OF ALL KIHB8 DONE. fllMl There has also been a good dea\ of extravagant guessing by those opposed to this scheme as to the obstacles in the way of building a railway to Hud son's Bay. To set this matter clear the company announce that they have plans and field notes covering the entire route, made by competent engineers, and that a careful estimate fixes the prolable cost of building and equipp ing the road at $20,000 a mile. It is well known, however by those familiar with the country that there are no formidable engineering difficulties to contend with, so that the expense of constructing the road is not to be thought of seriously, considering the immense advantages that would ac crue We CBnnot' R. H.YOUNG, Editor ud Proprietor li»w %een ..- todurtdoiw. nil this out&r, In the midst of these' depressing times, in which the entire country shares alike, it (9 the good fortune of this portion of the great Xorth*west, to see, as we think, looming up very prominently a star ot promise which is calculated to infuse new hopes in the heart of cyety settyer, and tn the near future to Impart a stimulus £0 the development of our country that will surpass all former precedents. We need not say that we refer to the open ing up of the Hudson Day route to Europe. This t« a very pleasing pros pect to present to the readers of the PIONEER EXPRESS and we believe it is as certain of fulfilment as it isgrati fying to contemplate. The scheme may, indeed, be said to be visionary in the sense that its fulfil, mentis yet in the future and that it involves startling possibilities. But It must be borne in mind that there has scarcely ever been a great scheme presented to the world that was not at first greeted with a universal spirit of unbelief. And it is further to be noted in this^ase that there are interested corporations and business centres whose policy it is just now to throw cold water 011 this new enterprise. Montreal,Toronto, New York, Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and other cities of lesser importance would all look with disfavor 011 the development of a project that would tend to divert trade from their doors. It may be expected, then, that from such quarters will come many discouraging words and exclamations of derision. Of the advantages to Dakota and Minnesota, and especially to the Red Itiver Vivlley, that will follow the opening tip the Hudson Bay route to Europe, we will not now speak, but briefly refer to the available data which goes to sliow that the Hudson Bay and Straits are navigable for a sufficient length of time each year to admit of .the establishment of a great commercial route between the two continents, sufficient for the purposes which it is designed to serve. 'here are reliable records to prove tlifttaeyen hundred and fifty voyages havabeen made by that route with very few tosses, and this without the pro tection afforded by a system of light houses. But the testimony of Prof. Bell is the most satisfactory. He was twenty-five years on the Geological Survey, and spent six years on the banks of Hudson's Bay. His testi mony is clear and positive as to the practicability of the route. 80 is that of all others who have travelled in that region, so far as heard from yet. Mr. Geo. S. McTavlsh, of Pembina, spent fourteen yeajrs i9 the vicinity of Hudson's bay and he is emphatic in the belief that a good harbor may be had, free from jce at least four months in the year, and as far as Hudson's straits is concerned lie believes they are uavigable every month in the year. So far as we can team men of experience and observa* tion in the matter are believers in the practicability of the route, while the doubters and cavillers seem to know very little about it, having probably based their conduslousonthe obaelete descriptions and haphazard isothermal lines found in antiquated school atlases.. jrillinett to &C11. question as otherwise than one of porate the San Francisco, Winnipeg .. transcending importance to the people and Hudson Bay railroad. They pro ^chyce for the tovertinent o£Dakotaal.d ly, there were those who would not let the subject die until now there is every probability of the early con summation of a scheme that is destin ed to revolutionise the condition and prospects of this great cereal belt. Let Dakota join Manitoba in agitating Jkhls question that the country may see what there is in it for we are assured that as soon as the mists have been brushed away that an Indifferent world has allowed to shroud this question for centuries,'capital will flow In from every quarter to speed forward the development of this route, which, is destined to make the heart of this con* tinent beat with anew impulse. INTEXiUGBNCll, T5B BASIS OI* CfVUOZATlOXf. We are in receipt of a pamphlet con taining the address of Prof. D. L. Kiehle, State Superintendent of public instruction for Minnesota, at the lay ing of the comer stone of the Grand Forks University, including a pros pectus, also, of that institution. The subject of the address is "Intelligence, the Basis of Christian Civilization," which topic Pjrof, Kiehle unfolds in a very cjear, forcible and practical maiir ner. So luiq^i^us and suggestive are some of the pwsages in this address that we cannot forbear making a few quotations for tlie benefit of those who may not read it. The quotations we make will pot loae tj ielr force by being taken firom tiieir connection: "Itisan everyday obsejtyation concerning men that they mean w#, but lack wisdom in all their plans that they are very industrious in efforts, but very tuiauc .ceffsful in results, because they utterly misapprehend the situation.. And how tf ten must the best 194 wisest of men Hot wtaeM 01 WW di*«ver the means by 'yhich to ito what their h§art* have prompted. & %8S«8agBl wlakforM Won to Me«|M liibor.

FMDAY, FEftljtUAKY, 15,1884, a day. Still It la always instructive to listen to one who can bring the highest cr-Iture .to bear v«n the jpost practical aTsdrs of life. Accordingly the following paragraph is of Interest to tl»e farmer: "Furthermore, the advancement of our civilisation has greatly increased the complexity of our social life. Now the man on his farm ,is not only Inter ested in legislation At the capitol, but stil.l more immediately in tliecombina ions and policies of the great commer cial monopolies that determine the pric es of Ids grain. And the helplessness of ignorance has leen fully proven in t'»e unsuccessful efforts that have been often made by legislation to compel monopolies to show fair consideration to the rights of patrons. Taking our railroads as tlie most prominent example, in the broad and just view, their prosperity is conditioned by that of the people and as truly is the pros perity. of the people dependent upon the success of these magnificent enter prises for the transportation of the products of industry. Yet, in the con trol which the people^ in their legisla tlve capacity, have undertaken .to exercise in restraining or shaping tiie policy of these vast corporations, they have often betrayed an ignoiwnce that has threatened the prosperity of all concerned. Experience has proven that an enlightened self Interest is far safer than a stolid and blind, though well-meaning, simplicity. In the darkness you yourselves have doubtlesis of ten been quite persuaded that yon could hear spirits, or see ghoets. Argument could not dispel yonr nervousness but as the light dawned, the spirits and noises disap peared of themselves. Superstitions have had the same history. As intelli gence has prevailed, they have disap peared of themselves, without contro nobody knows when, and nobody cares where. It is also true, that the spirit of persecution is not wholly determined by moral conditions but largely by intelligence, and that with the increase of intelligence, there has developed a spirit of harmony and consideration tliat has made men tolerant and respectful." Mt Flaoe tor the Capital. (Jamestown Alart.) Yankton is said to be getting over on the side of prohibition. If such is the case it will no longer be regarded by the average Dakota statesman as a fit place for the capital even if Bic njarck-should not be decided to be the legal resting place for that much patronized bone of contention. Bev. Dr. Hanson lectured in SLPaul last week on "Fools." He should have had a full house. The county commissioners of Barnes county decided to tax railroad property holding that the exemption is uncon stitutional. The congressional committee on post offices is likely to report a bill for establishing postal telegraph without recommendation. It will not likely pass the present house, but the ball is moving. Miss Corson in a course of twenty five lectures has set Minneapolis cooks and housewives experimenting in the art of cooking. Much good will doubt less result from these lectures, if the rage does cost many a husband a trial of his patience in the meantime. An exchange says, smoking is going out of fahslon with some people. Gen. Grant has not smoked since Dec.29th. In Lisbon,D. T., a large number of leadinir men entered into a compact on Jau. 1st to quit and to forfeit $25 to the church each time they broke over. There is also a raid against smoking iu the East, Even Ben Butler has foresworn the filthy weed. A bill was introduced into the Otta therefore, regard this wa parliament February 6, to incor- Minnesota. A northern pose to connect with the American route to Europe has been a dream system of railways, probably by means indulged by many far seeing men it of the Fargo Southern which is to was discussed fourteen years ago in pushed this way the coming season the Manitoba legislature. Fortunate- be The St. Paul papers speak in high terms of the temper and manner of our delegates in their conference with manager Manvel. We are pleased to observe an entire absence of bluster c„.T, in the speeches of the delegates set- as desired from ttie government, ting forth the grievances of farmers in Chas. Moore the matter of wheat grading. Facts apd arguments are the weapons that telj in such cases, when they are backed up with a spirit of intelligent determination. Messrs. Garnett and Langton, delegate* from Peinbiua county spoke to a good purpose. The following from the Winnipeg Free Press will be of interest to farmers:— Editor of Free Preess: Sin Being myself interested in the question of frozen wheat for seed, las* certained the opinion of one of tlie Profesaors of the Institute of Agricul ture, South Kensington, London, a gentleman who occupies a foremost position aa one of the leading agricul# tural scientists of the day. He considers it decidedly unadvis able to sow frozen seed, but suggest that perhaps the frozen wheat may, after being kept through the winfe?, be more valuable for milling purposes than is generally supposed. As seed time is approaching, per? haps this information may prove valine ble to the many agricultural readers of your paper. •"A. J. McMillan.
