MR. E. C. HAWKINS.
The dea'h of E. C. Hawkins, pio
reer railroad builder of the North, is
noted with sorrow by a vast army
of friends in Alaska whom Mr Haw
kins has made during the many years
in which he has been engaged in the
works which will stand as a monu
ment to his memory here in the
Northland.
The passing of Hawkins calls to
mind the croup 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
kon Railway over which for ever
a decade the life and blood of
the Yukt?n has come and gone, north
with the opening of navigation on the
intend rivers and south with the
frtvzup in the fall.
Mr 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 in the great highway from
Puget Sound, through the heart of
Alaska and the Yukon to the Bering
Sea He it was who promoted the
White Pass and Yukon Railway and
located the right of way up the
valley of the Skagwav river and
through the White Pas*
Ftote has been cruel to the group
of argonauts of the first railroad
movement in the North. Pew of
them have lived to reap the re*
ward of their great work done here.
Naught remains of them but the
memory of their deeds which will
go down in the history of the de
velopment "f \laska and the North
land
Amongst the iwti whose lives
wwv linked with Mr. Hawkins in the
building of the first railroad to be
attempted in the North, the White
Pass and Yukon, were John Hislop,
M J Heney and Samuel H Graves.
These men have all been relieved of
further duty by the Creator; Mr
Hislop. shortly after completing his
labors on the White Pass: Mr
Heney. upon the completion of his
second great task in the cause of
transportation in the North, the
building of the Copper River North
ern Railroad, and Mr Graves but a
short time ago
Mr Hawkins besan his work on
the WM*e l*ass in 1S!>7. In the capa.
city of Chief Engineer and Superin
tendent of the work. He also held
the poMtlon of go?*PM manager. Up
on the co?rpl<<K*i +< the White l^as-;
he sweened hrs connection with the
road and again Unking his fortunes
wRh those of M .1 Heney began the
construction of the second railway
ia the North, the Copiper River
Northern. His labors completed last
fall, he served his connection with
that road
At the time of his death Mr. Haw
ktae was no doubt figuring on an
other Conquest of the mountain bar
riers of the North where a high
way of commerce might be lf?<i
throng* a heretofore impenetrable
pass developing the resources of a
vtert oew country.
No| only will the passing of Mr.
Hawrkins be a distinct loss to the
cause of developing the Northland.
but a personal loss will be felt by
the countless number of friends

Indian tribe, has filed an action in
the district court against the Copper
River & Northwestern railway to re- ,
cover damaces for the alleged ruth- 1
less disturbance of his grand fa tiler's
grave and remains. The chief se<s
| his damages at $10,000. It is alleg- 1
od in the complaint that the skeleton !
of the deceased chief was left lying j

With the approach of spring, the |
Yukon fur traders begin to manifest,
a livelier interest in winter catch.
Natives have been bringing in some
furs during the coki months, but the
greater number will come as soon as
he water begins to run. Some out
side fur buyers have established a
regular line of travel down the Yu- ,
kon, and each spring come in via
Whitehorse and pass Dawson with
launches Some of the Yukon local
traders do not wait for the traveling
buyers, but take out their own stock
The product annually from this terri
tory is worth many thousands of dol
lars

It will bo recalled that Dr. Weyer
horst's appeal to the district court

conviction, on the charge named, his
belated diplomas arrived from the
south and he has sine? built up a
large practice on the island. ,
William Taylor, superintendent of
the White Pass & Yukon river divi
sion and ex-officio general agent at
Whitehorse during the last year, and
former general agent for the company
at Dawson for several years, has re
signed. He goes into the shipping
brokerage business In Victoria, says
the Dawson News. James Lipscomb,
former general agent for the White
Pass at Atlin, and Mr. Taylor, it is
said, have formed a partnership in
the new brokerage venture.
It is understood Herbert Wheeler,
for years superintendent of the royal
mail service of the White Pass and
the company's winter stage service,
is to be the new superintendent.
This, however, is not known "n au
thority in the Dawson office, but it
is believed to be correct.
M r. Taylor was one of the most i
competent and most genial men ever j
in the transportation business in I
the North, and leaves a host of 1
friends who regret to see him leave j
the Yukon Mr. Wheeler known the
Yukon well, and should prove a cap- 1
able man n the new position. Some I
think Mr. Wheeler may be asked to 1
perforin thj work of superintendent
of the winter stage and mail super
intendent as well sis to serve as ]
steamer superintendent. lie return- j
?-il to Whitehorse several days aio, 1
after visiting Victoria. Mr. Taylor
has been in Victoria since early in :
December He was general agent at 1
Whitehorse for the White Pass for
years before coming to Dawson as
general agent.
PRICE OF CARPTS ON THE RISE.
NEW YORK, April 10 ? The prices
of earpetlngs 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 *o a considerable extent for
tilling purposes, are scarce because
of the revolutionary disturbances in
that, country. Shipments from Tient
sin are decreasing and cable advices |
say that receipts from the interior hi j
that market are very light,
Russian wools also are bringing [
high prices. The adoption of scien
tific 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.
