Later Nez Perces, Flatheads, and Kootenais pushed eastward through passes from the headwaters of the Columbia River system. Then came horses and firearms, and the whites themselves to set up an entirely different state of affairs in their hitherto relatively peaceful existence. First, a growing and expounding Siouan race, pressed forward also by an expanding irresistable Algonkian stock, occupied the high plains and pushed back its peoples behind the wall of mountains. These were the Crows from the south. the Assiniboins to the east. Lastly, armed with strategy and firearms, and given speed and range with horses, the Blackfeet came forth from their forests to become the terror of the north. They grew strong on the abundance of food and game on the Great Plains, and pushed the Crows beyond the Yellowstone River, until met by the forces of white soldiers and the tide of civilization. The mountains of Glacier National Park in Montana are made up of many layers of limestone and other rocks formed from sediments deposited under water. At intervals muds were laid down which later became consolidated into rocks known as "shales" and "argillites." Limy or calcareous muds were changed into limestone. The rocks show ripple marks which were made by waves when the rock material was soft sand and mud. Raindrop impressions and sun cracks show that the mud from time to time was exposed to rains and the drying action of the air. These facts indicate that the area was once covered by a shallow sea. The geologist estimates that these depositions were made several hundred million years ago. In the plains area east of the mountains are 1 18,512; Roosevelt, Prog.. 22,456; Debs, Soc. 10,885. 1916 (Pres.), Wilson, Dem.. 101.063: Hughes.

These contain many forms of life, such as fish and shells. In Glacier National Park some of the ancient glacier ice still remains in the higher portions of the valleys and a study of these ice fields helps in interpreting the history of the park during the Ice Age. It is evident that ice did not cover the entire range, but that the higher peaks stood out above the ice, which probably never reached a thickness of over 3,000 feet in this region. The V-shaped valleys which had been produced by stream erosion were filled with glaciers which moved slowly down the valleys. The ice froze onto all loose rock material and carried it forward. using it as abrasive to gouge out the rock, the valley bottoms, and sides. Gradually the valley: were molded until they had acquired a smooth U-shaped character. There are examples of this work of ice in the park, among which are Two Medicine, Cut Bank, St. Mary, Swiftcurrent, and Belly River Valleys. In addition to smoothing the valley down which they moved, the glaciers produced many rock basins called cirques. These are the result of ice plucking in the regions where the glaciers formed. Alternate freezing and thawing cause the rock to break and the resulting fragments are carried away by the moving ice mass. In the majority of cases the cirques have lakes on their floors. The park is dotted with these little lakes scattered throughout the high mountain country. The valley lakes are usually larger than the cirque lakes and have a different origin. As the glaciers melted they deposited huge loads of sand. mud. and boulders in the valley bottoms called moraines. 1940 (U. S.
