With this issue The Pioneer enters it's
thirty-ffth volume. For thirty-four
years 1t has ohronicled the history of
this city, although it has been pub
lished here only a little over thirty
three years. The paper was estab.
lished by the Hope Printing Co. in
Minneapolis in the year 1882. Al that
time there was no railroad here, and
fop convenience the paper was pub
lished in that city until rail communi-
cation vas esta blished. For this rea-
son we have no files of the first vol
ume, a. they we're lost in moving the
plant here.
We have been looking over the first
issue of Vol. 2, and find many inter-
esting items in that issue. WilliamF +.
Warner, who was proving up on the
southwest quarter of section 10, in Car.
penter township, was the editor.
AMONG the fnal proof notices are
those of Dean Adams. Jubal Wheeler,
Emily Payson, John Croxford, Her.

Murray, James E. Wallace, T. M. Tol.
man, George A. Luce, John D. Batson,

Griggs County Commissioners, (this
county was then a part of Griggs),
were presented with petitions signed

cense be granted. The opening Of the
spring term of the public school with
a good attendance is announced, and

lures have been built; new business
firms have been organized.
The Pioneer has changed hands dur
ing this time on various occasions. In
its third year R. H. Simpson was
owner. and published it. until 1889,
when he sold out TO r. E. Hail. In
1890, Geo. H, Isminger, who was edi-
tor under Hail, became publisher. He
vas succeeded By Stewart & Pepper in
1895. In May, 1898, Chas. L. Allen
placed his name at the masthead, and
although the waters we're rough at
times, he sailed the old ship along
safely until 1900, when A. L. Moody
took the wheel in hand. Pepper &
Stevens followed in 1901 and Pepper
& Keene in 1903. In 1905, j. A. Pepper
and L. L. Lang bought out the
North Dakota Publishing Co., of
Fargo, and combined that plant with
The Pioneer plant and moved into the
building now occupied by the paper.
In 1907 Lang went to Neville and Pep.
per continued as editor. Geo. Robin
son leased the plant and ran the paper
for six months in 1909, and was fol-
lowed by the present incumbent. This
is the history of the l,768 issues of
The Pioneer to date. Let us hope that
the future may see 1t improve with
the community to such an extent that
it may live through another thirty
four volumes.

Tho Hope House built In 1882.

Pert OF the leading article tells of
the great progress made in the pre-
ceding year. The stakes marking the
site OF the Hope House were driven on
the 18th of February, 1882, and the
doors were thrown open to the public
the following 2Sth day OF April. At
that time the Hope House was without
rival In the state, being m%agnifoently
furnished and electric lighted. Hope
was the youngest town in the world to
boast of "that latest wonder of sci.
ence." The building and furnishings
cost $50, 900.
On July 18th of the same year the
last spike val driven on the Hope
branch OF the st. p, M. & M. R'y,
and an excursion party of $50 people
visited here on the 26th as guests of
the Red River Land Co.
Stores, shacks, residences. barns

but it was not long until all available
homesteads had been fled upon. The
writer notes that ut is impossible to
purchase land within o reasonable
distande OF town for less than from $40
to 4l5 per acre."
And so the change has gone on from
year to year. Many Of those who we're
among the first to arrive here, have
gone to other fields or taken that
"long journey" New settlers have
taken the places OF the old; old land
marks have been destroyed; new struo-

LA BELLE Is STOCK FEATURE;
BIG WAR CONTRACTS REPORTED
IA BELLE WILL MANUFACTURE
SHRAPNEl BARS, ACCORD
ING TO REPORT.
Company May Close Negotiations for
Orders Agsresatine Between Six
and Seven Million Dollars.

That the LaBelle Iron works has re-
celved. or. at least, practically closed
large orders for war supplies was per-
slstently reported yesterday Although
lacking official confirmation. It was
learned from a source that is very
close to the LaBelle management, that
arrangements have practically been
completed whereby the LaBelle works
VIII manufacture war material for one
or the allied nations to the value OF be-
tween six and seven million dollars.
This information is regarded as re-
liable.
IL was said that the I.aBelle will
manufacture shrapnel bars. These
bars, II was stated. are to be of open
hearth steel. made from a particular
chemical formula. containing a higher
per cent OF carbon. This steel is FIRST
manufactured in the furnaces. then
cast into ignots which are rolled and
cut into the sizes wanted-three-inch
and hye-inch bars-which are then cut
into the lengths required.
IL was not stated which of the al
lied nations will give the contracts. II
was said they amount from between
six and seven million dollars and NAV
aggregate eight million dollars. II is
understood the contracts were obtain
ed al highly favorable figures.
The open-heart furnaces at the La
Belle works will be put in operation
soon, IL was learned yesterday.
To an Intelligencer representative
last evening Mr.. X. G. Kirk. president
OF the LaBelle Iron works. said: Il
have read the articles in the Wheeling
evening papers in reference TO our
concern securing millions in war or
ders, but so far l can say our com.
pany has not closed any contracts.
There Is an enormous tonnage being Of
fered the mills for munitions and war
materials. and we may at some future
time accept some of these contracts.
At the present time. however. we have
not closed any"
Mr.. Kirk emphasized that no con-
tracts have been closed" leaving the
inference that minor details are vet
TO be arranged. Mr.. Kirk said that
while some companies do not desire
so-called war contracts. the LaBelle
Is not averse to work OF this nature,
and may accept such contracts.

EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTORS.

Mr.. I. c. Prince. has arrived in mis-
city TO personally arrange for the
distribution of Tanlac. in Wheeling
and announces that IL will be dis
triouted here through the leading
drug store of Wheeling exclusively.
Tanlac." is the wonderful new dis
covery which Cor the past few months
has been introduced in the largest
cities OF the country with such re-
markable success. In Cincinnati
thousands have been visiting the Dow
Drug Store there. weekly and the
same response has been apparent in
Huntington. Blueheld. Knoxville.
Pittsburgh. and hundred other
cities since it's first announcement.
People. who for years have SUI
fered from complications OF diseases.
arising from a disordered stomach.
kidney or liver troutse. have testified
TO the wondrous powers OF the new
medicine. Thousands suffering from
nervousness. indigestion. headaches,
poor circulation. constipation. loss or
sleep, appetite and energy. have
spoken in the most glowing manner
OF the powers OF this new discovery
of L. T. Cooper's. known now IN
thousands of American homes every
where. as Tanlac, the Premier Pre-
paration.'
Mr.. Prince. states that a represen-
tative will always be on hand at the
drug store selected. TO explain Tanlac
and what II has accomplished. fan-
lac he sta<>s, is the result OF years OF
study and research at the laboratories
OF the Cooper Medicine Company OF
Dayton. Ohio. where the direction OF
Herr Joseph Trimbach. the eminent
German Chemist, Tanlac is prepared
from Herbs. Roots, and Banks, gath
cred from some OF the most remote
sections of the world.
l.. T. Cooper in the first announce
ments made of the new medicine, oe-
clared: In my opinion, there Is no
other medicine so far discovered
which will equal the action OF secure
the results of Tanlac" This state
ment has been amply verified by the
statements OF several thousand promi-
nent people in all parts OF the coun-
try who have used the Preparation IN
their own case. and after a thorough
test have acclaimed it a wonderful
medicine.
Important announcements will be
made later in this paper.
