The staff at the Phillips County Museum completed the second of two days of setting up for this year's Phillips County Historical Society's "Old Fashion Christmas!" nearly three weeks ahead of the November 29 event, an annual occurrence at the Malta location. One change this year for the Christmas party is instead of giving out only small trees for local businesses, individuals, and organizations to decorate for the night's auction, this time around, the traditional trees are joined by wreaths...

In my travels around the county this fall it’s been hard to miss the new signs: “Save the cowboy, stop American Prairie Reserve.” Apparently there’s some concern that the non-profit group hoping to create an American Serengeti in north central Montana is threatening a revered, low-paying lifestyle. The new signs were put up by United Property Owners of Montana, a group that says it supports private property rights, yet disapproves of what APR does on its own property. It’s an issue of bison vs....
Dear Editor, In last week’s PCN Troy Blunt explained recent actions taken against his family by the American Prairie Reserve. According to Troy’s letter APR, in order to protect their private property rights, has denied access to approximately ¼ mile of their property used only to trail cattle. APR, as a private property owner, has every right to deny access (although for such an insignificant use this is not neighborly) but I find their rational distasteful. According to Troy’s letter the denial came because the Blunt family chose to exercise...
Dear Editor, Whatever happened to the feeling of sincere appreciation that was deeply felt within us? It seems that for some time people, the feelings of appreciation is short-lived and gone in seconds. I will give you an example of the appreciation feeling and how long it lasts. It’s like a very hot skillet on the stove and you flick some water on it and you can see how fast the water is vaporized. Well, that’s how long some people’s feelings of appreciation last. Harry A. Carpenter, Jr. Malta...

He was the second of five children, born to Mary Genieve Copple (Simpson) and Charles Dewey Copple. Charlie started working at a young age.

Because of these extended stays, he missed so...
The election is finally over! Our Whitewater town has been booming! We had cowboys, hunters, and a basketball tournament with several teams. First, local ranchers are shipping cattle. Recently, I heard bawling from Stockyards. Maybe these are Howard Bergs’. Huge trucks ship the cattle now. When I grew, most shipping was done on The Little Train which we called the “Galloping Goose.” The train ran from Glasgow to Saco, Whitewater, Turner and Hogeland, Mont. I wish we still had a train here. As I...

The Malta High School Old Gym once again kicked off another season of Fatman Basketball on Sunday, November 11. Though the name implies that its players are obese, the game is just an intramural setting for men 18 and over that play to stay or get into shape.
