PAR RAPIDS WO N Bemidji Loses Fast Game of Foot ball on Home Gounds Yes terday Afternoon. Park Rapids won from Bemidji handily yesterday afternoon at football by a score of 10 to 0. The game was far and away faster than the first one with Grand Eapids and the opinion of every body who saw the two games is that the Park Rapids club is thenever faster of the two. The weather conditions yesterday were de cidedly unfavorable. The first half was played in a snow storm and the grounds were slippery and in very bad condition. Park Eapids won the toss and took the east goal. The game was fast from the start, but the Park Eapids bunch were superior in team work and made steady gains around the Bemidji ends. A brilliant feature of the first half was the touchdown by Ress ler, who succeeded in breaking away from the bunch and getting over the field for a clean touch down. In the second half Pickles made a touchdown for Park Eapids but the team failed to kick goal both times. The Bemidji team marked improvement simply unfortunate in ing. With good prospects for a touchdown it several times lost tha ball on fumbles. It went through the Park Rapids line for frequent gains, and its team work was noticeably better than heretofore. Arnold and Bren nan were out of the game. Both are good men. The individual work of the home team was good all around and ib is no dis credit to them to lose to the Park Eapids boys. The latter are a gentlemanly lot and they -play football with a vim, snap and display of "noodleism" that is appreciable at all times and entirely to their credit. 1 SS^KG^3aHE2&SEm22 shows a and was not scor- A Worthy K. of P.

Subscribe for The Pioneer. **ww WtW i^MMciwnw The Ethel. A well known Colorado com pany has opened an office in Moore & Weidrich's office in the Markham Hotel block with an ex hibit of its minerals. Some of the western mining journals have commented favor ably on the company, one of which, The Daily Mining Record of Colorado Springs, the recog nized leading mining daily of thereporter west, says that "The Ethel is one of the best companies on the mar ket, "while the National Banker of Chicago after making a care ful investigation made the state ment that "anyone making an in vestment in this company would have cause to regret it." The fact that this company has spent nearly three years in pros pecting and developing its grounds and placed its properties on a mining basis, not only elim inates the "chance" feature to a large degree, but makes the in vestment particularly desirable to those who are looking for^an opportunity to invest a portion of their surplus capital.

Many Warships on Duty. It is said at the navy department that the only news received over night from the isthmus of Panama was a brief dispatch from Rear Admiral Glass announcing the arrival at Pan ama of the monitor Wyoming. That vessel left Acapulco in company with the cruiser Marblehead and the gun boat Concord, but was not ablfe to keep pace with them and so they parted company. The other two ves sels arrived at Panama several dayB ago. There are now seven vessels guard ing the interests of the United States on the isthmus of Panama. Of these are on the Pacific side, the cruis ers Boston and Marblehead, gunboat Concord and Monitor Wyoming. On the Atlantic, or east side of the Isthmus, are the cruiser Atlanta, the gunboat Nashville and the training ship Dixie. This-'fleet will be re-en fbrced in a day or two by the battle ship Maine and the president's yacht Mayflower. Rear Admiral Coghlan, commanding the Caribbean squadron, Read Admiral Walker, president of the Isthmian canal commission, and Consul General Gudger, who, it is ex pected, will be given diplomatic pow ers at Colon, are passengers on the Mayflower. WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. President Discusses Affairs on the Isthmus. Washington, Nov. 16.President Roosevelt embraced the opportunity afforded by calls upon him of a large representation of loth the senate and the house of representatives to dis cuss with members both of the ma jority and the minority the situation which has arisen out of the establish ment of the republic of Panama. The nature of the action, if any, to be taken by congress during the ap proaching session on the Panama canal question has not been deter mined definitely tut it is known that it is constantly the subject of con ferences between the president and members of congress. A difference of opinion has devel oped regarding the authority con ferred by the Spooner act upon the president. It is known that the ad ministration holds that the Spooner act furnishes ample warrant for the president to negotiate a treaty with Panama and to pay the money made available for canal purposes by the law to Panama instead of to Colombia.
