December 18, 2020 Fish Consumption Guidance Updated for Portions Of
Media contact: Trevor Selch, FWP Fisheries Pollution Biologist, 406-444-5686 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 18, 2020 Fish consumption guidance updated for portions of Clark Fork, Bitterroot and Blackfoot Rivers in western Montana MISSOULA – The State of Montana Fish Guidance Board, which includes Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) and the Departments of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS), has updated the fish consumption guidance for all species of fish on a 148-mile stretch of the Clark Fork River and tributaries in western Montana in response to new research results. Guidance now recommends avoiding consumption of all species of fish from the Clark Fork River’s confluence with the Bitterroot River, just west of Missoula, to the confluence with the Flathead River, near Paradise. Slightly revised guidance is also in place for rainbow trout and northern pike on an upstream section of the Clark Fork and for the Blackfoot and Bitterroot Rivers. New data was collected to assess chemical contaminants including dioxins, furans, and PCBs in fish tissue in a study area on the Clark Fork that extended from approximately 30 miles upstream of Missoula to 100 miles downstream. Testing in the area is underway as part of water quality monitoring around the former Smurfit-Stone Container mill site. Upon review of the study results, new guidance was issued based on high levels of contaminants in the fish tissue. The source of all the contaminants found in the fish has not been attributed. The study only looked at contaminant concentrations found in the muscle tissues of northern pike and rainbow trout, but the same “Avoid” guidance extends to all species present in the Clark Fork River near Missoula (such as brown trout, whitefish, small- and large-mouth bass, northern pikeminnow, and sucker species) because similar food habits, habitat use, and life- span suggest they could also contain chemical concentrations at potentially dangerous levels. -

Thomas Stuart Homestead Site: Historic Context Report
Thomas Stuart Homestead Historic Context Report Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site Avana Andrade Public Lands History Center at Colorado State University 2/1/2012 1 Thomas Stuart Homestead Site: Historic Context Report Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site in Deer Lodge Montana is currently developing plans for a new contact station. One potential location will affect the site of a late-nineteenth-century historic homestead. Accordingly, the National Park Service and the Montana State Historic Preservation Office need more information about the historic importance of the Thomas Stuart homestead site to determine future decisions concerning the contact station. The following report provides the historic contexts within which to assess the resource’s historic significance according to National Register of Historic Places guidelines. The report examines the site’s association with Thomas Stuart, a Deer Lodge pioneer, and the Menards, a French- Canadian family, and presents the wider historical context of the fur trade, Deer Lodge’s mixed cultural milieu, and the community’s transformation into a settled, agrarian town. Though only indications of foundations and other site features remain at the homestead, the report seeks to give the most complete picture of the site’s history. Site Significance and Integrity The Thomas Stuart homestead site is evaluated according to the National Register of Historic Places, a program designed in the 1960s to provide a comprehensive listing of the United States’ significant historic properties. Listing on the National Register officially verifies a site’s importance and requires park administrators or land managers to consider the significance of the property when planning federally funded projects. -

Back Country Horsemen of Idaho Annual Report 2017 Idaho Volunteer efforts were valued at $710,287.34 Boise Chapter BCH In addition to our spring philanthropy fund raiser ride for St. Jude; the Boise Chapter had two, three person crews on the ground for two days each in 2017. Each crew consisted of two BCH members and one non- member. The projects resulted in approximately 8 miles of non-wilderness trail clearing. Cache Peak BCH This past year was a productive year for our chapter. We started the year with Ken Crane, Burley BLM field manger, coming to our February meeting. We discussed possible projects. As a result, our chapter applied for a grant with the Idaho Hose Board to upgrade the trailhead at Cottonwood WLMA. We had a fundraiser yard sale in May. We had several trail cleaning projects starting with several trails at Bennett Springs/Pomerelle throughout June, July, and August. In October we cleaned trails at Big Cottonwood WLMA. In June we had a booth at the Search and Rescue event put on by Life Flight in Burley. Cache Peak was represented at the March convention in Boise and the September Directors meeting in Idaho Falls. We had our Christmas party at Carolyn Weimer’s house. We hope to have rides this coming year with High Desert and Portneuf River chapters this coming year. We are planning an Obstacle course event and hope to ride in one parade this year. “We clean trails as we ride” Heartland Back Country Horsemen 2017 year in Review Heartland’s year started with putting into place some ideas discussed at the Coalition of Parks and Recreation attended by President Robert Wagner and Vice-president Paul Kleint. -

EXPERIENCES of a PACKER in WASHINGTON TERRITORY MINING CAMPS DURING the SIXTIES (Concluded from Vol
EXPERIENCES OF A PACKER IN WASHINGTON TERRITORY MINING CAMPS DURING THE SIXTIES (Concluded from Vol. XIX., page 293). Well, that morning when Patterson reached the barber shop he found Pinkham in the barber shop getting shaved; Patterson just walked over to the barber chair, drew out a big dragoon six shooter and placing it against Pinkhams ear shot him through the head. After he was shot Pinkham jumped up and ran to the front door, and fell there dead. I was right there at the time and saw him lying there in a pool of blood. Patterson "gave himself up," and his crowd being in control of things he was later acquitted by a packed or intimidated jury. Patterson was a bad man, he had killed a sea captain in Portland, and murdered a number of men in "self defense." When a bad man wanted to commit murder with impunity he picked a quarrel with his vic tim and killed "in self defense." In going from Walla Walla to the Kootenay mining district we traveled over the Mullan Road to the crossing of the Touchet River, the site of the present town of Prescott; thence to the Snake River, which we crossed sometimes at Silcott's or Lyons Ferry and sometimes at Texas Ferry. We struck the Mullan Road again at Rock Creek and followed it to the crossing of the Spokane River, or Herrin's Bridge, as the place was then called. This bridge was located near the Idaho line, about a half mile above the place where Col.
