	Dr. Walter B. James of New York, who last year purchased the Schlessinger camp on the Upper St. Regis Lake, also prefers to sleep in a tent or an open camp. One of the features of the James camp last Summer was a tent of the shape and size of an Indian tepee, and here Dr. James slept at the side of a camp fire throughout the Summer.		Dr. Walter B.

One of the features of the James camp last Summer was a tent of the shape and size of an Indian tepee, and here Dr. James slept at the side of a camp fire throughout the Summer.

	Dr. James's neighbors on the east are Col. Jacob C. R. Peabody of Boston and Whitelaw Reid, while on the west is the camp of E. H. Coates. Last Autumn Dr. James began to rebuild the cabins formerly occupied by Mr. Schlessinger. Dr. James designed the buildings himself, and they are distinctive among the confusion of shingle-sided buildings which are in course of construction in the mountains this year. The main building of the new James camp is a story and a half in height. The construction is of logs to a height of about eight feet above the ground, and thence to the roof the exterior is thatched with cedar bark shingles. In the interior, in the doors and in the exterior stairway of the Winter cabin, Dr. James has used silvered old boards, which are nothing less than the unpainted, rough, unfinished, weather-beaten boards commonly seen in farm buildings and fences in remote localities. To secure these boards it was necessary to tear down several barns belonging to farmers and to replace the farm buildings with comparatively modern structures, it will readily be appreciated that the cost of these silvered old boards is considerably more than that of the finest white pine, but they were desired above all other timber to give the cabin the appearance of a rustic building- constructed some time ago.
