Among these are a large laundry,
which is near completion, where he
will install hot water plant to heat
water for the kitchen and laundry;
an electric light system is also being
installed, which will light the camp
with electricity, and run the electric
washer and mango. This will be a
big asset. large addition is being

1t is very evident from the extcn-

future, the great prospect Mr. No

the feasts they have had on trout.

The week end proposition which
Mr.. Nodine has started has taken
very favorably with the surrounding
community. The last week end
there were nine who awaited them
selves of this privilege, four being
from Skowhegan. The trout and
chicken dinners, are proving great
'nducement, coupled with the delight
full surroundings and the opportunity
to roam in the wilderness and paddle
with the twenty-four Old Town canoes
upon any of the five ponds which
surround the High Twelve Camps.

rapher; Miss Ruth lies, assistant in
the editors office, and r. 7. Patten,

brought along on top of the Buick
