How the City of Hj|e Was Built, Like Aladdin'^. Wonder ful Pali What Was Accomplished by En ergy and Plucllin North Dakota. Plenty of Eooiu Still Loft for All Those Who Want to Work: Triflers, Idlers and "Bummers Xot Wanted in H»pe or its Vicinity. Willi tiiis issue of tlie ^PIONEER begins its second volume, and it is eminently proper that we at this time, just as we have passed what is usually the most critical period in the his tory of a public journal, take a retrospect ive glance and note what progress has been made, not alone in the paper, but in the town and community which it seeks to repre sent. And for this purpose it is necessary that we go back to a little, over' one year ago, when the present town site of Hopo and tho sur rounding country was almost in its primeval condition, the foot of the white man having hardly as yet trod its virgin sod. Then tho nearest point to a railroad was some thirty miles, and no settlements had been made either north or west for many miles. Here and there might be found a hardy frontiers man who had squatted, awaiting the coming of civilization. But the magician came, in the shape of an army of workmen, with all their tools and mechanical appliances, Mid lo, tlie whole scene changed in the JjeiMing: of an eye, so to speak, and behold, at eweo arose, as if by enchantment, one of the #bst beaiitifiii of the young cities of North Da&ta, fully equipped with all the appliances anjl luxuries that mod ern civilization has rendeml necessary for the comfort of man. $ On tlie 14th day of Febjpary, I8SX, tli£ first stake was driven on the B® where now stands the Hope House, and on 1|j» 28th day of April following was thrown otofu the doors of the magnificent structure, tlftt is to-day with out a rival in North Dakota, complete in every department, includ}® the electric light, Hope being at that time fjie youngest city in the world that could boasfyf that latest won der ot science.

On the 18th of '—'-.jrtKT: was ^1 veil on tho Hope branch of tlie St. P., M. ifc M. railroad, thus putting us at once in di^ct communication with tlie rest of the world. On the 20th of July a large party of excursionists, numbering about 250, visited Hope, being guests ot the Red °.f Bite March 20, 1883. IHH'1. viz: 0 the qr of sec oii, tp 144 57 w, and names tlie follow mg as Ins witnesses, viz: E E Graves of Fargo 0, T, John O'ConneU of Fareo 0, I) T, Lyman Freeland of Valley City Po DT Seth "VVylaud of Valley City O, l7T the tetl tiinony to be tak^n before tho TT, 8. land office, Fargo, I) ou the 22d day of May, 18SIJ No. 10,657 for the north of Sec. 20, Tp. 144, B, te following as his wit,, "t.

T., on tlie 14tl/ •Jrt. at his office AUSTIN Whic1 on- ihe most tertained them at the newTio'^*™1" 51 sumptuous manner. In tlie meantime others had not been idle. A« soon as the plat of Hopo was completed a large number of lots were disposed of to per sons',aiixioiis ty locate in the new town, and a large force or mechanics were soon hard at work, and new buildings liegan spring ing up in every direction^ until the prairie became dotted all over with stores, ware houses, offices, restaurants, livery stables, etc., which were opened as fast as completed with full lines of the various goods and wares for which they were intended, the goods in many cases being on tlie ground before the buildings were more than half finished, so that when the last rail was laid it practically found a town perfect in all its departments and ready for business. But, says some one, if the country was unin habited who was to buy tfte goods And this is probably the most wonderful part of all, that a town should be .built before the country was settled up. But those familiar with Da kota and Dakota methods will not wonder so much at this as those who are not. Scarcely had tlie for Hope been selected, and before the town had been platted, when land-hunters were swarming in every direction, and by tlie time the railroad reached hlire there was hard ly a quarter section of land that had not been filed upon, and much of this land has already changed bauds several times, and each time at very greatly enhanced prices. In fact, it is impossible at the present time to purchase land anywhere within a reasonable distance of Hope for less than $10 to $15 per acre, according to distance from Hope and the quality of the laud. While all this has been accomplished in the short space of twelve months, we have not by any means come to a standstill, but already are evidences multiplying that now that the icy shackles of winter have been cast off we are about to witness a new Impetus in tlie way of improvements, and we veuture tho prediction that ere an' ...-i wintor shall have set in tlie business and population of Hope wiil have increased more than 100 per cent While we have representatives here of nearly every class ot merchants, and while t*e mechanic arts are represented by a set oRartisang who have no Biiperiors in the couutrjf there is yet room for all who may desire to cc-me, whatever may be their occupation or callbg. Let none stay away who are prepared to jsbineand work, but we have no room for idlersjknd triflers, and we bare yet to meet the man woman who has come to Hope who has n2succeeded beyond his or her most sanguinsanticipalions. Of course energy and industw are as necessary here as in older couiDiun|tii'0 "fctli Who comes to Dakota e- Ski PIONEER "When the publication of the paper \pas first commenced the printing of itwaB done at Minneapolis. As soon as the railroad reached Hope and a proper building could be erected for its accommodation, the paper was moved to Hope, bringing with it a flrst-class newspaper outfit, including a new power press, and all the latest styles of type and necessary appliances for doing fine job work of all kinds, from the tiniest visiting card to a mammoth poster. Shortly after moving to Hope it be came necessary to enlarge the paper, owing to increased space being demanded by tlie mer chants of Hope to make known their business. Since then the business of the paper has con tinued steadily to increase both in advertising and in circulation, until to-day no paper in Dakota lias a more solid foundation upon which to build. Of the merits of the PIOHIEB editorially, our modesty will not permit us to speak, but we think we may safely say that in typographical appearance it has not been ex celled by any paper in Dakota. With many thanks for the generous patron age bestowed upon us in tho past, and with an assurance that nothing shall be left undone by us to advance the prosperity of Hope and its citizens, tlie PIONEER enters upon its second volume confident of success. The Election in Traill County. On Thursday, April 19, 1883, a special elec tion was held in Traill comity for the purpose of selecting a site for the county seat of that county. At the present time we have but few details of the result, which seem to indicate that Traill Center lias a majority over all. The Mayvillo Eagle conies to us with over a column of headlines and not a single figure to indicate the vote polled, which looks to us very much as though it was a cut and dried affair, and as though tho paper was printed before the election was over. Tho Portlaud Inter Ocean is more modest, and says that 673 voteB wore cast, and that fr»m all "indications Traill Center has a handsome majority." We con fess that wo do not understand the modus operandi whereby two small villages like Port laud and Mayville cau cast more votes than there is population, except upon the "vote early and often, and vote all day" principle, which seems to have been pretty successfully practiced at those two places. On the llooiit. Notwithstanding tho fact that our farmers are all busily engaged in seeding the golden gram, our streets have presonted an animated appearance all week, teams coming and going in e\eiy direction, and our merchants report that never has trade been so good as at tho present time. What with receiving their spring as 10 p. in. in order to get an opiftrtunity to! unpack and mark their goods. Trafe antona) the lumbermen has been especially Iwsk, and they report a constantly increasing douSgid for all kinds of liuiidiag material. Had we the convenience of a cooiLhridnn itrxm imgnmnr" and' ottbis about time that lii'i'i'i''iMn?un-flri?t ilu.'" by the citizens of Hope looking to providing more and better sidewalks. There are many points in tlie town to which persons are frc called that at times are almost im passible, notably is this the case iu regard to the street leading to the church, and mauy ladies are deprived the pleasure of attending church owing to this fact. This is a matter that should receive prompt attention. It gives us pleasure in this connection to be able to state that the property owners ou the east sido ofThird street have taken the initiative stops 'a good, sub stantial walk between Steele and Hubbard avenues. Now let the owners of property north of Hubbard avenue do likewise, and then there will bo a good walk all the way to the church. The Public School. The spring term of the Hope public school commenced on Monday morning with a fair attendance of children for a first day. The School Board has been fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. McLaughlin, of Illinois. This lady has for some years been the first as sistant in one of the leading high schools of Illinois, and brings to her new field ot labor an experience that cannot fail of being in the highest degree beneficial to tho children who may come under her charge. Wo hope that all parents will see to it that their children are punctual and regular in their attendance, and thus aid the teacher, to the extent of their ability, in maintaining the discipline that is es sential to attain the best results. Lirense or \o License. At the last meeting of the Board of County Commissioners of Griggs county there were two petitions on the liquor question presented, one with 375 signatures attached asking that no license be granted for the sale of liquor, and the other with 129 signatures in favor of license. The Board of Commissioners has sug gested that at the special election which is to take place on the second day of Juue next to determine the question of a division of the two counties of Traill and Griggs and the formation of the new county of Steele the voters of Griggs county give expression to their views on this question, and thus instruct the County Commissioners what action take in the premises. Scene on Steele Avenue. "Oil, Annie," exclaimed one of the Jiellos of Hope, a day or two since, as she met a young friend, "I'm so glad to see you. Mother just sent me down to Mr. Baldwin's Grand Arcade to get a few yards of cotton, and Mr. Sey mour—but isn't he polite and attentive, though —would not let me leave the store until he had shown me all the new goods they have been receiving, and oli, my, they have just got every thing you can think of, and the- are just too nice and pretty for anything, afed so cheap.

How the Metropolis and Its Busi ness Will be Affected by the Increase. An Invitation to Capitalists, Me chanics and Others to Make Their Abiding Place at Hope. Two years ago, we are informed by a gen tleman in every way reliable and one who has been thoroHghly conversant with the history of this country for several years, there were but five bushels of wheat raised in what is now known as Griggs county. Last year, in the country immediately surrounding Hope, and which comprises only a portion of Griggs county, there were raised somewhere between forty and fifty thousand bushels of wheat, and this year, from the most reliable Information that we have been able to gather in regard to the number of acres that will be ajgdod, the amount of seed sold, and such tion as is to be gleanod from far in various sections of the torrli "asthej'L. share of tfaVliT»a nusiii^ follow a successful harvest, and in their search for a locality we advise them to by no means fail of visiting Hope, and look over the mauy excellent opportunities that are here presented either to the merchant, manufacturer, capital ist or mechanic. Here the merchant will find an intelligent and refined class of people, all of them well-to-do and many of them mm. paratively wealthy, and who have he«n accus tomed to and require all theconi'orts and lux uries ot life the manufacturer, whether it be oi bricks, tanning implements, clothing, shoes, or any of the thousand and one articles that are intended to lighten labor and add so much to the convenience and happiness of man, will find a broad field at present almost wholly un occupied, and one that will yield a rich return on every dollar that may be invested the cap italist will find cheap town lots and chtap farm lands that are rapidly increasing in value, a class of merchants that are doing a safe and prosperous business, and are naturally anxious to extend the same, enterprising and financially sound farmers, all of whom, in the natural course of business, will at times need capital to oarry on their enterprises for the mechanic and laborer there is an abundance of work at the highest wages. To all who may come we can assure in advance that hearty welcome for which Hope and its citizens have become noted, no matter what their calling or from whence they come. A Grand Opening.

Considerable doubt is being manifested in regard to growing apples in Dakota, but as Southern Dakota is no farther north than Ver mont, New Hampshire and Northern New York, where many varieties of hardy apples are raised iu abundance, it would seem that there is nothing in the way of growing them here. Dr. Hopkins, of Newport, in Northern Veruiout, who lias given much attention to selecting the hardiest varieties for that region of severe winters, has recently made a list of bar dy varieties for the Rural New Yorker. He gives among the early hardy varieties as tested by him the Tetotsky, Yellow Trans parentand Duchess of Oldenburgh, the latter being very handsome and heavy bearing, its only fault being its moderate quality. He pro nounces the "Wealthy "the king of all hardy apples,"keeping till March the Magog Bed streak standing next to the Wealthy as a hardy winter sort, and Scott's Winter coming next. Among tlie sorts that hav« been entirely de stroyed by cold are the Yellow Bell Flower, Red Canada, Grimes, Golden, Grarenstein, Canada Reinette, Fall Orange, Golden Sweet, Fall Pippen and ethers. From his experience it would seem that tbe king of fruits can be profitably cultivated in a nortf vlnnrniia /iltinata nnlv VnmilnUn ii/iinn thick hedgi !', inber willow or some otlic rapid grrf^i- 'it is certain that tV. ment tried and that a few ssrve to- C, the question whether v" ||iles or produce tb' AX 7lr-UTMlwl, in our estimate, there will be not&K Ulan t&o hundred and fifty thousand bmkiit'fr tp/fcat raised, with an ordinarily faTwUda- *«isoti that will seek Hope as a maik»jt or for^hip' nient, and next spring thq/npiiiWrf acres that will be prepared for s6ed wlll Jbf nearly double that of the present We state theBe facts—and there ifi Bp i'booin'' talk in this-as au evidence of thfe rapidity with which this section of the Red/Blfa Valley is being developed and the wif I^Sight under cultivation.
