SHOW LEAD FOR RHINEHART

Pierre. s. D., May 3l.-Returns filed
here up to this evening. indicate the
practical certainty Of the nomination
Of Rinehart as the democratic candi-
date for governor, as the vote with six
counties out, four Of these west of the
river-Butte, Meade, Harding and Mel
lette-and Day and Sanborn east Of the
river, give Rinehart 6,5S5 and Morcom
5,3l4. .i.. -.
Rinehart claims Meade by 225 and
Butte by rs, which will give him a
lead which is not likely to be over
come. .t.... a &c.,.
Figures compiled I'm the contest for
the republican congressional nomina-
tion In the Third district seem to as
sure victory for JIG. Bartine, Of Ly-
man county over. e. o. Patterson, Of
Gregory county. On nearly complete
returns from 16 counties the vote Is:
Bartine, 3,131; Patterson, 2,791. In this
compilation the counties Of Harding.
and Bennett are not included, with five
precincts missing in Meade county and
two in Haakon. OF the vote yet TO be

innate Is that Bartine will have a clear
lead Of about 400 votes in the district.

Dallas, 8. D., May BE. o. Pat

certain. 1t has been impossible to get
detailed figures from the various
counties of the district and the local
committee probably has as many fig
ures as other headquarters. Mr.. Pat
terson said this morning: Il would not
be surprised to learn that Mr.. Bartine
has been nominated. 1t seems quite
useless, however, to speculate about
the matter until the count has been
made" ,4. . 30 =, ~. ..' 7
The Rosebud counties gave Patter-
son a majority of about 1900. Lyman
county gave Bartine a majority of
about 600. This leaves a margin of
500 votes, in Patterson's favor, for the
outside counties OF the district The
Bartine forces claim their man has q
lead Of 300 In the six Black Hills coun-
ties, but the local estimate is for al
most an even break in that region.

The jand forests of the Punjab are
spread over the arid. alluvial plains.
where, as a rule, the rainfall does not
exceed 10 inches. The area covered is
$500 square miles. The tree is re-
markable owing to the length OF Its
taproot, specimens having been found
with tap root as much as "a feet In
length descending vertically to a depth
OF 81 feet. This tap root enables the
tree to obtain its water from the per-
manent water supply in the subsoil.
Doubtless at one time the tand lived
in a region liable to flood, since IL has
been found that no natural regenera-
ton occurs in the jand forests, though

II seems probable that the explana-
ton of the long tap roots is due to the
effort on the part of the tree to keep
