The Hilger Herald Newspaper, Hilger, MT July 12, 1912

Description

This is a rare newspaper from Hilger, Montana.  Hilger was basically nearby Kendall, MT removed from the gold mining town site of Kendall in the North Moccasin Mountains to a few miles east to meet the advancing Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul and Pacific RR railroad line.  Kendall had hoped to get the railroad but the rail company didn't want to build a line into the mountain preferring the more level plains. The Hilger Herald was published every Friday by Arthur R. Thompson, Editor and Publisher.  Thompson previously had a newspaper at Kendall.  This newspaper is folded in good condition with some wear on the edges as to be expected from an older newspaper.
