A valuable reference collection of mountaineering books has been formed 

 by the New York Public Library in the main building at 476 Fifth Av- 

 enue, and we have secured the deposit of the library of the American 

 Alpine Club. The combined collection promises to become one of the 

 most important in existence. A collection of photographs and enlarge- 

 ments of mountain scenery in all parts of the world is also being made, 

 and contributions of mounted or unmounted views will be appreciatively 

 received. Le Roy Jeffers, 



General Secretary 



Through the Bureau of Associated Mountaineering Clubs our library

 in the Vaudese Alps, Our American Wonderland, Chronicles of the White 

 Mountains, Camping and Woodcraft, and A Thousand-Mile Walk to the

Beautiful Lake Chelan

 through the dusty sagebrush beside the edge of a deep canon where the 

 blue Chelan River foamed and roared below, till we reached the '■'^wn 

 of Chelan, at the foot of the lake of that name. Perhaps you have h> •'d 

 of Lake Chelan. We, being parochial New Englanders, never had. It 

 is, however, probably the most beautiful lake in America. In fact, we 

 are disposed to back it against all comers, Crater, Geneva, Como, Louise
