 According to MT. Cobbs state ment today, the amount of the tax due for 1913 and 1914 is to be reached upon a basis of com promise as to the grades of the fish. The act of 1913 does not specify directly the grades known to the packing business. and some
 grades of fish are not specifically taxed at all under that law. "As basis of calculating the amount of taxes due it Is agreed that we will be guided as to the amount by the amount of taxes that would be due under the act of 1915" said

Groceries By Mail

The Seattle house of Sears, Roe buck * Co. is just about ready to enter the grocery trade. A hint of this has been current for some weeks. but not until recently has there been anything to warrant or confirm the rumor. But now, from Q source which Trade Register secs uO reason to question, comes the news that the big mau-order house will be selling groceries within the uext four months.
 From an equally reliable source Trade Register is informed that the grocery sales of the Chicago house of Sears, Roebuck * Co. for the first six months of this year wer, $L0g0,900. The margin of profit was one and three-teaths per cent.
 Had the floor space been avail able. Sears, Roe5uck & Co. would by this time be leading retailers 8 merry chase. Now, with their new est building completed, the company is well equipped for the business it intends to so after.
 Retail trade is due for 8 hard blow, but it is utterly foolish to sit back and rave, and equally use less tc lie down and quit. The only thing to do is to stand up and fight, bearing iu mind that abusive mud-sItnging and legitimate fighting are entirely different.
 Retail customers will have to be "sbcwn." They must be convinced of the quality Ln standard brands. Oi the value oE service and the convenience ot buying at home. Aer- chants must smile while fighting; they must develop logical selling ar guments and take advantage of per sonaI acquaintance and a knowl- edge oI local conditions. Finally, the retail trade has a flying start Of three or four months, which is a great deal iu a long campaign.

by the circuit court of appeals will settle the question of whether or not license taxes shall be paid as provided in the Act passed by the last legislature. Owing to the many controversies which have arisen since the passage of the law the packers decided at Q meeting held in Portland the early part of Sep tember, that they would endeavor to reach an agreement with the territorial attorney whereby the question might be amicably settled without each individual company be- jug obliged to fOrce the issue for itself.
 As a main basis for their refusal to pay tho license tax assessed up- on the years pack, several of the fish companies have alleged, among other things, that the territorial leg stature lad no power to levy the tax upon the years pack when there is already a federal tax, such Ie e.tslatiou being in violation of the stipulatiOus of the Organic Act.
 Through tho decision of the test suit socn to be brought before the circuit court the matter will be settled. Each company concerned, with the exception of the defend

IMPORTER IS
CAUGHT WITH BIG
LOT IN AUTO
Percy Rodgers, Of Tucson, Arrested
by Sheriff at Silver Creek; Had
WhisIey from FL Paso in Car.

BIEBEE, March 1s-The biggest
seizure of contraband whisky, as far
as quantity is concerned, that has
been made in Cochise county since
the new prohibition law went into eff
feet, occurred yesterday morning
when Percy Rodgers, of Tucson was
arrested at Silver Creek with 60 gal
Ions in his possession. He had the
booze in an automobile and was tax
ing it from FL Paso to Tucson.
The arrest was made by Sheriff
Wheeler, Deputy Sheriff Cross and.
Constable Hayhurst. Rodgers was
brought to Douglas and hailed before
Justice of the Peace R. s. Maclay
He waived his preliminary hearing
and was at once bound over to the
action of the superior court in the
sum of $1,000 Unable to make the
bond he was taken by Wheeler and
Hayhurst to be placed in the county
jail. The charge against him is in

Douglas officers, both city and coun
ty, have been on the lookout for Rod

was importing whisky from Ell Paso
to Tucson. He managed to evade
them the last time, but this morning
they took no chances and were lying
in wait for him when he reached Sill

THE WARS OPPORTUNITIES To MAKE
j. S. INTERNATIONALLY INDEPENDENT

''As an encouraging instance if min
eralogical independence, you may re-
call that only about ten years ago
this country imported its sulphur from
Sicily, whereas now, by reason of the
work of one engineer, the United
States leads the world in the mining
of sulphur. Can not further success
be expected in the utilization of min
eral resources hitherto practically un-
touched?
The substitution of certain miner
ais of domestic origin for those bought
in foreign markets will bring us face
to face with the problem of standard
dzation. Price is not the last word
with the ufacturer-consumer This
is a good time to drop any IDEAS we
may have of industrial superiority and
to copy for while the Industrial
spirit of Germany, which systematic
ed processes and standardized pro-
ducts until they won markets in
every continent by sheer superiority
THE outlook for successful indeav-
or by the American engineer seems
very bright"

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The following notice was recently
handed to the high school teachers
by the Principal:
What We Are For.
Discussion at Faculty Meeting:
March Is, 1915.
Each member of the faculty will
prepare a paper on the topic What
Are We For This paper will be
discussed in faculty meeting and a
digest arranged from the papers and
discussions.
Every teacher should have heart
to heart talk with himself and de-
termine, if never before, the cause
,of our being public high school
A. A. CLEMENT, Principal
The resulting papers were read and
discussed by the faculty. We think
that the patrons of the high school
would desire to know the aims and
purposes of those instructors who
are to determine, to very great ex-
tent, the lives of their children. To
this end we have decided to publish
these papers weekly for the remainder
of the year.
What We Are For.
We are here to provide additional
opportunities for boys and girls to
obtain the maximum training for their
capacities and by SO doing prove that
the highs chool is an asset, to the
community.
The patrons have erected a build
ing equipped with necessary and
modern apparatus. This building is
open to the public for community
meetings and social affairs that will
lead to higher cultural attachments.
The faculty is a body of specialists
employed to furnish better oppor-
tdnities for better instruction; to
give aid and advice to all, rich and
poor alike; and to see that students
under their instruction are made
larger in heart and mind.
( We have chosen subjects for our
courses that make for efficiency and
right living. The academic subjects
prepare for college those students
who wish to continue school. The
vocational studies of manual training,
home economics, and commercial
work, give special training according
to the need of the individual and his
purpose in life. "a
We are here to send out students
who can prove to the patrons that it
has been worth their time and the
money invested; and to SO work for
this district that at the close of our
term we may feel that we have made
it better place in which to live.
