LUMBER RATES
 ARE CONDEMNED

The recent action of the Cotton Belt, Iron Mountain and Rock Island rall- roads in announcing an increase Ill the freight rates on all lumber eX- cept yellow pine is being strongly condemned by local business men and lumber dealers, says the Little ROCK Gazette It is asserted that the ad- vance is unfair primarily and that Arkansas and Little Rock and Pine , Bluff in particular are being discrim- mated against
 In the notice sent out by the rail- roads an increase of 1 per cent per hundred pounds on shipments north of the Arkansas river and an increase of cents on shipments south of 1t is announced. At the time the rail- roads were criticized, and now a move ment is on foot to request conference with a view to adjusting the obnoX- ious rates.
 The shippers of Little Rock, includ- ing business men, lumber men and manufacturers, think they can present the case in such a light that the rail- roads will see that 1t is to their ad- vantage to yield the point. The To- cal freight bureau, which has ac- complished so much in the fight for lower rates, thinks that it can show the increased rates will drive indus tries from the state, and consequently decrease the roads revenue.
 The shippers say if uniform raise had been announcd for the whole state that there would have been no dissatisfaction, even though it would put Arkansas lumber dealers at dis advantage in competing in the same markets with dealers who draw their supply from other states. It is be- cause the law will benefit one sec ton and kill the industry in another that they are dissatisfied, they say. As the matter stands at present, the raw material from the vicinity of Tex other standard commodity, which brings the same price in every mar ket. Cotton and lumber have always been rated in this manner, as each must be sold at a quoted price, wheth- CT they are put on sale near the place of production Or not. This action of railroads operating in Arkansas es- tablishes a precedent.
 The new rates will be effective March 1, and under their provisions the scale will be raised in Arkansas, while the lumber dealers in Missouri will be in the same position as former ly. The Missouri factories and the Arkansas factories both draw their be able to outbid the Arkansas manu- arkana chiefly. By reason of the in crease, the foreign manufacturer will be able to outbid the Arkansas ffanu- facturer in territory near the fac tory of the latter. This means that the home man must either be content ed with less profits Or remove to some
 other state where he can compete on more equal terms.
 There are many stave factories in Little Rock and Pine Bluff. They are not only put to disadvantage in bid
 ding against foreign manufacturers but are unable to pay as high prices for materials as is paid by the fac tories in Wynne, ParagOuld and other plants north of the Arkansas river. 1t is predicted that if the rates remain long in effect the industry will be fore ed to desert this city.

 The words, uttered in loud tone of displeasure, caused the passengers on an Olive street car to look in the direc- tion of the speaker.
 A man was sitting about the middle of the car next to the aisle, reading a paper.
 The passenger who spoke had stop ped beside the man W ho was reading. The latter absentmindedly offered his fellow passenger a nickel

MARS AND ITS CANALS.

BOlSed nlSn III tHe nllu-HedNeHS, the planet Mars presents to the naked eye merely steady gleam of reddish light. Under a powerful telescope, however, it reveals con- ditions which excite imagination and wonder. According to an eX- change, the latest discoveries have been embodied in book form by Di- rector Lowell of the observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz, location admir- ably suited to telescopic investiga- ton, because the air is dry and clear and still.
 Cautiously enough, the American Desert, in the heart of which the Flagstaff observatory is located, is a counterpart of the physical surface of Mars. Viewed through the tele- scope, the planet presents a vast area of reddish-brown or ocher-co1- ored surface, with large patches bluegreen in color. There is no doubt the former are deserts, for dust storms are at times plainly discernible. In fact, Mars has reach ed that point in it's evolution where it stands between the moon, an arid and desolate body, and the earth, which is still we'll watered and fertile. The blue-green patches are undoubtedly great areas of veg citation. The most curious feature of Mars, however, is the network of canals which cross it's surface in all directions. These canals, first seen by Schiaperelli in 1877, have since been the subject of much conten- tion, and many astronomers have gone so far as to say that they ex- ist only in the imagination of the observers-in other words, that they are optical illusions. Director Low ell, however, has demonstrated be- yond doubt that they really exist. for not only have their changes been observed, but they have been photo- graphed. They are remarkable creations, not only because some of them are two and three thousand miles long, but also because they are from one to twenty-five miles wide. The narrower canals appear in the telesJope like thinnest gos- samer, and are only visible as glimpses under the most favorable conditions. The larger ones can be studied with more certainty. At the intersection of the canals are round spots which are either lakes or oases.
 The purpose of these canals has been made apparent after years of persistent and thorough study. They radiate from the poles of the planet. which are situated in the ice caps which form during the long win ter The Martian year is twice as -ONe oS OuA ., anu JHC WIuleE IdSlS six months. During this period the ice and snow gather at the poles. This congealed vapor covers a large territory, but is not of great thick ness, for it melts rapidly, and dur ing 1904 the ice cap at the south pole entirely disappeared. The in- habitants of Mars unquestionably carry the water from the poles to the arid regions for the purpose of irrigation. There is no more doubt of this fact than of the existence of similar irrigation in the arid plains of our own West. Ocular demon stration exists in the change of color of certain portions of the planet from dark-brown to green shortly after the ice caps begin to diminish through the melting pro- cess.
 Mars is certainly inhabited. We know almost everything about it except the character of its inhabi-

tants. We know that they live on planet which has a remarkably nat surface, the highest elevations be- inc ,ittle more than 2,000 feet, where the atmosphere is very thin and where water is scarce. There is vegetation on the planet, as on the earth, and, reasoning from analogy, life must be similar to ours. Whether in the course Of fu- ture years our information regard ing our neighborins world will be- come more definite is a question now beyond our ken. Enough is al- ready known, however, to warrant many accurate statements and to stimulate the imagination to the highest degree.

The international Marriage,

A British peer recently married the
daughter of an American millionaire,
having settled upon himself an income
of $4,000 year by the father of his
wife. He conferred upon the American
girl his t tie and the right to wear the
family jewels. A few years have pass
ed and the couple have signed articles
of separation, divorce proceedings hav-
ing been avoided, it is said by interces-
sion of King Edward. The British
peer retains his income of 1000
American dollars, and the wife retains
the title she bought and the right to
wear the family Jewels. This is SAM

does not commend itself to those old
fashioned people who believe that mar.

Tariff Reform Demanded.

Gov. Guild, of Massachusetts, has
prepared an address to the President
and Congress, urging immediate revis-
ion of the tariff. And yet the stand
patters would have US believe there is
no tariff revision sentiment of any con-
sequence in Massachusetts outside the
Democratic party. AS this Republican
governor has invited the legislature
and citizens of all parties to sign such
an address, he would hardly have done
so unless he was certain that his invi-
tation would be generally accepted and
would meet the views of majority of
the people. 1t may be politically nee
cessary for Gov. Guild to show his be-
lief that tariff reform is necessity for
Massachusetts, for there is not much
doubt that as an issue it will be para
mount at the election of governor next
fall.

The War Scare.

There is no doubt whatever that the
present war scare is manufactured for
special purposes. While it is true that
the Japanese resent the action of the
San Francisco school board and that
the propositions made as the basis of
the proposed treaty are distasteful to
them, it is also true that they hesitate
to take eny action that may strain dip
iomatic relations in the least. The
japanese appreciate the fact that if
they should engage in war with the
United States, they could expect no
sympathy, much less assistance, from
any civilized nation. The japanese
are not going to do anything at this
time that will prevent their obtaining
an equal standing anywhere, with the
msot favored nations.
The San Francisco School board affair
is not to be minimized. The PROPOSE
tions now being discussed as the basis
of the proposed treaty are not to be I'M
derestimated in their influence upon
Japanese pride. But the present eff
forts of the War and Navy departments
to secure appropriations for larger and
better equipped establishments are
not to be lost sight Of Secretary Taft

Carrie Nation wanted to get in to ask

her.
Carrie Nation is the great American
meddler. What she can't stick her
nose into does not exist. Her special
ty is breaking and breaking into
things. It's pity someone can't have
the privilege of breaking into her brain
box to see what is really going on in
there. If they could have some NOV

The Limit OF Life.

the generally accepted limitation of

knowledge. of which the race is now

determines its duration, seems to be
between so and 60: the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot be

wants larger army, especially a
stronger artillery division, and stronger
defenses not only at home but on our
insular possessions. Secretary Metcalf
demands larger battleships and more
of them, and more men, in order that
the nation may have more powerful
naval equipment. The Army and Navy
appropriation bills are now being
considered by Congress, and Senators
and Representative favorable to these
measures, are making use of every
argument they possibly can. They are
making the most of this japanese stu
alton.
Of course, there are some things in
the relations between Japan and the
United States that are not wholly
satisfactory. The large Japanese i'm
migration to Hawaii is open to sus-
picion, as well as the large influx of
Japanese collie labor to the Pacific
coast. Still all this may be as natural
as the outpouring of Chinese coolie
labor; and perhaps more so, owing to
Japan's limited territory and its rapid
ly increasing population. If this should
prove to be the case, these matters can
be easily taken care of. At any rate,
they are not sufficient to warrant all
that is being said and written concern
ing Japanese schemes to forestall
American legislation and diplomatic
agreements.
