The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1900-06-22

By the government crop bulletin Of
Manitoba we learn that crop conditions
there are similar to our own. The rain
fall as reported from the different sta
tons in very few cases exceeded one
inch for the total of both April and May,
and in no case equalled two inches.
The N. P. train was two hours late on
Wednesday. No special reason being
given, the post Office officials at this point
wrote in their record mail late two
hours; cause, washout at Joliette." Con-
sidering the state of the weather this was
mildly sarcastic.
Rev. Beer found it too far to drive
from Langdon here for last Sundays APP
pointment SO Rev. Mr.. Rice of Walhalla
filled Rev. Dingle's pulpit here while
Mr.. Beer preached at Walhalla. Mr..
Dingle will probably be home to-day.
Mr.. Rice preached very acceptably.
About June LIST 'our,, Mueller left for
toilette; Sunday last so did carpenter
Green; perhaps they met for heard Of as
yet they have never since been seen.
Still will kind fate somewhat grief abate,
we will not much miss the emerald
gone, for Green lett lot of greenhorns
done. of whom and of which we are also
one.
Joseph Duchamp Of Thief River Falls
has found out how much there is to his
share of the estate left by his mother in
France. The cash is S., 900 and it's all
in bank subject to his order, then
there's some real property not yet
divided.-Crookston Tribune.
: Joe used to live near Beaulieu in this
county and used to have similar requests
at intervals.-ED.
A sample of wheat, picked five miles
east of Cavalier by Deputy Sheriff Wal
tiers, shows complete heads of fair
length, about four stools to the seed, and
eighteen to twenty-four inches of straw.
Mr.. Walters has covered the whole OF
the western part of the county this week
and this is the best he saw, but strange
to say, this field was surrounded by
other fields which are about the poorest
in the county.
Wednesday was the hottest day Of the
season, with almost no wind. The gov
eminent thermometer registered 81 de-
grees, but at five o'clock in the afternoon
Miller's thermometer registered 1902.
AS an item of interest however, during
the night the government thermometer
went down to $50, which shows that if
the day is hot, one can sleep at night.
Thursday was not much, if any, better
than Wednesday for heat.
The picnic at toilette last Saturday
was decided success. A large crowd
Of people from various parts of the
county were present. A large number
went out from town. Two interesting
games Of baseball were played, one be-
tween Hallock and toilette, in which the
score was two to eleven in favor of Hal
lock; and the other between Pembina
and Hamilton, the score being four to
nineteen in favor of Pembina. Pembina
can play very good game Of ball. A.
H. Anderson was present with his cam
era and took a number of pictures of the
school children and the league.
July End is the date of the excursion of
the Winnipeg Workmen to Neche.
Neche has raised large sum to enter
tain their Canadian guests. of whom a
thousand are expected and cordially in
yites the people Of Pembina county and
other localities to join in the picnic.
Excursions and cheap rates are being
arranged for on the G. N. and a big time
is expected. The Pembina Band will be
in attendance. Base ball, probably
Cavalier VS.. Winnipeg and other matches
and sports. rleche will doubtless have
the biggest crowd Of its existence to
entertain.
T. R. Shaw went fishing last week at
Bemidji. Before going to the lake he
went to the Indian encampment and
bought hundred pretty baskets, some
as large as barrel and others smaller.
These were to be filled with the fish that
Tom caught and be sent as presents to
his numerous waiting and admiring
friends. For some as yet unexplained
reason the friends got no fish and the
pretty baskets are on sale at the drug
store. Everybody can draw their own
conclusions as to Toms skill as a fisher
man, but every one who will buy one Of
the pretty baskets will do an act Of friend
ship and assist in getting Tom square
on his expense account. He sells them
cheap, almost at cost, all he wants is to
get square.
