Local Man Is Being Urged as
Governor JOhnSOn'S Run
ming Mate.
LEADERS LOOK TO NORTHERN
MINNESOTA FOR CANDIDATE
Many Pleasing Assurances Of
Support Have Been Received
From Many Quarters.

Bemidji may be the home of
Governor Johnson's running
mate this fall. Judge L. G.. Pen
dergast of this city is being
strongly mentioned for the nom,
ination and from present indica-
tons it does not seem at all un-
likely that the honor of filing
second place on the democratic
ticket will fall on the local man.
81 am not seeking the Office"
declared Mr.. Pendergast to the
Pioneer today, "but there has
been some talk of my running
for lieutenant governor by my
friends, and if the honor were
offered me, naturally, I would
not decline it,"
What lends particular strength
to the candidacy of Judge Pen
dergast is the fact that Cole. re-
publican nominee for governor,
is from Walker, while Johnson S
home is in St. Peter. What the
democratic ticket needs to give
strength is candidate for lieu
tenant governor hailing from
northern Minnesota.
The democratic leaders are
beginning to realize this and are
casting their eyes in the direc.
ton of the north country for
available timber. It was this
move that gave rise to the boom
for Mr.. Pendergast.
Judge Pendergast is essential
ly a northern Minnesota man.
He is a pioneer in this part of
the country, having lived here
from the time when the first
development of northern lands
began. All his property inter-
ests are in the northern part of
the state.
But the men who are urging
the local man for the nomination
point out that he would be more
than a northern Minnesota can
didate, if nominated, although
he would fill that part of the pro-
gram we'll. Judge Pendergast
has lived in Minnesota for over
fifty years, and so is one of the
pioneers of the state itself.
When the War of the Rebellion
broke out the Judge was one of
the first to answer the call, and
fought through the whole war
with the famous First Minnesota.

The Beauty of the Snowflake.

The thin snow now driving from the
north and lodging on my coat consists
Of those beautiful star crystals, thin
and partly transparent They are about
one-tenth Of an inch in diameter, per-
feet little wheels with six spokes, with
out a tire, or. rather, with six perfect
little leaflets, fernlike, with a distinct,
straight, slender midrib raging from
the center. On each side of each mid
rib there is transparent, thin blade
with crenate edge. How full Of the
creative genius is the air in which these
are generated! l should hardly admire
more if real stars fell and lodged on
my coat. Nature is full Of genius, full
Of the divinity, so that not snowflake
escapes it's fashioning hand. Nothing
is cheap and coarse, neither dewdrops
nor snowflakes.-Henry D. Thoreau.

on account of a logging train
running off of the track about
three miles north of Blackjack

The cause of the wreck was
the spreading of rails, and four

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH TREE.
1t Is the Cherry and Is Found Wherever
South Germans Settle.

In late April the countryside in south
eastern Pennsylvania is everywhere
white with cherry bloom, says Indoors
and Out. Here and there are old trees
3 and even feet in diameter, all but
dead, but still putting out lush bloom
from two to three branches; trees whose
height ard spread and girth would al
most persuade us that they We're the first
seedlings from the cherry orchards and
cherry lanes of our German ancestors.
The gardens of old Germantown were
thick planted with the many sorts of
cherries dear TO the hearts Of South Ger
mans; the lanes of old Germantown We're
cherry lined, and thence for generations
on generation cherries had been bird
sown over the surrounding hills.
There is hardly Il township in the tier
of German counties of Pennsylvania that
has not it's Cherry hill or Cherry valley,
and in the German counties nearer Phil

In this district in which the cherry is

man communities in Ohio, Indiana, Him

MEXICAN TREATY SIGNED.
Long Quarrel Over Rio Grande Water
Rights Settled by Signature of
Important Document.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May I'll
Secretary Root for the United States
and Ambassador Casasus for the McXi-
can government today signed a treaty re-
gulating the use of the waters of the
Rio Grande which, if approved by the
Senate, will remove what has been for
twenty years past a source of friction i'll
the relations of the two countries. The
Mexican government guarantees the
United States government against any
suit for liability on account OF claims of
individual MeXiCans who have so far
suffered through the diversion Of water
For almost Il century Mexicans along
the lower river have used its waters for
irrigation But in recent years private
companies on the upper waters in the
United States have with wing dams di-
yerted a large part of the water to this
side of the river. The Mexicans have
preferred claims for damage, but without
success Now the plans Of the reclama
ton service have made it certain that
practically all of the water will be re-
tanned on American soil, unless some
proper scheme of division can be ar
ranged The construction of the 81 900
600 dam across the Rio Grande at Engel,
New Mexico, brought the matter 10 IL
climax.
The underlying principle Of the conven-
ton is the recognition Of the common
law right of the Mexcans to the use of
n fair share of the waters, but as the
United States pays for the great dam
and canals, the Mexican share Is only II
fractional proportion.

by the earth's motion. we estimate that
its attraction is $50, $50 times as great
as the earths and therefore that the
suns mass is that many times greater
than the mass of the earth. knowing
the weight of the earth 1t is easy to
estimate the weight of the sun by this
method of comparison. In the same
way the weight of Jupiter, Saturn, We
nus, Neptune or any other planet may
be ascertained by comparison with the
weight of the sun, basing the calcutta
tons on the amount of attraction the
sun exercises over these planets. But
first the earth's weight must be esti-
mated to form basis for the other
calculations.
The same principle is applied, The
pyramid will be used as basis for the
first estimate. a plumb-bob will be
swung from the apex of the pyramid

small body, namely, the pyramid, for
the plumb-bob and the greater attrac-
ton of the large body, the earth, for

ramid having been estimated, the
weight Of the earth will be calculated
by multiplying the pyramids weight
by the number Of times the attraction
Of the earth for the plumb-bob is great
er than the attraction Of the pyramid
for the plumb-bob. From the standard
thus fixed the weight Of all other bodies
