more interesting and beautiful than
the Columbia. Scores of rivers of good

like Seattle and Tacoma, leaders in
the world of trade. And, along the

cities. then crosses the wide mouth Of
the Columbia into Oregon at Portland,

Majestic Mountains.
At points along the highway, one

ranges, but more majestic and unusual
out alone, overlooking the whole world.
For miles and miles, visible to the
motorist, are the scores of white
crowned s~entinels of Glacier Park, and
Mt. Rainier, Mt. Shasta, Mt. Hood anil

effort at decription.
Ten Thousand Lakes.
Wholly different, yet equally attrac-
tive, in its own way, is the lake region
of Minnesota. Here are no mountains
or glaciers-but cool, inviting forests
and fish laden lakes that call to the
angler in the summer. 1t is not a coun-
try to motor through rapidly for there
is not sufficient variety to the scenery
to make that enjoyable. but it is a
country to loaf and fish in.

MOntana's Great Asset.
The Theodore Roosevelt Highway
because of its peculiarly advantageous
routing is to be selected by the United
States government as a military high
way. This matter is now under adj
visement at Washington, d. C. This,
of course, would mean that ultimately
the Federal authorities will make i
a hard surfaced highway from coast
to coast. Every Montana city and towr
upon the e route should support
this, the n great addition to our re.
