The Montana Pioneers society marked several historical interest points in the past year, as noted in the biennial report of the Historical Society of Montana. David Hilger, state historical librarian and secretary, prepared the report and highlights additional milestones.
Multiple real estate and land listings across the Northwest and mountain regions. Offers include irrigated 5 to 10 acre plots in Bitter Root Valley with down payments, unimproved land with water rights, and various price tiers for wheat and cut over land. Also a sheep ranch trade and two Oregon wheat ranches for exchange. Pacific States Realty Co advertises urban offices. a coal mine near Lewistown Montana is offered for sale with substantial vein coal and retirement sale terms.
An odd listing shows Bowling Alleys for sale and references Hannum Wright at 717 Main St Miles City Montana. It also advertises Holstein bulls from Ringling Dairy Ranch White Sulphur Springs Montana and Montana's largest dairy institution.
Various classified adverts list honey and poultry for sale with prices and contact details in Montana. Entries include extracted honey, pure bred Bourbon Red turkeys, Ammonth Bronze turkeys, farm animals for sale, seed and feed suppliers, and shop services. Also minor help wanted notices and a few personal ads amid business listings.
The Three Forks region near the Missouri River junction of the Jefferson Madison and Gallatin forks housed remittance men with land holdings around 7,000 acres. Accounts recall drownings, cattle ventures, and hard times, as former colonists drifted away, leaving a quieter town after their departure.
The 1880s English colony at Three Forks purchased land for 10000, moved stock to British possessions, and later sold property to the Anaconda company. They hosted rowdy gatherings with guns, rode bucking horses in English saddles, built an ice boat, and displayed fearlessness in river crossings and hunting along the Madison and Gallatin rivers.
The Pioneer society asks the state to publicly mark historic sites in Montana. They highlight the Mullan wagon road from 1858 to 59, the gold discovery site, and Lewis and Clark meeting with local Indians at Armstead. They also push markers for Malcolm Clark’s grave and other early figures.
A terse exchange shows a worker asking for fire insurance while the other quips about speaking up to the boss. The dialogue highlights workplace stakes and casual attitudes toward protection and confrontation.
