JAY PEAK.

A little south of the Canada line, in
the west spur of the Y of the Green
Mountains. lies Jay Peak, rising 4,018
feet above sea level and about $500
feet above the valleys at the base,
nearly as high above the surrounding
country as the Rockies, when it is
considered that their base is from
1000 to 1000 feet above sea level.
The mountain lies in the towns of
Westtield and Jay, the highest point
being in Westfeld, and is the domi-
nant feature of the landscape in a
large territory. The foot of the noun
tain is two miles from the little ham,
let of Jay, which is four miles from
North Troy, the nearest railway sta
tion, where there is a good hotel, the
Frontier House., with motor cars and
livery. Mansonville, P O., is six
miles from Jay. In former years,
when the big hotel was running, New
port was the starting point for the
sixteen mile drive to the mountain.
One can motor nearly. if not quite, to
the base of the mountain as the main
highways are in first-class condition.
At di fferent times there has been a
hotel at the foot of the mountain, at
present only a shanty at the point
where teams are left in barn by the
side of the road.
The trail is considered an easy one
to follow until the rocks near the sum-
nit are reached. Formerly the path
was kept in such condition that saddle
horses were used for more than mile
of the ascent but brush grows incredi-
bly, fast, rolling stones are washed in
by every rain and fallen tree-trunks
are now to be detoured or surmounted.
according to Individual temperament,
while lumber shutes are sometimes
confused with the trail. The deep
woods still retain much virgin timber
in spite of millions of feet annually
cut, and with judicious handling,
you'd exist for ages to come. They
are carpeted with vines, wild flowers,
mosses and ferns, with here and there
rivulet and rill, and large brooks once
filled with the finest trout About
half way up, on the left, is a clear,
cool spring, whose pure waters would
make vast fortune if bottled.
The last ninety rods of the ascent are
up bare, precipitous rocks. Large, pro-
jecting rocks alternate with narrow
shelving but taken slowly the weakest

man who might be termed a special
star. Special mention might be made
of the base work. There was plen-
ty of sliding, rolling, carrying and
walking, and at the end of six innings
everyone, except the spectators, de-
clared they had had enough and called
the game, the score standing II to
mine I'M favor of the fats. 1t is said
that Mr.. Warner has been approached

the report.

vour contest?" wanted to know one of
the contestants to day. 4 want to
see the list and get the satisfaction

The contest editor scratched his
head and replied that her curiosity
would not soon be satisfied, 'for. -
said he, 1--WE are arranging to print
the names in our next issue. But you
want to get busy good and proper be-
fore that day comes. If you make a
good showing, or. perchance lead the
field, it viii. encourage others to work
for you and will encourage you your
self. If you have sized up the prize
list and decided that you will take
for yours the Brush auto now is the
time to get busy. -
A candidate who makes her candi-
dacy matter of business and works
rat it in business way has never been
known to fail as prize winner.
If you depend altogether on your
friends doing the work without your
soliciting them, you are not going to
get the auto. But if you determine
that inasmuch as you have gone into
this thing you will be winner. you
will do the winning all right.
THINK OF THE PRIZES.
If yousare hesitating about enter
ing. think of what you can gain by
working. The $500.00 Brush automo-

we wish our candidates to get nothing

pains have been exercised in the Sc
