NEW NEWSPAPERS

River, is the publisher. 1t is to he

Of the county will he we'll balanced
with the east with newspapers.
This multiplicity of newspapers
must result in one or two things, eth.
Ell some of the papers must die or the
quality must deteriorate. If every

that is all it will have. Too much
water has its certain effect on rail.
roads, whiskey and newspapers. Moth.
ing is trucr than that Il newspaper
cannot rise above its support any
more than the stream can rise higher
than the fountain. \ newspaper in
every town means local support only,
and local support means only Il local
paper. These remarks, however, are
not meant for the Chronicle particu.
larly; it is free country and the
Chronicle has just us much right to
start out at Cavalier as we have to
continue to publish the PIONEER Ex.
PRESS, and if the newspaper level gets
somewhat crowded, why there's room
up higher, provided we have the
means to fly. One fact, however. we
have noted in the establishment of
newspapers in the west, is, that all
these new towns think a newspaper is
,ess.a, in to prosperity. But just as
starts up local weekly, then nearly
everybody finds All individual reason
why the paper is of no use. and but
few have word of encouragement
for the poor devil who perhaps runs !.
much better paper than they pay him
for. This is one of the ways of this
western world and it is one of the
queer ways too. Down east, they do
it differently-we know towns of 1000
people without local paper, and
counties of 10000 with allalf dozen OF
80 only. and the people are well edu.
Gated too. Sometimes. down there.
an editor gets pretty well off too, if he
is real saving. Nobody knows a ricl,

while, it will simply he the survival OF

gracefully to our fate.

The Immigration Board.

The following series Of questions are
being issued by the board in sheet form
for the purpose Of gathering actual and
reliable results of farming in this valley,
and 1t seems to us when gathered and
published in pamphlet form, will make
the most convincing argument that can
he put before immigrants to turn their
footsteps this way. While these ques.
ton sheets will be sent out 10 different
farmers, yet the committee will be glad
to have any of our readers send them
their answers TO the questions whether
they get special request Or net. We need
not add that this work is for everybody's
benefit. These pamphlets will be circu.
lated back east AMI familiar name of
some old neighbor who testifies of his
own experience in this valley, will do
much to induce others to come and

time is quick, trains do not have to run At
as high rate ofspeed to make their

shorter than any other line.
In addition to these facts. this is the only

Perhaps this pension business is
somewhat expensive: it may be there
are some undeserving men, who are
receiving pensions, but there is one
thing certain, these pensioners scatter
a good deal of money around the
country, and in that way, other people
with whom they trade get the benefit.
Then again in many cases, the town.
ships and counties are saved the ex.
pense Of supporting these old veter.
ans III the poor.llouse-so the benefits
of liber al pensions, are not entirely to

q few Of these northwestern pathtnders
left, and they IRE getting scattered.
When Nelson first went up to Pembina
to look after the interests of the customs
department, Commodore Kittson was
acti, ely interested in that country and
travelled through there with trains OF
bull carts and shipped goods up and
down the Red river.-Pioneer Press.
Jud LaNloure and his wife are at the
MeE.na;, with their trio Of little boys.
OF the .ay the three boys took in the
row in the city under the guidance of
nd CT grandfather. Hon. n. l.. Nelson, of
ngmbina. II the theory of the Sage of
etininger and DIR. Lnndon Carter GRAY is
correct, that the blending of ruccs in the
northwest will result in producing the
future great men Of America, there
should be brilliant future awaiting
these La Moure boys. From their fl.
tilcr they receive the French blood that
is indicated by his name and also the
blood of the HUDSON river Van ReEsel-
aers. Their maternal grandfather is IL
Norwegian and very proud OF il, although
there is nothing in Ills appearance or
accent to indicate that he is other than
an American. This makes rare fusion
OF races, and, with the sasacty tl,nt they
will naturally fall heir to, the boys ough,
togct along in the world. Il
"How many candidates are there for
United States senator" asked the report
or. "Well, since Sitting Bull got killed
there is one less" said MIR. La Mourr.
"But you can figure on every living citi-
zen in North Dakota being after the pos
ltion. Now don't want you to sup.
pose that because there are number OF
Dakota people here to-day that they are
up any political scheme. am down
here with my family for the purpose of
taking my boys to school, not on any
political deal"

the statement, but his faith was ru,lely
