We are proud of our Kindergarten. At last they are talking 
English at the Bund meetings. P. O. Young resigned as delegate 
to the Bund recently, and Dr. H. W. Hunsaker was appointed 
in his place, from the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. VVhen it 
was announced at the last meeting of Bund that Young had re- 
signed, one of Young's friends (?) lumped to his feet and ex- 
claimed, with great vehemence, "Dot's goot! Dots goot! btiU 
we live and hope to shoot another day."

CONNECTICUT LAKE'S 
£. a.c. 
6y Do1te</ //V@ - — 
From the^ Connecticut Lakes' to 
Lake Kennebago. 
The Connecticut lakes had always had the charm of 
being in the wilderness, far from civilization, and as the 
Rangeleys had also been in that mysterious somewhere 
it was deemed wise to spend the short time allowed for 
a vacation in the territory situated between the two above 
localities. This trip was found to be practicable after 
numerous correspondences and consulting maps, but no 
person was found who had made the trip. 
The trip commenced at Lowell, Mass., June 2, 1900. 
A train was taken to Boston, and on the Eastern Divi- 
sion to Portland, arriving there on time at 12:05 P. M. 
After dinner in the dining room, and a smoke, the i 
o'clock train was taken on the Maine Central for West 
Stewartstown, N. H. This is one of tlie pleasantest rides 
that can be imagined, as the scenery is ever changing. 
Sebago Lake, but a few miles from Portland, is a beau- 
tiful sheet of water, and from all accounts furnishes ex- 
cellent fishing. Through the Crawford Notch are to be 
had some of the grandest views that one can wish for. 
Snow had left most of the mountains, but on Mt. Wash- 
ington were still to be seen large patches of white, which 
were the silent reminders of the bleak winter nights, 
when thinking of the summer camps, in a warm room, is 
almost as pleasant as the camps themselves. Just beforel 
Crawford's is reached, the steep falls on the other side* 
of the notch glisten like so many jewels. Soon after 
leaving the White Mountains the train follows the Con- 
necticut River, crossing it the last time at West Stew- 
artstown, which was reached about 7 P. M. The night 
is usually spent at the West Stewartstown Hotel, but 
as that had been burning since morning, and was a mass 
of ruins, a carriage was taken to the Canaan House, 
just across the river in Vermont. Canada forms the 
northern limit of Canaan, and in fact the water used 
on the hotel table comes from a hill in Canada, but a 
few rods north of the hotel. 
There had been a heavy rain all day, and it ended in 
a disagreeable drizzle, so the evening had to be spent 
under shelter. "Ten Nights in a Bar Room," given by 
Boston talent, was extensively advertised for that even- 
ing, so with about fifty enthusiasts one act was en- 
dured, but one was sufficient to satisfy all the dramatic 
cravings of the early evening. Canaan and West Stew- 
artstown are lighted by electricity generated by water 
power, and this, taken together with a hotel heated by 
steam, gives it quite a citified appearance. About 9 
o'clock Sunday morning, in company with Mr. E. M. 
Bateman, scaler for the (ioimecticut River Lumber Co.— 
and by the way, all northern New Hampshire is owned 
by that com.pan}' — one of the finest rides was had up the 
valley of the river to the First Connecticut Lake, and 
although the elevation increases a thousand feet or more 
in the eighteen-mile drive, still there is scarcely a hill 
that a horse cannot easily trot over, awd the road is kept 
in first-class repair. The river itself is grand, and at 
one place the falls are so abrupt, and occur so fre- 
quently, that even the rivermen cannot run the river in 
their bateaus, but must be carried around by teams. 
Log jams occur among these rapids, and over half a mil- 
lion feet of logs are destroyed annually by the dynamite 
used to break up the jams. The Connecticut lakes are 
used as a reservoir to serve in dry weather, when more 
water is needed to float the logs over the various 
rapids. The rain of Saturday had raised the water in 
the lakes 18 inches, and all the brooks seemed like 
miniature rivers. At the First Lake there is a modern 
hotel, with accommodations for fifty guests. In the 
fishing season this hotel is used as a stopping place 
before proceeding to Second Lake, where the fisherman 
is more certain to get a good catch. After dinner at the 
First Lake House, an eight-mUe drive over fair roads 
brings one to the Second Lake House or Idiewild. Be- 
tween Canaan and the First Lake numerous houses are 
scattered along the road, besides the village of Pitts- 
burg, but a short way from the First Lake the houses 
disappear, and with the exception of the camps at the 
Second and Third lakes there are no signs of man, and 
with only the vast forest stretching northward. The 
fishing in the Second Lake consists principally of lake 
trout, locally known as lunge, and square-tailed or 
brook trout. While sitting on the piazza that evening 
.two fellows brought in eight lunge that weighed 27 
f pounds. Monday, June 4, was spent fishing on Second 
Lake, and the only luck that can be had is by "plug 
fishing" — that is, fishing from an anchored boat with 
live bait. Some trolling is done, but it is rather the ex- 
ception; seven lunge, four of v/hich weighed 183^ pounds,_ 
and two cusk were the result of the day's sport. It is 
quite unusual to catch cusk in the day time, as they are 
extremely logy, and bite ordinarily at night only. Owing 
to the limits of the two weeks allotted to this vacation 
trip, the Third Lake could not be visited, but this Lake 
affords excellent fly and bait fishing for brook trout 
only. 
On Tuesday, June 5, was experienced for the first time 
the feeling of being in the primeval forest, where no one 
had been for a number of years. In company with a 
guide, James O. Reynolds, the trip for Parmachenee was 
begun at 5 A. M. The first mile was across the lake. 
The morning was unusually cold, as there had been a 
hard frost during the night, but, thanks due to that cold- 
ness, not a fly or mosquito was seen that day. There 
used to be a trail to the head of Parmachenee Lake, but 
since that lake has become private grounds the trail 
has been abandoned, so with no trail and nothing but 
a general direction to guide him, Jim landed at the 
lower end of Parmachenee Lake at just the point he ex- 
pected to be at 10:40 A. M. Two stops had been made 
on the trip — one at the height of land between the Con- 
necticut and Magalloway rivers, and the other at Hamel s 
logging camp, about four miles from Parmachenee. Here 
there were two Frenchraent, who wer« keeping the camp
