Beaverhead County Road Talks Open and Bridge Plans
Beaverhead county officials in Dillon Montana held a sequence of meetings September 1911 to discuss road openings and bridge construction. Viewers reported on routes for a Glendale street link with Blacktail road and recommended Route No 2 with a possible cost around 1260 dollars. Remonstrances from residents urged rejection of a separate Beaverhead road project tied to private land.

Oregon Short Line to Stop at Willis Daily
The state railroad commission orders the Oregon Short Line to stop one train in each direction daily at Willis after October 1. Trains had been diverted to Glen since April due to the steep grade, inconveniencing passengers and ranchers who must travel farther. The commission notes that while frequent stops across many miles are impractical, Willis deserves a station for better service.
