Could We Live on Mars2

The physical conditions on Mars are
in many ways intermediate between
those found upon the earth and the
moon. and it seems plau"ible that the
life existing upon it should similarly
be of higher type than that found on
the moon and of lower type than
that found at present on the surface of
the earth. Even if the physical condi-
tons. as we understand them, were
equally favorable with those on the
earth, civilization would by no means
be necessary consequence. Had it
not been settled by Europeans the
United States would still be wilder
ness How much less should we hasten
to accord civilization to planet of
which we know little. except that il
we were transported there ourselves
we should instantly die. professor w.

THE "TUPPENcE" HABIT.
It Has a Firm Grip on London and
Its Inhabitants.

Tuppcncc- meaning. of course, two
pence and equal to the sum of / cents
in United States currency the dom
mating sum in London. 1t is as much
an institution as the war debt, beer or
the game of cricket. Wherever YOU
go, whatever you do, whatever yOuV
sell or whenever you open your mouth
1t is tuppcncc or Il series of that sum
that is extracted from you. 1t more
than takes the place of the tive cent
piece in America or the threePenny
bit in the British possessions.
Tuppcncc is as much as a fairly well
to do worker can allorl for his meal
at midday. In the poorer restaurants
that sum gets him two slices and
big mug. or three slices and little
mug, or a portion of cake and Il drink,
or Il fried egg, slice and small mug, or
Il sausage with mash or bread. or Il
raSher of bacon. In the next higher
class everything drinkabe is twopencr
per cup, while pastry. pies, etc, are

insects NJ. Plateau, the Belgian Zoolo-

Palmer Mills Resume.

The mill of the George Palmer
Lumber company resumed operations
this morning after being shut dowr
about three weeks covering the holi.
day season. The mill stopped run.
ming just before Christmas on ac-
count OF the holidays and also by
reason of the fact that the log sup
ply had run low. The establishment
is now in operation in full force with
all old hands back at work.
The company now has on hand APP
proximately 5,O0O,OOO feet of lumber,
and since the mill started but a very
small quantity OF lumber-four cars
in all-has been shipped. Market
and freight conditions, however, have
not been the cause of this light ship
ment. The cause is assignable to
the fact that all the lumber will re-
quire seasoning before It can be han,
died advantageously by rail shipment.
On this account the accumulation Of
lumber will be much larger than at
present before the out-shipments
Will become an extensive item.-La
Grande Star.

LewIston May Lose TraIn.

A rumor is persistent that the
Northern Pacific will still further
curtail the passenger service on the
Palouse branch by stopping one OF
the passenger trains at Moscow, thus
making the time card show one train
a day each way between Spokane and
Lewiston and two a day each way
between Spokane and Moscow, says
Lewiston dispatch.
Several weeks ago the Moscow ac-
commodation train was discontinued
and the schedule on the Palouse
branch rearranged, but the road still
offered double daily service between
Spokane and Lewiston. 1t is said
travel has been so light that one of
the trains will be discontinued and
Moscow local put in service between
Spokane and Moscow
Those in authority around North
ern Pacific headquarters dlsclaim
any knowledge of the matter but
there is no doubt that the question
has been discussed The travelling
public is sure to object.
