Governor Pierce's Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Col. GilhprtA. Pierce
governor OF Dakota, llas n,ade lis annual re-
pert Va lhe secretary Of the interior, showing
tho material progress Of that territory during
the past year. A large proportion Of the re-
port Is devoted to quotations and cemDarissns
OF facts exhibited by the returns Of the territor-
ial census taken last summer. The population
OF the territory is now 4l6, ,OOO as against 1885,
lSo when the federal census was taken in 1850
The governor gays the year has been very
prosperous one for the territory. Not only have
the crops been excellent but the prices com.
manded have been very much greater than
those realized year ago. The result Is a buoy
ancy OF feeling on the part of the people most
encouraging and reassuripg, As q whole, the
farmers were meyer 50 prosperous as at present.
With single exception In the case Of wheat,
the aggregate yield Of small grains for 1856 is
largely in excess Of that Of tho preceding year.
The reduction in the acreage Of wheat was
caused by the low price Of the staples in 1854.
Surveys for number Of new Apes Of railroads
mayo been maao during the year, and the COVER
nor believes that another twelve months will
sec many new enterprises of this character un
der headway or completed. The territory has
developed number of manufactures, The
establishments within the past few years en-
brace woolen mills, Touring mills, guarries,
brewerles, machine sAsps. etc. Reference Is
made 70 the constitutional convention held this
fall, and the governor bespeaks kindly hear
ing by congress Of the appeal for admission to
H.
the unlsn made by the people Of the territory,
ana a long argument is made in support Of the
application. Attention ia directed 10 the neces-
sity Of protecting the school lands Of Dakota
from squatters, and it is recommended that
tho territorial government be authorized to
take possession Of and control them. The cx-
istence Of vast Indian reservations is said 10 be
source Of trouble and yexation, and the GOV.
ernor suggests that these reservations be cut
up and the land given to the Indians In sever
atty. The hope is expressed that the govern
ment will reimburse those settlers who went
upon the old Crow Creek reservation in good
faith and were ordered off by the presidents
proclamation. The territorial tax lovy for all
purposes, including interest on tho public debt,
was but three mills during the present year,
and the financial condition Of the territory is
said to he cause for aongratulation. Immigra-
ton to the territory has been very large during
the year, and colonies Of considerable size from
Pennsylvania and other eastern states have
purchased tracts Of land. The death rate was
$40 to tho 1000, which Is said to be among
the smallest in tLe United States

We have always contended that Steele was
the banner county Of Dakota. Her people may
not be given to blowing SO much as their neigh
bors, but when it comes to raising wheat or
meeting their obligations they never take a
back seat Mr.. Horace Hance, of the firm Of
D. S. D. Johnston, Son d Co., Of st. Paul, who
probably lave made more mortgage loans in
North Dakota than any ether one firm engaged
in the business, while In Hope last week stated
that out of over l50 loans made by his firm in
Steele county, ithas been necessary to foreclose
only six, while in some other counties out Of
not larger number Of loans as many as sixty
have been foreclosed.

in Hope. Fifty-five votes were polled, all of

not hold an election by himself, and SO went

The fall of an inch or more Of snow Non
day evening, covering the country with man
tie Of white, almonis!,es Us that the hitting
frosts OF winter will soon be upon US. All the
probabilities favor heavy snow falls during the
winter, for the reason that last winter the
snowfall was exceedingly light and the fall
has been an unusually dry one. Should such
be the case, 1t is not impossible that at times
the railroad may be blockaded We allude to
this matter in order to call the attention of
farmers to the necessity Of laying in their sup
ply Of fuel for the winter. 1t is better to make
liberal provision aud have fuel left over than
to run any risk OF not having sufficient, and in
case of a blockade find that the supply of fuel
IN lown has become eshaltstcd. OF course our
coal dealers cannot be expected to lay in heavy
stocks and take the risk OF having to carry
the stock ever into the spring and summer.
Let farmers order their supplies early, so that
dealers may gauge their orders accordingly.

Why Can't nops Nave n Flour sr,1,

Why Can't Fope naye a Flour Mill 2
At intervals during the past two years the
PIONEER has advocated the building of flour
mill in Hope. We havo pointed out the great
advantages which would accrue to our mer
chants, business men, and farmers by the cree
ton of good Touring mill. While all have
admitted tna cotreetness Of our proposition,
and some few have taken al active interest in
the matter, the majority were apathetic in re-
gard to the matter. But the present season
has demonstrated mere clearly than any argu-
ment the great benefit which would have ac
crued to our people had we had an open wheat
market here the same as las prevailed at Page,
Clifford ami NUMEROUS other psnts throughout
the territory. 1t is well known that farmers
have in many instances received as much as
five cents per bushcl more than the market
price hy the competition in wheat buying at
points where there is an open market. But
While II does MT fool!ew that the building Of
mill here would enhance the price OF wheat
as much as five cents, it is certain that where
mills arc located farmers who raise good wheat
can always command from one to two cents
more than the elevators pay. Flour mills can
afford and do offer a premium for choice grades
Of wheat, AND thHs theFe ia an INCENTIVE Of.
fered for careful farming, But the psint we
desire 10 make at the present timo is the in
creased business that would DO brought to
Hope had we good mill We believe that
now is a good time to agitate this question. we
know that the increased price paid at Clifford
and Page has diverted a considerable amount
Of grain to those points that should haze come
70 Hone. ana Yhile ths loss OF trade 10 any in
dlyldual concern may not have been large, in
the aggregate it would amount to something
handsome. Our merchants and business men
are as liberal, as active, as enterprising as any
in Dakota, and if they will only will It, we
belieYe there will La no trouble in raising sui-
1clent money to insure the erection of good
mill at Hope before the next harvest. In this
connection we desire to say that gentleman
who owns farm near Hope and some town
property, pleges himself to give $50 toward
such pre- siect, and business hlan here has
authorized us to say that they will give S10O
to fund to be raised for that purpose.

II is in part to the business college
that we must look for remedy for
this state of affairs. These schools
when properly con lncted, lay the foun-

instruction in All the more useful bran

do all in your power to teach your
