Show FREEMAN GULCH t , On page one of this issue is found a cartoon by our eminent cartoonist, Mr. "Hy" Mitchell, in which he shows the results obtained from living in Markham Gulch. It is not the fault of the cartoonist that he is compelled com-pelled to draw such a vivid picture of the conditions existing in our midst, but the fault of the existing conditions. : We, in our editorials, have ben accused of "knocking" everything pertaining per-taining to Bingham Canyon, and yet, with all that has been said about us, we feel that the sanitary conditions existing in Freeman Gulch should be brought before the people of the camp. There are many in the camp who do not realize what Freeman Gulch is like, as only those having to live in this disease-breeding neighborhood ever have occasion to visit it. Some will think that the cartoon on page 1 is exaggerated, but we, for one, declare that pen and ink CANNOT show the filth and odors that the residents of Freeman Gulch are asked to live with. Perhaps we are "knocking", but let it be remembered that we are knocking for a better living condition for the people of the camp. You who live in a modern, well-equipped home are asked to visit Freeman Gulch, and Lower Main Street and see what the resiaents of that section of the town are asked to put up with. Bingham Canyon, and the people of Bingham Canyon, are certainly entitled to better sanitary conditions, conditions that breed disease, bring death, and in general, bring nothing but misery 'to all who are FORCED to live under the present conditions. |
