Scenery. Some of the finest
views of the White Mountains are
obtained from North Conway.
Many tourists spend the summer
month in this beautiful mountain
scenery town. At North Conway
quite a village has grown up; the
dwelling houses being principally
owned by men in some of the large
cities, who remove their families
here to remain through the warm
season of the year, There are
also eight or ten large hotels and
hoarding houses, for the accom-
modation of visitors who do not
wish to live in private houses.
Every inducement is offered to
make this mountain retreat a de-
sirable location for men who have
families and do not desire their
children to be deprived of school
privileges too much. At North
Conway are good schools, a fine
academy, two or three churches,
and all such privileges as are
desired in cities, can be obtained
here, thus making it a desirable
opportunity to enjoy a fine moun-
tain scenery through the summer,
which many are improving. The
number of tourists who stop per-
manently through the summer
months, is estimated at over 2,000
besides thousands who come and
go as they pass through the moun-
tain region. There are several
manufactories at North Conway,
and eight or ten stores of various
kinds. At Conway village there
