AN IDEAL TOWNSHIP.
Nature made whore 81, ANTHONY is
located an ideal townsItc and the
founders Of the city were not glow
10 take advantage OF the location. II
IS said OF st. Anthony that 80 mark
cd were the advantages that tho city
was made the county seat OF Fremont
county when ;here were but two build
lngs in the town, with no settlement
" any consequences within 10 miles
The fact was appreciated, however
that the magnificent stretch Of coun-
try IN all objections. Of which she was
tho geographical center, the perfect
drainage, the natural water power, a
soil which never gets muddy, the sur
passing beauty Of the river, all pre-
snted an array OF advantage which
could not be surpassed. and Of them
selves were sufficient to insure the
building OF thriving city
DIVIDED by SNAKE RIVER
Tho north fork Of Snake river runs
through the center Of ST. Anthony and
on the main street, running north and
south, is spanned by G0-foot bridge,
beneath which the turbulent stream
incessantly surgcs and tosscs and
secthes ana bolls in forcing lis passage
through a narrow channel Imme-
diately below the bridge the river
spreaCs out to a width Of 500 feet Of
pure, sparkling mountain water an
cxp6nse Of rapids beautiful to behold.
Within the city limits. and within a
distance Of less than half mile. the
river falls 30 feet. aud can easily and
nj comparatively small expense be
made to generate almost exhaustless
power, which, sooner or later will
be used in furnishing power for in
dustries Of various kinds.
The land on both sides slopes gently
toward tho river and down the stream
from east to west furnishing an ideal
drainage and insurlns the best of
health. Typhoid fever and other dis
cases which originate In impure water
and imperfect drainage are almost
unknown IN st. Anthony

NATURE PAVED ST. ANTHONY.
The soIl is Il composite of
lava, ash. sand and gravel, which
permit the water to freely per-
colate ana escape. and with the
inatural surface drainage, make mud al-
most unknown. Evidences OF the heay-
lest rainfall entirely disappear within
"a few hours. The city is not a sand
toank through which travel is difficult,
mut the soil IL hard ana firm, and Of
sfuch a nature that with very little
