EXPECTS HOME RULE.
REDMOND BELIEVES THAT LONG
CHERISHED DREAM OF IRISH
MEN WILL COME TRUE.
Irish Leaders Will Grasp Opportunity,
and Will Exact the Best Terms
Possible for ireland Out of the
Necessities Of the English
Statesmen.

Dublin.-John E. Redmond, chair
man of the Irish parliamentary, re-
turning from a tour of the United
States, received ovations at Cork and
Dublin on Sunday. He addressed
meetings at both cities.
Mr.. Redmond protested against the
attempts of the O'Brienites to divide
the Nationalist party. Never in the
lifetime of the people, he said, had
such an opportunity arisen, and he
was going to London Immediately
with the single purpose to exact the
best terms possible for Ireland out of
the necessities of the English states
men.
He believed the struggle would be
short and would result in the removal
of the only obstacle to Ireland attain
ing naional liberty.
London-Mr. Redmond's triumphant
Homecoming dominates the political
stage. His declaration that he was
going to the British statesmen is
seized on by the Conservatives to
rouse the electors of the country to a
sense of the danger threatening the
union should they return a ministry
tied to the heels of an Irish dictator.

now secondary matter with them.
just get the location first and then
they will talk differently about the
kind of court honse. justj as they are
now doing about the persons who
signed the petition. ..t
A second method Of attacking our
figures is try and fool people into the
idea that by extending the payments

farmers pay on about s5,OOO,O0O worth
of property Or an average of about
S3,500 each,
These figures can be verified by our
farmer readers by looking at their tax
receipts. While some may pay on
more and some less they can judge for
themselves as to the average.
Now if the reader will refer to the
table of taxation published at the head
of these columns he will find that the
rate for the hundred thousand dollar
court house to be built at Cavalier will
beS32 per thousand of assessment,
Hence the farmer who Is assessed at the
average OF $500 will have to pay a
total of Sal2.
The pioneer express., 1910-08-05

evident that if each of the 1000 tax
payers put up $50 ut once, there ould
be sufficient funds raised to build Il
100000 court house without running
in debt at all. Blu. the Cavalier people
know that the taxpayers wouldn't stand
for that, so they say twenty years
giving the-taXpayer sort of vague idea
that it will be some time before any
money will have to be paid at all and
then not SO much 1t this were true it
would always be better to run in debt
and provide sinking fund
But it stands just this way. You may
pay your debt now for $50 or you can
pay it in twenty years with SIP at
simple interest. a sinking fund is Just
paying part of the Debt in advance
each year, and placing the advance
payment at interest. But whether, You
pay the $50 down, or the yearly advance
payments as sinking fund, when you
figure your interest (and it is your in
terest) it will amount TO the sll2, in
twenty years.
A 100000 court house when bullt
whether paid for or not will stand the
taxpayers of this county the same as
renting building for $4,000 year, not
only for one year or twenty years but
for all future years and the taxpayers
|pay the insurance and repairs beside
because 100000 OF the taxpayers money
is invested therein and the interest lat
four per cent amounts to $4,000 year.

County Seats
Not Central
BY Looking Over the Maps One
will; See that Central Loca-
tion' Cuts no Figure in the
Location Of County Seats.

In the neighboring state of Minnesota
there are So counties besides some
Indian reservations. Of these SS coun-
ties forty of his. county seats, almost
half, are either in extreme corners. on
the boundary lines, or within six miles
of the boundary lines. Twenty two
county seats are from six 10 twelve miles
from corners or boundaries of the
respective counties, eight more are far
ther than - miles from the boundaries
but these being mostly in large coun-
ties are far from being centrally
situated. This leaves but eighteen out
of the eighty yeight county seats in a
central position, and many of the
latter locations are evidentally
accidental from the fact that they
happened to be railroad centers.
In North Dakota taking the eastern
half, as the western half of the state is
yet unsettled as to boundary Lines OF
counties) in twenty seven counties only
six county seats are central. Eight are
on the boundary lines of the counties
and eight more are within six miles of
the edges of the counties, and the
balance are far from the centers.
The map of any state in the Union
will show the same thing and prove to
anyone that the central location of
county seats cuts almost no f;pure in
actual practice.
And yet some people talk as if there
was some sort of mwritten law that
''all county seats are and of right ought
to be in the geographical center of the
counties"
Far more counties have county seats
On the corners or boundaries than in
the center.

THE DIRTY KICK OUT.

"Any man who would sign the petit
ton for the county seat removal and
thereby publicly declare that he is in
favor of removal, and who then lacks
the moral conviction and manhood to
walk up to the polls and back up his
petition act, certainly belongs to the
Pembina circle all right enough, and
the Pemhina committee have right to
'gather him in' ballot, body and
breeches on election day, since they
couldn't work some scheme to knock
him off the petition before the commits
tsioners seid "heres ho'' to it."-Cava-
lier Chronicle.
This dirty kick-out for people who
were pursuaded to sign the petition on
the ground 'that it was only fair to
give people chance to vote on the
subject" t"-"that signing the petition
was not voting ETC., is what might
have been expected by the mistaken
individuals that signed the petition
with such.ideas.
1t will be remembered by the readers
Of the Pioneer Express and of other
county papers what howl the Chron-
icle and some other county papers made
when this paper said that the signing
of the petition was really vote, be-
cause it took two votes to remove the
county seat, one via petition and one
via the general election. These papers
and people yelled 1.-THE Pioneer Express
is trying to smother the wishes of the
people, ,and is denying the rights of their
franchise to prevent them from voting"
|" "That signing petition was nothing
Eonly to let them have vote, and it did
mot in any way bind the siener to vote
Itfor Cavalier:.'' ''Just sign now, but
vote as you please"
Now. you have the opinion of the
Cavalier people of man whom they
deceived or csjoled into signing the
petition by just such arguments.
They haven't even the grace to say
thanks to anyone who gave them that
much assistance but say she lacks
moral conviction and manhood" il he
lsignad the petitann and does net intend
| to vote for it.
How do you like that, Mr.. Man, who
favored Cavalier with your signature
just as a matter II fairness though you
really preferred Pembina?

THE CROP Is sHoRr.

There seems to be concerted
endeaHor in the daily papers to minimize
the bad crop situation. About every
day now they have paragraphs to the
effect that the situation has been exag.
gerated, that things are not very bad,
etc. Well, what about the meteorologi-
cal records, showing shortage of ten
inches of rain for the summers What
about the range of the thermometer
which shows the hottest two months of
June and July known? What about the
sandy lands that everybody knows
could not possibly stand such drouth
and heat?
Some farmers in southern Minnesota
and Dakota have threshed with fairly
good results and, straightway the
market reports say that the yield will
be good and that past reports of dam
age were just scare. Well, there are a
whole lot of farmers all over this big
northwest that will not thresh any
wheat for market at all. According to
that alone then there should be no
wheat at all. Phe facts are and remain
that the three northwestern states that
raise the big crops of hard wheat are
gong to be short. While some farmers
in these states and a good many. of
them will have from half to full Weld.
lots Of others will barely save seed and
-four and some will not have that.

pronounced BY all travellers as having

32xl6o TWO STORIES HIGH.

A building two stories high, thirty
two feet wide ard one hundred and
sixty feet long would generally be Goa
ssidered as of considerable size-eyan
flor court house. 1t would make "a
structure OF the same width and height
las the Pembina city hall and twice as
long. Many of the large barns of the
county are of the same width and from
vone-third to one-haH the length. This,
however, represents the actual dimen-
:sions of building sufficient in size to
contain the present county officers,
court room and iail at Pembina-not
including several autbuildings which
are used for wood, coal, stable, etc and
which have also been discussed by
Cavalier people.
Now, if in addition to this space We
ehould build new bsailding big enough
to contain these present offices and add
suffiaient vault room and other space
"for generations to come" as desired by
Nj. Mcbride of Cavalier, how large
would the new building 'be and how
much would it cost?
The present vault room (Which is not
included in the above 80 100 building,)
il all placed together Is one structure,
would be eleven feet wide and sixty
four fest long. Or, il built in the form
Of a country school house &ould be a
structure twenty-five by thirty-two
feet which is common size for such
buildings. Additions to most Of these
vaults could be made at . nominal cost
whenever needed.
How much stuff could be stored in
that sized room we will leave to the
judgment OF the reader except to say
that it would hold forty-four cords if
piled eight feet Highland q cord of
wood in a wagon load. IS
The fact that some ssof these Offices
with their vaults are separate from the
main building but adds to their safety,
size and convenience, and makes them
pleaaanter to the occupants.
