The end of July left us with really warm temps, a hot wind, and 24% humidity! The wind was so hot on Saturday I feared a grass fire starting up and zipping over the hills!

Dear Editor, I am writing in regard to the pipeline from Canada to Texas. All the land owners along it went to Glendive in about 2010. That day, all agreed it should be built and was being paid for by Canada, 100%. It included off ramps for U.S.A. oil to be picked up.

While news reports documented extremely low water levels upstream at Canyon Ferry Reservoir this spring, late snows and heavy r...
