Mount Washington. An up-to-da'e
structure of stone, steel and glass will
go up on the summit, having one hun

will be reached by an electric road which
will wander, at a comparatively easy
grade, over the slopes Of Washington

ridges Of Jefferson, and on as far north
az a spur OF Adams. At the same time
the Appalachian Mountain Club will aid
in subduing the wilderness by the actual
