Comment from the CopifoI =

You know how it is. You go
down to the polling place on

it on a bet. 1t is your duty,
you tell yourself. And so it is.
You insist that your wife be
a registered voter, too. So far
so good.
What happens when you draw
that curtain around the voting
booth. You vote Row A or Row
B, or maybe G or d or a COM
bination of candi dates. You
leave the booth feeling pretty
darn good. You are a citizen
who takes his civic duties Sc
riously. Now here is the 1884,

How did those candidates get
their names up on that ma
chine? Who decided which men
to offer up to your choice? Did
you? Did your neighbOr? Did

MONTANA
CHINOOK'S OPINION

by John A. Prestbo. The Chinook Opinion.
On the 5h of April, 1890, the original editor and proprietor
of the Chinook Opinion, W. c. Kester, landed in Chinook with
a young wife and a dozen cases of type as his principal resources;
in addition, he had faith in the future, a pretty thorough under
standing of the typographical art and a good supply OF nerve. He
was not unlike other pioneer newspapermen who came west to
begin publishing in a then unsettled Montana.
Chinook had been in exiStance as a town for about two
years when the first issue of KesteriS Opinion" came out on May
8, 1890. 1t was a country weekly, full of editorial comment that
lived up to its unique name. Its first printers "devil", Lee Sed-
gwick, still lives in Chinook. Outmoded and even laughable by
modern standards, the Opinion and it's statewide contempor-
aries brought the news to the other pioneers of rough and ready
Montana. Perhaps more than any other factor, the newspaper
brought civilization quicker to Montanats open spaces.
