Pictures Natures Garden Spot and Wonders Why Anyone Should Want to Go Abroad for Rest and Recreation
By ROBERT G. HIDDEN

Glacier National Park, Montana, July .-(Special.)-N wonder Louis w. Hill. executive head of the Great North ern railway system, and son of the late James J. Hill the great pioneer de- yeloper of the northwest, runs out to this beauty playground of America at frequent intervals to get rest and rec reation and gather new inspiration for his arduous duties. It Is Uncle Sam's choice playground in the rough for his millions of children, and a veritable dreamIand of landscape.
 Glacier National Park comprises over 1.50o square miles. It lies adjacent to the Blackfeet Indian reservation. where 2,500 members of once powerful tribe live, swap horses, go after big game, fish and hold spectacular ceremonies. The main range of the Rockies extends almost geographically through the cen ter of the park, and within this region lies a wealth of mountain scenery un- surpassed for grandeur and beauty on this or the European continent.
 The park is dotted with more than 250 mountain lakes, sixty glaciers, of WnlCu IoldGhlStI Sid1iCAs iJiAi5 -'NNN feet above Gunsight lake, and covering an area of nearly five miles, is the largest. Hundreds of romping streams give additional music and color to the whole region. Innumerable mountain domes and peaks pierce the clouds at attitudes ranging from 1000 to 1l,5O0 feet, most of them fed from perennial fields of snow and ice. Some of these heights have never felt the step of white man or redskin.
 CHOOSE METHOD OF TRAVEL
 The, sightseer or sportsman can choose motor cars to half dozen of the beauty spots, with comparatively modern conveniences, or follow lead and rear guides over score or more of lonesome trails around crags and precipices, penetrate dense forests of fir and cedar, skim across peaceful meadows redolent with fragrance or a thousand wild flowers, splash through roaring streams alive with five varieties of mountain trout, revel in a wealth of beauty all the way, and reach his destination with a plowmans ap- petite and woodchopper's desire to sleep. It is back to nature outing, supplying nearly any taste or 'tempera- ment.
 But the camping, trailing and trout fishing for the man seeking real vacation. That's me, Mabel all over, and three congenial companions felt likewise So we have been trailing and camping several weeks and I'll put in the balance of the summer at it.
 '.Wool sacks, sweaters and mack1- naw" as an order sounded like over doing it in late June. but we gave unanimous approval when humping over the foothills of Two Medicine lake with the mercury lowering around 5l and a sharp wind for refrigerating functions.

Will C. Egbert, insurance agent in
Aledo, recently came into posses
sion OF a deed for a piece Of prop

Aledo's force Of street cleaners
were on the job this morning haul
ing of the winters accumulation
OF debris in the business section.
Wagons and teams were brought

big horse-drawn sweeper, followed
by by men shoveling the refuse
into the dump wagons to be taken
to the city dump grounds.
