The North Dakota Game and Fish Department has decided to wait at least a year before developing a lottery to issue tags for the paddlefish snagging season. While legislation passed in 2013 allows the Department to use a lottery system to issue paddlefish tags if and when needed, Game and Fish Department fisheries chief Greg Power said that after full review of the 2013 paddlefish season, and considering ongoing research on the paddlefish population, biologists have determined that a lottery is not necessary in 2014. “However, this ongoing p...
Mother nature cut a wide swath of destruction throughout north west Richland County Monday night, August 5.

For many people, Thursday’s Co-Op Day at the Fair entails a momentary stop at the sponsor tent for a complimentary root beer float— and an equally hasty return to other Fair-afternoon happenings. However, this day has more behind it than simply a free cooldown for fairgoers. The event was set in motion in 2000 by Kelly Knaff of the Lower Yellowstone Rural Electric Association, one of the seven original co-ops which contributed to the day. Richland Farm Mutual joined in the fun in 2008 and Hor...

The new variety stands out from Yellowstone as having a hard white kernel versus the hard...

Olson was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Born in 1939 i...
Blue Rock Products Company, also known as Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company, was established in 1913 at Fairview, Montana. At that time, the town of Fairview was a trading center for area farmers in the Yellowstone Valley and the dry land hill country.

Both beer and soft drinks were shipped by rail to customers in outlying areas...
