Subscription Rates and Terms.
The PIONEER EXPRESS is sent only on
•the direct order of subscribers, and is
continued until ordered stopped and all
arrearages paid.
The rate of subscription is alike to all,
800 per vear. Subscribers payinsr in ad
vance have the choice of several premium
papers in addition.
"Sample" or "marked copies" are sent
as complimentary only, and while we de
sire them to be considered as invitations
to subscribe, they will not be continued
except upon request.
The PIONEER EXPRESS IS the best ad
vestisinjr medium in the county, having
a more general circulation than any
other paper. Card of rates sent on ap
plication.
Premium Papers.
The PIONEER EXPRESS cannot be re
sponsible for the stoppage before expira
tion or continuance after expiration of
other papers sent as premiums or oil
clubbing rates. We always contract, how
ever. that club papers shall be discon
tinued at the end of the subscription.
Subscribers should note the date of ex
piration of premium papers and if they
wish them discontinued refuse them
from the postmaster after they liave ex
pired. Taking a paper from the post
office is prima facie evidence that the
person taking it is a subscriber and
therefore liable for the subscription. Any
person win) pays up arrears and orders a
paper stopped and thereafter refuses the
paper at the postoflice. need not fear any
responsibility for further payment. In
any case of irregularity, change of ad
dress, or other business matter write to
the publishers of the premium papers.

Safety and Convenience I
"Safety" is the password in transferring money—
"convenience" is also of equal importance.
You have both safety and convenience in money
matters when you pay by check.
A check account is the simplest method for every
one—for you—to employ in financial affairs, because you
have a complete record of every transaction.
We invite your account
All accounts, large or small, receive same prompt^
careful attention.

Tongue River Flood
Reports from Cavalier and Hamiltop
are that the expected rise of the Tongue
river has come to pass. A very large
area of land comprising thousands of
acres is flooded. The city park at
Cavalier is overflowed and at Hamilton,
rafts were used to get to the station and
in places near there the G. N. track was
under water. The i. flood however, in
itself means nothing more than tempor
ary inconvenicnce and will soon pass
away. Ordinarly^it would have done much
damage to seeded fields, but this year
the water is likely to subside about as
soon as seeding commences. Though
the water will probably leave some land
wet that' would otherwise be ready
sooner.

River* Weather, See4la|.
The Red river at
thiB
point has been
dropping during the last week and is
now five or six feet below the high point
of a week ago Wednesday, when it was
was about 8 feet from the planking of
the bridge. The weather has been very
cold for this time of the year, freezing
every night and a cold north wind in
the day time. Snow is slowly disappear
ing but the remains of the big drifts aie
still plenty. Seeding prospects are very
dubious, though a few days of warm
bright weather would make wonderous
change. The ground was dry last fall
and unfrozen during the winter and is
greedily absorbing much of the melting
snow. Under the best of conditions
there cau be but little seeding done be
fore the 6th of May. This is late but
does not mean a failure of the harvest,
unless we have too «arly fall frosts.
The high price of barley and the late
seeding is likely to decrease the wheat
acreage and increase that of barley and
other crops.
