The Pembina Pioneer Express be-
gins volume 26, and in celebration of
the event it issues a supplement- which
is fac smile of the first issue.
Strictly speaking the celebration is
a few weeks ahead of time, which
fact the paper explains by the state
ment that while the first issue of the
paper was published on August Z,
1879, the newspaper year consists Of
50 weeks. and as the calendar yea
,overruns this little, in the quarter of
century Of it's existence the paper
has gained about month. The Pho
neer was started by P. A. Gatchell and
M. A. Brown, and after several
changes it passed into the hands Of
the present proprietors, Messrs. Ward
we'll & Thompson, in 1887, and it has
been published by them since that
time.

when the redemption period has ex-
pired, and not before.
6 Service of notice of expiration of
redemption. and filing of proof thereof
with the clerk of the district court,
is essential to terminate the redemp-
ton period. The holder of certifi-
cate may, by timely service, limit the
redemption period to two years, but
the effect of delay in such service and
filing is to postpone the expiration of
the redemption period and the maturi-
ty of the certificate; and until service
is made and proof filed, the certificate,
whether held by an individual or by

AT the recent term of the district
court at Minnewaukan, in a case on
appeal in the matter of granting of a
druggists permit to sell intoxicating
liquors, Judge Cowan decided that the
granting of permit to sell intoxicat-
ing liquors was not probate matter,
and therefore the law which empowers
county courts to issue permits to sell
Intoxicating liquors was in violation of
section LIE of the constitution of the
state of North Dakota, and therefore
void, section III of the constitution,
limiting the jurisdiction of the coun-
ty court to testamentary matters, the
appointment of administrations and
guardians, the settlement of the &C
counts Of executors, administrators
and guardians, the sale of lands by ex-
ecutors, administrators and guardians,
and such other probate jurisdiction as
may be confirmed by law" If this
decision is sustained, it will render in
valid every druggists permit in the
state. The question raised is whether
the law may confer upon county courts
powers not expressly or implicitly war
ranted by the constitution, and the SUI
preme court will probably be called to
pass upon the matter.

LAST OF FREE HOMES,

Every year brings us nearer the
time when free government lands will
be no more. They are passing rapidly
into the hands of homesteaders and in
very few years it will be impossible
to secure free home from Uncle Sam.
The statement hereto attached shows
the remarkable activity in the Bis
marck land district last year. What
is true of this district is also true of
other government land districts. Land
in the Bismarck land district. the Dick
inson district and the Minot district
will appreciate in value hereafter as
it never has increased before. In a
few years the man who possesses a
good chunk of Uncle Sans domain-a
prairie home-will be a prince-an
Independent, happy American citizen,
while his less favored brother in the
city will be subjected to all manner of
troubles strikes, lockouts, mob vio-
1ence, incendiarism and other social
disorders. The man on the farm will
be secure in his home, live and live
we'll. The farmer and not the city
chap will be the aristocrat.
Just stop and consider how rapidly
the free lands of the Missouri slope
are being taken. In Burleigh county
where only few years ago there were
over 100000 acres of government
land to be had now there are only 49,
900 acres left for homesteaders. Em-
mons county has only 100000 acres
left, Kidder only 10000 acres, Mclean
less than 100000 and Logan and Nc
Intosh combined less than 100000
acres. Nor are there any more rail-
road lands left in this section. They
have all passed out of the hands of
the land grant company into the
hands Of settlers and spectators.
Lands that could be bought for 81 to
S. an acre a few years ago are now
worth from S. to SIS per acre and
considering the development of the
country, the extension of railroads
and transportation facilities, are great.
er bargains and offer better opportuni.
ties for investments today than at
any previous time. The population OF
the country Is increasing at a rapid
rate. The stream of immigrants from
foreign shores continues and the un.
occupied portion Of the United States
can hardly be seen on the map.

unappropriated and unreserved land

1t is understood that the petitions for
the division of Mclean county and for
the removal of the county seat from
Washburn have been filed with the
board of county commissioners and
that these questions are likely to be
voted upon at the general election
this fall. The division question will
most likely carry as the county Is
large enough and has population
enough for two counties and there
will not be much opposition to it.
The county seat removal advocates
want the capital of the county re-
moved from Washburn to Underwood.
1t is doubtful if this proposition comes
anywhere near carrying as the resi-
dents Of the northwestern part of the
county will see very little benefit in
the removal Of the county seat a dis
lance of less than twenty miles. If
county seat removal ever becomes a
serious question it is likely that an
effort would be made to take it nearer
the center of the old county as it
will remain after division than Under
wood.

LOSS WILL TOTAL Sl7.0OC
Commissioners Explain Reason For
Comparatively Small Damage to
Missouri building.

st. Louis, Nov. 2l.--By a conserva-
tive estimate made by NJ. T, Davis
president, and J. II. Hawthorne, treas
urer, Of the Missouri commission, the
actual loss to the commission by rea'
son OF the fire which destroyed the
Missouri building at the Worlds fair
Saturday night is $4,000.
Ten thousand dollars is the esti.
mated loss on the furniture. carpets
and draperies, $1,000 on the fixtures
and machinery, and $4,000 on the
building itself.
Another source Of qualification to the
commission is the fact that practically
all of the portraits of the governors
judges and senator's Of the state, which
hung in state hall of the pavilion, have
been saved. The portraits were mixed
up with those from the art gallery
Saturday night, and In the excitement
It was thought that they were lost.
In estimating the loss at so small a
sum, as compared with what was
thought to be the amount Of the dam
age caused by the fire, Commissioner
Davis and Hawthorne figure that at
the most they could not have realized
more than $1,000 for the structure
which cost 100000, while in its pres
ent condition the commission will be
forced to expend $1,000 for its removal
from its present site, thus making the
loss on the score Of the pavilion ST.

The Negro Porter suddenly Had
Money to Invest, Was Arrested
and Has Confessed.

the bank and was fully trusted He
held the position for a number Of
years and was an intelligent negro.
Over q month ago a package of cur
rency containing 5000 was taken
from the bank, and the closest watch
and investigation failed to throw any
/ light on Its disappearance. The bank
officials kept the matter quiet, hoping
that the guilty party might be discov-
cred or the money found.
Sunday Fitzpatrick, who Is usually q
steady, sober negro, imbibed a little
too freely, and going to Attorney We'll
bourne, who has an Office in the bank,
and is also the banks attorney, asked
him II he knew where he could In
vest $1,000, as his mother In Fort

amount.

money, went at once to Cashier Ed F.
Johns. who took the 1900 which Fitz-
patrick had with him, telling him he
could invest 1t, and asked him II he
had any more. Fitzpatrick told him
he had some. and gave Mr.. Johns an
order on his wife for the balance. Mrs.
Fitzpatrick gave him what was left
Mr.. John returned and at once had
Fitzpatrick arrested. and he confessed
to the theft. He was placed in jail to
await further action. All the money
was recovered except $l40.

to organize and agree upon what can
be sent from each vicinity, and are
asked to communicate freely and
frequently with j. H, Bouslog, the
