The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1898-11-04

v. Quackenbush says that he wants
all the votes he can get, and if elected
will do his duty to the best of his know
ledge, faithfully and impartially, and it is
we'll known he is fully capable.
James Turner is making friends wher-
ever he goes. He is good campaigner
and a good fellow. The Chronotype
says Jim is better looking than his pic
ture, and we agree with the Chron otype.
All parties say that the judiciary should
be "non-partizan." We expect that will
be pressed on the Grand Forks voter in
favor of Judge Fisk. BY the same rule
every voter in Pembina county should
vote for N. c. Young.
Two years ago MIR. Richardson's ma.
jority in this county was 5Sl. The aver
age majority Of the Bryan electors was
nearly 1871. That is, Mr.. R. received
about 400 complimentary votes from his
neighbors. We hope that when N. c.
Young's vote from this county is an
nounced it will show like appreciation
of him as man and a neighbor.
Don't forget to make sketch of one
end Of saw-buck and put it in the
square frame at the end of A. A. Halli-
days name so that the whole picture
will look thus: A. A. HALLIDAY Xxi
and then you will know that you have
voted for good and efficient man for
county treasurer.
The Sanford Dodge Co. will appear
at Kittson Hall, Pembina, on Nov. 9th.
I}Ihey have a grand spectacular play,
founded on the recent war with Spain
and press reports are that it is very fine.
This company is one of the standard
and MIR. Dodge's name is familiar one
to all lovers of the drama. 1t is not Of
ten that town of this size has the OPP
portunity to see so good company.

We ask everybody who wants to get
the results of the vote on Tuesday next,
to assist lis in giving the results. The
PIONEER EXPRESS has asked many
friends to oblige us with early returns by
mail and in person and now asks in gen.
eral. We hope to get figures from every
precinct by Thursday night in time to go
to press for Friday mornings mail. If
you will send us the vote of your own
precinct, we will send you the total vote
OF the county in return at the earliest
possible moment. 1t won't take as
long to count the ballots this year as
heretofore, as there are only two tickets.
Send the results by mail or the messen-
ger who brings in the official returns,
which ever will come quickest.
The appearance of the first Red River
cart dates back to the fall of 1901. The
wheels of the first OF these vehicles were
composed of solid piece sawed from
the tree, about three feet in diameter. 3.
The buildings in the fort at Pembina
during the years 1891 and 1892 are men,
Toned in the notes of an old trader as
being large, one of them measuring 1OC
iieet long by 20 feet wide, and all built Of
'ogs.. Local historians have lie armed
that the first structure of permanent
character on the west bank of the Red
River was erected by man named Cha,

where the river of that name enters into
the Red.-The Plaindealer.
