The Cavemen, holding the driver's seat in the league race with wins over Pleasant Grove and Spanish Fork, will be playing traditional rivals when the Lehi Pioneers invade in-vade their city. On paper the Cavemen Cave-men will have an edge over Lehi, as the Pioneers lost to Springville last week and the Forkers had previously pre-viously trimmed Springville. However, How-ever, Lehi will be pointing for the game and won't hesitate to shoot the works. Boyd Durrant, husky line plunger, and shifty Harry McTague are the chief Cavemen threats, while Lehi will bank on its plucky forward wall and upon the ball-toting of Mitchell. Provo plays at Springville, Span ish Fork travels to Pleasant Grove and Lincoln goes to Payson Friday in the other region games.

Another man, John Dazanche, 51, was also kliled in the cave-in. A crew of miners found the bodies Tuesday at 4:15 p. m. entombed be neath more than four feet of muck which had slipped from the 14-foot bank at the base of which they had been digging. A physician, called to the scene during the digging op erations said the men had been dead for about an hour when their bodies were recovered, ana pronounced pro-nounced suffocation as the cause of the death. The twn men were working a lease property only a short distance east of the company's upper mine office. They were digging aiong t.he hase nf the dumD when the earth and rocks of the wall, weak ened hv heaw rainfall during the last two days, gave way and buried them alive. Employes at the mine office failed to hear the cavein but said the victims vic-tims were last seen at about 2:30 p. m. First to reach the tragedy scene was George Wunder, an office employe em-ploye of the company, who went to investigate when they failed to report re-port at the office to check out for the day. Mr. Hoine was born November 13, 1915 at Hermosa Beach, California, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank O. Hoine, and moved to Bingham with his parents 15 years ago.

The snow and rain storm which visited this section this week was the biggest storm, in view of moisture mois-ture content, that we have had for several years. With the exception of one storm, which occurred in July, 1931, this storm brought more moisture than any storm in the past 16 years, according to Mr. Shelton of the Jordan River Pumping plant. During this recent storm 1.07 in. of moisture fell. The storm in July, 1931, brought 1.24 inches of moisture. Several of the power lines thru-out thru-out the city were out of order Wed nesday morning as a result of the storm, which caused limbs to fall over the wires. Many citizens were very much surprised to awaken Wednesday morning and find the ground cov ered with a blanket of snow, the first to visit this section this season. Arley Clark and Thomas Trinna man began working on the case immediately and Wednesday morning morn-ing the burglars were apprehended and the merchandise returned to the store. Harvey Dudley and Hollis Colton, both of American Fork were arrested by City Marshal Clark and later turned over to J. J. Mercer and Clark, county deputy sheriffs. According to reports given by City Marshal Clark, the two young men were in Larsen's store Tuesday eve ning and sold some sacks of onions to Mr. Larsen. One clue led to an other and the two young men were later arrested and the merchandise found. It had been cached in Highland. High-land. A tool which had been used to pry open the door was found in one of their cars. It fit perfectly into the marks in the door and later investigations led to the arrest ar-rest of the two young men. The storehouse was entered by breaking off the locks and prying open the door. Night Marshal Thomas Trinnaman in making his rounds found the locks broken off and immediately notified Edward J. Larsen. The quick work and thorough investigation in-vestigation by our local officers was responsible in finding the goods and apprehending the burglars. On November 7, Lehi citizens will go to the polls and vote In a mayor, two-year term; city councilman, four-year term; three city council-men, council-men, two-year term; a city recorder and a city treasurer. According to law the Primaries 30 Young Man Receives Mission Call Alfred Reed Adams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred F. Adams, has received re-ceived a call to labor as an L. D. S. missionary in the Northern States. He will leave for the mission school in Salt Lake City on October 9, and will depart for the mission field on October 19. Reed is a fine young man and well-qualified to serve as a missionary. mission-ary. His many friends join in wishing wish-ing him happiness and success in his new work. A missionary farwell testimonial will be given in his honor in the Second ward, under direction of the ward missionary committee. The date has been tentatively set for; October 18. Harvest Ball Set For October 20th days prior to election and not later than 15 days before the election and in case of petition not later than 12 days before election. Primaries of the two principal pcrties will be called within the near future at which time candidates candi-dates for the various offices will be nominated. Edward J. Larsen is chairman of the Lehi Republican committee and Hyrum A. Anderson is chairman of the Democratic committee. com-mittee. Citizens it is time now to consider candidates best suited to run for these important offices in our city government. Several prospects are being named at the present and the political pot is beginning to simmer. Sewer To Be Constructed Back Of Business Block Coming Week Will See Completion of City Project Power Investigating Committee Reports Final plans and details are now being completed for the annual Lehi Stake , Harvest Ball, which will be held on the evening of October 20 in the First ward amusement hall The affair is being sponsored by the M. I. A., but all funds will be turned over to the stake. Autumn decorations will adorn the hall and will provide an ideal setting for this annual social function. The Junior girls of the stake have been asked to decorate the hall for the occasion. A splendid orchestra is being en-eatrfid en-eatrfid for the dancing party and everything is being done to make the affair an enjoyable one for ev ery member of the stake and also members from neighboring stakes Don't forget the date Friday evening, eve-ning, October 20; the place First ward amusement hall; the occasion the annual Harvest Ball. A sewer will be constructed within the near future back of the business district block on the north side of Main street to take care of all drainage drain-age from this section. The line will begin back of Bob's Shoe Shop and run through the en tire block and entering into the present pres-ent sewer system, which takes care of the schools and Memorial build-in? build-in? drainage, running north and south on Center street. The city will take care of the excavating ex-cavating and business houses will be required to pay for the pipe. It will be divided according to feet. Each business house will be required to put in a septic tank so that only liquids will pass through the drain age pipe. This system has been badly need ed for some time and will be of great value to the business district. The investigating into the needs and possibilities of the Lehl Power system is well under way. The com mittee have met and the members have been assigned their duties. They have made a trip to other city-owned plants and in the near future will have some encouraging information for the citizens. With a few inexpensive improvements improve-ments and repairs the City Power Plant is in good condition. We found the bonds and interests have been paid up to date, also, all materials and supplies have been paid for and there remains In the city treasury a substantial sum to the Power sys tern's credit.. There is no need to be alarmed about the engines tak lng care of the present load and before be-fore it is alarming we will have a detailed, report and some definite recommendations. The reports circulated here and elsewhere to the effect that the citizens of Lehl are discouraged with the Power business is not true. The great majority are well satisfied with the progress of the system thus far and are looking forward to greater progress. We may have some recommendations recommenda-tions and requests to make in respect re-spect to porch lighting and we ask the citizens to give us their full co operation when this request is made.

Fairfield Residents Refuse To Send Children To Cedar Fort School Fairfield parents are still main-fcreated where a greater number of tainins: their stand and refuse to send their children to Cedar Fort to attend school. The Fairfield one-room school house was closed down this year and arrangements were made by the school board to have the children chil-dren transported to the neighboring community, Cedar Fort, to aiiena school. The school board reports that is was necessary to close down this small school because of the fact that the state department of public Instruction refused to allot the district dis-trict equalization funds to carry on this school. The state department is carrying on this program throughout the entire en-tire state. Small schools have been closed throughout the state and children transported to the larger schools. The school board have considered the matter and report that it is im-nossible im-nossible to carry on this school with out the state allotment funds.

He was on a hill at Mercur with his father and brothers during the thunder storm. Without warning the lightning struck, knocking him down and rendering him unconscious uncon-scious for several minutes. His father and brothers, Fred and Andy, immediately began working with him and he regained conscious ness within a short time. His side bothered him quite a great deal the next day, but at present he seems to be none the worse for the exper ience. children are in a grade togetnei. They report that last year there were only from nine to 11 children attending In Fairfield in the first six grades, and in some grades there were only one or two children The school board are maintaining a bus and driver from Fairfield to Cedar Fort every morning and back again after school, whether or not the children attend. Residents of Fairfield state they do not think their children are receiving re-ceiving any advantage by traveling tn odar Fort, because that too is a small school consisting of only two rooms and having two teachers. They feel that the school should be maintained in their community. Their school building has been made modern and can be petitioned Into various classes if necessary, they report. re-port. .They feel that their children are small and it will be too much of a strain on the children to travel back and .forth to Cedar Fort by bus every day during the cold and threatening weather. If they take the school away, people peo-ple will eventually move, and in time everything will be taken away from Fairfield, they state. They still are very much opposed to sending Former Resident Wins Recognition In Song Writing Sally Taylor, instructor of music in the Midvale city schools, is receiving re-ceiving recognition in the song writing writ-ing field and deserves to be highly congratulated on her talent and ability in the musical line. 1 She has written many songs for programs and entertainments and has composed and presented many outstanding operettas for her music department.

It Is planned not only to continue the campaign next year but to Intensify In-tensify it so that it will become much more far reaching in Its purposes. pur-poses. Efforts this year were mostly most-ly to clean up our rubbish and weeds. Next year some phases of beautification will be added," such as repairing, painting, planting. The ultimate aim Is to make of Lehl what she should be, one of the most beautiful cities of the state. Recently, plaques have been awarded to the Powers Shoe Store, Lee Rick and Joseph Woolstenhulme. There is still an opportunity for others to obtain plaques before winter win-ter sets In. Those who earn plaques this year will In all probability be given special honor if they make the roll again next year. It will, therefore, be to the advantage of the property owner to win a place on the Roll of Honor this year, If possible. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. McCarrel of Salt Lake City were guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Zimmerman, Sunday. |
