PREPARES FOR WAR.

The X-Rays man at Hamilton got war
like last week and thus closes an unique
and amusing editorial.
Some may decry war. True, it is a
terrible evil but there are worse things to
take. and one of them is an. insult from
any aberrant jackass from the plain OF
CASTLE and Leon. who skulks behind the
prestige of his ancient lineage. We may
be acused as nation of blowing our own
horn too much-but there'll come time
some day when even Gabriel will be ac-
cused of that. Be that as it may, history
has proven that the Americans have al
ways managed to give their enemies all
that appeared on the big bills-even if
thew had to sacrifice their fathers to do it.
In case Of war we could mobilize over a
million men for action. True, before the
termination-o of hostilities there may not
be enough left for seed, but as long as
Bros. Wardwell and Willson-and Jim
Blackjack and Grant Hager are left be-
hind we will shoulder musket when the
first shot is fired, feeling sure of the race
being preserved"

lier has an easy task before it. If all the
people of Bathgate are as disinterested
as Editor Wilson says he is, and all the
people of Hamilton are as earnest in
their efforts to remove the county seat to
Cavalier as is Peter Mcmillan, and if st.
Thomas and Neche and Walhalla and
Crystal feel the same way, then Cavalier
will have large majority, and ought in
a very few years, with this prestige of
good feeling and the county seat, to be-
come the largest and best town in the
county, and control the bulk Of trade
W thin radius Of many miles. In fact it
would not be improbable, or illogical,
if most of the business men in the 'little
towns" near by, would find it to their in
terest to follow the county-seat to the
great center of good feeling and trade.
In fact the exodus has already received
one notable accession of this sort. He
went from Drayton few weeks ago, to
grow up with the new metropolis, and
blow up its gas plant. Drayton's loss is
Cavaliers gain, and is in itself proof of
the truth of Mr.. Fairchilds assertion that
no rivalry but the utmost good feeling
for Cavalier is felt by the business men
of the other ''little" towns, and that they
will probably mostly all follow later, and
will sign a petition for the removal ofthe
county seat and themselves to Cavalier,
every time such petition may be pre-
sented.

r,HE WAR NEWS.
respect.

There is little change in the tenor of
the war news. Rightly or wrongly it
seems to be the general assumption that
the disaster to the Maine was not the re-
suit of accident. Another irritating event
this week was the suggestion of Spain
that Consul General Lee should be re-
called, a suggestion that WAS promptly
refused by the President. Fortunately
Spain did not make it formal demand
or it might have caused trouble. The
United States is sending two ship loads
OF provisions to the starving Cubans.
Spain objected to these provisions being
brought by regular battle ships of the
navy. So the matter was compromised
by sending the provisions on ship that
only mounts one gun. There is no tell
ing when the report OF the inquiry board
will be made. Meantime the govern
ment has practically thrown off all dis
guise and is openly and rapidly getting
together all sorts of warlike supplies,
and has sent agents to Europe to get op-
tions on available warships that are be-
Ing built there. The greatest and most
significant event of the week was on
Tuesday, when the House unanimously
and with great enthusiasm voted to ap-
propriate $50, 90, ,0Oo for defense and SUBJ
ject to the order of the President. The
significance of this event was not that il
necessarily means war, but. that when it
comes to the defense of this country
there are no populists, no democrats, no
republicans, all are Americans and It
is everyway probable that the unanimous
vote of such sum will do much to pre-.
vent war. Summing up, we think that
we are nearer war than we were week
ago. and it seems to US that tine strain is
too great to last much longer without an
outbreak.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1898-03-11
POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES.

Way up here in the northern interior
of the country, equally distant from the
oceans on either side, we are as far as
possible removed from any direct losses
or injury in case of war with Spain, and
we can look with comparative safety on
the grim, possible consequences. On the
other hand, war is an expensive form of
argument, in money, and whether sue
cessful or defeated, the cost will be enor-
nous. In fact it is truer now than ever
before, that money is one of the chief sim
ews of war. Time was, that the soldier
went into the forest and cut his own sim
pie weapons, or the village blacksmith
forged the sword, spear and battle-ax.
Now, battle on land or sea is fought
with long range rifles, heavy ordinance,
and great, floating machine-shops that
hurl tons of iron at broadside with hun
dreds of pounds of powder, and the mere
money cost of these and other accesso-
ries of modern warfare does much to
keep the peace between nations, and in
case of war with Spain, we of North Da-
kota share the loss. Again, in these mod
ern days, the fighting machinery is large
ly new and untried. A war with Spain
would mean largely a naval fight. Their
navy is apparently about the same in
strength and number as our own, but a
few real trials of strength may develop a
fatal weakness in the ships of either ma
ton, and such weakness cannot be re-
paired in so short a time as such war
must necessarily exist. The modern
war-ship cannot be built in weeks and
days; it takes months and years, and it
is quite possible that we might find our
navy at great disadvantage from sucf,
causes.
We have thousands of miles of expos
ed sea-board, on which are scattered
along hundreds of cities and towns which
are utterly and completely at the mercy
of even wooden frigate, so far as forti-
fication goes, and whose only defense
would be the few ships of our own navy.
An enemy's ship could in a few weeks
time. run along the Atlantic coast, and
ii unmolested by our own men-of-war,
collect millions of dollars otindemnity, or
failing in this destroy millions OF dollars
worth of property, and North Dakota
would at least incidently share this loss.
That lives in battle, and in that deadly
climate of Cuba, would be lost, would be
a certainty and North Dakota to its glory
and sorrow would share these losses.
Thousands OF men who are now pro-
ducers of wealth, would become its great
est spendthrifts, for the soldier and sail
or are not on.y unproductive but they
are expensive, and the burden of their
cost comes on the remaining people.
War is Serious and expensive matter,
iull of woe and sorrow, whose victories
are losses, and whose defeats are dis
grace, and yet, sometimes, peace may
be more serious, because of greater dis
grace, and because of the loss of self

"SMOKED OUT"

The newly imported editor of the Cava-
ller Chronicle takes half column of ed
itorial to tell what an antiquated, old
granny the PIONEER EXPRESS editor is,
and how wrong it is for us to criticise
anything emanating from the Chronicle
on the county seat question. The Dray-
ton Chronicle man seems to forget, that
whether we were right or wrong in our
criticisms, that we published the "pros-
pectus" of the Cavalier people in full. so
that everybody had an opportunity to
read for themselves as to the extent of
our misrepresentation, if any. The criti-
cism we made was, that the general tone
and most of the specifications of the
Chronicle article, were intended to make
the people of other towns believe, that
they were greatly interested in "having
vote" and that any other town had an
equal chance with Cavalier in case of a
vote. The Chronicle says we we're wrong
in such criticism. Well, those who read
the Cavalier prospectus can Judge for
themselves.
However, this week, the Chronicle
comes out quite fat-tooted, and now the
county may know the true platform of
Cavalier, which by the way, is now hon
est and fair and no one blames them for.
Here are the principal pianks as given
by last weeks Chronicle.
"Neither would Cavalier pretend at
any time that she is working for the re-
moval of the county seat to any other
town than Cavalier. Nor secure signers
to the petition under any pretext that she
expects voters to cast their ballots in fav-
or of their home town." Cavalier is
not afraid to have it known that sne ex-
poets to win in the coming contest"
Just as closer to this, and to prove
that the PIONEER EXPRESS was correct
in its criticism, and to show that the
Chronicles present, apparent honesty
was forced to the surface by that criti-
cism, we again copy part of the origin
al prospectus, and ask the candid read
er to contrast it with the above.
''The general sentiment of the meeting
was in favor of the removal of the county
seat from its present location TO THE
MOST CENTRAL POINT IN THE COUNTY.
THAT THE INTERESTS OF THE WHOLE
PEOPLE, RESIDENT WITHIN THE COUNTY.
MAY BE REGARDED AND RIGHrFULLY SUB
SERVED THEREBY"
''rhere can be no question as to the
interest which the people FROM ALL pARTs
of Pembina comfy have in this removal
question, and CAVALIER HAS DECIDED
TO BEAR THE EXPENSE of preparing and
circu ating the petition to secure the nec-
essary names of legal vo ers, in order
that the county commissioners may sub
init the question to the people at the COM
ing election, and the voters of the coun-
ty then be PRIVILEGED TO VOTE FOR THE
REMOVAL OF THE COUNTY SEAT TO THE
CENTRAL LOCATION OF THEIR CHOICE. /"
The Chronicle further says, we attempt
ed to stir up rivalries between the 9TH
er central towns ofthe county. If the
people Of those towns don't consider
Cavalier as rival in business, and rival
in the contest for the county seat, then
any effort of the PIONEER EXPRESS to
make them SO would certainly be absurd.
We assumed it to be self.evident fact

COLD STORAGE PLANT

A gentleman from Montreal Is now in
this city to perfect arrangements for the
establishment of a cold storage plant, to
be used in connection with the Grand
Trunk road and its trans-At lantic bust
ness. The project involves the erection of
three story brick bu lding, 100 feet by
60. The proposed site which will be
leased by the Grand Trunk road at a
nominal rental, is on the eastsriy side of
India street, just northerly of the Grand
Trunk passenger depot. 1t is thought
that one-half or more of the necessary
capital can be obtained in Montreal and
the remainder, it is hoped, will be raised
