However, some phone carriers have not implemented this technology, in part because of the belief that federal law p...

Left alone in a vehicle for even a short time, a child is in danger of heatstroke, dehydration, overheating, hyperthermia, injury, abduction and even death. Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) officials said no child should ever be put in that situation. “There have been deaths and several close calls over the years in Montana, so it’s something...

Ames Water Solutions has recently made firefighting a bit easier with unlimited, free water available to the Richland County Fire and Road Departments at their Charley Creek Water Depot. Situated approximately seven miles south of the Missouri River, the depot draws water from the river using a floating...

In the fall of 1909 an influx of people came to the Fox Lake area to homestead on government land. This required living on the land for a period of three years. Many of these were bachelors while others had come with their families. Some of these early settlers had come by covered wagon, with later arrivals coming by rail to Glendive, Montana on the Northern Pacific line, or Mondak, farther north on the Great Northern. They staked out claims and fenced them, slowly pushing back the cattlemen. Whenever these newcomers squatted upon land already...

North Dakota Game and Fish Department fisheries personnel are gearing up to stock a record number of walleye lakes this year. Fisheries production and development supervisor Jerry Weigel said 20 years ago approximately 50-70 waters were stocked annually with walleye fingerlings, with the number of waters growing to 100 in the early 2000s. This year, 156 waters are scheduled to receive a share of 9 million fingerlings. “The growth in walleye waters is directly correlated to the number of public fishing waters we manage,” Weigel said.

The journey was long, but well worth it for Eivind Nilssonn Rudi and Knut Rogne of Vesleroe, Norway. Their trip began in 1905.

From there, they boarded another train to Mondak, Montana, crossed the Missouri by ferry, went to a town called Java and then on to Fairview, MT. Both men filed on homesteads seven...
