NEW HOTEL 
“Tig EpwArbD” AT PIGEON Cove 
Many tourists of the North Shore 
who have admired the natural beau- 
ties of Rockport and Pigeon Cove, 
have longed for a really up-to-date 
hotel that they might enjoy an ex- 
tended sojourn here during the sum- 
mer months. Such a hostelry Cape 
Ann is lucky to have this season when 
“The Edward”, built by Mr. Louis 
Wilson of Pittsburg, opens its doors 
to guests on June 28. 
“More home-like than hotel-like” is 
the motto of the new house and from 
the preparations already made for the 
accommodation of guests it is safe to

say that it will be carried out to the 
letter. 
The most satisfying feature about — 
‘The Edward is its ideal location close 
to the sea. ‘The roof garden 100 feet 
above the Atlantic affords one of the 
most beautiful views to be seen along 
the coast. ‘The eye can travel for a 
distance of fully 30 miles along the 
horizon. The beauty of the location 
of The Edward will be fully realized 
when the warships anchor in Rock- 
port harbor this summer, for they 
will be stationed almost directly be- 
low the hotel. 
's from its congenial surround- 
ings The Edward itself is well suited 
to the needs of summer tourists. 
Special attention has been given to 
the comfort of autoists and a fire- 
proof garage adjoins the hotel proper. 
It will house 30 machines. 
The Edward is of old Colonial arch- 
itecture, four stories high on the 
facade and five stories in the rear. It 
is steam-heated throughout, the din- 
ing and lounging rooms being equip- 
ped with indirect lighting. The build- 
ing is of fireproof construction, all of 
the materials being used by Mr. Wil- 
son at the recommendation of the fire 
commissioners. 
On the veranda of the first floor 
overlooking the sea is a series of ar- 
bors encased in glass, which will ac- 
commodate 100 people. | Shower 
baths, a barber shop, kitchen, refrig- 
erating room, grill room and children’s 
dining room are located on the first 
floor. A deep well of spring water 
with a uniform temperature of 50 de- 
grees supplies the drinking water. 
The furnishings are all of mahog- 
any. ‘The office on the second floor 
is finished in old English, the main 
lounging room being old Colonial. The 
spacious main dining room affords a 
splendid view of the ocean and guests 
may always be sure of cooling breezes. 
Adjoining the main dining room are 
private dining rooms. 
There is ample closet space in all 
‘‘And to paint these home pictures we need 
chiefly American material. We must face this 
deadly parallel:’’

The grounds of the hotel have not 
been neglected and large and well 
kept lawns with flower beds, with ar- 
tistic walls and cement work will pro- 
vide congenial surroundings. Mr. 
Wilson, the owner, has been aided 
so by nature that he will have to re- 
sort to but little artifice to make the 
site one of the most beautiful on the 
whole North Shore. The house should 
be a favorite retreat for autoists who 
choose Cape Ann for motor trips, as 
every comfort has been provided 
them. ‘The garage is ample and en- 
tirely safe for the storage of cars. 
The kitchen equipment of The Ed- 
ward is of the best and the very lat- 
est to be used in culinary line. An 
expert chef will preside over the 
kitchen. New England cooking will 
be featured. 
The house has its own private tele- 
phone switchboard and there are long 
distance telephones in every room.

SPRAYING Starts ToDAy 
The spraying necessary for the pre- 
servation of our forests. will begin 
about May 30 and continue until about 
July 6. During this period spraying 
machines will often be found in or 
near the wood roads, and persons us- 
ing these roads must be prepared to 
meet them. Also the inspectors and 
superintendents will have to go 
through the wood roads inspecting the 
work on motor cycles and two of them 
with autos. I will have the autos car- 
ry green flags marked “Moth.” I 
will also attempt to have a sign or 
flag put up at the entrance of a wood 
road where a machine is at work. 
With ten machines, however, this pre- 
caution occasionally may be neglected 
in spite of my best efforts.

you. Please don’t ask me how I be-
