@Opl, Alumni.

One OF the just sources OF pride of the
Pioneer EXPRESS is its alumni. AS the
wears hay: gone on, the office OF the P,o-
neer Express has been training school
for large number of young men who
have since gone out into the world to es-
tab''sh or conduct other newspapers. of
which the Pioneer Express can therefore
claim at least The relationship of a god.
father
OF these we may mention Charles S.
Florance. who learned his trade in this
office and went with Mr.. Young to Min
neapolis. Later he ran Il paper at Ham
mond. Wis.,, and then went to Idaho and
published paper at V;nelend. He. is
now county treasurer there.
Joseph e. Bouvette and Stuart F.
Thompson worked in this office together
and then bought the Kittson County
Enterprise at Hallock, MINI. Afterward
Mr. Thompson withdrew from the firm
and is now principal editor OF the rival
paper OF that county, the News. Percy
Kemp, another faithful graduate of this
office, is the typographical assistant of
Editor Thompson on the News.
S. R. Moorhead. who publishes the
"Pine Tree" at Turtle River, Minn., is
another product Of this office.
Tillotson V. Copeland and John l..
Travis are two more of the Pioneer Ex-
press boys. The former is now running
aJob office at Tocoma, Wash, and the
latter for some years was on the Oregon.
ian at Portland, but his present location
is unknown. ...
All Of the above mentioned received
their typographical education in this Of
fee.
Besides these may be mentioned A. I.
Koehmstedt and +. w. BroL DIGEST. The
former was at one time an employee of
the Pioneer Express and later worked on
the Balhgate Democrat. Brondgeest was
an employe OF this paper and together
they went to Langdon and started the
Democrat. Later Brondgeest, who was
somewhat erratic III his habits, went to
Milton and started the Milton Globe
Later again he went to South Dakota
and started another paper, but soon af
forwards died there.
Many other we'll known printers have
also worked on this paper at differen,
periods and of whom we have pleasant
memories, but the above are named par.
ticu'arly as being connected with other
papers, or from the fact that they learned
the trade in this office,

Mr.. Young, after leaving here, went to
Minneapolis, where he established the
Midland Advocate, Methodist paper
and ran it for some time, but suspended
publication couple of years ago. He
is now in:Los Angeles, CAL, with his
brothers in-law, the Wallace Bros, who
are in the real estate and bond business.
Mr.. Young was an excellent newspaper
man and under his management the
Pioneer Express increased its circulat-
ion very largely, assisted by the fact that
the county was at that time settling up
very rapidly.

The beginning, Of the immigration into
this county was practically coincident
with the beginning OF the "Pioneer.'
Nearly three-fourihs Of the early immi-
grants came from Canada and the most
Of them came from Ontario. Ontario
has been famous for many years for its
splendid system Of common schools. As
a result the school house was one of the
first buildings in every locality, while in
q very few years the church buildings
were numerous. This universal desire
for education argues a reading people.
We believe, and have good reasons
to believe, that the people of. this county
subscribe to and read more papers per
capita than any other equal number Of
people on the same area in the world.
And this IS Ill the more remarkable for
the reason that they are almost purely an
agricultural people.

The first issue of the "Pembina Pho
neer" was dated August 7th, 1879. 1t
was published by P. A. Gatchell and
Mark A. Brown. Later Mr.. Gatchell
ran it alone. The "Northern Express"
was started in Drayton on December
9th, 1881, by R. H. Young, and moved to
Pembina on February 18th, 1882. April
Goth, 1883, r. H. Young bought the Pho
neer and consolidated the two papers as
the "Pioneer Express" In April, 1887,
the present proprietors, F. A. Wardwell
and G. G. Thompson purchased the pa
per and have run it ever since.

OUR BIRTHDAY.
twenty-five Years Ago the First
Issue of this Paper was
Launched.


The present issue of the Pioneer Elk
press begins the first volume of it's 26th
year. Strictly speaking, however, it will
be the 9TH day of August next before the
calendar years expire, since the first
number of the Pembina Pioneer was is
sued. The reason of this discrepancy
is that the newspaper volume is COM
posed of So numbers, issued weekly. But
81 weeks lack day and quarter of a
solar year. Hence in twenty-five news
paper years we have gained just month
on the worlds calendar. With this ex-
PLANTATION we may assume that we have
completed our first twenty-five years of
newspaper existence.

FIRST SCHOOL
BUILDING
Scenes and Incidents OF
Twenty-Five Years
Ago,

The view of Pembina's first public
school house which we give is worth a
moments attention fthe reader. It is
not only the first school building erected
with public school funds in Pembina and
Pembina county, but as far as we can
learn it was the first public school build
ing erected in North Dakota.
It was erected in 1876 and the photo
graph was taken in 1873. The teacher
at that time was F. A. Wardwell and
many of the children seengrouped about
him are now fathers and mothers Of 9th.

to be one Of the scholars.
