4 BAD ACCIDENT
 MARS THE GAME

The match game of baseball be- tween two teams of Skngway play CTS. designated as "MouKoy Wren chcs' and "W. P. A. Club" res pecCiyeIy. came off as per an uouucemeut yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock on the grounds of the W. P. A. club association, and was won by the former by a score of 6 10 ?. Notwithstanding Jhe boys have been out of practice since last season each team put up a good game. There were quite a number of spectators present at different times during the game, but many of the ladies did not stay long for, al- though 1t was a beautiful day, with .ae sun shining brightly overhead, a strong south wind was blowing, rendering it exceedingly cold and uncomfortable for anyone sitting uD- on benches in the grand stand.
 4 very regrettable acctjent mark cd the opening game of the season, whereby Charles Rapuzz., manager of the ". P. A. club team, had the eIuv bo.e in his right forearm broacu about three inches above the wrist. lIr. Rapuzzi was acting as catcher for his team a.d every thing had run along smoothly until 'ae last innings, when 8 batsmau struck at aud missed the ball, and uiyotiug around with the bat at arms length, struck tEe catcher, with the above result.
 Mr. Hapuzzi was hurried to pr. Gables office where his hurt was attended to, and he is now get ting along nicely.

Evening. Grain letter

Chicago. Jan. 5.-Wheat: Has ruled
dull but strong. The news did not
warrant the advance. There were re-
ports Of heavy rain in Argentine which
were exceedingly beneficial to corn,
but expected to interfere with wheat
movement. Weather throughout the
winter wheat belt favorable and long
distance weather forecast indicates
moderate temperatures and further
snow probable. Sentiment locally con-
tinues almost unanimously bullish and
there are very few who can give a rea-
son for their bullish view.
Corn-Has again declined under the
leadership of a very weak cash situa-
ton and prices at the close tonight are
1-2c under those of Saturday. Country
reports indicate quite a liberal run OF
low grade corn to this market during
the next few days. Further heavy
rains in the Argentine make the pro-
liabilities Of that crop very great and
there was three quarters million BUSH
els of old Argentine corn unloaded at
Galveston today. We have been advo-
sale Of July corn but believe with the
weak cash situation one should taxi
profits on this spread and await the
narrowing Of the difference before
again putting it out. Caution should
be displayed against selling corn on
breaks but on every upward swing we
advocate sales and especially of defer
red futures.
Oats-Followed the lead of corn and
closed with a loss of about lac for the
day. Trade was light and rather fea-
tureless.

CAUSES TARIFF CONFUSION
Minnesota r. r. Commission Swamp
ed With New Schedules. Which
Have Been Filed.

The offices of the Minnesota state
railway department are flooded with.
new passenger and freight tariffs made
necessary by the eastman and Ben
dixen laws which became effective
with the advent Of the new year. A
force of clerks was put to work exam
lining them to see whether they were
ures.
The Bendixen law. which was pass
ed in anticipation of an unfaVorable
decision by the supreme court Of the
United States in the Minnesota rate
cases, Is giving the most trouble. I'm
der it railroads can charge 8 cents a
mile for distances Of five miles and
less. This has resulted in much con-
fusion and the members Of the rail-
way commission are giving the mat
ter considerable attention. They ex-
peCt to issue a statement shortly eX-
planning the new order of things.
According to Commissioner Elmquist
the confusing feature Of the Bendixen
act. and which will call for consider
able explaining, is the fact that in rid
ing from station to station, where the
distance is five miles. for example, IS
cents will have to be paid by the pas
senger, while if the distance Is six
miles only II cents will be required.i
In many parts of the country there
are stations from two to three miles
apart and the increase in rate, the
commission says, will cause a general
protest.
Yesterday practically every railroad
operating in Minnesota, with it's sub
sidiary lines. had filed tariffs requir-
ed by the two acts. Nothing in the
shape of a protest or possible attack
by any of the roads on the CashmaIn
law materialized.

PRACTICAL WORK
. NEEDS HELP

One Of the most practical OF the
many institutions for doing good in
Fargo, is the Glad Tidings mission on
Front street. Through this mission,
.charitably inclined people Of the city
have found a means to do a great deal
of good. This is the time OF the year
when the mission is campaigning for
funds to continue its work through
1914 and a canvass Is no wunder way
to that end.
The mission has, an additional need
to meet this new year. being a note for
1880 which is due. Jan. 20, on the
new building. At the watch night
service held New Years eve a free
will offering OF 1853 was given toward
the note and Rev. Mr.. McCracken and
those associated with him are hust-
ling to raise the balance.
The Forum cofnmends this work ia
the people OF Fargo. AS has been
stated. it is of a decidedly PRACTICAL
nature, but 1t does more than clothe
and feed the body. The chief aim OF
the little mission Is to lift wrecked
lives to better things. Any person In
Fargo or North Dakota wishing to as
sist in a good cause will make no mig
take in donating TO the Glad Tidings
| mission.

provides the means which keeps the

1t is quite a different canal from
that which visitors in the last three
years have seen developing. Most Of
it's wonders are under water, now. The
locks are masterpieces of ingenuity
and infinite pains. The cut through
the Culebra hills is IN impressive
monument to the vast amount of ex-
cavation that has been done, and the
Gatun dam with it's huge spillway and
hydro-electric plant will long be one
of the engineering sights of the world.
But the rest must be largely taken on
faith. The canal workers chuckle
over this.
How Canal Looks Now. s<
Three years from now" remarked
a Authenticated foreman to a party of
visitors from New York, "there'n prob
ably be one of these here congress
committees down here and the first
thing thatIl strike EN- Will be where
the money went. Well never be able
to make 'em realize all that was done,
and before you know it they'll be
holdin' an investigation to see what
became of those millions and whether
all of 'em was really spent on the
canal" ~
The biggest Job of engineering con-
struction that Uncle Sam ever under
took now reveals itself as a wide strip
of clear water extending from Limon
bay, back of the Toro Breakwater,
through the four miles Of fiat country
between Christobal and the Gatun
lake. A channel 500 feet wide has been
dredged from deep water through the
bay to the shore line, but that, OF
course does not show at all. All that
can be seen is a wide stream, more
like the river than a canal alongside
the railway to Gatun, seven miles
from the entrance. This is the Allan
tic sea level.
