Five years ago tho first number Of
tho PElmINA PIONEER was issued
from this town by Messrs. Gatchell
and Brown. It was the first news.
paper printed north Of Grand Forks
and began it, career when Pembina

latton 1t now has. We have not space
this week to dwell upon the growth
and improvementof Pembina town, the
many fine buildings erected, the buni.
nee1 interests that have grown up.
In that time, or TO note the many
other towns that have sprung into
existence here and there within the
area over which the PIONEER ExpRRss
now circulates 30 largely. Suffice it
to say that this development is some.
thing . remarkable in itself as It is
indicative Of the bright future there is
for Q country Of such rich resources
in the hands ofan enterprising popu.
lation.
hApril 1881 the Pioneer was con.
solidated with thd Northern Express,
which had acquired a large circulation
considering the length of time it had
been established, (since December
1881 The PIONEER EXPRESS then
entered upon a period of prosperity
which rested on a firmer basis, and It
begins Volume Six with prospects
better assured than ever before.
Though, in common with other lines of
business it has felt the force of the
present stringent times, yet it hopes
to share in the return Of greater pros.
perity generally to the people whose
interests it has endeav0red faithfully
to serve.
