King, Democrat, formally launched his campaign for election to the United States Senate this week, with a pledge to bring to Utah "positive, statesman-like, and forward-lookin- g represen-tation." "This is an era of progress and prosperity. It is also an era fraught with problems and perils which threaten our very existence," Con-gressman King declared. "Utah de-serves the dynamic and imagina-tive representation in the Senate which is necessary to meet the challenge of the times." "I seek election to the U. S. Sen-ate not for any reasons of personal gain. 1 am impelled by the convic-tion that the times require men vide it; men who can inspire con-wh- o can unite the nation, not not despair; men who can show us that America is succeed-ing, and not failing," Congressman King declared. He voiced particular concern over the special problems of small business. The son of Utah's late Senator William H. King said his business and professional ex-perience and his two terms in the House of Repreentatives would be invaluable to him as senator "to better serve Utah on many fronts." s j Down Memory Lane 1 , BY JOHN J. CREEDON' HORSE AND BUGGY DAYS 1 With the peculiar layout of Bing-- ham Canyon and its many neighbor- - ing communities, it was natural that the transportation of people and i goods would be a major business. In the early days when Bingham was young, few of the residents had their own means of transportation, so the livery and taxi service be- - 1 came a necessity and blossomed into j one of the most thriving businestes. The people of the Bingham dis-trict was spread out from Lead Mine to Bingham and then on to I Upper Bingham or Copperfield, I Telegraph and upper U. S. Mine in the one canyon and to Highland i Boy and the Boston Con on the Carr Fork side. One of the most familiar livery services in my boyhood was the one j operated by George Black, who I operated Black's Cannonball Ex- - press. He was a colorful character A and talked to his horses continually i while driving. His favorite horse I was Bessie and old timers can recall his favorite saying when talking to J Bessie. j The Canyon was dotted by livery stables that furnished rigs and sad- - At knrui fnr equally well, Henry Berlin, Rex Holden and Joe Carlston come to mind. Then there was Peggy Mc-Ce- e and Peg Leg Pratt, both nick-named because of having a leg missing. These men got around fine and made their living by their skill, despite their handicap. Of all these men, 1 believe the standouts were Dave Wherritt and Joe Hamilton. Dave's span of years extended from the "Nineties" to the time of his death a few years ago. Dave was intrusted with many spe-cial jobs jobs that required his special skill and knowledge of horses and roads. Dave was sort of a landmark for so many years that it seemed he was here always. He was a hard worker and as honest as they come. . Joe Hamilton was a marvel hand-ling teams and unloading heavy goods. Joe had only one hand and it was amazing to see him handle several spans of horses. He would wrap the reins around his stump and make his way up and down the narrow canyon. To remember him unloading heavy beer kegs with his one hand, stands out clear as if it were yesterday.. It was a long ride from the D fie RG depot to Upper Bingham or Highland Boy in a rig over bumpy rutted roads in bad weather, but that was the way it was done some fifty years ago. School children were transported from Upper Bingham and Highland Boy in open sleds in the winter time. Tnere would be two long benches facing each other and the bottom of the sled would be cover-ed with straw and heavy robes would be used to cover the knees of the students to keep them warm. Much of the ore shipped out of the Canyon was hauled by horse drawn wagons or sleds, depending on the time of year. It required great skill to guide these heavy ve-hicles along the narrow streets. Rough locks were used to aug-ment the braking of these heavy wagons. This consisted of a large chain wrapped around one of the rear wheels or runners to slow the pace of the heavily loaded wagons. Runaways were unf requent, but when there was a runaway, it cre-ated great excitement and heavy damage, often killing or injuring the horses so badly they had to be destroyed. those living in the outlying com munities. Bing-ham Coal Co., operated by Geo-rge Chandler, was the largest one. Star Livery near No. 2 Fire Hall and Harry Hteele's near Mr. Creedon Butcher Hill were ' among the others Besides the stables that rented rigs and horses, there were many smaller stables that housed horses and wagons for the various busf-'-, ness establishments. The teamsters, or "skinners" as (hey were celled were a colorful i outfit. Many of them were hard e drinkers and all of them were hard f workers and possessed a skill that is ell but forgotten today. i Some of these men I recall were ' " Smiler Shelley, who hid his face in a heavy black beard. We used to i needle him, by yelling, "Come on out from behind that bush, Smiler, I we see you." Smiler would crack I his whip in our direction and go his way. Billy Cloud, who could handle the reins and the cues words J ' it - Mr. and Mrs. Charles Engberson, Sacramento, Calif., became par-ents of their second child, a baby boy, born on Tuesday, Feb. 20. The youngster weighed 8 lbs. 8 oz. and as yet is unnamed. He has an older sister, Janine. Mrs. Engber-son will be remembered as the for-mer Jeanne Hausknecht. Happy grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hausknecht of Copperton and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Engber-son of Oakland, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. Elias Roblez, 334 Wood St., Midvale, are proud par-ents of a new baby boy born Sat-urday, Feb. I 7, at Holy Cross Hos-pital. The baby weighed 5 lbs. 5 oz. and hat been named Stephen. The new arrival has two sisters, Jodi and Debbie, and a brother, Rocky. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Nick Roblez of Bingham Can-yon and Mr. and Mrs. David Fres-que- z of New Mexico. . A welcome home for Miss Flor-ence Alice Malmstrom, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Malmstrom, who recently returned from com-pleting a two-yea- r LDS mission to Sweden, will be held at West Jor-dan Second Ward this Sunday, Feb. 25, at 5:45 p.m. S W. J. ELEMENTARY A FOUNDER'S PROGRAM HELD Weat Jordan Elementary School held their annual founder's day program at the school last Thursday night, February 15. The meeting was conducted by Mrs. Frank Schmidt, president.

Following is the program given: prayer and flag salute by James Peterson's 5th and 6th grade; sev-eral patriotic numbers played by the school band; patriotic art pic-tures were displayed by Mrs. Webb' 4th grade; a report about Abraham Lincoln was presented by Miss Malstrom's 4th grade; a chorus composed of the 5th and 6th grades sang several patriotic numbers; Mr. Cook's 5th grade and Mr. Ware's 6th grade present-ed patriotic readings illustrated with slides; Mr. Barfuss' 6th grade gave a skit on George Washington at Valley Forge; and Mrs. Thur-man- 's 4th grade presented a skit on How We Serve Our Flag.

DANCE CLASS By Linda Bills Each year, during the half-tim- e of Bingham High School's home basketball games, the dance classes provide entertainment. The dancing is enjoyed by both spectators and participants. The activity definitely adds to enthusiatm of the game. Thit year the dancing was some-what different. Each dance had some special significance. The intermediate dance class undertook to perform an authentic Spanish dance. This was under the direction of JoAnn Garamendi. The costuming was patterned closely to , actual clothes of folk dancers in Spanish countries. The advanced dance class per-formed a colorful polka at one of the first home games. Another pre-sentation was a native folk dance done with long bamboo poles. The costume was a loose-fittin- g mau-ma- u dress. This dance was a chal-lenge for the girls as it requires a very strict rhythm and lots of en-ergy. At the last game, a Scottish Highland Fling, complete with the sword ceremony was performed. The costume was a Scottish styled kilt, from the perky hat to the long white knee stockings. Each of the dances mentioned was done as close to the authentic manner as possible. All dances have been enthusiastically received by the audiences. The last Bingham home game will be played next Friday. The girls and their advisor, Mrs. Virginia McDonald, are sure to have more of this entertainment coming up. Elections for class officers were held in the advanced dance class. The vote found Ardith Beckstead to be president and Linda Bills class reporter. RIVERTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL A FOUNDER'S PROGRAM HELD FEB.
