Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen is calling on the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to scrap its rubber-stamp analysis of the American Prairie Reserve’s (APR) radical grazing change of use permit proposal aimed at fundamentally transforming northeastern Montana.

Rare is the town that fails to make a list of the top ten places to do whatever: retire, ski, fish, buy an over-priced condo. As hard as I look, however, I can’t find Malta included anywhere. It even missed a recent list of the best places to retire in Montana that included Jordan. Really. Jordan with a population of 400, a dusty little prairie burg sitting on the banks of Dog Creek, was considered a better place to retire than Malta. I suppose that’s a good thing. We’ve got enough old peopl...

The high school students under the direction of Mrs. Sue Gilkerson created and displayed posters at the school. Military deaths are still occurring at the rate of 22 a day! While many struggle with the idea of it, too many see this as the only opt...

The Malta Mustangs Football team is now 5-0 this season after posting a dominant 43-0 over the Conrad Cowboys at Mustang field on Friday, September 24. "The key to our win was being able to shut down their run game, and forcing them to pass, and that creates turnovers for us," Malta senior Cash Salsbery said. "Which made sense because we had a lot of picks today." Salsbery was asked about the team's start, and he said that it was a good start, but the team has plenty to work on. "We are working...
