In spite of the fact that ull lead producing mines of thi country, and of the whole world for that matter, have of lute years been operated at maximum capacity, and in spite of a frenzied hunt for other sources of supply, evidence seems to be accumu-lating to prove that the expected shortage may be upon us even quick-er than some of us thought possible. Referring to the invaluable statis-tics of American Bureau of Statis-tics, we notice that during; the first seven month of this year estimated receipts of lead in ore by United States and Mexican smelters reached a total of 384,417 tons, or an average of 64,916 tons per month. . If the same ratio is maintained during the last five months of the year, total production from these sources will ap proximate 658,992 tons. From the same authority it is learned that receipts by these smelt-ers during 1925 reached 680,602 tons, or, an .average of 56,716 tons per month. Thus, indications point to a reduced tonnage this year of 21,610 tons. Stocks in lead, in all stages of re-duction, in the hands of these smelt-ers on August 1 reached 118,697 tons, of which but 18,920 tons was in re-fined form. In other words, stocks of refined lead available at that time were less than three per cent of the total production of 1925. In our opinion thse figures justify the prophecy we have" often made that the threatened shortage of lead is eminent and likely to become very stringent within the next few years. There seems to be no possibility of serious price declines under these con. ditions and producers of this contin-ent are undoubtedly in for a long and very profitable era of operation. We should not be surprised to see 'a ten-ce- nt market develop before the end of this year, and if it comes we also exr pect to see the new levels maintained indefinitely. r A BOUT 70 Dresses 01 Sal Today and Monday (If any on hand Monday) H at $9.95 Being the number is limited we urge you to be on hand early.

Reed Smoot and appropriation measures, measur-ably lowering prices and living costs. When the Republicans were restored to power in all branches of govern-ment with the election of President Harding, Senator Smoot became chair-man of the Joint Congressional com-mitt-on printing and also of the joint committee on Reorganization of the Administrative Branches of the Federal Government, and because of his comprehensive knowledge of all matters relating to the revenues and the tariff, the burden of framing and passing and defending the first emergency tariff bill after the war fell largely upon his shoulders, and when President Wilson vetoed the bill he sponsored the second emergency tariff bill which became a law soon after President Harding's inaugura-tion. During the debate on the sugar schedules of the 1922 .tariff bill. Sena-tor Smoot spoke for two hours and although continually interrupted by members of the opposition, none was able to cope with him and his formid-able array of facts and figures. His courage of conviction has never been questioned, and his speeches hr de-fence of Republican principles have always been fearlessly logical and en-lightening. REED SMOOT. born at Salt Lake City, Utah, January 10, 1862. Edu-cated in elementary schools of Provo, also at Brigham Young university and the University of Utah. Following graduation from Brigham Young y, Senator Smoot entered the mercantile and other business enter-prises. On April 6, 19.00, was called by the Church of Jesus Christ of Let-Ur-d- Saints to the Quorum of the twelve Apostles; was elected to United States senate to succeed Joseph L Rawlins and took his seat on March 6, 1908: was by unanimous Republican vote of Utah state legis-lature for second term of six years beginning March 4, 1909; lor third term by direct vote of peo-ple beginning March 4, 1915; for fourth term beginning March 4, 1921. Although his seat in the United States senate was contested for sev-eral years and his right thereto sub-jected to long senatorial investiga-tion, Senator Smoot at once became leading member of that strong co-terie of Republican statesmen which included Aldrich, Allison, Beveridge, Depew, Dolliver, Fairbanks, Frye, Bale, Hawley, Lodge, McCumber, Gal-ling- Nelson, Penrose, Piatt, of Conn., Quay, Spooner, Teller and Wa-rns. In December, laa, ssenawr oraoo became chairman of the powerful senate committee on Finance, the first time that a man from the Rocky Mountain West was ever so honored. His first great work as chairman of this important committee was to se-cure the passage of the 1924 tax re-duction bill. During the past four years, as a member of President Coolidge's International Debt Fund-ing commission, he has successfully guided through the senate the highly important measure funding the enor-mous obligations due and owing to this country by America's war-tim- e allies. Senator Smoot has constantly been called upon to give his attention to national and international affairs, but has never lost sight of the needs and requirements of Utah and her people. Among his notable accomplishments in behalf of Utah, a few of the most important showing his diligence rel-ative to matters either of general or special interest to this state, are the following: The Strawberry Valley Irrigation project, which still furnishes most of the water to Utah county. The Federal Reserve bank in Salt Lake Citv, almost completed, at a cost of $320,000. - The munitions buildings, south of Ogden, at a cost of $2,000,000. The Forest Service headquarters, t Ogden. The great Echo reclamation project fjust starting in Utah which eost the United States government $1,225,000 tr begin, and will still require $4,000,-00- 0 to complete. - Numerous appropriations for fed-eral buildings for post offices through-out the state of Utah. The law creating Zion National park. Laws for the conservation of Utah and other Western forest landa. The Smoot Dtv Farm law. The law making Bryce canyon national park. The oil leasing law of February 6, 1820. The law to grant additional pensions to Civil and Spanish-America- n war veterans. . Laws pensioning veterans of Indian wars. Besides these actual accomplish-ments. Senator Smoot baa also intro-duced bills to establish a military avia-tion academy in Utah; to provide for the acquirement of rural homes in the public land suites; to stabilise the livestock industry; for the leasing of irrigable Indian lands; to establish a game sanctuary in the Wasatch forest; to quiet title to the school lands; as well as a great number of bills for the purchase of sites and erection of public buildings in the various cities of the state, many of which aro now receiving the earnest consideration s congress. Senator Smoot soon became chair-- nan of the committee on Standards, Weights and Measures. He was also put on the following important s: Claims, Civil Service. Pat-snt-a, Pensions, Railroads and Indian Depredations. In 1906 he was made a member of the important committee on Public Lands. His industry and constant activity was always apparent ' and as early as 1905 and 1906 he was Instrumental in extending the time for homestead settlers in Utah and took a leading part in other public affairs especially with respect to mat-ters touching lands in Utah and other Western states. During the 61st congress (1909), less than six years after hecoming a member of the senate, Utah's dis-tinguished senator was assigned to the powerful committee on Finance. It was during this year that the Payne-Aldric- h tariff bill was uppermost in ' the minds of senators and representa-tives. Senator Smoot debated the issues raised so ably and with such a complete fund of information that he amazed even his veteran colleagues. His knowledge of economics was so thorough that he won the admiration of friend and foe alike. These de-bates brought Senator Smoot defi-nitely to the front rank of the senate. In the succeeding sessions of c arese the Utah senator has repeatedly made valuable contributions to the statesmanship of the country, espec-ially by way of speeches on therc posed Court of Commerce, the Postal' Savings banks, the Canadian Reciproc-ity bill, the creation of an independent tariff board. And when in 1910 the question of--the prices of foreign prod-ucts was before congress, he was the first to proclaim, that The real value of any artkhja its exchange value," a doctrine which has ever been one of the cardinal principles at the Re-- I pnbHcan party. " Utah's senior senator has consist-ently championed the Republican doctrine of protection. When the Un-derwood tariff bill cam before the senate in 1918, Senator Smoot came gain to the fore as the natural spokesman of the Republican minor-ity and succeeded in exposing the fal-lacies of that measure. After the United 8tates declared war against Germany, Senator Smotit Steadfastly supported the ad irlrJstra-tion of President Woodrow Wilson. He assisted in passing the war revenue measure of 1917, and other legisla-tion designed to win the war. Following the war, the Utah senator voted for the Covenant of the League of Nations with the Lodge reserva-tions, but voted against it when those reservations were defeated in the senate. He has been largely responsi-ble for the creation of the Budget bureau and the passage of revenue SIMON BAMBERGER It is unnecessary for the News to chronicle the particulars of the life and death of Simon Bamberger. With the daily papers, the radio and other modern means of disseminating news these facts were flashed to even the most remote localities of the state within a very short time after the end came at 4:25 Wednesday after-noon. However, this pnper cannot pass on without a word of tribute and an expression of profound respect for "Uncle" Simon. To know him vvrn to love him and his death came as a distinct loss to the state of Utah, which h dearly loved.
