creased from 57,7OO in 1920 to 34,30C
in 1858.
Whether this increasing urbani-
zation is desirable or not is hotIy
debated in some Montana circles.
But wherever one stands on the
subject, it is a fact that the trend
is continuing, for the chronological
changes involved in the agricultur-
al revolution are beyond the con-
troll of the individual farmer.
Thus, Montana cities will continue
to grow, and a smaller proportion of
our citizens will be making their liv-
ing directly off agriculture, either
on the farm or in those towns whose
only economic base is serving sur
rounding farms.

GLASGOW-AN EXAMPLE

Let US take concrete example of
planning. Glasgow has known since
1854 the city was to be the site of a
large SAC airbase, although nobody
knew how large or the exact location.
The Chamber of Commerce started
making plans for the expected growth
by co-ordinating housing within the
city. Last year, the city council and
Board of County Commissioners set
up an official City-County Planning
Board to deal with this growth. The
board is embarked on preparation of
a master plan charting the future
growth of Glasgow. Key elements in
this plan include the future popula-
tion of the area, how much housing
will be required and where it should
best be located, fitting new streets
into the existing street pattern. as
suring adequate water and sewers
in new areas, and controlling right
of way on new arterial highways
(such as that going to the airbase) |
The board hopes to have the plan
completed in two years.
In the meantime, the Planning
Board is approving all new plans,
fitting them into the most beneficial
pattern for the future Glasgow. The
folks up there do not want a recur-
renee of the shack towns which sprang
up in the area with the construction
Of Fort Peck Dam 20 years ago.
The State Planning Board has been
'o-ordinating city planning activities {

State Historical Society,"

brary moved to Helena. Fire totally
destroyed this treasure soon after
the move, and one can only speculate
about what priceless manuscripts, pic
lures and early newspaper files were
lost.
The original Society members be-
gan again to build up a library col
lection. Funds were raised from the
public and Governor Potts approved
a $4,000 appropriation on Feb. 10,
1874. Active members were enrolled,
and one record shows that annual
membership fees were $40. Among
honorary members of the day were
Bret Harte and such Montana not
ables as Peter Roman, Conrad Kohrs,
Martin Maginnis, Rev. Anthony Ra-
valli, Bishop Daniel Tuttle, and Angus
Mcdonald.
The Society moved its collection
to the Lewis and Clark county court
house in 1887 and William F. Wheel
er, former U. S. Marshall and director
of the 1870 census, became librarian
at $25 per month. The next year
Wheeler was paid $50 a month.
The library report of 1888 indi-
Gates that 1000 bound volumes, 1000
pamphlets, many manuscripts and
about 200 bound volumes of news
papers were on hand. While current
expenses had not exceeded $3.50 a |
year, the Society needed $500 to
bind loose newspapers on hand.
The 1888 report also indicated the
need, in the near future, of offices,
hall, library room, study and read
ng room in fireproof building. This
particular hope was not to materialize
or more than 60 years. But in 1889,
lmong other donations, came cane

pealed to the city council and county
commissioners, and ultimately to the
courts. A planning board is thus a
regular department of city and county
government-appointed to deal with
problems of growth in the name of
the governing bodies, and to prepare
recommendation for action. 1t is
similar to a city-county health board
or joint airport commission. Since
1857, IA such boards have been
formed.
Since most of urban growth occurs
outside city limits, it is the boards of
county commissioners which enact
most of the regulations-e.g.. SUBJ
division standards, zoning ordinance
and major street plan. City councils.
of course, have had the power to zone
within city limits since 1929. With |
the new urban planning legislation,
county commissioners in Montana are
given the same powers for dealing
with urban growth that cities have
had for many years. The advantage

FINALLY ACCORDED
DESIGNATED QUARTERS IN 1902

The completion of the State Capitol
building in 1902 gave the Historical
Library officially designated quarters
for the first time. These were ade-
quate for only a few years. Library
collections continued to expand and
at about this time two small cases
of museum objects brought from the
Lewis and Clark county courthouse
became the nucleus of a growing col
lection of artifacts and historical OBJ
jects.
In 1922 Librarian j. u. Sanders
urged the adoption of the name His
torical Society Of Montana in his re-
port, to cover the expanding activities.
In the same report he told about
Elizabeth Mcdonald of Butte whose
reorganization of the library along
modern lines was to make possible
the present Historical Library, now
under the direction of Virginia Wal
ton. In recounting the library story,
the contributions of longtime As
sistant Librarian Anne Mcdonnell,
must be included. Until her retire
ment i'm 1863, Mrs. Mcdonnell was
an inspiration to hundreds of re-
searchers and writers, and is herself
a walking research library.
Today the hope of a young man
who wanted to write book and all
he others who Joined with him in
starting the move to preserve Mon
ana's history has been realized in a
'uller sense than they probably en-
'isioned, in the spacious new build

BULK OF NEW GROWTH
IN THREE CITIES

Just as significant as this increas-
ing urbanization is the fact that the
growth in Montana is not spread
evenly. 1t can be shown from State
Board of Health figures that over
80 per cent of Montanas estimated
$1,000 population increase between
1850 and 1857 occurred in the ten
most populous counties-those con-
tanning the larger cities. Of these,
those counties containing Billings,
Great Falls and Missoula have alb
sorbed the bulk of the new growth.
1t is well known, too, that several
Montana communities have declined
their past position for one reason or
another. Roundup and Red Lodge,
for instance, have lost people the past
decade because of shutdown in coal
mines, arising from greater use of
diesel fuel by railroads. Butte has
lost at least 5000 people in the past
two years, according to recent esti-
mates of the Butte City-County Plan
ming Board, because of change in
mining methods for non-ferrous met
ais, and a recession in the industry.
The largest share of Montana's
communities, though, have expert
enced fairly constant growth since |
World War II-ranging from a few
new subdivisions per year in smaller
communities to fairly important
growth in Billings and Great Falls.
We have two examples of cities which,
nay be experiencing abnormal growth
n the next few years-Glasgow, be-
ause of the new airbase, and Libby,
f Libby Dam and a proposed pulp
Mill are built.
Thus. Montana's population is
undergoing dynamic changes -
changes which have important eff
fects on the states economy. Con-
tinued decline in opportunities in
a agricultural production, in terms
of people supported, means that
future population growth will oc-
cur in cities.
Achieving that growth, and coping l
18th it as it occurs, is therefore nee /
;sary for the most beneficial eco
omic development of Montana.

ONE OF WORLDS LARGEST
RUSSELL COLLECTIONS


Coincidentally with the move into
the new building was the acquisition
of the fine Malcolm S. Mackay col
lection of original C. M. Russell art.
Now valued at $500,000, the basic
Mackay group has been augmented
by other acquisitions and loans to
the point where the Russell art col
lection in the two Russell galleries is
one of the worlds largest and finest.
The Historical Library since 1865
has gathered vast and priceless col
lection of manuscripts, old news
papers, photographs and myriad other
items which make up fine research
center. These are now effectively
housed on the second floor of the
new building and in six spacious
stack levels.
Since 1941 the Historical Society
has published quarterly magazine
of history. Michael S. Kennedy, who
succeeded DR.. Toole as director last
year, has been editor of MONTANA,
THE MAGAZINE OF WESTERN
HISTORY the past six years. Largely
through his guidance the publication
has achieved uniqueness in present
ing authentic history of the Western
states. 1t is now the most widely read
and distributed journal of its kind in
existence.
The Society itself is a fulfillment |
of Montana history, coming as it did
at the first legislative assembly of
Montana Territory at Bannack in
1864 and now reaching full circle.
Francis M. Thompson introduced
House Bill 81, an act to incorporate
the Historical Society of Montana. 1t
passed unanimously and was approved
by Gov. Sidney Edgerton on Feb. 2,
1865.
Granville Stuart and his brother,
James, were among the group of
young men who instigated the first
Society. Others were Christopher
Higgins, Malcolm Clark, Wilbur Sand
ers. Charles Baggs, William Graham,
w. w. DeLacy, Francis M. Thompson,
