In the 20th century its reporting intersected with events involving the United States Congress, the Department of the Interior (United States), and federal land use decisions affecting the Bureau of Land Management and the United States Forest Service. The paper documented regional responses to New Deal programs, wartime mobilization tied to Fort Warren (Wyoming), Cold War developments affecting nearby military installations, and energy booms related to the Powder River Basin coalfields and later oil and gas plays connected to companies such as ConocoPhillips and Chevron Corporation.
