It would conduct electricity, like those towers outside. It kind of looks like one of those but in a s...
It is that time of the year when the grass is always greener on the other side. Everyone in the neighborhood wants the best-looking grass and will do anything for it. There are many factors that help you achieve the best grass, but there is more that can destroy your grass. Voles seem to be the biggest enemy on the flats of Butte, MT. I have not hunted in Whitehall. How do you get rid of voles? There are three ways I have heard people try, but only one results in the best BBQ vole I have eaten. The first way is to put a garden hose into the hol...
Now you all know there is a delightful request for community members, young and old, to "build" or create a fairy dwelling for the Enchanted Forest, but you might be asking, "HOW?" To make a fairy house you can use all different materials from cardboard to old birdhouses, big pieces of bark, doll houses, carved-out wood stumps; just about anything that piques your fancy. You can add moss, small pebbles, twigs, and other natural materials that fairies would find in their forest habitat. Don't forget a door in and a way for viewers to see inside...

May, Part II As of now, the Kentucky Derby was a big event in 1897. Typhoon II won the 23rd running followed by Ornament. Second place received a tidy sum of $700. A San Francisco millionaire made the front page for his arrest after spitting on the floor of a streetcar.

MAY 20, 1998 The race in the Republican primary election for Senate District 20 saw current State Representative Duane Grimes running against current State Senator Dan Hurwitz, and despite the relatively high-profile stature of the two candidates, the campaign was relatively quiet. That wasn’t exactly how the candidates wanted it. Both Grimes and Hurwitz were pounding the district (all of Jefferson, Meagher, and Broadwater counties and parts of Lewis & Clark and Cascade counties) looking for support. Instead, they found indifference. The W...
May 20th, 1862, 161 years ago: President Lincoln signed the Homestead Act of 1862. Under this new law, an American citizen could claim 160 acres of Federal land, provided they "prove up" and reside on the land for at least five years. Many of Montana's first settlers claimed land under the Homestead Act, totaling 151,600 homesteads of 32,050.480 acres of land (about 34% of the state). However, shaping Montanan land proved difficult, causing many homesteaders to fold early and sell their plots...
