A MAN who has seen almost all of
1 the Southern league teams
this season gives the following es-
innate of them:
Playing above its forn-Mobile.
Gone plumb crazy-Chattanooga.
Playing below their formal
lanta, New Orleans, Montgomery.
Just about right-NashVille.
The dangerous clubs-Atlanta,
Birmingham, Memphis.
The probable pennant winner
Atlanta!
You can take this for what it is
worth He didn't charge me any
thing for it.
IAN 1t be that we have all been
under estimating the Memphis
club a good bit this year? 1t looked
mighty good while it was in At
lanta, but we all took it as some
thing exceptional and not likely TO
be repeated-like a satisfactory
umpire But somehow the Turtles
keep right on playing good ball.
They look little too light for the
job of finishing in the first division
Just as Bill Smiths Chattanooga
club does. But they have certainly
won the confidence of all the teams
that have faced them this year and
they are right up within striking
distance Bill Bernhard fooled us
once with a second-rate ball club.
Maybe he will do it again.

PRICE OF CARPETS ON THE RISE

NEW YORK, April 1O-The prices of carpetings and rugs are likely to advance sharply within the next two months, according to trade announce mentS, owing to the scarcity of de. Sirable carpet wools in the markets of the world. China wools. which are used to a considerable extent for filling purposes, are scarce because of the revolutionary disturbances in that country. Shipments from Tien., sin are decreasing and cable adviCcs say that receipts from the interior in that market are very light.
 Russian wools also are bringing high prices. The adoption of scieU- ttfic sheep growing methods which produce a quality of wool more suit. able for the manufacture of clothing than for carpets is said to be the cause of the advanced cost of the cheap Russian wOolS

MS. s. C, HAWKINS.

The death of E. c. Hawkins, pio- reer railroad builder of the North, is noted with sorrow by a vast army of friends in Alaska whom MT aaw- kius has made during the many years in which he has been engaged ill the works which will stand as a monu- meut to hts memory here in the NorthlaDd
 The passing of Hawkins calls to mind the group of pioneers in. Alas ka who first conceived and carried into execution the idea of connecting the head waters of the mighty Yu- kon and the tidewaters of Lynn Canal by the White Pass and Yu- koa Railway over which for ever a decade the life and blood of the Yukon has come and gone. north with the opening of navigation on the inland rivers and south with the freezup in the fall
 MT. Hawkins was the first Enginee to perceive the vast possibilities in the Northland for the building of Railroads. He it was who conceived the idea of furnishing the missing link m the great highway rom Puget Sound. through the heart of Alaska and the Yukon to the Boring Sea He it was who promoted the White Pass and Yukon Railway and located the right of way up the valley of the Skagway river and through the White Pass
 Fate has been cruel to the group oS argonauts of the first railroad movement in the North. Few of them have lived to reap the re- ward Of their great work done here. Naught remains of them but the memory ot their deeds which will 90 down in the history of the de velopmeut of Alaska and the North land
 Amongst the mon whose lives were linked with MT. Hawkins in the building of the first railroad to be attempted in the North. the White Pass and Yukon. were John Hisrop, NJ. J. Heuey and Samuel H. Graves, These men have all been relieved of further duty by the Creator; MT. Hislop. shortly after completing his labors on the White Pass: NIT. Heney. upon the completion of his second great task in the cause of transportation in the North. the building ot the Copper River North. ern Railroad, and Mir. Graves but a short time ago.
 Mr. Hawkins began his work on the White Pass in 1897, in the oapa- city os Chief Engineer and Superin- teOdent of the work. He also held the position of general manager. Up- on the complexion 6f the White Pass he severed his connection with the road and again linking his fortunes with those of N. J. Heney began the construction of the second railway in the North, the Copper River Northern. His labors completed last fall. he severed his connection with that road.
 A the time of his death MT Flaw kins was no doubt figuring on an other conquest Of the mountain bar rieTs of the North where high way of commerce might be lead through a heretofore impenetrable pass developing the resources of a vssk new country.
 Not only will the passing of MT. Hawkins be a distinct loss to the CaSlse of developing the Northland, but a personal loss will be felt by the countless number ot friends whom he has made ? Nafe working vsthl ana kr taeGpeoPle of Alaska
