1t Is the opinion of the Journal that
| nowhere in all New England is there q
| section richer in natural beauties or
| more picturesque views than Kennebec
county. 1t is important that these at
fractions which nature has bestowed
upon US with such lavish hand should
be more generally known and ap-
preciated. Nowhere in this great
country OF ours is 1t possible to find q
| territory of equal size, richer in the
varied charms that attract and hold
summer visitors. So numerous are
these that ii is not possible for any one
person TO know them all. For some
time the journal has entertained the
purpose. il sufficient encouragement
were offered the project, of issuing be-
fore the summer of 1907. special illus
tratcd edition devoted to the pic
turesque charms which make Kennebec
such an ideal section for those in
search of summer rest and recreation.
We know that among the residents OF
our county, and those who annually
spend their summer vacations within
Its limits, are many devoted lovers Of
Nature who are also skilled in the use
or the camera. We desire to enlist
the active cooperation OF these in maxi
Ing our projected Souvenir Edition q

desire to show, in half-tone reproduce
tons, the beautiful scenery OF our lakes
and hills, the charming spots along our
