Early Day Mill Boon to Settler in Helena Region
The first mill to operate in the Helena country after a 20 year hiatus resumed as Northwestern Milling. Originating with Sanford & Evans, the 1867 mill faced a wrecked boat voyage, but ground flour from 1868 to 1893 for settlers from Prickly Pear and Missouri valleys. Prices were high for staples and major orders included 100 sacks of flour to A. M. Holter for 2600 dollars. The mill moved to Helena in 1883, changing partners and later closing in 1898, then reopening briefly in 1918 under Thurston and Lyman leadership.

Auto Stop Rules at Montana Rail Crossings
Legislative committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers plans a bill to require drivers to stop at railroad crossings in Montana. The bill, to be drafted by a union representative, will be introduced in the senate early in the next session. Engineers argue fatalities come from attempting to beat trains and failing to look before crossing. Several members support the measure, though the group will forgo a paid lobby due to costs. Some will visit Helena to press for passage. Also: Br T Dodd predicts electricity will soon replace steam on mountain railroads through tunnels and at terminals after reviewing the Milwaukee line.
