It was at the beginning of this month when the wild horse roundup began in the Pryor Mountains, a range that is along the Montana-Wyoming border. With resistance for the roundup made well aware through the court system, a federal judge ruled that it could go on. At the end, 57 of the horses gathered were auctioned off in Wyoming this past Saturday. As we’ve watched the horse markets struggle, the bids that these horses brought were a touch surprising.

MEATLESS MONDAYS? A SD NEWSPAPER DISCUSSES ISSUE |

During World War I, the U.S. Food Administration urged families to reduce consumption of key staples to aid the war effort. “Food Will Win the War,” the government proclaimed, and “Meatless Monday” and “Wheatless Wednesday” were introduced to encourage Americans to do their part. The campaign returned during World War II and beyond, when Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman used rationing to help feed war-ravaged Europe. While the times were different for these campaigns and the reasoning behind the call to action was also substantially varied from what we are now experiencing, the plea for a “Meatless Monday” has returned again here in 2009.

A spokesman for Montana Representative Denny Rehberg dismissed a comment of Dennis McDonald, a rival, who on Monday accused the congressman of being drunk when he rode as a passenger in a power boat that later crashed into the rocky shore of Flathead Lake last month, injuring all five onboard, calling it a "classless" attack, designed to revitalize a faltering campaign.

Montana Senator Jon Tester told a Gallatin County Courthouse crowd in Bozeman yesterday that his proposed forest bill will break through years of gridlock over logging, saying the bill came from meetings between environmentalist groups and timber companies that wanted to reach a palatable compromise and will mandate forest service action, adding 600,000 acres of wilderness, while sacrificing a very small percentage of motorized areas, and trails.
