Editor: Montana's Hi-Line is generally associated with grasslands, endless fields of wheat, large herds of cattle, and remoteness. It is all that, but it is also a place where a wilderness experience can be found. For those willing to get off the highway and explore the back roads, you'll find rugged prairie, breaks, badlands and island ranges that offer a natural setting where opportunities for solitude and primitive recreation are as great or greater than the mountains to the west. Most people have heard of the C.M. Russell... Full story
Ai-yi-yi! I don’t know what to do. One minute I’m happily married, the next minute I’m headed for divorce court. You know how I’ve been purging drawers and cabinets, throwing away useless, outdated and un-used stuff — the stuff we tend to shove away to deal with later? Maybe I got carried away.

Milk didn’t always come in plastic-coated cardboard cartons. Way back in the 1950s, it came in pint-or quart-sized glass bottles and was delivered to your door twice a week by Fred the milkman or his teenaged helper on the truck. Fred watched the card in your front window for any change in the number or kind of milk you wanted, but he had pretty well memorized the type and number of milk products wanted by every household he served in Havre. If it was below freezing outside, Fred would put the milk inside the door. If hot in...
