side.
We went up the Rattlesnake yesterday
morning, The Partner and i, and we
had day all to our
OUT OF selves in the outdoors.
DOo9S We got away from
town early and we had
the time of our livesjust doing moth
ing but enjoy the outside. The Rat
tlesnake valley is the handiest saf,i-
tarium that a city ever had. From
Greenongh park, right down In the
city, up to the lakes that nestle under
the eternal SHOWS on the hills away
back. there are health and happiness
on tap all the time. just for the TAX
ing. There are not many citiesgin the
world which arc SO blessed In this re-
sect us is MissoMla. The Rattlesnake
is just one sof the half dozen valleys
that radiate from here. each with its
individual charm, but the RattleSnalSes
is the handiest and there is none Of
the others that Is more beautiful Oh
more charming. 1t has been n favor.
ite spot for many people. 4 good many
years. but this year there are more
folks than ever who have made the
acquaintance Of this exquisite little
nook in the mountains. there are more
than ever enjoying 1t and getting the
benefit of the enjoyment. There were
picnic parties, all along the stream
YESTERDAY, and there are a good many
perlnanent SUMMER camps in the VAL
Icy. II Is as good q place as there lis
in the world TO take the outdoors cure.
And it's a great thing that SO many
folks are discovering the fact and TAX
ing advantage of It.
Nor does all the charm Of the Rattle
snake lie away up, outside Of town
From the time YOU
NEAR turn north at Green
TOWN ough park. the pleasure
or the trip begins. The
park itself. we all know. But, right
alongside the park, there is one Of the
most attractive residence districts of
the city. 1t isn't as much visited as
the south side. and perhaps its people
like K all the more for that. But YOU
don't know Missoula unless you get
acquainted with Parkside and Park
addition. Here are urban and subur-
ban homes that are delightful. There
are no more pleasing residences in
town than some of those that have
been built along the east side Of the
park. And when you get up into the
small farm district, you resolve at
once to quit city life and move out
into the quiet and beauty of this re-
gion. They are a happy and pro-
gressive lot, these farmers up the Rat
tlesnake, and they have made their
part of the world as pleasant as they
know how. IT is comfort. just to
drive past and see what a trans
formation these people have made in
the past few years. And 1t Is all SO
close to town that there is no excuse
for you or anybody else to plead ig-
norance Of the charms Of the Rattle
snake.
And the road that leads up the Rattle
snake for miles and miles Is a model
highway. It lis worth
GOOD while. just to ride over
ROAD This road. even II there
were nothing along II
to please. But the combination of
good road, good scenery and good
people is one which makes the Rattle
snake very much worth while. If you
want to get out doors and have not
much time, take a trip up the Rattle
snake and you.ll he glad. There's
gladness in every mile of the way.
