that the Rcd aud Rcd Lake rivers, giving

the Red Lake region. make this nat
ural point for the manufacture of lumber.
With the present advantages Of a To-
cation on navigablc river and her pros
pectlve opportunities for superior railroad
facilities, We think it does not require
the discern,Eent Of a prophet to see that
Pembina will take her place with Fargo,
Grand Forks and Winnipeg as the pre-
dominant cities of Red River Valley.
Besides railroad facilities. Pembina
has connections by two lines of steamers
with Fargo, and Grand Forks and with
Winnipeg. 1t las a daily stage line to
Ncche, run by F.W. Felson, daily line
to Hamilton, by Thos. Connell, and a tri.
weekly to Drayton by Aaron Walker.
We give herewith cut of Pe,nbina's
school building, which was built in 1882
at a cost of $l2, QUO. It Is a substantial,
brick structure with very conveniently
arranged apartments above and below
and is finely fitted and furnished
throughout. It has three departments
conducted by Mr.. P. Ahern rs principal,
with Misses Naylor and Tl,acker in
charge of the intermediate and primary
departments. We think We may safely
say that there are few schools of this clasl
either in the east or west, conducted
with greater intelligence, enthusiasm and
success. This result is that Pembina'l
school pri, ileges are sought by many
nonresident pupils, especially in III.
winter.

The people Of Pembina county consist
of A few hundred half breeds, WHO are
mostly farmers; about a thousand or
more Icelander, who are quiet, educat-
ed, honest and thrifty people. They
arc fast becoming Americanized and the
second generation will scarcely be dis

ber of Norwegians and Germans are
scattered In various localities and as
usual make first class settlers and good

however, are immigrants from Canada,
and . large proportion Of these from
Ontario, and they bsing with them the
industrious and thrifty habits and the
religious and educational instincts of
the home they have left.
Churches and schools are consequently
numerous and the white frame school

one of Odd Fellows, one Grand Army
post, and one militia company.
Pe,nbina's present railroad facilities are
those of the st. Paul, Minneapolis 4
Manitoba road, the depot being on the
east bank from the town, at st. Vincent.
The geographical position, however, is
destined to give her important advant-
ages in this particular, being OIL direct
line between the metropolis Of Dakota,
Fargo, and the large and growing city Of
Grand Forks on the south and the great
metropolis of the Canadian northwest.
AS one or more trunk lines from the
south will, without doubt, soon seek to
connect these cities and Winnipeg, Penn
bina's opportunities for better railroad
connection can scarcely be questioned.
The Duluth and Winnipeg road, recently
recognized for work, whose Minnesota
charter fixes the terminus on the oppo-
site bank Of the Red river from Pelnbina.
will undoubtedly take the west bank to
Winnipeg, connecting with our town.

Penbina County.

This section of the Red River Valley -

by Minnesota, from which it is separated
by the Red River, south by Walsh coun-
tv and west by Cavileer county. II occu-
pies the extreme northeast corner of
Dakota and lies in the center of the Red
River valley. 1t is about 80 miles north
and south, and Of nh average distance of
50 miles east and west, and contains about
1000 square miles. or 100000 acres.
The surface from the Red River along

pearance of n level plain which, howeves,l

ly parallel with the line of the river at
an average distance of 25 to 30 miles.
These hills, or mountains" as they are
called locally, are elevations of from so to
100 feet in height and are really sort sl
plateau or terrace formation, whose steep
sides are usually covered with brush or
timber, but whose broad tops form q
slightly rolling surface, with land. wood
and water very similar in quantity and
quality to the valley proper. From these
elevations through numerous ravines and
ooulees come streams which, uniting,
form the larger streams called the Penn
bina, Tongue and Park rivers and their
numerous branches. Tie banks Of
these rivers are very generally covered for
from one to three miles with heavy
growth of timber, consisting of oak, bass-
wood, elm. willow and box-elder. Wild
pluns aud high busl, cranberries are also
plentiful.
The quality Of soil and products are
elsewhere stated, but taking the three
requisites for farming, Wig: wood, water,
and land, the county of Pe,nbina has no
superior in the Red river valley.
Its past history shows it to have been

herds of buffalo, aud consequently the
Indian occupies conspicuous place ia
