only As years old. He was telegraph
operator of a wayside station when an
eastern watch manufacturer sent him
a watch with the privilege of returning
it if he could not sell it. He found
that he could sell that watch and
many more. So large did the watch
trade he established become that he
resigned his position and went to Min
neapolis.
Two years later he came to Chicago
and began the business career that
ended recently with the sale Of his
stock in Sears, Roebuck & Co. to a

Mr.. Sears family is enjoying the
farm life as much as the head of the

RATE CASE HEARING
HARTMAN ROADS REST THEIR
CASE AFTER PRESENTING
MASS OF STATISTICS.
Other Roads Will be Heard by In

at Salt Lake, and Hearing viii
Soon Be at an End.

Salt Lake City.-The hearing of
the Salt Lake rate cases was con-
tinued Monday morning before the
Interstate Commerce Commission, sit
ting in the United States court rooms
The Hartman lines closed their
case before the commission when the
representatives of the Hartman in
terests presented a mass of tabulat-
ed statistics, showing how the freight
business of the west has grown in
the last ten years and apparently
making pay for public favor with
statements showing how much the
street railway company of Salt Lake
has paid for supplies.
1t was claimed that the tabulated
evidence presented by the Hartman
lines, cost 100000 in clerk hire, and
one of the men representing the peo-
pie of Utah at the hearing remarked
that the railroads would get it back
in less time than 1t took to prepare
the statement.
Probably the most important point
brought out in behalf of the Utah
shippers was the admission from the
railroads that the tranScontinenta
rates were remunerative, inasmucF
as they paid profit over cost of ser
vice and applied something to flxe6
charges.
