Fertile Region Seeks an Outlet-Choteau to Helena by Electricity
In Montana's northern Lewis and Clark and Teton counties farmers and merchants urge a new electric or hydro line to connect the fertile Sun River valley and Freezeout flat with Helena. They criticize rail routes that force long trips to distant towns for markets and complain freight rates keep prices high while water access is limited. Helena veteran D A G Flowerree farmed alfalfa and livestock on the Sun river near Tort Shaw.
