If one didn't know better, one might be led to believe that elfin' magic happened in the middle of the night at the Court House. Standing graciously on the ground floor of the Court House is the seasonal display put together and arranged by the fairies and pixies (aka the employees). The theme this year was based around gingerbread houses and the display is one you should make an effort to come see while it is up. Spearheaded by Jodee Lee (in her spare time), the elegant tree is surrounded by...

The two head contractors are both less than 30 years old. Doug Ost, who sold the property to the development...
The magic of Christmas hit the streets of Malta on Monday the 4th of December, and a good portion of the town residents showed up and lined the streets for the annual Parade of Lights. As the music of the holiday season played at the Veterans Park on Front Street, families lined up and anxiously awaited the flashing lights and, of course, the candy thrown from the parade entries! Young and old, ready with bags, were scrambling to retrieve the goodies tossed among the crowd. This year, the chairm...

Averee Matthews: "I remember! It was the year I got my phone!" Layla Messerly: "I got an archery bow for Christmas from my older sister and that's probably my favorite; I've been doing that since I was eight or nine." Supt. Steve Bucks: "I remember when I was little, my dad got this great big tree.

Every time I visit Bozeman I’m reminded of why I left. At the time I blamed the opening of a store specializing in nothing but batteries as the final straw. That was nearly 20 years ago. Bozeman has grown by leaps and bounds since then. There are probably a couple of battery stores in town now. Malta, on the other hand, where Barb and I moved, has seen a decline in population, as has much of rural Montana. Newcomers, it seems, may talk about moving to the rugged West, but most of them actually w...

Did you know there was a commercial fishing industry in Phillips County at one time? In 1922, the McNeil brothers, Hinsdale area sheep ranchers, seined and shipped 120,000 lbs. of live carp caught in Nelson Reservoir to Jewish markets in New York City.
