July 25, 1912: "The forest service has now telephone connections from Moran ranger station to Belton and all the connecting lines of the Glacier National park, also a line from the station to the Vance ranch. From the station to Moran mountain is a line, which gives the lookout man stationed there, telephone communication direct to the station. Twenty miles north from there another lookout man is stationed. In case of a fire he signals the exact location of the same to the man on Moran mountain, this man in turn telephones this message to the station where supplies and pack outfits are to be had, and camps fitted out for fire crews, thereby causing no delay in commencing work on a fire as soon as it is discovered." (The Columbian)
