HEALTH AND PLEASURE.


The Unrivalled Attractions Park County
Offers to Tourists or Invalids.
As an attractive resort for tourists Park
county can be said to have no rival in Mon
tana, and its resources in this respect are
as varied as its resources that go to make
up wealthy and prosperous community.
The tourist is indeed fortunate that he has
Park county to traverse on his trip to
Americas wonderland. While In the
National park he can but gaze at natures
wonders which he must admire, and though
surely tempted to kill the game of its
mountains, the viRilant eye of the poorly
paid guardman is ever upon him. But all
is different in Montana's own park, which
Is Park county. The bear and bison may
be found in his native haunts in the Yellow
stone mountains; the deer and elk roam at
will; the mountain lion and wolf and noun
tain sheep also live among its craggy cliffs,
pheasants, prairie chickens and grouse are
to be found in every quarter. The Yellow
stone and Boulder rivers al. famo1s

but family described with the pen. Flank
ing the valley on the east the tall, serrated
peaks of the snowy range rear their heads,

famous in this respect.
The Shields river valley is naturally one
of the most productive in the state and it
is now annually shipping thousands of
beeves and thousands of pounds of wool to
fore the settler has made of it a garden spot
and it will then add an immense quota to
the total of Montana agricultural products.
The favored section of Park county as an
agricultural region is the Yellowstone, or
Paradise valley, famed for the beauty of
its streams and the fertility of its soil.
The Yellowstone flows through the valley,
and along its east bank the Park branch
railroad traverses to the Yellowstone Park.
The farming industry in Park county is
very profitable one, because it has home
market and is distant from other agricul-
tural sections. The many mining camps
to Livingston for their supplies and
farm products find a ready market at Liv-
ingston. The holiday edition of the Liv-
ingston Enterprise, in discourse on the
beauties Of Paradise valley, has this to say:
No spot in Montana is under better
state of cultivation and settlement. As an
instance of the fertility of the soil of this
valley We might mention the fact that it is
common thing to raise 100 bushels of oats,

yield GOO bushels, onions 800 bushels, while

fact that tho abundance of water renders
good crops certainty by proper irrigation,

present, but it has valuable deposits of
mineral surrounding it, where nickel and
copper have both been found. The nature
of the ore found in this section of the
country is essentially base, arsenic and sui

into its composition. The ore bodies are
