To the Top of Mount Marcy
In The Adirondacks

It is an overnight trip from New York to
Lake Placid in the Adirondacks, where one
may climb Mount Marcy, 5,344 feet, the high
est elevation in the state. An auto should
be taken to Heart or Clear Lake, where the
trail begins. At the dam one turns to the
left, and further on the Johns Brook trail
from Keene Valley is entered, which finally
reaches the summit of Marcy In addition to
most of the leading peaks of the Adirondacks,
Mount Mansfield in Vermont is visible.
trail continues down the southern side OF
Marcy, reaching the head Of upper Ausable
Lake, but it does not continue down the lakes.
1t Is possible, however, to follow the shore OF
Upper Ausable, cross the stream between II
and Lower Ausable, and then traverse the
eastern bank of the latter lake, finally arriv
ing at st. Huberts. A steep slope strewn
with fallen logs makes this route undesirable
along Lower Ausable. 1t is far nors inter
esting to descend the Johns Brook trail to
the route over Mount Haystack and the
Gothics, which leads out to St Huberts. where
an auto should be secured for Keene Valley
and return to Lake Placid.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-12

Of the New York Central, Copake Tronworks
is reached at q convenient hour. and one may
stop at the inn near the station. To the south
east a road between Washburn and Ba3hbish
mountains leads to AIander Mountain, 2243
feet high. A romantic, fern-embowered trail
winds up its tree-covered slopes. Following the
deep gorge oe Bashbish Brook to the east from
the ironworks, may continue to the trail
which aseends Mount Everett from the west.
1t is an attractive stroll to the summit, 1924
feet, which is the second highest in Massa-
chusetts. Descending a little way by the trail,
one may turn to the east and gradually work
down steep ravine through which the water
foams and tumbles. 1t is then few miles
across country to the railway at Sheffield or
to an electric line, by which one may go north
to Pittsfield for the night. In the morning
the electric car may be taken toward North
Adams, stopping at the entrance to the trail
up Mount Greylock 3,505 feet, the highest
mountain in Massachusetts. From the sum
nit observatory there is an extensive view of
wooded mountains. The descent may be varied
by dropping down the Hopper on the north
western side of Greylock. The route over the
cliffs is rather steep for one who is not
n1ountaineer, but its scenery is rewardine
Hopper Brook and Green River are then fol
lowed to the railway at Williamstown
New-York tribune., 1921-06-12

It Is then four miles into the South Basin,
where Chimney Pond is located, and two and
half miles further TO the summit by way of
a boulder slide at the head of the basin. The
more interesting route is to climb the chimney
above the pond, or to follow the trail up
Pamela Peak and traverse the knife edge above
the pond to the top of Katahdn From it's two
highest SUBMITS there is a magnificent view
vast forested region, dotted with many
lakes. 1t is about two miles across the table
land TO Hunts Trail, which descends western
spur of the peak amid gigantic boulders, and
then through the forest to spur of the Milli-
llocket tote road. York's Camp is finally
reached by road and trail, seven miles from
the summit. Ripogenus Dam and the auto
stage are about twelve miles distant by very
circuitous route One must first cross the
Sourdnahunk stream on very diIapidated
DAM and then cross the West Branch of the
Penobscot by another dam. When the water
is high this crossing must be made on log
boom, and it's not al easy matter, for the
boom is washed out at the central watergate
and at the west bank. At both Of these points
rope provides the only way of getting through
the swift current. The traverse of Mount
Katahdin offers one of the most interesting
excursions in the East, but it should not be
undertaken by the novice without guide.

berries. At last the trail rounds the forehead
of the mountain and climbs steeply upward to
the nose, which is the highest point, 4,4O7 feet.
IN storms it is scarcely possible to stand erect.
and there are thrilling glimpses into the dis
tant valleys, as the wind driven clouds open
and close in an instant, At the Summit House
one may secure delicious maple sugar, and then
leave for Smugglers Notch by the trail A
more interesting route for mountaineer is
to continue north over the chin and down to
the Lake in the Clouds. Just before reaching
the lake a precipitous brook bed offers the
shortest route into Snug ,rs Notch, but there
is no trail and one must cling to trees and vines
while he descends the slippery, moss covered
rocks. The walls Of the Notch tower over 1000
feet above the road, and giant blocks of gran
ite from the cliffs have formed cave which
one may enter. ii is ten miles by passing auto

usual approach Is by the Bangor & Aroostool
Railroad to Greenville Junction, on Moosehead
Lake, where a steamer leaves for Lily Bay
Here an automobile stage runs to Ripogenus
Dam, where one may spend the night. It is
then about twelve miles through the woods by
trail to York's Camp, on Daisy Pond, where
one is sheltered for another night. The next
day the mountain may be climbed from
the west and return made to camp. IF one
would view the more interesting eastern face
of the mountain, he must leave the Bangor G.
Aroostook at Stacyvile and shoulder his sleep
ing bag and grub. It is more than thirty miles
to the summit Of Katahdin by ancient tote
road and poor trail. At first the road leads
through the forest to a farmhouse called
Metagama, on the East Branch of the Penob-
SCOT where may cross in a canoe. At
some points the trail is not marked, and after
leaving the Wassataquoik the new route offers
only occasional blazes. At last the overgrown
tote road is rejoined and Katahdin Pond is
reached on whose shore Cushman Camp is
located This is often closed, and one may
continue to Sandy Stream Pond, twenty-four
miles, for the days tramp from Stacyville

From, Netu York to Mount

The New York section Of the Green Noun

structed trails on the attractive Wyanokie Pla-
teau in New Jersey. Prof W. S. Monroe. of 33

Of the club and who would contribute to it's
wellbeing.
To obtain glimpse Of the Green Mountains
one can leave New York of an evening and ar
rive at Waterbury, Vt, early the next morn
ing. Here week days an electric line runs
to Stowe, where one can hire an auto to Snug
glers Notch and climb Mount Mansfield bv The
trail from Barnes Camp. If one arrives on a
Sunday, or if he would enjoy fine all day
tramp on week day, an auto may be secured
at Waterbury for Nebraska Notch to the south
of Mount Mansfield 1t Is winding road that

ing at Crawford House near the head Of the
Crawford Notch With rucksack containing
provisions and sweater, he can start on the
trail leading over Mounts Clinton, Pleasant,
Franklin and Monroe, to the Appalachian hut

spruce woods there are fine views into the val
fys, and beyond the hut it is a steep climb over
the slabs to the summit of Mount Washington,
t29O feet. If one has not fingered on the way,
aaversing the northern peaks, Mounts Clay,
jefferson and Adams, to the Madison huts,
where there is welcome, food and shelter for
the night. In the morning one may descend
70 the railway at Appaachia. There are many

NEED NEW BAND STAND
In Order to Keep Up With
Increase of Members,
Band Must Have Larger
Quarters.

There is need of a larger band
stand for the organization which
the village of Eagle River sup
ports. and which has been on the
increase in membership during
the summer. AT present the
membership is so large that the
present band stand in the park
is not large enough to accom-
modate the players.
When the present structure
was built in the railroad park,
the band was of ordinary MEM
bership, and there was plenty of
room available. Now, with a
membership reaching almost
twenty-five. the quarters ara
badly congested, and some of the
players must sit upon the steps
when the weekly concerts are on.
A very good idea advanced is
the building of a larger struc-
ture for the bands quarters. And
the suggestion might not be
amiss in having it done before
the county fair and while the
concerts are still scheduled.

inclined fellow to believe that
there are no more fish to be had
in this whole region, but at that
he is in error. Right now they

landed. You can't set upon the
