The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1909-09-10

The weather the past week has been
favorable for threshing, except for being
somewhat windy. Most garden stuff in
town is still green, though some exposed
places have been touched with frost, but
nothing to damage late barley or fax.
The late barley is mostly in shock and
flax is about ready to cut. All thresh-
ers are going full days and part of the
nights.
i Wehear from reliable authority that
within month the N. P. will run it's
passenger and freight trains through to
Winnipeg over the G. N. tracks with its
own equipment of engines and train
crews, instead of transferring engines
and crews with the Canadian Northern
at Pembina and Emerson as heretofore.
This is expected to add considerable to
the amount of traffic from Winnipeg.
A party of railway con4ractort who
have been at work in the northwest with
about fifty horses, are detained here by
the quarantine officers and are in camp
near the depot. These are claimed to
be American horses but have been in
the northwest about yeer and under
the new tariff laws will have to pay duty
of thirty dollars each just the same as if
they were canadian born. They are on
their way to work on one of the N. P.
extensions in western Dakota.
Stanley Kneeshaw, son of Judge Knee
shaw was taken with appendicitis on
Monday and carried to the hospital at
Grand Forks on Wednesday. He was
accompanied by his father and DR.. Fred
Ryon. On arriving at the hospital the
physicians decided that an immediate
operation was necessary and 1t was per-
formed; the operation showing that the
diagnosis was correct and that the de-
lay of another day would have been ser
lous in the extreme. A telephone on
Thursday morning was to the effect that
the patient was resting we'll.
We regret to inform our readers that
there is probable prospect of F. G
Warner and family leaving Pembina in
few weeks for Minneapolis where Mr..
Warner expects to go into business. Mr..
Warner, as president of the Merchants
bank, and Northern Pacific agent, and
owner of the Fort Farm, has occupied
the position of one of our most promi-
nent business men, and his leaving will
create corresponding vacancy. AS ne
gotlntions are still in progress we can
not give further details at this time, as
to changes that will necessarily occur
with his resignation of his position with
the N. P. and other business connec-
tons. He will probably retain his in
terest in the farm for some time.
Il L. L. Roberts who used to be a mali
clerk on this route some years ago was
the victim among others of very ser
ious accident on the n. P. last week near
Detroit. A head end collision between
freight that ought not to have been on
the track and passenger that was MAX
ing up lost time killed the engineer and
injured number of others. Mr.. Rob-
erts who was in the mail car, had both
arms broken one in three places and the
other in two places and had most of his
ribs broken on one side. Since being at
the hospital he has had one arm ampu-
tated and the surgeons fear that the
other must also come off, if indeed he
, survives his severe injuries.
Hotel Pembina will change proprietors
probably about Monday, VIM. Ardies
taking the place of Charles LaFond.
Mr.. LaFond who is the city barber and
who has confectionery and pool room
in the building finds that he has more
on his hands than he can we'll attend to-
and will hereafter give his whole atten.
ton to the barber shop and CONNECTION.
. Iery. Mr.. Ardies who has been running
the Ardies Hotel for couple of years
has given good satisfaction as land.
Y lord in rather limited quarters and in
! the new place will be able to give his
D patrons much better service. Mrs. Ar.
Q dies has shown her ability already and
E will doubtless make success as land
8 lady of the larger hotel. A good hote
i means very much to any town and ev
Q jerybody will wish all parties in the dea
the best Of success.
