...legendary names and places pepper the maps of South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana, three Old West states currently celebrating 100 years of statehood. Trails are named the Lewis and Clark, the Bozeman, the Cheyenne- Deadwood; names like Custer, Big Horn and Virginia City beckon the eye. Undaunted by the midsummer heat, the states have mounted an extravagant array of rodeos, cattle drives, river regattas and folk fests that will culminate in November. Enthusiastic tourism officials predict that the number of out-of- state license plates on the roads will top last year's by as much as 10%. Roadside...

...McIntyre is no longer the biggest fish in the industry pond. His rivals are crowding him. Timberline was earning $500,000 a year before four employees left to form InterFluve in Bozeman in 1984. Another recent start-up, Jim Walsh's Stream Team in Longmont, Colo., has begun hooking big contracts like a six-year job Walsh has with the A Bar A guest ranch in southern Wyoming, rehabilitating a creek that flows into the North Platte River...
