RAILS THERE
Opinion Changes When Sup
 plies Reach Dawson.

Word was received last night of the ar rlva of the rails for the construction of the Hawkins railroad st DiwsOn. They went down on the Mary Graf which ar rived at Whltsho,se on the return trip yesterday. ltis said the arrival of the supplies at Dawson had the effect to ab- solutely change the status of the public mlnd as to Mir. Hawkins and his railroad. The statements made through the Dawson papers by Mr. Hawkins were not given whole hearted acceptance. There was disposition to accuse the astuts and ener- getic little railroad builder with slipping a cog on the deal in hand. However. the change in the public sentiment was h. stIntaneous when ton after ton of rails and other supplies began coming off the Mary Graf onto the dock at Dawson. The re- action was s, great that Mr. Hawkins Is now quite the hero of the North, and It Is safe to say that hls next appearance In Dawson will be hailed with delight.
