The most potent factor in the stlmu-
lation OF real estate and building In
dustry just now is the purpose Of the
Bamberger and Orcm interests to build
a union electric railway station in the
vicinity of West Temple and First
West. on PlerPont street. These in
terests have purchased 1927 $50 worth
Of realty in that region, and have op-
tions on $4,000 more, and their in
tention is to acquire other holdings
in the near future. AS these proper
ties arc turned over to the Salt Lake
& Ogden and Salt Lake G. Utah rail
roads, the present owners and occu-
pants will seek other quarters, and
new business blocks, manufacturing
plants, ETC., Will be built It is also
expected that the building Of that sta.
tion will result in the opening Of new
stores in that vicinity, and that other
activities will follow.

The statement that the Democrats IL
the Utah Legislature which meets to-
morrow have a definite and positive
programme Of Legislation which they
will propose and urge, is a welcome
change from precedent; for il has not
been usual in Utah legislatures for the
members TO have much TO 90 with plans
of legislation; they waited on the bosses
TO bring forward the "ofiicial legisla-
ton" which, as was openly said at the
session of 1911, would be "known by
It's ear-marks."

THE TARIFF HEARINGS.

Mr., George w. Ritter was given op
Committee on Ways and Means, the ease
of the Utah lead miners, in protest
against reducing the tariff on lead aud
zinc. His presentation was along the
same lines as his report TO the CONNER
cial Club meeting in this city; aud
needless to say. it is strong presenta'
tion on general lines. The committee
evidently desired more specific informa-
tion on this matter, and it will be the
duty OF the Utah lead ore producers to
furnish whatever is desired on this
point. There has never boon any fail
urc heretofore to present fairly the
ease of the lead producers, and the
Utah argument will be reinforced by
arguments from Idaho, from Colorado,
from Missouri, and from other States.
The committee evidently considered
that there was need for getting down
more definitely to detail, since il not
only called for specific information, but
determined TO swear the witnesses, so
that there would be the obligation Of
an oath connected with what was re-
lated, This will be no hardship upon
the Utah lead producers, because their
case is perfect, and the interests in
volved would undoubtedly be threat
ened in case Of serious cut in the tar
LIE on lead.
AS Mr.. Ritter pointed out, it is Mex
leo that is to be feared in this matter,
for Mexico produces lead at remark
ably low cost, the wages paid to the
more than one-third to one-half that
paid the American miners, while that
labor is surprisingly efficient for the
cost of it.
There is evidently a prediction in
the mind of Representative Underwood
Of Alabama, who is chairman of the
committee, in favor of material cut
in the tariff on lead and zinc; but the
presentation of definite facts will no
doubt bring him, as reasonable man,
to change his mind on that question, for
a general impression should always give
way to specific information and the
logic Of undoubted facts.
In the meantime. there is no doubt
but that there is strong protectionist
sentiment in the South which is making
itself felt. We have mentioned some
points in that direction heretofore,
and present herewith statement which
we find in q New York financial paper
as to the general position of Southern
Democrats and specifically as to the po-
sition Of Florida Democrats, viz:
The temperance OF the Florida grow
ers of various products with demand
for protective tariff duties to be granted
by their Southern Democratic colleagues
recalls the similar requests made by
these same men at the time the Payne
tariff was under consideration.
Some of them went so far as to pledge
a Republican majority In their State II
they could have the rates they wanted
on fruits and long staple cotton. The
Republican members OF the Ways and
Means Committee were not quite so
commercial in their politics as TO take
that offer UP. especially as those who
made the proposal could not guarantee
a fulnllment OF the bargain.

Mining operations the past week
have been seriously interfered with
by the cold weather. Many mines
have had their source of water fro
zen; some Of the mills have been
forced to close down for few days
while the freezing Of ore in railroad
cars has embarrassed the smelters and
all others who must handle the same.
The rise in temperature has been very
welcome to the Utah mining industry
and conditions are rapidly getting back
to normal.
A feature Of the week in mining
was the number of deals reported from
the Rochester camp of Nevada, where
q number of Utah capitalists have
become interested. There has been a
disposition to unduly boom Rochester,
but the facts appear to be that there
is splendid showing of gold ore there,
and that the district must rely upon
the development Of milling ore ton
nages. and not upon high-grade-
The stock markets have been very
unsatisfactory since the turn Of the
year. Copper issues, which were
looked to as likely leaders, have
weakened materially since the Ameri-
can Copper Producers Association
showed a gain to the domestic visible
stocks Of the metal during December
Of nearly 10000 900 pounds, Fear has
been expressed that such increase may
occasion recession in the price Of
copper, while frequent rumors that
the government is to investigate the
so-called copper pool have been pro-
ductive Of an uneasy sentiment, Tho
principal rails and industrial issues
still hold weak ranges as a result Of
tariff revision, and all authorities worth
noticing advise q very conservative
market stand until conditions clear
up.
Locally the mining share market
is very weak and uninteresting. The
public is completely out Of the market
most of the time, and while there are
undoubted bargains on the local board
il Will tako time to convince the in
vestor.

Beat Experts at Finance.
Mr.. Morgan was born at Hartford,

schooling opportunities were the best.
He graduated from the Boston high
school and was student in the Uni
versity of Gottingen, Germany. His
father was financier of prominence
and it was not difficult for young Nor
gan to get a start in the business
world His first experience was in the
London house of Morgan & Peabody.
Going to New York at the age of
%, he fought both Gould and FISK Tor
the possession of the Albany & Sus-
quehanna railroad and beat those old
Napoleons of finance at their own
game. In 1871 he became member
of the banking firm of Drexel, Morgan
& Co., which later bee anne j. +. Nor
gan & Co., the largest private finan
cial institution in the world.

house reads almost like fairy tale, SO

Queer Ironing.

I writer in the Wide World maya.
zine says that the most curious sight
he saw at Cairo was men ironing
clothes with their feet! The men
were employed in the native tailoring
esta blishments.
Except for the long handle, the
irons were shaped like the ordinary
flatiron, only larger. A solid block
of wood rested on the top of the iron,
and on this the men placed one foot
guiding the iron in the desired direc-
ton by means of the handle. For the
sake of convenience, ironing boards
were raised only a few inches from
the ground, and, however strange the
method may seem to us, the work
was done very we'll and very expedi-
tiously.

more than to have it mentioned to him.
He was devout Christian and vestry-
where he could be seen every Sunday
morning when at home, passing the
silver salver for the collection.
He took an active interest in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, and pos.
sessed one of the most magnificent
private galleries in the world. A deep
student of medieval history, he col
lected many relics of the past, includ-
ing a Bible for which he paid many
thousand dollars, while at one time
he bought cope which was stolen
from Italy and when the news of the
theft leaked out showed his magi
nanmity by returning it to the origi
nal owners free of cost.
Fortune Estimated at 100000, oCo.
During all his years Mr. Morgan en-.
joyed life to the utmost. He was
fond of dogs, and his kennels at Crags-
ton were the wonder of breeders the
world over. He rode and shot and
angled enthusiastically and was fond
of yachting. His yacht Corsair was
one of his favorite societies and clubs
in the United States and Europe.
1t is impossible to estimate with
any degree of accuracy the size of the
Morgan fortune. 1t has been various
Nv estimated in recent years at from
SIS, 100000 to $200,000,000. If it is
anywhere near the latter figure, it is
equally true that he made as much
for others.
In 1861 Mr.. Morgan married Miss
Amelia Sturges. who died the follow
ing year. In 1865 he married Frances
Louise Tracy, by whom he had one
son and three daughters. The son

middle life, and for number Of years

was Mr.. Morgan who saved the situa-
ton.
Aside from these two incidents Mr.
Morgan probably will be chiefly re-
membered for the part he took in float
ing the United States Steel corpora
ton. The violent decline in the Sc
curities of the steel trust during the
depression of 10000, and the storm
of criticism that broke forth from the
thousands of investors in the United
States and in Europe who put their
money into these securities, had been
a thorn in Mr.. Morgan's side, and his
chief ambition in the years that fol
lowed was to see the Steel securities
in such position in the market that his
most bitter critics would be forced to
concede that he built the great trust
on substantial foundation.
Some Of His Accomplishments.

operators in the United States Or
abroad.
