Climbing Mountains

Is a fascinating and invlgorating past
time. It develops not the body only,
but the mind. The Alpine Peaks OF
Switzerland have their counterpart in
our own country, in the Sierras, the
Cascades, and parts of the Rockies.
The greatest glacial peak of the
United States is Mt. Rainier, in Wash.
ington, more than 14,5OO feet high.
This magnificent mountain has Is or
more giant glaciers creeping down it's
sides and discharging their glacial
detritus into the Columbia river or
Puget sound.
A climb to the summit of this peak
is a mountaineering feat worthy OF
any mountaineer. For rs cents A. M.
Cleland, general passenger agent OF
the Northern Pacific railway, st. Paul,
Minn.-will send to any address an H.
Illustrated booklet called climbing
Mt. Rainer," describing a climb over
the glaciers to the top of the noun.
