\— / 2 1 Sac ^c fn^Mfmt^^i^m^^Mm^m ( 1 mmnnt iCak^, N. f . I S a town of villas, hotels and boarding houses, the principal resort of the Adirondacks, and has a cosmopolitan popu- lation of not less than 6,000 at all seasons of the year. It is situated in the geographical heart of the Adirondack Mountains; has an elevation of 1,600 feet above the level of the sea and is surrounded by irregular mountain ridges and ranges varying in heights from 2,000 to 5,000 feet and including the famous summits of Whiteface, Marcy, Mclntyre, Ampersand, Dix, Haystack, Skylight, the Gothics, Santanoni, Seward and Nipple Top in the vistas. Saranac Lake village is situated on the shores of Lake Flower and the banks of the Saranac River, with the center of the village about one and one-half miles distant from the Lower Saranac Lake. The suburbs touch Lower Saranac Lake, Moody and Colby Ponds. Connecting the lakes and ponds of the Saranac Chain is the Saranac River, affording motor boat navigation in eight lakes and making possible canoe trips of 1 00 miles. Improved state and county highway systems place Saranac Lake on the main trunk highways for automobiling in the state. Saranac Lake has paved streets, cement sidewalks, electric light, gas, sewers, mountain lake water and every sanitary ar- rangement and precaution as becomes a high class resort. There are public schools ; also private school and ample facilities for private tutoring and for musical and other education. St. Bernard's (Catholic), St. Luke's (Episcopal), Methodist Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches. Hospitals. Two national banks. One hundred business houses to supply every need. Saranac Lake is, thanks to its climate and it many resources of sport, an all-the-year-round pleasure and health resort, better and more accessible to hunters and anglers than Maine or New Brunswick, more effectual for the valetudinarian and closer at hand than Switzerland or the Western United States, combining the charms and virtues of all as a resort in Summer and Winter, together with the "something peculiarly characteristic" which has ever endeared the Adirondack region to the American heart. Delightful as are the mountains during the balmy days of July and August, there are charms quite as potent when Jack Frost reigns. Then does the sunshine delicious send its magical rays of warmth and beauty across the snow fields, and it is difficult to believe that only the night before the thermometer registered "10-below" — yes, maybe "20 or 30 below." There is a tang in the balsam air that stirs one's blood and is an incentive to active sports. There are skiing, tobogganing, skating, hockey, snow- shoeing, curling and winter picnics, which make Saranac Lake the center of winter sports in the Adirondacks. KENNETH W. GOLDTHWAITE, Publisher.
