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. The BJgjic House complete,
including furniture, coot iter near fifty tliou

branch of tlie St. P., M. ifc M. railroad, thus
putting us at once in di^ct communication

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

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)

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.

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

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.
Ladies should make a note of it, and so ar
range their domestic affairs as to be able to de
vote several hours on Tuesday, May 1, to at
tending the opening which will take place on
that day at Baldwin's Grand Arcade, and in
spect the rich display of fine dress goods, laces,
ribbons, bonnets, and the many pretty little
ornaments with which ladies like to adorn
themselves in order to please the male portion
of creation. Don't forget next Tuesday.
Hardy Appples for Dakota.
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.
