When the Missouri River puts Cascade behind, it looks out toward the sunset and the distant Rocky Mountain Front, the range of mountains that gave Montana its label "Land of the Shining Mountains." On July 18, Lewis wrote, "We passed the entrance a beautifull river 80 yards wide which falls in a Lard (left side). Which in honour of Mr. Roberts Smith secretary of the navy we called Smiths River. This stream meanders through a most lovely valey to the S.E. for about 25 miles...

CCHS senior football players Caleb Fix and Mason Lovec will remember their final home game as a win after the Bulldogs trounced the Center-Stanton Wildcats 54-22 last Friday at Rowley Field. CCHS took control of the game early on with a 25 yard touchdown run from Fix. On their first defensive series of the game, defensive ends Mick O'Connor and Caleb Fix forced three Wildcat fumbles. All three were recovered by the Wildcats and the third was recovered in the end zone, tying...
Montana smokers could be on the hook for an additional $2 per pack if ballot initiative Initiative 185 passes. The tobacco industry is shelling out big bucks in hopes it won't happen. It's a big reason your mailbox is stuffed this election season with flyers arguing its pros and cons. The initiative's backers see its passage as a "win-win." Higher taxes for tobacco products could discourage their use and perhaps reduce medical problems they cause. The extra money raised would...

Hello, They had a bucking horse contest in Watford a couple of days ago. I wasn’t there. I wish I had been. They bucked nearly a hundred young horses out. Putting a dummy on them. No, a real dummy. It’s a deal rigged up to come off a young horse after a few seconds. Gives you a chance to see how these colts are going to perform as they get older. It’s a contest between stock contractors and bucking horse breeders. I’ve always had a soft spot for bucking horses. Unless they are saddle horses that buck. Over the years I’ve go...
Sorry it has been a long time since I have written a “memories” article, but it has been a busy fall with lots of activities. A short “rabbit trail” before I get back to writing about those old time special neighbors. The Days of ‘85 have come and gone, but in my last article I mentioned our graduating class of 1948 was hoping to get together during that time. I also remember that during the days several other CCHS year classes did. Those years were 1953, 1955, 1958, 1968, 1988 and 2008, and I so enjoyed seeing and having a...
A vote for the continued support for 6-Mill Levy (LR-128, SB-85) would again help keep our most precious natural resources, our children, from looking for lower educational costs out of state. Some would like you to believe that 6-Mill is a new tax and unnecessary. It is neither. It is a 70 year Montana tradition approved by voters every 10 years without increase. There is strong bipartisan support including both current US Senators and organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Farm Bureau. Consider these facts....

The 29th Annual Alzada Cowboy Poetry, Music and Art Show saw a smaller crowd of about 125 people attend, but the community spirit inside the old hall was as lively as ever. “Why we do this…,” this year’s theme, was very evident throughout the day, which included a full program of poetry and music in the afternoon.

Featured performers of Kevin Adams, Casper, WY; Karen Stockett, Fallon, MT; Pam Nisley, Broadus, MT and The Amigos group from Sundanc...
