Openinu the Warrior.

The rivers and harbors bill has been passed by the House, and 1t goes to the Senate altogether too early in the session to be talked to death by a mountebank from Montana or else where.
 It carries not only a sufficient ap- propriation for the building of Locks Nos. 3 and 4 in the Warrior, but through the untiring efforts of MT. Underwood it also carries appropria- tions for borings and the definite loca- tion of Locks Nos. and 6. This ap- propriation will save years tine, and the rivers and harbors committee will be all the more apt to hasten the opening of the river to the forks of the river, to which point all sur veys have beef made but Locks Nos. and 6 nave not been definitely To- cated. Ordinarily when an appropria- tion is voted to build locks, the en- gineers then proceed to locate them by boring and finding what kind of rocks or earth is under them. Mir. Under woods item in the new bill will cause this work to be done before appro- priations are made for Locks and 6, thus saving at least a years time.
 When Locks and are built tho Warrior will be open to the forks of the river, or to a point fully abreast of Birmingham, and eighteen miles from it. and near the railroad bridges of the Frisco and Southern Railroads. To a great extent the river will then be available, and the coal coke, iron and steel of the district can be barged to the sea at about 35 cents ton. This should crystalize into fact in 1904. and Mr. Underwood's foresight this year may give Us an open river two years hence.

A huQe Cotton Trust.

A Boston special states that the South is to be treated to a very lively trust, consisting of the Virginia-Caro- lima Chemical Company, the American Cotton oil Company, the Planters Compress Company and the American Cotton Company. These companies are at present capitalized at $1OO, ,420,- TOO. What the capitalization will be. in case the trust is formed, can only be left to the imagination. It may be another billlon-dollar affair, for it pro. poses to handle the entire crop from beginning to end.
 The promoters of the combination boldly announce that the field is the United States cotton crop, which is to be ginned at profit of one dollar a bale; to crush the cotton seed; to refine and handle the oil; to feed g.. 500, 900 cattle, and to manufacture all fertilizers needed in the South. The profits-on-paper of the new trust are to rival those of the steel trust

Baseball This Year.

This town is a good patron of base ball. provided it is winning ball. There must be at least team that has living chance to win the flag. A team that consists of weak batters and slow base runners will not attract people in this town. Fast ball players are wanted, and it is believed this long felt want will be supplied this year in this town.
 The new field manager is a baseball player, and if the team does not do good work, he will know the reason why. He has behind him a pitching staff that is full of promise, and the outfie1d at least will respond to all calls upon 1t. The infleld may need strengthening, and if 1t does this can readily be done. It is a pitchers game. after all is said and done, and it is believed that no team in the I<GdSu6 VIII OO PSA O''oOA the box than Birmingham, although Little Rock and New Orleans will pre- sent pitchers of known merit. It is, however, too soon to say whom some of the teams in the league will be able to present as pitchers. So far as one can now judge, the teams will each and all start out well-balanced and hopeful.
 This means that better ball is to be played in the South than ever before, and this means in turn that this fine outdoor sport will be well patronized. No town will support hopeless team, and there is no such team in the South ern League. The Birmingham team Is full of hope and ginger, and it will at the end of the season be either at the top or very near to it. If the new pitchers prove to be good ball players, the team will play winning ball from | the outset.

Steel and Iron Pficas.

The phenomenal demand for steel may, lead to an advance of $2 ton, with a corresponding advance in iron, especially in foundry iron, which is very scarce. Such an advance would not be violation of the law of SUD- ply and demand, for consumption in this country is outrunning production, huge as the latter is.
 It Is hoped, however, that runaway prices will not occur, because such prices operate in a short time to lessen consumption, and the condition of af- fairs becomes soon very unpromising. It would be better indeed if the pres ent profitable prices could be ad- hered to without any advance what ever in either iron or steel But when contracts are offered covering at least one-half of 1903 at higher rates the temptation is very great. It is said the implement manufacturers have placed orders for steel that extend to July 1, 1903. This sows confidence at least in the prosperity of the com ing year.
 The demand for foundry iron is well maintained. This iron is largely made in the South, and the capacity of Southern furnaces.a and especially those of this district, is carefully studied by iron men throughout the country. The SIP price for No. foundry Birming- ham is scarcely considered by buyers as the limit. They fear a rise, and they fear, too, that there will not be enough Southern iron to fill all cupa- loes. Altogether the iron situation is very promising, especially if con servatism and longheadedness prevail, and all combine to prevent prices that wiI check consumption.

The White House,

'1 am glad that President Roosevelt has opposed the scheme of the Congress sional committee on public grounds and buildings to enlarge and change the White House." remarked man who has spent much time in Washington.
 Tt is well known fact that the White House Is inadequate for the purposes for which it is used-the Presidents home and the executive office. But as MT. Roosevelt says, it is an historic building and must not be materially changed. There is no structure at the national capital that is more symmetrical or stately than the White House, and no architect can enlarge it without destroy ing it's symmetry. The congestion of clerical business could be relieved by erecting an office somewhere in the White House grounds.
 When the White House was built nearly hundred years ago, it was thought to be more than ample. But the President then got along with only one clerk or secretary and this assistant needed very little room. Today the Pres ident's clerical force including telegraph operators and ushers, numbers about twenty"

AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS.
Largest Firm in France to Remove to the United States.

New York, March 22.-A story calcu- lated to cause sensation among auto mobile makers and users, and one which, If true, is of interest to all manufactur- ing concerns, will appear in Automobile Topics tomorrow.
 It Is to the effect that what Is recog- nized as the biggest automobile manufac- turing plant In the world is to be re- moved from France to this country. This is the plant of the Panhard-Lavassor firm, the president of which. Monsieur A. Clement is now in this city making ar rangements for the deal. It is said that the machine as now made In France will be made here. shipped to the other side and simply put together there, the pres ent factories in France to be maintained as assembling rooms. The reason as signed for this move Is that the cost of manufacture will be so much less than in France and that the French firm will have an advantage in what is now their home market.

HOMER GEORGE.
Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 Homer George, formerly of the Consti- tuition, but now of the Birmingham Age Herald spent Sunday and Monday in At lanta MT. George is one of the most promising young newspaper men in Ala bama and is rapidly making name for himself in the field of special and indus trial artices to which he has devoted considerable time of late. In speaking of Atlanta and Birmingham yesterday, he said:
 There ought to be a closer trade rela- ton between Atlanta and Birmingham than now exists, and l am surprised that Atlanta's wholesale merchants have not pushed their goods into Alabama terri tory more than they do. Of course every body in Birmingham Is familiar with the superior merits of Atlanta as purchas- ing center over other Southern cities in the territory, but Atlanta's individual merchants are little known comparative ly speaking It strikes me that Alabama presents a splendid field that has not cen properly appreciated. On many oc- caslons I have heard prominent business men of Birmingham comment on this fact
 Birmingham is moving forward in an amazing fashion and has future before her that even the most sanguine do not properly appreciate. As soon as we get a better class of buildings-and that is only matter of time-we will begin to rival Atlanta in metropolitanism, for we already have the business
