June 80, 1882, "Butte and
Helena to be connected by Tele-
phone" august 20, 1892.
The Rock Mountain Bell Tele-
phone Company became a part
OF what is today the Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph
Company in July, 1911. At that
time, as now, there were many
independent telephone companies
| operating in Montana.
The zoe, O0Oth telephone was
attained on March 81, 1859. IT
was installed in the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Gary A. Lewis, $40 18th
South in Great Falls. The half
way mark was reached In 1913
after So years. The second 100, 900
telephones required only IL years
to attain.
Today, Mountain States has
$500 employees with an annual
payroll Of $11,75O,000 in Mon
tana. 1t operates lib central Of
fees including % manual offices
serving 1890 telephones and 80
dial offices serving 184,200 tele-
phones. In addition the company
provides operator long distance
and local assistance services to 80
independent and cooperative tele-
phone companies serving over
10000 telephones in the state.
Many facts and events in the
telephones development in Mon
tana could be chronicled, but
nothing is more vivid in the minds
of the people of the state than
the fact that the telephone, reach
ing out as it does today, draws
the far corners of the state to-
gether making neighbors of the
people in cities and towns that
were widely scattered and sparsely
districts at the turn of
the century.
