FACTS ABOUT
GLACIER

nRINNELL GLACIER, that
VI huge body Of living ice
high in the mountains against
the Garden Wall Of the Rockies,
and visible from any Glacier
hotel, is yearly attracting more
and more attention from the
visitors to Glacier National Park,
according to the records OF sad
die horse parties making the
ascent.
During the 1926 season. during
which Hans Reiss, the Swedish
Alpine guide was first placed in
charge OF parties desiring to
make the trip up to and upon
the glacier, 900 tourists made the
trip, while during the present
season, 1000 tourists made the
climb.
The trip from the hotel to the
glacier is one of the most beauti-
full scenic trips in the park, ne
cessitating a horseback ride Of z
miles through the valley back of
the hotel and up the mountain
side with three lakes brought
into view as the trail ascends-
Lake McDermott, then Lake Jo-
sephine, and finally GrinneH
Lake, nesting at the foot of the
cliffs over which the water from
the glacier dashes in a series OF
cascades for hundreds Of feet.
From the end of the horse trail
a. walk of two miles is required
to reach the surface of the
glacier, where the tourists are
escorted for a period of about
two and a half hours by the
guide, who takes them to all
points Of interest along and
around the great crevasses which
in some instances are 10 feet IN
width and with depth or 40 or
more feet.
These crevasses are changing
from season to season, as the Ice
moves forward over the uneven
surface of the underlying rock at
a rate of about IL feet per year.
The ice caves which are to be seen
from time to time under the lower
edge of the glacier. appear and dis.
appear almost from day to day
as the movement and melting of
the Ice creates and likewise de-
stroys them.
At the present time, after ages
of recession, the main glacier
measures about Ia miles in
length with a depth from the face
to the great rock wall in the
rear of about half a mile. While
the glacier is known as a living
glacier and moves forward at
rate of 10 feet per year. the recess.
sion from melting Is far more
rapid and during the heated por.
ton of the present season, the
face of the glacier receded II
yards in the space of one month.

That I shall not have to eat

That the sound of my latch.

That have been strong, wary

or p OIL n thoughts
Are these women who stand at
their windows and whisper and
peer and gossip and sneer, bad
women? Are they fundamentally
cruel and vicious? They are not.
They are good wives, devoted
mothers. kind neighbors. America
knows no better home.makers.
Then are these three young
girls whom they criticise young
outlaws who are disgracing a
sweet. wholesome neighborhood?
They are not. They are hard
working, wholesome, n a ppy
youngsters. beloved by their fam
lilies and really liked by the very
came women who criticise them.
These matronly critics haven't
thing against Alyce, Lydia or
Jane. If these three young girls
were i'll or in grief they would
go to any length to help them.
Or If any outsider criticised them,
they would band together in
furious defense.
Then why on earth do they In.
dulge in this constant carplng
chorus?
Largely jealousy. Inc jealousy
of house bound women for those
who are seemingly free. Yet. as
q matter Of fact. any woman on
that street has an easier day than
Alyce. Lydia and Jane. Every
afternoon sees these home women
puttering in the gardens or VISIT
ing over the fence.
Always they can "lie down Tor
a spell" If they do not feel fit. or
ask neighbor to mind young
Benny while they run over 10
mama's for an hour. Yet watch
ing these three young girls so
down the street, clad in their
fresh, simple, smart clothes. they
are filled with sincere bitterness
at their own hard lot. They look
at their own crumpled clothes and
muddy compilations and thihk
how it Is that the wives oA
mothers OF the world should have
such shabby lolts while careless
young girls get the.bright glances
of adn4ra ton from S:15 husbands.
So. although there is no real
malice in their hearts. a little
venomous sneer forms on their
idle tongues and a whisper goes
down the street.

Roger Booth, an employee of
the Valley Market, proved himself
the hero of the occasion last Fri
day morning in a fire at the E.
E. Strand home. An oil stove,
which Mrs. Strand had recently
purchased secondhand, caught on
Just about the time the fire
started Booth happened in, de-
livering an order of groceries. He
grabbed the stove and threw it
out in the yard, burning one hand
as he did 50. The Strand home
was filled with smoke and the
walls of the kitchen were scorched
in places. Otherwise there was
no damage. The fire department
responded to the call but found
little to do after their arrival.
