We are pleased to announce that Mr..
Herbert Strain. ofStrain Bros, Minot, is
about closing bargain with B. ]. Webb
for the stock of goods in the corner store
and for the lease ofthe building in which
they are contained. Mr. Strain is well
known to our citizens for his business
ability, and they will be glad to welcome
him back to Pembina. We believe that
Mr.. Strain will be successful in his new
venture and his enterprise will create
sufficient new business, not only to help
himself but be n great addition to the
business Of the town.
AT the meeting Of the city council on
Monday no business Of especial impor.
lance was transacted. Several bills re-.
lating to the replanking of the bridge
were referred to the finance committee.
Matter Of a public cemetery was discuss.
ed but nothing definite decided upon.
The petition for sidewalk on Chippewa
street was accepted and a walk is to be
built. The council decided not to build
walk OH Stutsman street as there was no
way of compelling owners to pay for
walk, rs most of the lots have gone to the
county on tax deeds.
The native.born Icelander E. H. Berg
man, of Pembina, who was defeated by
one vote for railroad commissioner by Mr.,
Bartlett, of Griggs, is one of the best men
of the solid type in all North Dakota.
He was one of the men who stood by
Frank Aikens in the last legislature, and
under that gentleman's brilliant leader
ship he never missed vote on the side
of the people. 1t is unjust to mix him
up in any body's combine...... Banker
Booker, of Pembina, will make first
class treasurer. and in the construction of
the first state ticket it was eminently fit
ting that old Pembina, pioneer Pembina,
should lie remembered. 1t would have
been all wrong to have left out the oldest
settlement in both Dakotas.-Pioneer
Press.
On Monday about nine o'clock, the
main part of the garrison of IT. Pembina
marched through town with knapsacks
and blankets strapped to their backs, ac.
companicd by their officers OH horse
back and three four-mule army wagons.
1t looked very much like old war times
to see the long files Of soldiers marching
to the sound of the bugle. The boys
didn't look so bright and cheerful as they
might. Perhaps the steady down-pour of
rain and muddy roads had some effect OH
their spirits. Their destination is in the
vicinity Of Walallla. They expected to
make their first camp about eight miles
from here. and to march sixteen miles a
day after. Up to Thursday they have had
very unpleasant weather for picnicing.
M,aSsRs. Joe LaPorte and Jud Winches-
ter, of Pembina, visited our city tins
week. MIR. LaPortc is the nominee of
the Pembina county republican conven-
ton for clerk of the court by umani-
nous vote. We knew Mr.. I.aIorte seven.
