A Crank on Clothes.

Sir Harry Poland, British magis-
trate noted for his brilliancy, was al
ways careless in his dress. Once his
family persuaded him to go to Poole
and order a fashionably cut suit. To
the chagrin of the household Sir Harry
looked more outlandsh in the new
clothes than in his old ones. His broth.

but how could we fit a gentleman who
would insist upon being measured sit.

And the only satisfaction that could
be obtained from Sir Harry Poland
himself later on was the dry comment:
"Well, it's my business and not yours
like to be comfortable. | spend three
parts of my life sitting down, and
preferred to be measured So"

The EinIanders.

No northern people are harder or
more spirited than the Finlanders,
with their clear compilations and dark
blue eyes. In spite of their harsh eli
mate they have the most healthful llv-
ing OF perhaps any of the northern
races and keep equal degrees Of ro-
nance. daring and good feeling In their
natures. You do not find imagination,
force and adventure in a race without
coarse, plenteous fare, pure air and
cleanliness.

RED RIVER VALLEY DRAINAGE.

The flooding at times of this valley is
a matter that is destructive and expen-
sive. Just how much each flood costs
no one knows but it is estimated at
$3,0oO,0O0. United States engineers
estimate from preliminary surveys that
100000 would prevent floods if
properly expended.
The plan is this. Red Lake if con-
trolled by dam would hold all the flood
water away from that branch.
Big Stone lake which is the source of
the Minnesota river, flowing south, is
eight feet lower and almost joins Lake
Traverse, the source of the Red river.
Ottertail river, the third water supply of
this valley, flows through series of
lakes including Ottertail lake. Seven
teen miles from the Red River near
Wahpeton, the Ottertail is a hundred
feet higher. A canal across would run
the surplus Ottertail flood to Lake
Traverse and thence throl gh Big Stone
lake down the Minnesota.
1t looks very feasible, and considering
the advantages, very cheap. There is a
meeting to be held at Fargo on the 10th,
18th and 18th. The principal business
will be to prepare ways and means to
interest Congress SO as to have complete
surveys made to verify the preliminary
surveys and get at the actual cost Of the
work, so as to get an appropriation for
the work-which seems to US a matter
in which every resident Of the valley is
largely interested and which every news
paper ought to lay before its readers.

E Biliousness is condition characterized
by disturbance of the digestive organs.
The stomach is debilitated, the liver tor
pid, the bowels constipated. There is a
loathing of food, pains in the bowels,
dizziness, coated tongue and vomiting,
first of the undigested or partly digested
food and then of bile. Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets allay the dis
turbances of the stomach and create a
healthy appetite. They also tone up the
liver to healthy action and regulate the
bowels. Try them and you are certain
to be much pleased with the result. For

couple of weeks ago, while Mark Hunt
will hunt up some other rugged and
ragged cognomen that no other fellow
ever thought of before. AS for Major
Edwards-we hardly know-if we had
stolen something-been in the peniten-
tiary-or things like that-he'd d sure have
a kindly word-he slways does-for folks
like that-but not being bad enough to
be forgiven-by the Mgor-and as we
have IL to his Excluding the second
generation-it's hard to say-we say
what the Major will say.
Joking aside, however, it is something
of an honor and pleasurable reninis-
cence, to be able to look back as docs
the PIONEER EXPRESS to twenty-five
years of existence in Dakota, and to
have assisted even in its own small way,
to lay the foundations and to help in the
progress of our young and vigorous
state.
1t is also an honor to have been started
among the first half dozen of the state
papers and to have continued in existence
and reasonable prosperity until this time
when the number has increased to eight
in its own county and one hundred and
eighty-fve in the state. No state has a
brighter or more vigorous lot Of local
papers than North Dakota, with which,
we have to compete and among which
we are proud to be ranked.
The "Pembina Pioneer" was started in
1879 in Pembina by P. a. Gatchell The
Northern Express" at Drayton in 1881
: by r. H. Young. The latter bought the
''Pioneer'' from Gatchell and made the
united papers the PIONEER EXPRESS in
1883. The PIONEER EXPRESS was pur-
chased by the present publishers in Ap-
Ill 1887. P. A. Gatchell went to Iowa,
but we have not heard Of him for several
years. Mr.. Young, with Mr.. Wyard,
formerly Of Park River, is publishing the
Midland Adyocate. q religious journal at
Minneapolis.
The PIoNEER ExPRRss IS glad to con-
gratulate itself on being still alive ia. this
stirring generation and hopes when two
score and two more years are again com.
pieted to still be that same, with all its
old readers still on the subscription list
and many new ones added.
