Miss Ethel Horton writes from Wat
kins Glen, N. Y, saying that she and
her mother will be at home soon. Miss
Horton says the New York resort is
the prettiest place she has yet seen,
and that the New York people are
justly proud of it. There is state
park at Watkins Glen, with splendid
improvements and accommodations.
There are a number of falls there, in
teresting rock formations and beauti-
full vegetation.
George Carpenter and others are in
strumental in piping the water from
the spring at the rear Of the old Cliff
house site at the lake to the cottages
on the north side of the railroad track.
Donations have been made and the
cottagers will assist in laying the pipe.
The distance is about 1900 feet and
there will be no little perspiring when
Baraboo business men swing the pick
and shovel The pipe will not be
placed below frost line and will be
drained at the close of each season.
There are so many cottagers on the
north shore of the lake that the state
is receiving quite revenue from the
rentals, ten dollars being charged for
each location. Mr.. Carpenter was one
of those who worked theoretically for
the establishment of the state park,
enjoyed by thousands at this season
of the year. =.
