Glacier National Park, Mont.

This interesting national park may claim to be the top of the
continent, for its streams drain into Hudson Bay and the Arctic Ocean,
the Pacific Ocean, and through the Missouri and Mississippi rivers into
the Atlantic Ocean.

Notice the fact that superintendent Eakin was worried with forest
fires yet he sent a rock from his park with his good wishes.

PICKING FLOWERS ON TOP OF THE TRIPLE DIVIDE, GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

The individual plant is the counterpart of a teeming city-its millions of cells, the houses; their microscopic inhabitants, the populace. Sugar refineries,
starch factories, milkshops, perfumers' laboratories, and dyestuff estblishments are all in operation

LAKE McDERMOTT AS SEEN FROM MANY-CLACIER CAMP: THE GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

Hundreds of gigantic peaks of the Rocky Mountains crowd one upon the other through the length and breadth of Glacier Park. The richly colored
cliffs afford an excellent background for flocks of snow-white mountain goat and mountain sheep, which have been so carefully protected in this park
that these beautiful creatures, so rare elsewhere in America, are here quite common.
