YELLOW DOG JIM WAS
ONCE A LIBBY BOYS PET

When this paper recently clipped a
story from Kalispell paper which
told about yellow Dog Jim" being a
hero, we had no idea we were paying
honor to former member of Idbby's
canine population. But it turns out
that such are the facts.
You remember how yellow dog Jim
awakened his young master, Rex Nc
Glothlin, at Kalispell and would not be
pacified until the boy and his father
had opened the door when they dis
covered that the house across the street
was afire. AS they turned in the alarm
Jim gave every evidence of being
satisfied.
Well, Jim was at one time a Libby
dog, owned by DR. Martin and his
sons. But because it was thought jim
was too big and ungainly for a house
pet he was traded to the young son of
Frank Decker. The, Deckers moved
over east temporarily and again jim
was traded, this time to the McGloth-
lin lad. However, we opine that jim
has now won home for some time
to come because of his keenness and
energy in arousing the household and
giving the alarm of the fire across the
street All honor to Jim.

WRITES LETTER TO LITTLE
GIRL TELLING HOW SANDSTONE
is MADE IN NATURES WORKSHOP

BUTTE A little eight-year-old
girl, Lois Keller, of Forsyth, recent
ly found an interesting stone in the
hills near her home, and sent it, with
Bureau of Mines and Geology, a de-
partment OF the Montana School of
Mines at Butte. Although her specimen
proved to be valueless sandstone, the
scientists at the bureau were SO in
terested in her curiosity that Andrew
v. Cory, teaching fellow inf geology
and an Oxford graduate, wrote her a
special letter, telling her in language
suited to an eight-year-old the whole
fascinating geologic history Of sand
stone
Mr. Cory wrote in part as follows.
The rock, which is colored brown
and crumbles easily into small grains,
is known as sandstone. The name of
the rock tells exactly what it is, a
stone made of sand. If you examine
this sandstone under powerful glass
which enlarges everything greatly, you
will see that 1t is rock composed of
many small rounded grains of color
less material called quartz The fact
that these grains are rounded in par
ticular way shows that each grain, has
been worn smooth by water, like the
large stones and boulders which you
may see in creek bottoms. So these
grains have been torn from their orig
inal place and transported by water
until the stream could no longer carry
the material. There it was dropped and
a bed Of such grains slowly deposited,
until after the passage OF very long
time the grains were pressed closer to-
gether, attached to one another by
natural cementing substance, and hard
ened into layer or stratum of sand
stone
That is the story of sandstone. Of
course, it may not always be carried
by streams, lakes and especially the
ocean gnaw away at their banks and
shores and eventually bring about the
deposit Of beds Of sands and other sub
stances. Ice, in the form Of huge gla-
ciers, sometimes scoops up sands, end
grinds up rocks into sands, later de-
posting these materials where they
can form into beds. And the wind
sometimes whirls sands round In the
air. Where the wind drops these sands
beds can be formed"
Mr. Cory explained how large peb
bles occurr in the sandstone, and how
the sandstone is stained brown by
traces OF iron rust throughout it.
But If Miss Keller thought her speci-
men was precious, she was disappoint-
ed for, as Mr.. Cory concluded In his
letter to her, Although this rock is
interesting because it tells so much
about its history, how it was formed
and colored, it is of little value to
business man as 1t does not seem to
contain any materials Of commercial
value"
