The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1908-10-29

The closing days of the County Seat
Campaign are upon us. Little is left
to be done except the casting Of the
ballots. The citizens of Hope have
made a fair and honorable fight and
victory is now in sight. Finley has
admitted her complete defeat and the
right thing for every voter to do is to
cast his ballot for Hope and make the
election unanimous.
Hope has done everything possible;
has met every demand; every induce
ment asked for has been granted. We
have the population, the improve
ments, the schools, churches and
hotels. We have presented the County
with a better Court House than it now
has, equipped with a vault, electric
lights and furnace heat, without
charge for five years. We have start
ed the building fund with ten thousand
dollars in cash. We have not been
telling falsehoods, exagerating con-
ditions, nor spouting hot-air. We
have delivered the goods. Every
claim we have made for the city OF
Hope is exactly as stated. We did
not promise to help pay but we came
up with the spot cash. We have
donated a new Court House better
than the old one, with plenty of room,
electric lights, furnace heat and new
and commodious vaults. We have

presented the County with ten
thousand dollars in hard cash, which
together with the county money now
available, will do a whole lot toward
building a new court house when it is
needed.
The most ardent supporters of
Finley frankly admit that Finley can
not get the required two-thirds ma
jority. Then allow US to ask, why in
the nan of common sense will the
voters cast their ballots for Finley
when their support will move the
county seat to Hope? Everybody ad-
mits that the county seat should be
moved to the railroad. Nobody
claims that the present accommo-
dations for u county officers and
records are suitable or sufficiently
safe. The only reasonable excuse
that has ever been raised is the cost,
and the supporters of Hope have paid
the freight. Everybody comedies
that the county seat should be moved
and that sometime it will be necessary
to build a new court house. Obviously
the right thing to do is to move it now
and build the court house when we
can. Ten years is a long time to
wait for another chance to vote on the
question. Ten years is also a long
time to do business in our present
County building. Ten thousand

The Sherbrooke Tribune comes out
with a full page article in regard to
protecting the peoples interests"
$500, 900. Bonds" $4,000 per
capita tax," etc. ETC., and in one
"plain, truthful, systematic article"
proceeds to set up a straw man and
then tear him to pieces. We take up
a few of these alleged objections.
In the first place it says that the
reason for moving the county
seat from Hope in the early days, was
that the people could be better served
in the exact center of the county, when.
the Editor of the Tribune knows as
we'll as any person in the county, that
unless there had been two or three
"paper railroads" that were going to
run into Sherbrooke, that it would
not have gotten the county seat in a
hundred years, and Bro. Bosses hub
of the universe" would have been to
this day a wheat or potato field. The
people don't want the county seat OH
the railroad, and never did.
Then the paper goes on to say that
the sole reason of the towns in want
ing the county seat is to have q
500, 900. 90 Court House to adorn
their town at the expense OF the tax
payers, when as a matter OF fact no
Hope person has YER advocated one
half this sum, nor have we advocated
bonding the county for one cent.
There are a few Taxpayers n Hope
and vicinity and We pay some taxes,
and are not anxious to stand our
share of a big interest tax for bonds,
further than this, Editor Boise mus,
have little respect for the intelligence
of the voters of Steele County 'tc
think he can lead them to believe thai
Hope or any other town can dictate te
the county whether they spend s25,OOo
or 800, 900. in o court house.
We have waived every objection

Throws A Fit"

increase the expense of the county to
do its business in town, and we would
like to have him produce the figures.
We don't think there would be any
more county officers, or their salaries
would be any bigger, and we know it
wouldn't cost s1.75 per ton to haul
the coal to the court house, nor
would it cost as much in lighting it, or
in a good many items of transpor-
t%ation; how do you figure it Bro.
Boise?
The Tribune says w are selfish in
wanting the county scat. Now let VS.
suppose that Editor Boise owned. no
property in S~herbrooke, would he be
filling a whole page of his paper with
a lot of stuff as appeared in the last
issue? Who has the most reasons for
being selfish in the matter?
We believe every taxpayer ought
to read his article carefully and sit
down -thoughtfully and take a paper
and pencil and figure this matter out
for himself, and see whose figures are
nearer the exact condition under
Hopes proposition to pay rent for
five years and donate the County Ten
Thousand Dollars, for we think to a
thoughtful, reasonable, progressive
citizen of our county it is one of the
best pieces of campaign literature in
favor of Hope for County Seat that
has been produced during the entire
contest.
Politically Bro. Boise claims to be
a progressive, as to County affairs,
"old things are good enough" we
can't harmonize these two propo-
s%itions, unless self interest, m in
before progress.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1908-10-29

that is offered by this same
article, as we have agreed to
furnish the Woodman Hall, being the
old public school building rebuilt,
free of rent for five years, build
vaults and remodel it for offices, and
have put up a Five Thousand Dollar
Bond that this agreement will be
carried out.
In addition to this we have de-
posted with the County Auditor. Ten
Thousand Dollars in Cash to start
the building fund, and the County
Auditor tells us that there will be on
hand at the close of this year about
1880. 90 that could be used for build
ing purposes, which together with
the average annual amount from the
Interest and Penalty fund of 81, 500. 90
and q tax Of less than s1.O0 per capita
put out at interest during the next
five years, would establish a fund of
at least $50, OO00 90, and that is more
than we have ever advocated. This
county is only one-fourth as big as
Cass, and does not need any ex-
travagsnt amount spent in buildings.
This is the extent of the foundation
for the long string of figures that the
Tribune prints trying to scare the tax
payers into line for Sherbrooke, and
is about as reasonable as his entire
article. He goes on to tell US that
the Building is all right, and good
enough for u county; and of course
it can be made to do, We could have
continued to live in sod shanties until
now by adding a few more chunks
of sod each year, or we could still BIZ
riding on the stage coach if we de-
sired to, and Bro. Boise can keeE
right on in the old ruts If he wants
to, but we object to his trying to keel
the rest OF US way back behind the
procession.
He also says that 1t would greatly

build a new Court House has been de-
posted with the County Auditor.
Why not vote to keep that money
there? We don't need a new court
house now, but we will want one some
time and you can't pick up ten
thousand dollars any easier than to
cast your vote for Hope for the
County Seat.

UNLUCKY THIRTEEN.
Every Nation Has "A Dread of This
Number.


II is usually stated that the supersti-
tious objection to sitting thirteen at a
table in Christian countries was based on
the fact Of the Last Supper, when Christ
and His twelve disciples sat down to eat
together, Immediately before the Savior
was seized by His enemies.
But In the Morse mythology. which is
supposed to antedate the Introduction Of
Christianity among the Mortimer. says
the Housekeeper, we find the superstition
referred to the fact that at a banquet Of
the gods, Lod. the spirit OF mischief. in
tFuded himself, making thirteen at the
table. wherefore there was a fight. and
Balbour, young hero especially loved by
all the gods, was killed.
The objection 20 this number seems to
have existed even before Christianity
Among the Turks the number Is so dis
liked and feared that it is never even
named; with the Aztecs. the aborigines Of
Mexico, It was believed to have magic
power. and ike fancy has been found
In other Indian tribes.
Among the ignorant blacks Of the South
the fear Of this number in any connection
Is actually absurd. but whether they have
borrowed this idea from the imperfect
knowledge Of Christianity. or whether it
is survival OF the voodoo worship Of
their ancestors, IL is impossible to say, for
the superstition has a strong hold every
where, even among those who should
know better than to be swayed by IT, In
Italy il is never used in making up the
numbers OF the favorite lotteries and in
Paris II Is omitted in numbering the
houses on the streets.

MANNERS OF THE MICROBE.
Particularly Active During Certain
Hours of the Dny.

According to the Matin. Prof. Miguel
of Montsouris, announces that, as the re-
suit Of long study. he finds that microbes
are particularly active during certain
hours OF the day, besides being fewer or
more numerous, according 10 the season
of the year. In December and January
their number diminishes; In July and
August il increases. The professor
seems 10 regard il as natural that mi
crobes should flourish and increase under
the atmospheric conditions prevailing
during the midsummer months and that
they should decrease in number with the
advent Of winter.
But it is not easy to explain" says
NJ. Miguel, why, in the same day. the
number Of microbes per cubic centimeter
Of air varies with the hours. II is at 8
o'clock in the morning and at 9 o'clock
in the evening that they are 20 be found
abroad in the atmosphere in the greatest
numbers. At o'clock in the morning
and the same hour in the afternoon their
number is comparatively much smaller"
This, il it is to be regarded as a scien-
titic verify, is certainly curious, and il
may lead 70 some new method of max,
ing war on the mysterious microbe.

Worcester Mass, Feb. Edwin
". Bond is 1888 richer than he thought
he was Bond has a collection OF old
coins about the house, and thought the
best way to raise d little holiday
change would be to realize on the dis
oarded money, SO he sought out 'ar
exchange for the purpose.
Many Of the coins OF long ago were
worth little more than their face value
and a few even less. Finally he dug
up a silver dollar made in 1904. The
exchange clerk looked at it. tested il
and then handed 1t back. answering
Bonds query as TO whether it was
good enough by saying:
"Oh, yes. II Is good enough, only we
haven't money enough in the place to
buy it. as il Is worth $500"
Bond took the coin home. as he has
learned that he can realize at least
$1,000 on IT, Bond. when seen at his
home, 1872 Pleasant street. said:

Not Collector.
For some years past have laid
aside coins of various demonstrations
that struck me as being out Of the
ordinary. I am not a collector. and
never made a practice OF collecting
rare or valuable coins. which accounts
for my ignorance OF the value OF the
old dollar.
when searching through some OF
my fathers effects several years ago
l came across 1t, as bright and shin
ing as IL came from the mint. I put
IL into my miscellaneous collection and
there II has remained for years Mr.

Williams pronounced Bonds coin genu-
ine. He says there are but four genuine
ones in existence and adds
IF Bond had not carried il for a
pocket piece for the last few years
and thus worn IL down considerably il
would easily fetch $3.50. Il is worth all
Of Sl.O00 as it is
Lyman H. Low. a New York dealer In
coins, speaking Of the Bond find, said
that only thirteen 1901 dollars were known
TO be in existence. These We're all ac-
counted for. Il is not known, said ne
how many Of the Is4 coins exist but
there is record OF only thirteen. Mr.
Low called attention TO the fact that
between 1893 and 1896 no silver dollars
were coined. and. therefore. the 1874 dol
lar was not coined until 1896 or later
The explanation Of the existence Of this
rare coin is that an engTaver-Gabrecht-
took an incomplete 1904 die and finished
IL. and from il the now highly priced coin
was stamped
When asked what he thought OF the re-
ported finding Of an 1904 dollar in Worces-
ter Mr. Low declared 10 was impossible
to make any positive statement about It.
No expert coin dealer would dare express
an opinion about IL until he had person
ally examined it. II It is genuine, It is
the fourteenth dollar of the 'lSA' date.

called '1s0f' dollars were occasionally
coming 20 light but in many instances
they have been shown to be counterfeits.

WINDMILLS FOR SIGNALING
Dutch Government Finds Them Val
liable for Military Purposes.
Communication BetNveen Distant
Points Easily Established by
Means of Secret Code.

To the casual observer viewing a Dutch
landscape, says the Windsor Magazine,
there is nothing to arrest the at
tenuon in the fact that possibly one or
more out of a dozen wlndnElls In sight
are. to all appearances, simply standing
idle, while the others continue their
never-ending task
If one watches the sails Of the idle
mills closely it may. perhaps. be noticed
that they move slightly from time 10
time and then remain for a while at a
different angle. II this is so the miller is.
in all probability. engaged In holding a
conversation with the proprietor of the
other mill. which may be miles away-in
fact. possibly barely visible on the h6rl-
zon,
Quite recently the Dutch government
carried on a series Of experiments IN
order 10 ascertain the value of windmill
signaling for military purposes, and was
surprised % find that communication
could readily be established with far
distant centers, and that confidential
messages could be sent on from one mill
10 another, and so forwarded throughout
the lengthz and breadth Of Holland In an
incredibly short time by means Of secret
codes known only to the miIlers them
selves.
These codes have been handed down
from generation to generation and jeal-
ously guarded from outsiders with all
the intense conservatism for which the
provincial Dutch are proveTbial Apart.
however. from these secret codes. un-
derstood only by the millers and local
groups OF mill owners, there exists
series Of windmill signals with which
every one of the inhabitants Of the coun-
try districts are familiar
At times, for instance. a mill may stop
working suddenly. and the miller be seen
to come out and, with the aid Of a long
pole with an iron hook at the end like
"a gigantic boathOOk. reach UP and drag
down the descending sail until the arms
assume a certain position. Every one
knows Immediately that some accident
has happened 10 the wooden machinery
Of the mill, and that the services Of the
