number, a large kitchen and dining

good beds, each cabin has comfortable
rockers and three windows or more
according to size. The table is al
ways provided with eggs and milk, for

piled with good spring water, which
can be compared with Poland Springs;

iron pipes and runs into the kitchen.
A place every guest Is invited to Wis

trail Is had; it is worth the walk and is
all cemented The late NJ. Piel had
that piece of work done, also it was
he who had the camps built for pri-
yate use; so the camps have been
open to the public the last four years
only; the saying is What Mr.. Piel
had done, was we'll done.

Omer J. Duval proprietor, was born
in Canada, but came to Maine in his
early years where he has been known
to cook in the lumber camps. but these
last years he has looked after the
comfort of the sportsmen; he is not
:. only able to get good meal for the
hungry hunter, who comes in after
his days tramp; but can cast rod
and locate the deer as we'll as any
guide.
There is also specimen of Grace
Pond grounds that adorns the wall Of
the dining room. A large bobcat,
which one of the Duyal brothers
caught in a trap couple of years
ago on the other side of the lake;
while hunting deer he came upon
"A small doe which the cat had just
left; Mr.. Duval kenw that the cat
would return later after his prey; he
set trap, and next morning had him;
now his form is laid out on rug.
