Greatest Railroad Builder Still in the

st. Paul, Minn.-The Empire Build
er" of the northwest was 70 years old

This year he bought the First Ma
tional bank of st. Paul and increased
its capital from 81 900, 900 to $4,000
and its surplus from S1,000,000 to
100000. He bought the Second Ma
uonal bank with deposits of S4,000,000

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Business,
though irregular, tends to broaden.
but there is degree of conservatism,
more in evidence In the drouth af
fiicted parts of the southwest than
elsewhere. That restricting infiu-
ences intermingle with favorable fac
tors can not be denied, but In gen.
eral sense affairs are more optimistic
than otherwise.
The weeks developments have been
quickened by fall festivals, by the
ending of the vacation season, by i'm
proved sales of commercial paper and
by the actual necessity of covering re-
Quirements.
In the west trade is normal or bet
ter and demand, though displaying
conservatism, is predicted on the
knowledge that supplies are light and
In consequence the turnover has en-
larged.
Business failures for the week were
179, which compares wieh 191 In 1912.
Dun's review says: Early promise
of another year of remarkable crops
will not be fully realized, yet the pur
chasing power of the agricultural com
munity is sustained by high prices fol-
the leading farm products. Official
confirmation of considerable deterior
alton in cotton caused a sharp rise In
that staple and corn advanced on 9
continuance of hot, dry weather. The
reduced harvests are calculated to ul
timately have some effect upon the
freight traffic, but it is gratifying tina
sentiment remains cheerful in spite o.
the less favorable outlook in certain
directions. While the delay in tn,
adoption Of the pending tariff bill act
as a check, business nevertheless hal
emerged from its customary summer
lethargy and with the approach of thu
fall season the revival of activity Il
becoming more pronounced. Failures
this week numbered 205 In the Unites
States against 240 last year. and II
in Canada, compared with 21 a yea
ago.

LUMBER AND WOODWORKING.

The Panhandle Lumber Co. of Spirit
Lake, Idaho, at a stockholders meet
ing held recently, voted to increase
capital stock from 100000 to $4,-
100000. 1t is believed both the Spirit
Lake and lone mills will reopen Oc-
tober l.
Aberdeen Herald reports that heavy
orders are being placed for the off
shore trade in the lumber market.
and that mills are turning down bust
ness which would tend to keep their
plants tied up for any considerable
period. The conditions are taken to
indicate that buyers believe that the
market has touched bottom and that
the present is favorable one to take
on stock.
A substantial increase in sales oil

Lack Evidence 81 Lie.

vantage in other lines of astronomical
investigation, As yet we have no evil
dence that people do exist on Mars
Lack Evidence of Life.
In line with this theory, Professor
Edward Pickering says:
NO astronomer in good standing
to-day believes that we have enough
evidence to warrant the theory of life
on Mars.
THE Harvard Observatory makes
no observations of Mars. At the In
ternational Conference OF the Solar
Union at Bonn, last summer where a
large body of the greatest astrono-
mers gathered, no paper was read
upon the subject of Mars; its surface
was not officially mentioned at any of
the meetings and the theory of life
on the planet, if referred to at all,
was spoken of only in joking way,
Professor Lowell has obtained ex-
Cellent data at Flagstaff, but the facts
that he has learned there do not war
rant him in the theories which he ad-
vocates. His judgment is in error. He
uses his Imagination too freely in his
deductions
Errors Are Easy.
AT the Mount Wilson Observatory,
Pasadena, Cal, the workers have not
discovered the canals which Professor
Lowell asCribes to the surface of Mars
and at Mount Wilson the work is car
ried on with 60-inch telescope aper-
ture under the most favorable condi-
tons, while the telescope at Flagstaff
has only a 24-inch aperture.
1T must be borne in mind that it is
very easy for one looking through a
telescope at Mars to mistake a series
Of light points for surface markings.
AS to the idea of signaling Mars,
as one astronomer says: There may
be a field of cabbage on Mars, but
what good would it do to signal a
field of CabbageH"
Professor Lowelrs idea concerning
the data made relative to life on Mars
Is exactly al variance with the idea
of Professor Pickering.
Grounds of Proof.
He says the proof of the habitation
Of Mars has two parts:
l. The trustworthiness of the OBJ
servations, and,
2. The Flagstaff theory that ex-
plains them
$50 unanswerable has proved the
latter" he. says, that those who
would disbelieve it have been forced
to deny the geometric character Of
the observations. Now these have

planet from SchiaparelH, the first
astronomer of his day, down to the
most recent ones by NJ. larry Des-
logeS.
THE critics have been star workers
and sun workers, but not planetary
workers, and to ask their opinion on
such subject would be like asking
a surgeon about baCteriolOgy.
THE arguments as to the habitation
Of the planet are given in my book
and can be judged by anybody who
reads them.
"As to my using my imagination
in reaching my conclusions, | have
been extremely careful to do nothing
of the sort.
"a European astronomer, larry
Desloges, who has built observatories
in many places and at great expense
to obtain the very best working con.
