Anu tue dtuictIC uO1S want tHefn ltIiC-
ed-Some objection on the part of
adjacent property owners-Meeting
of the committee to consider the mat
ter-Laid oyer until the board of re
gents meets next month Other notes.
The base ball men are down to
hard work and it will not be their
fault If the University does not have
the best team in its history during
the coming year They expect TO go
into the season WITH the material
and if the coach can do them any
good the team will be all that it can
be expected to be.
The manager has already secured
the coach. This is Altman who is
well known here. He will get the
team in good shape and his efforts
will be bent toward getting an or
ganization together that will be able
to swipe anything of its size on the
turf.
Contracts are being signed up
with all the teams with which there
are to be games. w. and j. will be
here for two games on Decoration
Day and these contests will draw
large crowds Other games are also
being signed up and the men will
face the best schedule ever placed be-
fore University team.
Their crying need is for a fence
around the athletic ground For
years the teams have been going in
TO the hole largely on account of not
being able to hold up the people who
90 to games and make them pay for
the privilege. There are lots of peo-
pie and many students are numbered
among this distinguished assembly
who will sneak into a game if they
possibly can and avoid paying any
thing TO see the contests.
In order to avoid this the associa-
tion asked for money to build fence
and they were given it by the last
legislature There is now kick on
hand against it by some people
who don't want their view spoiled
by an ugly fence.
The matter came up before a COM
mittee and the manager of the base
ball team tried to get an order
passed allowing him to build the
fence. The committee left it for the
board of regents who will be here in
April. DR.. Raymond stated that he
was in favor of gym events but that
he wanted to see base ball and foot
ball abolished in the University if
they did not succeed in getting on a
paying basis soon At the same
time he was not very enthusiastical-
ly in favor Of fence which is GER
tainly one great help towards plac-
ing the teams on their feet.
The final disposition of the matter
has been left to the regents with the
proviso that the base ball team is to
have fifty dollars for the two games
that are to be played before the
meeting and that will result in
losses if there is no fence built until
after that time This is move of
Mr. Sturgiss who has guaranteed it
himself in case the board will not
pay it.

Must Borrow Money.

1t is evident that the Board Of
Public Works will have to borrow
money to meet the demands on the
treasury made by the several appro-
priation bills passed by the Legisla-
ture at it's recent session. OF the two
million dollars appropriated, over
eleven hundred thousand dollars is
to be paid out for the first year. The
money now in the treasury added to
the receipts, that can reasonably be
anticipated will not be sufficient to
meet the demand, and loan from
the irreducible school fund will be
necessary.
The demands on the treasury for
the first year will be

DEEPENING ALABAMA RIVER.
a Project Evidently Under Way
tha. NouIa Mean Big Things TO
the Alabama Iron Trade.

Selma, Ala, April 12.-Dufihs the
past week an experienced engineer
from Pennsylvania was in Selma TAX
ing the elevations and otherwise max
ing inquiries into the feasibility OF
deepening the Alabama river by sys-
TEN OF dams 30 as to allow ocean-go-
ing vessels to come up as far as Sell
ma. Selma is 120 feet above tideeatert
and the purpose is to construct ten
dams, at intervals, on the river. which
will give 3O-foot depth at all times in
the channel. The engineer who, af-
ter making careful study in the mat.
ter, gives it as his opinion that each
dam could be constructed at a cost not
to exceed 100000 making the total
cost of turning the Alabama into a
ship canal about $4,000, 600. In whose
interest the engineer, who made the
estimates, came TO Selma, is not
known, but he had talks with citizens
who gave him all information in their
possession. Selma is only few miles
from the coal and iron fields. and the
consnmmation of this undertaking
would mean great things for northern
and central Alabama.
