WIDESPREAD attention to n of
w Montana's comparatively new in
w dustrles has been attracted during
the last few weeks by exhibits of recent
ly perfected zonolite products. at Los
Angeles in December and again at the
Northwestern Mining convention at
Spokane Feb. 81 10 March g.. These dis
plays were viewed by more than 100000
people and architects. building cOntrac-
tors, and experts IN many lines. rs well
as the general public. were impressed by
the tremendous possibilities OF this
product.
Zonolite. which is a coined name, was
accidentally discovery in 1916 by E. N.
Alley. a we'll known Montana mining
man. while prospecting for war metals IN
the Rainey creek district OF the koote-
lie mineral composed of silica, magnesia
and alumina, dark brown 10 black in
color, and weighing 100 pounds 10 the
cubic foot in its raw state. II looks very
much like ~phlogopite mica and was clas-
sihed as such by the United States geo
logical survey until its peculiar and dis
tinctive properties became known.
Expands With Heat
The first discovered and most unique
characteristic Of zonolite is that when.
subjected TO heat it quickly expands 10
about Is times It's original volume, with
corresponding loss in weight, and as
sumes a beautiful gold color. a piece of
the treated product looking for all the
world like a nugget Of pure gold, but
being as light as a feather.
Tests Of the substance and interviews
with Industrial leaders and chemists
having convinced Mr.. Alley that zonolite
was a valuable product, he spent a num-
Der of years acquiring land on which 1t
was found, exploring the deposit and
experimenting with treatment processes.
In 1922 he organized what IS known as
the Zonolite company and in 1924 G. l..
Emmons OF Kalispell. one of the best
known men in mining and oil circles in
the northwest II who is often spoken
of as the Father Of Northern Montana

the company. and since January, 1927.

as vice president and general manager.

and 1t stands today practically as 1t was
framed by aim. He also introduced leg
islation regulating fees in connection
with the administration of estates and a
measure to provide for the perpetual care
OF cemeteries.
MIR. Brennan was q member of the re-
publican national convention which
nominated Theodore Roosevelt for the
presidency in 1904 and was also a dele
gate TO the Chicago convention OF 1915
which nominated Charles E.. Hughes. He
enjoyed the personal friendship of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, President Mckinley and
Senator Thomas II. Carter. President
Mckinley appointed him superintendent
OF the forest reserve under the provisions
OF the forest reserve law.
He earned his soubriquet Of Tin Plate
BIZ because OF his championship Of
Mckinley and Of the Mckinley tariff
which included the protection of tin
plate. He toured the state as o cam
paign speaker. One OF his political OPP
ponents in derision sent him a minia-
ture tin plate and suggested that he
wear 1t as a watch charm.
AT that time England had a practical
monopoly OF the tin industry. MFR. Bren-
nan returned the tin plate. stating that
he would accept it n wear 1t If the

The verse was stamped on the plate
which was then returned to MIR. Bren-
nan. who proceeded to place 1t on his
watch chain-and TO become thereafter

nan" for the remainder Of his life.
During his residence in Helena he
married Miss Martha j. Allison. a native
of Eugene, Ore. One son was born to
them, Jasper Allison Brennan, who in
manhood became a stockgrower in the
Flathead. To Jasper and his wife, Stella

Tin Plate Bill"
Brennan Dies at
Kalispell Home

WI ]. BRENNAN. KalispeIl attorney
wv and pioneer in Montana politics.
W died NJ his home in Kalispell q few
days ago. He was 81 years old and had
been in Montana for about 40 years. He
was prominent in Montana politics and
had served two terms in the state senate
Mr.. Brennan had suffered O nervous
breakdown about two months ago and
had been confined to his bed ever since.
Tin Plate Bill" Brennan. as he wa af-
fectionately known 10 thousands OF Mon
tana people, came TO the territory with
the advent of The t-ranscontinental rail-
roads as a construction contractor. He
was typical of the old west and in recent
years had changed little from his early
views and manne Few men had a
larger acquaintance or frmer friendship
throughout the state.
William j. Brennan was born in 1860
at WATERFOWL, Jefferson county. New
York, a son of w. j. and Mary A. Porter
Brennan. His mother was q graduate Of
one of the first schools of telegraphy
established in the United States, receiv-
ing her diploma for efficiency in 1859.
Two years after Williams birth the
family removed TO Colorado where his
parents experienced the hardships of the
pioneers OF that early day. Among other
misfortunes their home was three times
destroyed by raiding bands of Cheyenne
and Arapahoe Indians and the members
of the family had many narrow escapes
from the scalping knife and the toma-
hawk.
Mrs. Brennan secured employment at
her vocation. being one of the first OPP
orators in Colorado. She handled the
key for the Barlow g. Sanderson stage
line on the old Pixies Peak road.
Young William attended the public
schools nf EnlOradn and lofar nrodttofad
from Washington university of st. Louis
in the law department. With his newly
acquired diploma he set out for the Pa
ci1c coast, arriving in Seattle in 1880,
when the town numbered scarce 1000
souls, and secured a position in the legal
department of the Northern Pacific rail-
way. He remained with that organiza-
ton for nine years. Deciding to engage
in private practice. he resigned his posi-
ton n went to Helena where he formed
a partnership with Dudley Dubose, a
grandson of Robert Toombs, the famous
Georgia statesman, and the man who Is
depicted in the character of Durham"
in Rex Beach's famous novel, THE
Spoilers"
Dudley Dubose. during his residence
in Montana was elected district judge
in the eastern part OF the state. The
friendship between Judge Dubose INC
Mr.. Brennan continued throughout the
life of the latter. Tin Plate Bill' re-
ferred to his old law partner as "a real
friend, a man of a true heart and a
strenuous force for law and order in
Montana territory and state"
In State Senate
Mr.. Brennan removed from Helena to
the Flathead in 1891. In 1904 he was
elected to the state senate and served
the term Of four years. He made a not
able record. He introduced the first rail-

Masonic lodge and a thirty-second de-
gree Scottish Rite Mason and Shriner.
AS a member Of the Masonic grand lodge
he participated in the laying OF the cor
nerstone at the entrance OF the Yellow
stone National park at Gardiner. On that
occasion Theodore Roosevelt WAS one Of
the honored guests.
When the Brennan family removed to
Flathead county the voting population
negligible. The records show that
In 1887 there were only 30 persons en-
titled to vote In the entire county and
in 1891 the number had only slightly in
creased. During his long years OF resi-
dence he lent his personal influence
whenever and wherever possible, TO every
movement calculated to develop the coun-
ty in which he took an extraordinary
pride.

Denmark Epis copal
Dignitary Shelved
BY Kansas City Gen
eral Conference

KANSAS CITY. May 1T.-lPp-
Bishop Anton Bast of Copenhagen,
Denmark, was found guilty Of impu-
dent and unministrial conduct by an
ecclesiastical court Of the Methodist
Episcopal church which reported its
findings to the quadrennial general
conference Of the church here to-
day.

ministers. sustained the suspension
Of the bishop following conviction in
Denmark in 1925 on charges involv-
ing the alleged misuse Of charity
funds.
While %suspending him permanently
from exercising the functions of
bishop, the ecclesiastical court con-
tinued him in the membership and
ministry and recommended provi-
sion for his support until the next
meeting Of his conference, which
will be held next spring.
The conference adopted this recon-
mendation 10 the Episcopacy COM
mittee.
Civil difficulties Of the Danish
bishop started in 1924 when he was

regarding to deficit in his magazine.

the Copenhagen area after Bishop
Bast was suspended. were named in
