everything ready for
the opening of the winter season. The
finishing touches are being put on the
interior of the attractive and roomy
hotel which is to be the center of the
winter colony. The long smoking and
lounging room with it's stone fireplace
and wide windows, the office, the We
randa extending across the entire front
of the building, the crows nest aloft
with the marvellous view Of the val
ley and the ocean, these are rivaled
only by the great dining room with it's
burnt wood interior and it's quaint or
namentation.
On an eminence near the hotel stands
the log cabin which has heretofore
served as the center of the camps life,
while here and there in the shade of
the great trees about the hotel are
forty frame cottages in course of con-
struction.
Burros Do the Heavy Work
When it is remembered that every
bit OF the timber for all these build
ings and for the dozen buildings be-
longing to the great solar observatory
adjoining has been brought from the
valley on the backs of the patient
burros the only surprise is that the
work was attempted at all.
There have been many delays and
the hotel which was to be opened two
or three months ago is only just near
ing completion but when the improve
ments planned for the summit park are
an accomplished fact the resort will
take on far different look from that
to which former visitors are accus-
toned
Martins camp, mile below the sum-
NIT, and Strains camp a little way
down the other side of the mountain
are still running, although preparations
indicate that their season is nearing
its end. Both have been prosperous
and popular and still have many
guests.
Extensive improvements are planned
for both of these resorts. 1t Is un-
derstood that the resort on the sum-
init will try for liberal share of the
tourists attention during the coming
season.
