A FEW SPRING FACTS.
M1ssouLA, April II.
Recent estimations have shown the
/ that the water supply for fire and
nestle purposes in the city of Mis-.
la is unlimited.
sattlesnake creek is the original
ne piyen to a large mountain stream
source of which is about forty miles
Eth of Missoula, in the main range OF
Rockies, and from there it winds it's
y through a narrow canyon, gaining
ength and size until at the Garden
" it plunges into the Missouia river,
q thence on to the Pacific ocean. In
mad career from it's source to mouth
aashes over huge pebbles, miniature
taracts, and as it sparkles in the sun
hit. and rushes through the cool
Adows, it nowhere loses it's purity.
ON this stream and by the power of
Avity the people of Missoula derive
Bir great supply of water. Two miles
rth Of the city portion of this stream
drawn off in a covered flume which
nds around the side of the mountain
til it reaches a point about $50 feet
owe the city where it is reservoired
a distributed through the city in
Fee mains. The water is free from
kali and in such abundance (enough
supply city of 100000; and what is
greater value, supplied by gravity.
,ese facts give the city of Missoula an
vantage over many of the Montana
les, and as Helena paper stated in a
cent issue, "The water supply and
hter system of city is a matter which
at presents itself to the would-be in
stor or nonresident, and is always a
after of much Importance to a city's
ture growth and hopes Of building a
eat city"

Kidding, wild flowers are in bloom and
[e green grass is springing up every

ow in sight, but it is many miles off
the tall peaks of the Rockies, and
rves only as cool reminder of the
st winter. Building operations are in
IL blast, hundreds of men and teams

Missoula is peculiarly healthy, having
be advantages of high altitude, being
600 feet above sea level, and yet beine
heltered from the cold east winds anl
pen to the chinook winds of the Pacific
past, caused by the Japan ocean cur
