October IL, 1912, at Durham, N. H.
He moved to Hutchinson, Mimi,
with his parents in April 1857.
This was in the territorial days OF
Minnesota, one year before it was
admitted to the Union.
When the civil war broke out,
Mr.. Pendergast enlisted in the First
Minnesota Regiment, on April 20,
1857.
He served with honor in the
First Minnesota Regiment until
Oct. 20, 1864, when he was trans.
ferred to Company C, First U. S.
Cavalry, where he served during
the remainder of the war, being
mustered ont of service June 27,
1864.
Mr.. Pendergast was pretty much
of fighter during the t;> ar.
He participated in twenty-five
battles, among which were the first
and second battles of Bull Run,
the Seven Days Fight, the Cam
paign on the Peninsula, the South
Mountain and Antetem and alse

Efforts were made by the attor-
neys for the lumbermen to get Mr..
Clark to state what profits the
Shevlin- Carpenter company h a d
made, and both Mr.. Clark and the
attorneys for the railroads protested
vigorously. The interstate commerce
commission upheld the protest, and
said that the witness did not have to
testify as to the profits of his
business.
Mr.. Clark stated that the interests
of himself and his associates we're
even greater on the Pacific coast
than in Minnesota, but that. they
were entirely in timber lands, and
that no mills were operated there.
He said that he held, with Thomas
Shevlin, large timber tracts on Van
couver island and near Vancouver
on the mainland that Mr.. Shevlin
had timber holdings in Oregon, and
that timber was also held in Mon
tana.
The Minnesota mills had been
driven out of the North Dakota
territory, said Mr.. Clark, by the
continual encroachments of an
Oregon and Washington firm. AS the
value of Minnesota lumber increased,
they were able to sell less and less
of it in in North Dakota. At pres
ent, he said, they could sell little
beyond Devils Lake, distance of
ia miles from Crookston. He
thought the rates into North Dakota
ought to be more nearly equal as
between the Minnesota producers
and the Pacific coast producers.
What's troubling you," said
Attorney Teal of the lumbermen's
side, is not what rate will get the
lumber into Dakota at price which
will let the consumer buy it at a
moderate figure, but what rate will
enable you to get your lumber in
competitive territory, isn't that so?''
Mr.. Clark admitted that he was
figuring on being able to complete
with the Pacific coast product.

ENGINEER RALPH WOULD
AMEND STEVENSON BILL
Believes Bill Should Embrace Provision for Taxing Home.
steads for Drainage. ....Mr Ralph Tells of Work
Being Done by Drainage Board.

George H. Ralph, official engi-
neer for the Minnesota State Drain
age Board, was in Bemidji yesterday
on his way to Grand Rapids to in
spect the work being done on the
state ditch in Itasca county.
Mr.. Ralph has read the bill for
drainage in Minnesota, which was
introduced in congress a. few days
ago by Congressman Steenerson of
Crookston. Mr.. Ralph says of the
bill:
Il think the Steeuerson bill is
alright, but there is very urgent
amendment nseded with reference
to allowing the assessment of the
cost of building bitches against land
holders under the homestead law.
In many instances in northern
Minnesota the work of constructing
bitches that would have been a
great benefit to the homesteaders
was hampered and delayed for the
reason that right-of-way could not
be acquired through the homestead,
neither could the homestead Ian d
be assessed for any part of the cost
ofgconstruction.
sAS these assessments may be
spread over a series of years (the
first installment being payable IN
five years after the ditch is con-
StruCted) such assessment would be
no hardship to the homesteader.
On the contrary, the assessment

Governor Johnson has appointed
L. G.. Pendergast of this city custo.
dian of the old capitol building in
St. Paul, to succeed Colonel Trow.
bridge, deceased.
The announcement was made in
special telephone message received
by A. G. Rutledge, editor of the
Pioneer, yesterday evening, as fol-
lows:
"St. Paul, Dec. 26.-A. G. Rut-
ledge, Bemidji, MINI: Governor
Johnson, late this afternoon, an
nounced the appointment of L. G.
Pendergast of Bemidji to be custo-
dian of the old capitol building at
St. Paul, to succeed Colonel Trow-
bridge, deceased, the appointment
to be effective at once"
The appointment came as sur
prise to Mr.. Pendergast, and was a
Christmas gift, although day late,
duly appreciated by the judge"
who has accepted the appointment.
Mr.. Pendergast was candidate
for lieutenant governor on the demo
cratic ticket during the campaign of
1906, and made a surprising run for
the office.
The northern Minnesota friends
of Judge" Pendergast will be pleased
to hear of his appointment, which is
a remunerative one. and which is
Justly deserved. Mr.. Pendergast
has a large following in this part of
the state, and being a member of
the G. A. R., of course is very
popular with the old soldiers of the
state.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1907-12-27

would be a great benefit, as it
would permit the building of roads
and the development of the country,
which under present laws cannot
be drained, and they could not
be ditched as equitably.
AS to the work being done by
the the state board we are pre-
pairing to let contracts for the con.
struCtion of about a dozen state
bitches, the contract to be let in
the middle of February. These
bitches will all be drainage chan.
nels, varying in length from ten to
twenty miles and will drain large
area. AS these bitches will have
highways along the banks con.
structed from the earth excavated
from the ditch, it will not only be
great benefit to adjoining land
owners but will also connect the
isolated settlements which are now
cut off by the intervening swamps.
The open winter which we are
having is very favorable to our
work, as we are enabled to make
surveys much more cheaply and
rapidly through swamp country
over frozen ground than we can
when the swamps are full OF
water"
Mr.. Ralph left last night for
Grand Rapids and expects to re-.
turn to St. Paul by the first of
next week.

URGES ATTENDANCE At
FORTHCOMING MEETING
State Senator Cook Tells of Benefits of
Proposed Meeting of Commercial
Club Representatives.

The meeting of the delegates
from the different commercial clubs
throughout the state, which will be
held in st. Paul the early part of
January, means much to the resi-
dents of every sction of the entire
state of Minnesota" says L. c..
Cook of Wabasha, member of the
Minnesota State Senate.
Mr.. Cook was visitor in the city
last evening, having come up from
his home for the purpose of going
from here to Wewona, where he,
together with Secretary of State
Schmahl, Commissioner of Immigra-
tion Welch and George H. Ralph,
state drainage engineer, have pur-
chased a large tract of swamp land,
which they will drain and put on the
market for sale.
Mr.. Cook wished to get the
attention of the members of the
Bemidji Commercial club to the
meeting to be held in St. Paul in
January for the purpose of forming
a State Federation of Commercial
clubs for the purpose of pushing the
development of the entire state.
The meeting to be held in jan
uary is not for the purpose Of boost
ing the twin cities or any other par
ticular portion of the state. 1t is
for the expressed purpose of getting
the country people more in touch
with twin city business interests, so
that the results may innure to the
benefit Of both. Heretofore the two
largest cities have been accused OF
hogging' everything in sight, and
the promoters of this meeting desire
that the country towns send a large
delegation to confer with the city
folks relative to the best methods tc
pursue for the general development
Of Minnesota.
The work being done by George
H. Welch, superintendent Of the
State immigration Bureau, will b
explained at the Forthcoming meet

to receive suggestions from those in
attendeuce at the meeting as to the
wants of their special localities along
along the line of inducing settlers
to locate where they are wanted in
the state.

ton which will be ready to offer
suggestions for the organization of
the federation of the commercial
clubs" concluded Mr.. Cooke.

MINNESOTA 'I' MANDOLIN
AND GLEE CLUB IS COMING
Forty Talented College Men Will Give Fine Entertain
ment at City Opera House Saturday Evening"
Best Organization in the West

The entertainment which the
University of Minnesota Glee and
Mandolin Club gives is of course
musical, and the boys pride them
selves upon having among their
number some of the best artists
in the west. AS the Minnesota
football team always places her in
the front rank and often at the
head of western athletics, so her
Glee and Mandolin Club has estab.
lished its standing as one of the
most thoroughly developed of all
of the organizations of its kind
in western universities and colleges,
and many say its work is equal
to almost any in the east.
The program, though musical, is
not recital or even what is gen
orally termed a concert. The
music is presented in a scene
bubbling over with college life and
enthusiasm. There is nothing
staid and solemn about it. One
minute the boys are carried away
with irresistible mir h,
and the mirth is contagious
beyond the foot-lights; the next
minute they throw the same heart
and zeal into one of the beautiful
compositions which they have
worked over and studied together
until they feel the impulse of every
note; and again the stage is the
scene of wild college enthusiasm,
an emotion which is second only
to patriotism and is felt much more
strongly by those who are in the
midst,ef college interests and asso-

j Citations, and those who have
emerged from them after their
!! college time is over, than patriotism
ever stirs in the breasts of most
people.
This is a spirit which comes
naturally to the youth who has
reached the junction of boyhood and
manhood or travelled little beyond.
He has the maturity to realize and
accept the serious things, he sees
irrresistably the ridiculous and
comical things, and he siezes both
with the life that only youth con-
tributes.
Those students who are mixed
up" in the many branches of student
activities and do the most work for
college organizations, are the ones
who receive in return the greatest
amount of affection for their Alma
Mater" The football men love
their college, not only because it was
there that they made some of their
fastest friendships and formed some
of their most lasting associations,
but because they fought for her
honor and fame. So it is with the
debators, the members of the
Dramatic Club, and those of the
Y. M. C. A. The men OF the Glee
and Mandolin Club do not know
how much they really love their
college and the fellowship which
they have found there until they all
get off together for their annual trip
and the time has come for them to
show what they have been working
at together for the first four months
of the yeat.
