land would have smaller cleanup
than usual, owing to the shortage of
water, but few would secure their
quantity of gold. Farm prospects
were never better for fruit promised a
good crop, grain and grass had fine
growth and the range was affording
fine feed and stock were in good con-
dition. The frequent light showers
OF this spring has brought delight to
the farmers, while to the placer
miners only disappointment has been
their portion.

Norris 6 Rowe Circus.

For the season of 1905, Messrs.
Norris g. Rowe have decided to step
into their proper place in the ranks
of the big circus owners OF the world.
BY earnest endeavor they have now
laid secure the foundation for the
perpetuating of an honorable name to
their succeeding generation, name
they hope will live forever as synony.
nous for all that is good and worthy
in the realm OF the white tents For
the past II years they have been very
successful in building up .their for
tunes, until at present they have es-
tabished an institution that ranks
fourth in size with the greatest
amusement enterprises fn the world.
The profits accumulated in all these
years have been taken from the banks
and expended for complete new equip
ment for their Greater Circus" and
the latter will be found to be all that
the name implies. 1t is with justifi.
able pride that these young circus
proprietors point to past achieven ent
and future accomplishment. In the
II years of the existence of their
shows. no touch of scandal nor unfair
dealing has tainted their fair name.
No games OF chance were ever allowed
around their organization. No an
nouncement was ever made OF per-
formers, acts, animals or parapher-
MALTA they did not possess Every
promise made was literally fulfilled.
There is no community where the
Norris and Rowe shows have exhibit
ed but will vouoh for the accuracy of
Norris q Rowe's statements and their
absolute confidence with which their
announcements are greeted. so 1t is
with more than ordinary interest that
the public regard the present tour.
The notable characteristics of the
Norris & Rowe tour this year is the
rhyme and harmony with which so

by the two teams came from Tusca- loosa last night:
 The coming game between Alabama and Auburn furnishes abundance of mat ter for interesting if not altogether ac- curate speculation as to its outcoma. Both teams have played three teams in common: A. and M. of Mississippi Van derbilt and Clemson. In all three of these contests Alabama has come out with the better showing. In the game against A. and M., the crimson and white came out thirty-four points to the good. while the best that the orange and blue could do was to roll up IS points. It is true, however, that Alabama played them when they had had only about one weeks practice while Auburn took them on about two weeks later
 In the game against the Commodores Alabama made decidedly the best show of 4 points against 54 for Auburn While it is true that Alabama played them earlier in the season, yet that does not offset the truth of what has been sad for McGugin had a bunch of veter- ans against Leavenworth's green crowd.
 In the games against Clemson, the crim- son and white also showed up to better advantage, though the scores made were practically the same. When Alabama met Clemson In Columbia her men were bruised and battered from a gruellng contest with Georgia Tech just four days before and worn out with travelling and poor hotel accommodations. Notwith- standing this, she held the Tillmanites through fifty minutes of play to five tcuchdowns. On the other hand. wher Auburn and Clemson met, it was on ne formers own soil, and 1t was the latter that had had the hard trip. Still the latter won by five touchdowns and in only thirty-five minutes of play. It is true that Foy Auburn's remarkable halfbaok, was out of the game.
 It seems a toss-up as to which will win, for there are other factors than comparative scores to be reckoned with. The only thing that seems at all evil dent is that both teams will score. But which can do the most of it remains to be seen, though at present Alabama seems to have the better offence.
