Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1883-1884, 1883-02-23

And now comes the information
that Bucheit Bros, quite well known in
this county, are to start an agricultural
implement house in this place, and that
they have already started several car
loads from South Bend, Ind. They will
also operate their farm in the Red Willow
Lake region.
DIR. Virgo and his good wife will
please stand up while tney receive the
COURIER s blessing for that little donat-
ion. BY the way. Mr.. Virgo has opened
his stock of drugs in Mr.. Melville's build
ing, where he will be pleased to meet any
and all needing goods in his line. For
particulars consult his adv. on the fifth
page.
The Sheyenne bridge will be con-
structed one mile south of Marden, at Il
point called Johnson S crossing, on the di-
rect route between Cooperstown and
Hope. Work will be commenced as soon
as it is possible to get material on the
ground, and the commissioners trust to
see it completed ere the spring boom of
surging waters get along.
The COURIER is pleased to acknowl-
edge the receipt of four copies of the
Hope Pioneer and friendly notice of
our newspaper efforts. We might also
manifest our appreciation OF the little
EDITORS reprehensory attempts directed
at our sheet, though we can hardly re-
frain from speaking of said paragraphs
as the most abortive attempts at salcrsm
it has been our lot to read for some time.
The Pioneer evidently seeks notoriety
through controversy with the widely
circulated official paper of the county.
From fraternal feeling we might grant
the Pioneer little attention, but upon
looking it's columns over we cannot see
wherein the editor has said anything,
aside from reciting a few locals in the
usual hum-drum style. AL told there
is less than one column of original matter
in the Pioneer, and yet the presuming
young man at the helm expects the
COURIER to find merit enough in it to
warrant our giving him little free ad-
vertising. Our rates are $l.25 per inch
a month, sir.

To the Courier.

Two girls sat in twilight gray.
And watched the tltful tirelight play.
And talked of things the COURIER told.
of how, though young, it seemed so bold.
For news this paper's most complete,
To read it through is quite treat.
1t tells of news the country round.
And most of all "booms" Cooperstown.
A leader il is bound to be,
And have Dakota's sympathy.
In all good work twill surely guide.
And with the right will ever side.
And surely you will all maintain
To take this journal, is but gain.
And when its pages you unfold.
You'll find ii worth its weight in gold.
just here to our editor we'll give place.
And once again lie may "turn his face"
To lure by tlattery is not our plan,
But for his place he's just the man.
just now we need n man at helm
Whom the tide of evil cannot oerwhclm.
We feel that we have such man there.
In the shrewd, entcrprisng manager Stair.
And then the true mission of the press,
Without u doubt he has already guessed;
To defend the good, and check the bad.
IL the choicest privilege that man e'er had.
Yes! without Il saloon our town Gun 30,
All honor to him who will tell him so;
And show that without such fatal den,
Our town will have more lio, o able mcn.
And now perchancc this say will do;
We generally know when we are through
Ii any one thinks this not enough,
Perhaps We'll try and write puff.
Though it's not our style to make believe,
Or engage in ought that would deceive;
We feel compelled to rise and explain,
That what we've said We do not feign.

C00PERST0WN INSTITUTE
And District School House to he
Erected at Once.
Plans Of the Building and its Probable Cost.

Wherever you find education you will
meet an intelligent, refined and law
abiding community. Aristotle once said:
"All who have meditated on the art of
governing mankind, have been convinced
that the fate of empires depends upon
the education of YOUTH To certain
extent cannot the same words be applied
to counties, municipalities and commune
ties? 1t is well known fact that i'm a
hundred men. there are more than ninety
who are what they are, be it good or bad,
useful OF pernicious to society, from the
instruction they have received. An in
telligent class are rarely indolent or vi
cious. Education to the mind is what
cleanliness is to the body. knowledge
Is progressive, and Cooperstown people
are fully alive the fact that good schools
are of vital interest. The minds of our
young must be carefully, skillfully de-
veloped, to perform which requires time,
labor and money. Cooperstown stands
ready, and is meeting the requirements
by the erection OF an editice of learning
that will stand us Il perpetual monument
to the little city's intelligence. Though
only three months old the district will
soon boast of Il more spacious and better
equipped school house than is possessed
by many towns whose years oltnumber
her days.
The plans and specifications as drawn
by Architect Philippe are for a building
81 feet square, to be placed on solid
stone foundation. 1t will be 26 feet from
foundation to plate, with a high roof and
tower, or belfry. The tower will be IS
feet tall with Il mansard roof and an Or
namental iron balustrade. The school
rooms will be 3Ox4O feet in dimensions.
with a seating capacity of Is to 100 schol-
ars each, the upper room having a reci-
tation department in connection. The
halls will be lOx4O feet. Completed the
edilice will cost from 5000 to Sic, 900, as
money will not be stinted where actual
requirements are to be considered. The
board held Il meeting Monday for the
purpose of letting the carpenter work,
and the following report, kindly sent us
by the district clerk, Mr.. f. nj. Rockwell,
explains their action:
AT a meeting of the school board of
District No. 4 (Cooperstown) held Mon
day afternoon, proposals for the carpen-
ter work in the erection of the school
building we're duly considered. Sealed
proposals We're received from the follow
ing contractors, viz: James Muir, $3.50;
A. NJ. Motfat, S7S4; Philippe 4 Kent,
$3.50. Philippe Il Kent's proposition
being the lowest figure the contract was
awarded to this firm. The Coopcrstown
Institute would have been substantially
built by amy of the above named parties,
and we are assured that under the ecareful
and thorough management of Philippe
Il Kent we shall secure building which
will be substantially and thoroughly COLI

Premature Explosion Causing Death.

Says the Roseburg Plaindealer: The sad
news reached us this week that another
serious accident took place on the lst of this
month in tunnel No s, at the front, on the
o. s c. R. r. extension, resulting in the
death OF two nen!nanled Sibley and Whitten
and the serious injury of two other men.
The men had sprung blast twice and had
placed powder in the hole the third time,
probably before the bottom part Of the hole
had been cooled, that caused the premature
explosion Of the powder, which proved so
disastrous to those at work. One man who
was struck in the head by number of rocks
inAicting painful though not dangerous
wounds, was lifted up four or five feet, and
others barely escaped with their lives. Mr..
Whitten's brother, who is quite an infuen-
tlal citizen Of San Francisco, came up this
week to take the remains of his unfortunate
brother for final interment to the Golden
State.
