MOUNTAINS OF MONTANA.
Story Which Has Long Been consld-
cred to Be Myth Found Correct,
and Explanation Is Made by
Scientists.

Grasshopper glacier, once considered
a myth, but the existence of which as
one Of the wonders of the West has
been confirmed by biologists, natural
forest officials and prospectors who
have reached the upper headwaters OF.
the East and West Rosebud rivers IN
the Beartooth mountains of Montana,
Investigation has shown that the
myth" of Grasshopper glacier is
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 exhibit
ton.
In the opinion of scientists who re-
Gently made a first-hand study of the
fabled glacier the insects we're caught
in a 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
.grasshoppers are buried, is virtually
under the shadow of Granite peak,
1882 feet high, the highest in Mon
tana.
Only recently has It's existence as a
perpetual glacier been 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.
]. G. Witham, deputy supervisor Of
the Beartooth national forest, one of
the few men who have seen the Grass
hopper glacier, brought back to civil
lization a small vial containing the
nearly perfect remains of several
grasshoppers found embalmed in the
ice. These were forwarded to the
Smithsonian institution, Washington,
but unfortunately were badly broken

pine scenery to be found in accessible
parts of the United States. The Grass
hopper glacier, which is one Of num-
ber discovered by the James P. Kim
ball survey, is thus described by Doc
tor Kimball:
From observations made during the
survey it was determined that grass
hoppers brought to life on the prairie,
when in periodic southerly flight in
direction toward the mountains, are
compelled by successive stages to rise
and surmount the massive barrier Of
the mountain range. On the SUBMITS
they are combated by head winds and
frequent violent high mountain air
currents, the occasional terrific force
Of which to be thoroughly appreciated
must be encountered on the SUBMITS
of the range.
Such portions Of the grasshopper
flights as are so unfortunate as to be
compelled to settle on the glaciers in
order to seek shelter from the oppos-
ing insurmountable winds become
chilled by contact with the snow and
Ice surface of the glacier and are
overcome, remaining unable to rise

RAPS POLICE witnessed the
first strike at the Herzog factory, and
must say the brave policemen did
what the capitalist and the kangaroo
courts say is the law:
Picture a patrol standing in front
of said factory, and a number Of
brave policemen loading in girls.
Then picture one of the policemen
holding a young fellow while another
comes I'D and hits him in the face.
And that's what the honorable chief
allows his men to do. The honor
able Judges ears are deaf to anything
that is not capitaIistic.
The girls were escorted by the po-
lice to the top step Of the patrol
There the strong arm gave them a
shove. Yet these same girls are the
| flower of the country. They are the
mothers of the coming generation.
AS moved among the strikers 1
could see they were Of foreign
tongue. But they had the spirit of '76,
which is now considered joke in the

may not wish to give attention to
poultry, but this is exceptional. In
most cases farmers keep chickens and,
they wish to make this interest larger

farms who aim at a well balanced
program can hardly afford to neglect
poultry raising, for very small space
is required to conduct chicken bust

and summer. An acre for buildings
and yard and two acres for range is

and meat worth $500 to $1,000 year.
Nearly all the feed required can be
grown on the little farm without

To make a. success with poultry,
breeding stock must be selected from
hardy and prolific fowls, culling out
all that do not belong to good egg pro-
