4 pioneer IN Fact as Ven as in Name:

The March number of The Northwest maya
zine gives some interesting facts in connection
with the growth and progress Of the Pioneer
Press. 1t says:
''The Pioneer Press establishment is more
than a private enterprise-it, is an institution
which has always been identified with every
phase Of the rapid developing civilization OF
which it WAS in fact as well as IN nSme' the
pioneer.
"TGE PIONEER PRESS As 4 NEWSPAPER
stands forth as 3 strikicg ILLUSTRATION or the
growth and prosperity, not alone OF the cities OF
St. Paul and Minneapolis, but OF the empire OF
states and territories Of which these cues are
the center and type. With the first dawn OF po-
Gtioal life in the northwest, In lst9' the St
Paul Weekly Pioneer made It's appearance lis
founder being the famous James NJ, Gooohue,
aHd from that germ has grown and eossomed
the Pioneer Press of to-day. Other Journals
have come and gone in endless procession, and
their very names are almost forgotten, put the
Pioneer Press has continued Its r~eslstless march
"Ihe Pioneer Press traces Its lineage from
the Pioneer, established April -, lSiS' and from
the st. Paul Press, founded on the first OF Jan
usry 1861. The Pioneer displayed q sn&p and
vigor that soon enabled IT to oUtsalne and alb
serb all its democratic rivals, and 1t grew into a
strong and self-sustaininE journal. The St.
Paul Press IN turn, absorbed the NepnohcaA pa
pers that proceeded II, and this paper, under the
management Of the present proprietors Of the
Pioneer Press soon commenced that career Of
marvellous prosperity which is scarcely parallel

tWenty-three years 1t has never ceased to gro"

Mrs. Scowdrick is to have life-right in
certain parts of it.
This case, which has been before the
Register for some time, was on the q ues-
