He Has $25, 100000.

A Chicago report is that r. w. Sears,
seventeen years ago telegraph opera
tor at a wayside station, conceived the
notion of selling $40 watches for Sill
80 by mail Now he has retired from
active business at the age of forty-five,
worth $25, OO0, 900
His practical interest in the business
he founded-Sears, Roebuck & Co.
ceased with the sale of the last half
of his stock holdings to a New York
syndicate. His resignation as chairman
of the board is expected at the direc-
tors next meeting
AS operator he got $50 a month.
Since he blazed trail in the mail or
der business his savings have averaged
a million and half year.
Sears has announced that he intends
to devote himself to his family and to
his model farm at Gray's Lake, III.

" sounded that first note Of what may
develop into a battle throughout the
session.
Diversion of the Rio Grande waters
was the subject of a bitter controversy
between New Mexico, Texas and Colo
RADIO. New Mexico and Texas claim
prior rights are destroyed by late ap-
preparations in Colorado. A treaty
was ratified several years ago with
Mexico, conceding rights to certain
waters in the stream for irrigation and
apropriating a million dollars for the
Eagle DAM Ell Pasoans declare the
Colorado diversion, if permitted, will
abrogate the treaty and stop construc.

Unprecedented activity is being
shown by the representatives over wa
ter power corporations. California
delegates side-tracked Ex-Governor
Pardee, placing Frank Short, attorney
of the Huntington Power and Light
company. on the resolutions commit
tee.
Apparently the issue is to be drawn
between big interests monopolizing
national resources and conservation
lists. The general opinion is that a Sc
rious clash will occur between Secre-
tafy of the Interior Ballinger and
Clifford Pinchot on the conservation
policy of the administration.

In Washington President Taft issue
this statement:
Il have signed the P1Ane tariff

result of sincere effort on the part
of the Republican party to make
downward revision, and TO comply
with the promises of the platform
as they have been generally under
stood, and as | interpreted them In
the campaign before election.
This is not a perfect bill. or

but fulfillment free from criti-
cism in respect to subject matter
involving many schedules and
thousands of articles could not be
expected. 1t suffices TO say that
except, with regard to Injuries,
there have been very few in
creases in rates.
THE corporation tax is a just
and equitable excise measure,
which it is hoped will produce
sufficient amount to prevent de-
Hcit and which incidentally will
secure valuable statistics and In
formation concerning the many
corporations of the country"
Taft spoke favorably of the custom
court and the other administrative
features of the bill.
