Centennial Valley Transfer Rally at Dillon Court House
A large mass meeting at the Dillon court house urged transferring Centennial valley from Madison to Beaverhead county. Speakers including Gov. B. F. White and A. L. Stone urged the bill, which passed the senate. Residents argued shorter county access and shared resources justify the move, while opponents did not appear. The plan would add about 65 miles of territory and adjust indebtedness, with resolutions to Helena supporting the transfer. Representative Eliel pledged to back the bill with Representative Murray.
