Montana Had Two George Ives in Early Days
Two Montana figures from pioneer times share a name and different fates. One, a vigilante ally of the Plummer group, was hanged after a 1863 Nevada Aldergulch trial. The other, a Civil War veteran who wandered the West, rests in a G A R plot in Livingston with a military headstone.

Christmas Tree Movement From Montana In North Western Timber Region
A forest service survey reports about 1.3 million Douglas fir trees from northwestern Montana are shipped for Christmas use. About 300 workers gain two months of seasonal work cutting and loading trees destined for the upper Mississippi valley and beyond. Rail transport profits the system 400 to 500 dollars per carload while owners and agencies take small per-tree fees.
