These great rivers are fed by innumerable mountain streams 

 which with their cascades and cataracts ofifer an almost illimitable oppor-

 Mbntana's stream's that conservative electrical authorities have estimated 

 that no less than 1,000,000 horse-power can be developed within this State. 



The main range of the Rocky Mountains divides the State into two
