MYRIADS
Of GrasshOppers Of Ages Past
Trapped 10 Glacier

Billings, Mont, Cor. New York SUM
Grasshoppers on ice, in ice and of
ice is the phenomenon to be found in
Grasshopper Glacier, once considered
a myth, but the existence of which as
one of the wonders of the West has
been confirmed by geologists, national
forest officials and prospectors who
have reached the upper headwaters
of the East and West Rosebud Rivers
in the Beartooth Mountains of Mon
tana.
Investigation has shown that the
myth" of Grasshopper Glacier is a
fact The grasshoppers, myriads of
them, are frozen in solid mass of
ice. Many of the specimens are as
perfect as If preserved in alcohol for
exhibition.
In the opinion of scientists who re-
Gently made first-hand study of the
tabled glacier the insects were caught
in periodic southwark flight and sue
cumbed to the cold in their attempt to
cross the mountain range. The huge
ice mass, under whose crust the grass
hoppers are buried, is virtually under
the shadow of Granite Peak, 1882
feet high, the highest in Montana.
Only recently has it's existence as a
perpetual glacier ben verified, though
as long as 40 years ago it was tradi.
tionally known in early Montana min
ing camps and mountain towns. 1t was
considered then merely fanciful tale
of pioneer prospectors and fur trappers
who had penetrated to the upper
reaches of this branch Of the rugged
Rockies.
j. c. Whitman, Deputy Supervisor OF
the Beartooth National Forest, one OF
the few men who have seen the Grass
hopper Glacier, brought back to civil
| ization a small vial containing the
nearly perfect remains of several
grasshoppers found embalmed in the
ice. These were forwarded to the
Smithsonian Institution, Washington
d. c., but unfortunately were badly
broken in transit.
The GRANTEES of Caribou County af
ford perhaps the most picturesque al
pine scenery to be found in accessi
BILE parts of the United States. The
Grasshopper Glacier, which is one of a
number discovered by the James p
Kimball survey, is thus described by
| Dr. Kimball:
From observations made during the
survey 1t was determined that grass
hoppers brought to life on the prairie
when in periodic southerly flight in a
direction toward the mountains, are
compelled by successive stages to rise
and surrhount the massive barrier oi
the mountain range. On the submits
they are combated by head winds and
frequent violent high mountain all
currents, the occasional terrific force
of which to be thoroughly appreciated
must be encountered on the submits

1t will be Clint's last luxury upon this

death cell, Williams, who is colored
and therefore loves melon, asked that
he be given a melon each day until
August 5, when the hangman would
do his duty. After consulting the
court, the sheriff granted the slayers
request. And SO the condemned man
will die happy tomorrow. Williams,

two other organizations known the Liquor Dealers

That the saloons of Chicago and other c't'es III

The Chicago Law and Order League, in 1911, found
fourteen saloons within $50 feet OF the grounos OF the
Dante School in the Nineteenth ward and nine more
met outside this area At that time there were 21o4
children attending that school 1t will be remembered
that the United Societies and the other liquor organ
cations fought the law making this a crime.
There is positive proof that the liquor interests
have formed an alliance with criminals Not long ago.
the council crime commission OF Chicago IN report
compiled on data CLEANED from the records OF the
criminal courts of the city, showed that more than
dozen saloonkeeper politicians had been instrumental
in obtaining the release from jail of awbreakers held
for crimes ranging from petty larceny to murder lhey
did this by going the bonds OF the criminals ana
thus securing their release. One saloonkeeper gave
bonds totaling $132ooo The total bonds listed IN the
cases reported amounted to 100000 and the comms-
o;on renorted that the records only portion OF
the bondsman's operations.
In fact the Liquor Dealers Protective Assoc1a-
ton. one of the organizations mentioned above was
organized for the express purpose OF preventing con-
victions under the dram shop act and boasts IN IT'S
advertisements in liquor journals that 1t has succeed

widows and orphans who have been robbed OF the sup
port of husbands and fathers by the saoon have been
deprived of their legal remedy by the liquor organi-
