THE PIONEER PRESS BUREAU OF
CLAIMS,

SEStH9s
F or the Speedy and Economical Settlement
OF All Valid Claims Against the United
States Government.
The enterprise and public spirit of
the ST. Paul Pioneer Press has never
been more forcibly illustrated than
in the establishment of what is known
as the pioneer Press Bureau of
Claims with headquarters in st.
Paul and Washington, d. c., through
which claims Of all sorts against the
government may be pushed, at a
minimum OF expense and a maximum
of expedition and economy. Under
the offer made by the Pioneer Press,
any person living in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, North Dakota or Montana
having legal business of any kind
requiring attention at the seat of
government, can avail himself of
these advantages. In order to render
it possible for the poorest of mankind
to make an Intelligent and systematic
effOIt to secure his just dues from
the government, whose network of
official red tape so often strangles
deserving cases, the "Pioneer Press
Bureau Of Claims" proposes TO make
pO charge whatever for services
unless successful in whole OF in part

fees will he more moderate than
have ever obtained for like work in
the past.
We are Informed that in this enter.
prise the Pioneer Press has associated
itself with those brilliant and pro-
gressive types OF Western journalism
the San Francisco Examiner and the
ulnalIa Bee. With the Idea of
making it II national affair the entire
country is to be divided up between
u limited number of newspapers OF
the highest class. A special effOrt
Willie made to successfully prosecute
pension, Indian depreciation, land,
patents. mining and postal claims,
and with the assurance offered by
the well known business, financial
and political standing, not only OF
the Pioneer Press, but its associates
in the new enterprise, It is easy to

MINNESOTA AND sTsVEAs COUNTY

1t is now admitted by all impartial
men that Minnesota is one Of the
best, if not the very best agricultural
state in the union. Add to this the
high altitude and consequent dry
atmosphere, aid we have the most
desirable state fer home seekers in
the unioh.
When we write about this great
and glorious state it might not be a.
miss TO say few woidS about Stevens
County. This County is in the prairie
region of the state; it is high dry and
healthy; the land is rich loam with
clay SubS,ii. There IS no waste land
in the county; and when we consider
the beautiful climate, and the rapid
growth Of all kinds of CEREALS We may
he par0uned Tor considering it one of
the best counties in the stale.
Tue wild grasses of this region are
most nutritious and cattle are fat.
tened On them without any aid, for
the eastern market. The abundant
supply IF water which can be found
everywhere Through the county is
another most desirable object. The
best estimates made OIL this year 5
crops give an average of 20 bushels
of wheat to the acre, or nearly Il
million bushels for the county, while
we know of large fields of oats that
will yield leo bushels to the acre.
Flax cannot yet he correctly esti'
mated, but is the heaviest crop We
have ever had of that article.
Stock raising is second only to
wheat in this county; men of expe-
rience have said that they never saw
SO much fine stock on the same space
OF grOuLd us this county can show.
This is not confined to one branch,
Yet fac breeds of horses aid cattle
predominant.
The county is well intersected with
r,.il"o;tds, passing as they do through
half the towns OF the county; while
the common roads are of the best
quality. There are schools in every
Town in the county, with churches
enough To meet the demands of all.
The population of the county is
composed of Americans, Scandira-
,,;.,,,c Jri.I, H.rp,.pc .u6 Snat,.k il,
the order named. The society is good
and no question of nationality is ever
raised. We all live i'll the greatest
harmony together, aud would not
wish any change. The farmers OF
the county are us u general rule gett
ing rich; they own their own farms
aud are now buying for their sons
though all came here as poor a!
poverty could make them.
The land has been going begging
fox years here at $500 per acre, now
the days of cheap lands are numbered
and those who did not buy sometime
ago feel like kicking themselves
The tide of Immigration that has Sc
i'll this season is surprising; and VIII!
shouldn't it be- We are within ;
few hours of the great cities of St
Paul and Minneapolis, with compel
sng rail roads to bring our produce t
these cities or to Duluth land to brin!

There is not in all this broad Ian,
brighter or better openings for happ
homes than Stevens county possesses

How APUZZLE Was SOLV b

When you want a certain article, you wan
the best make of that article, don't your
But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for you,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't your
And You would like to hear Of one puz-
zle that has been solved for the people of
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1889 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world, including those of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by q
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts, two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize Of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as q further
recognition of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross Of the Legion Of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor Of the No. 8 and No. 10 Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No. 0, for family use, and the No. 10,
for manufacturing uses, are the best in the
world to-day.
And now, when you want sewing ma
chine, il you do not get the best, it win be
your own fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. Wheeler & Wilson machine, and il he
does not keep them, write to us for descrip-
tive catalogue, prices and terms.

The young ladies VINO 90 to college or
those who failed TO win the prize have no
complaints to make against The GAZETTE.
Neither have their friends who did the
voting. hence | cannot see why the News
SHOULD worry about il.
The "sympathy'' Of the News for the
Dear People" who did the voting for tue
young ladies reminds me of the ''sNmpa-
thy expressed by certain "cattle king
of Texas Il few years ago for the Dear
People tfarmers) who were induced to
go West" for cheap land and homes.
The said cattle king worried u great
deal about the suffering Of the poor people,
that is he tried to make believe he did, but
the real cause of his trouble was that he
was afraid the days of free grass would be
sh6ftened by the ''man with hoe going
West. He really didn't give "d-n' what
become of the Dear People" whether
they ever had a home or not 1t was his
own personal interest he was trying 10 pro
