The mountains on the best side of the harbor is beginning to show forth, here and there, rich autumn colors. Surely the fairies of old are at work these nights with their brushes and paint pots, adding here and there a magic touch. These beautiful autum days, of bright sun-light seem to be particularly adapted for the gentle art of "potato digging", which now flourishes throughout the Valley. Monday Oct.2nd being the first day of the open season for moose, a large number of hunters are expected this way, who annually indulge in tracing out the Monarch of the Wilds in his forest lair. Many will be the yarns spun these nights around glowing camp fires. The work in connection with construction of the Country Harbor highway is gradually drawing to a conclusion for this season. Mr. Arthur Mason, who has been in charge of construction, is to be congratulated on the splendid piece of road completed under his supervision this season.
