House and Garden 
capacity of 115,000 gallons. This 
is located on the mountainside 
one hundred feet above the 
lodge. The buildings are equip¬ 
ped with fire lines, with hose 
and reel on each floor. The 
sewage is admirably taken care 
of by means of two water-tight 
cisterns, the first of which retains 
the solid matter, while the liquid 
overflows into the second and 
then filters through a large sand 
bed, from which it is carried 
some eighty feet into the lake. 
The logs for the various build¬ 
ings were cut from the surround¬ 
ing forests, each one selected with 
great care as to size, and more 
particularly as to location, not 
more than one tree being taken 
from any one spot, so that its 
loss would not he noticed from 
ONE OF THE BEDROOMS 
with a shelter, rustic seats and diving float. 1 he 
stable, a log cabin for the resident guide and his 
family, a reservoir, a pump-house, a large wood-shed 
and the sewage disposal tanks and filtration beds, 
complete the equipment adjoining the lodge, while 
at a distance of half a mile, just at the head of the 
trout brook stands the curling rink, for use when 
other sports fail to amuse. 
The strictly modern camp of to-day offers as much 
attraction in mid-winter as in summer, and this 
camp was therefore designed to give comfort to its 
owner in the coldest of winter 
weather. To this end the walls 
were sheathed with seven-eighths 
inch boards inside the logs, 
which were then covered with 
heavy building paper before 
the paneling was put in place, 
and double sash provided for 
all windows. Equal care was 
taken in protecting the plumb¬ 
ing pipes, so that the system 
can be turned on and used 
for a mid-winter outing. The 
buildings are lighted by gas 
supplied from an acetylene 
generator which is located in 
a cement cistern 200 feet from 
the buildings and placed below 
ground to prevent freezing. 
The water supply is pumped 
up from the lake by a five horse 
power gasolene engine into a 
cement reservoir having a the rustic passage connecting main lodge and dining-room 
the lake. The stone for the 
foundations, chimneys, etc. was 
all quarried from the mountainside in out-of-the-way 
places. Building in such remote places is often at¬ 
tended with difficulties. For instance, in order to get 
the finished materials such as sash, doors, flooring, 
plumbing supplies, etc. to the site conveniently it was 
necessary to carry them over the snow and ice the 
winter before the operations were begun, and during 
the season of construction the contractor was required 
to erect a temporary camp consisting of a kitchen, 
dining-room and sleeping quarters to accommodate 
the forty or more mechanics employed.
