MAGNETIC STATION BE
 ESTABLISHED DISTRICT

Concerning the work in the mag netic division, as explained by Capt. N. H. Heck, chief of the division who departed yeaterday for Fairbanks, it is stated that the magnetic devia- tions from the true north change from year to year and that it is on ,ly by making constant observations that the charts may be accurate. The reason for these changes is unknowA \ and the deviations are not regular, thus the only means of determining the exact differences ic by actual observations.
 This is done every five years in the United States proper and every 10 years in Alaska.
 The only magnetic station in Alas ka is at Sitka, in charge of F. P. AL drich. He will be relieved from sta- ton duty this summer and make trip through the Territory. A station will be established somewhere along the iralroad. Captain Heck expects to return to his office in Washing ton, p. C., next month.

 Ram Dulal shared in this burst of commerce and prosperity. His business transactions were founded upon never-failing integrity, and through the hectic years he amassed possibly the greatest private fortune in all India. He did more than that. He won a place in the hearts or his countrymen similar to that which Wash ington won in the hearts of the men of the Con- tinental Army, and even today the natives of the section where Ram Dulal lived consider him something of god. They make sign of rever- ence when his name is mentioned.
 American firms were quick to appreciate the prestige which his representation gave them in the East. Their relations with him were most cordial, and finally q group of them decided to get together and present him with gift which would suitably express their high regard. In this group were such firms as Barring Brothers. Lennox and Son. G. S. Higginson, c. & D. Skin. ner, Singleton and Mezick, s. Austin, Jr., W. c. Appleton, E. B. Crocker, E. Davies, J. J.

Dudack last year made a great |

Manager William Lasky of the
Burritt A. G. baseball team has
come out with a tlat-footed chal-
lenge to the Falcons for a game or
a series of games He states that the
Rurritts wish to play the Falcons
for the city championship at any
time, any place, for any amount of
money. sidebets included or on the
basis of winner take all.
This matter Of the city champion
ship is one that each year hobs up
and each year is hardly decided. 1t
Is our suggestion that, to make it a
real city championship affair, the
teams DESTROYS OF playing for the
city championship should arrange
round robin or elimination tourna-
ment of games.
We believe that the winner Of the
Industrial league and the winner OF
the City league should be included
In the playoff. We think that any
team in the city, regardless of what
the other teams think about them,
should be given a chance to play in
the series. Then. and only then.
could the ultimate winner be class
ed as the champion of the city.
The Burritts and the Falcons may
arrange for a series of games to de-
termine the championship of the
city. If they play, the winner may
claim the championship of the city,
but 1t can hardly be recognized as
such until it clears the field of all
challengers.
We think, because of the natural
rivalry between the Falcons and the
Burritts that a series between these
two would be one OF the biggest
baseball sensations in the history OF
the sport in recent years in this city
The two clubs are recruited mainly
from the Polish people of the city
Their teams are made up OF a cos
mopolitan array of stars. They eacf
represent club that Is great riva
In sports Of the other.
Whether or not the two managers
can get together on the subject i
more than we can say. That Is thell
affair and theirs alone. The Bur
ritts and kensington team could no
agree on series, but a series be
tween the Burritts and the Falcons
would be natural
kensington has been for so lonl
