HELEEA's HANGING GARDENS
The Montana City Has Undertaken a
Most Remarkable Park Project.

The strangeSt and most interesting
park project eve undertaken in this
country is to be founded at Helena,
Mont, where the citizens are engag-
ed in Transforming the bald slopes OF a
conical mountain which towers nearly
l,4oo feet above the city into a forest
park.
There is no spring, we'll, brook or
pond upon the bare sides or rocky sum-
mits Of this singular park; nor will it
be possible to raise water from the val
ley for the irrigation Of trees, shrubs
and flowers yet the expert foresters of
the federal bureau who spent last sum-
mel planning for the planting of the
park, are agreed that several varieties
Of evergreen trees will flourish there
without water OF attendance.
A spiral footpath has been graded
from the city to the summit OF Mount
Helena, and there an ornate pavilion
has been erected upon the highests
point Of rock, l,400 above the main
street. In the cliffs of the peak there
are two spacious natural caves, which
will be tenanted by specimens of the
native bears, lions, and other carnivora
OF these mountains. Parks inclosing
herds of deer, antelope, moose, elk and
and buffalo will beaded as the present
limits of the tract are extended upon
the desert lands which lie back OF the
mountain.
