Myers, president of the Bingham Kiwanis Club,' attended the meeting of the County Com-missioners on Wednesday and thanked them for their decision in choosing a concrete road. The project known as the Bingham Extension No. 2 was awarded to the Moran Paving Company on a bid of $105,529.90, to construct four and a tenth miles of plain six-inc- h concrete road. The Commissioners unanimously fa-vored concrete, altho the matter as to the type of road which should be used has created many heated controversies. Between plain and reinforced concrete there was a difference of about $10,000. The estimates of the county for reinforced concrete was $125,370.27. The Reynolds-El- y Construction Co. placed the highest bid, that of $114,759.95 for plain concrete. This project will extend the pavement along the present upper road close to the entrance of the town limits. The different road committees have worked arduously and are entitled to the eulogies extended them for their persistency in se-curing what they think is best for Bingham and its people.

Tii COPPER LEAGUE Copper Wins Two and Loses One. j , On Wednesday last the Copper team journeyed to Garfield where they took the Smelter to camp with a score of 11 to 9. Grant pitched an excellent game, only jetting up when the game was on ice. On Sunday the team played the Smelter on the home Ipt Again the Copper had the game sewed away only to find a defec-tive stitch and lost the game. It all came about over a decision at home plate. The Garfield um-pire called the decision. The Smelter objected. According to reports the local base umpire put in his uncalled for sayso, which induced the head umpire to re-verse his decision. Whether it was this decision or the inability of the local team, due to long hours and little practice, to stand the strain, the defense snapped. Glynn was pitching his usual masterly game but the team went to pieces behind him. Five cost-ly errors in a row in the eighth inning melted all the Copper ice. The game was spoiled and Smelt-er went home with the victojy, 9 to 6. ; On Wednesday of this week the team again went to Garfield. The T)oys had not seen the dia-mond since they left it Sunday evening. All had to work from seven in the morning till eight in the evening on both Monday and Tuesday. Fortunately Art-hur forfeited and saved the Cop-per team from slipping out of sec-ond place. It may be good sport to criti-cize the ball team, it may show loyalty to crab and knock, and it apparently is, judging from the the conduct of local fans. There is one thing certain and that is the team cannot win baseball games and work 12 hours a day every day except the day of the game. The field day opponents will be met on the local field Sunday, look both teams over and then judge who will win Field day. Copperfield Brevities Mrs. A.

Mining Company to Build New Hotel and Change Rooms The United States Mining Co. one of the oldest ore producing mining properties of the camp, will in the near future boast-- of one of the best hotels and change rooms in the state. Plans have been completed for the erection of the buildings, which will be able to accommodate 150 men. The new boarding house is to be built below the Utah Copper Company apartments at Upper Bingham. Between these two companies the living quarters for mine employees in this part of the camp are being modernized and all of the old "rag town" quarters will soon be a thing of the past. Besides the new boarding house, the United States Com-pany is going to build a modern concrete and steel change room. This is to be built above the por-tal of the. Niagara tunnel. Steps will lead from the tunnel within the building to the change room, which will be above the elevation of the tunnel. The mine employ-ees will be enabled to change clothes before and after work without going outside of the workings. Although a big force of men is employed at the United States mine, the production and devel-me- nt work could use many more, and the new building pro-gram is expected to make the property one of the most at-tractive in the state for workers.
