In consequence, no candidate and no other living person knew how any other candidate stood. The temptation to "buy" enough votes to get in the lead if any candidate had been disposed to do so was thus en-- The Press-Bulleti- n Subscription campaign was brought to an exciting close last Saturday night when the judges met at the Bingham Garage to make the final count and the can-didates and their friends were there to watch and learn the result of the race. Every candidate, aside from the notice of the final count, published in last week's paper, had been com-municated with personally and invit-ed to be present at the canvass of the votes and most of them were there. Sealed Ballot Box Opened Every precaution had been taken by the management of the campaign to insure the closing of the campaign under circumstances which would guarantee absolute fairness. During the last nine days all new and re-serve votes were to be deposited by ? ' '.'., , V'v STEVE STRILICH WINNER OF FORD tirely eliminated, for no candidate had any way of knowing how many votes he or she needed. Shortly after nine o'clock Saturday night the judges took standing room around the ballot-bo- x, each equipped with a pencil and several sheets of paper; the seal of the ballot box was ; broken in the presence of the judges, , the candidates and their friends, and the canvassing of the votes began. Votes Bring Surprises There was tense moments when the seals on the envelopes containing the j new and reserve of the candidates were broken and the judges began to tally the votes of the various candi-dates. Mr. Steve Strilich's vote was a complete surprise to everyone in the room. Everybody in Bingham - and the surrounding camps knew that Mr. Strilich had been working night and day for several weeks past, but none had any idea of the success which had crowned his efforts. His vote total was over a million more than his nearest competitor. Records Open to Inspection The management of the Press-Bulleti- n had advertised from the begin-ning of the campaign that it would guarantee the fairness of the cam-paign and that the candidate turning in the largest number of subscriptions would be awarded the grand capital prize. A careful in-vestigation was in progress all the time to make sure that all subscrip-tions were bona fide. There is nothing secret about the result Xf the campaign, the number of subscriptions turned in or the amount of money collected for sub-scriptions by each candidate. A re-ceipt was issued by each candidate for each subscription, the candidate kept a duplicate receipt and turned in another duplicate to the campaign manager. Each candidate was given a receipt by the campaign manager for each remittance that they made. These receipts were all numbered and were carefully checked before the closing night, and have since been carefully checked by the Press-Bu- i- , letin management and the amount of money turned in by each candidate exactly corresponds with the number of subscriptions and with the num-ber of votes issued to each candidate. All this data will be kept perma-nently in the Press-Bulleti- n office where any candidate or the friend of any candidate is at liberty at any time to make a complete inspection of it. Campaign Was Big Success No subscription campaign ever con-ducted in Utah by a weekly news-paper had met with the degree of success of the one closed in Bingham Canyon last Saturday. The Press-Bullet- in subscription was more than doubled, making it one of the largest if not the largest of any weekly in the state of Utah and giving the pa-per a value as an advertising med-ium possessed by very few weeklies in the state. The Press-Bulleti- n willed to express its very hearty appreciation of the earnest efforts of all the contestants and the public ,and to thank them for the greatly extended field of activity which they have opnd to his papr. t And to the gentlemen all of them men of the highest standing who - conducted the final count of votes, we wish also to express our highest appreciation.

The curtain has dropped upon the final scene of the great Press-Bulleti- n Circulation Campaign; the prizes have been awarded to the fortunate contestants, and the regular routine will again be in vogue, but before putting the famous contest on the shelves, a short resume should be given, in order that all may know just what has been done during the past six week. Starting on the 10th day of August, the candidates were on their way for the coveted prizes. The first week of the campaign brought out the fact that a certain newspaper was not in a healthy financial condition as' it stated it was not able to give away a Ford Coupe (which the Press-Bulleti- n did do.) During the second and third week libelous articles also appeared declar-ing that a Ford Coupe would not be given away, which failed to cause much comment among the contest-ants. Things went along rather serenely during the third and fourth weeks, but during the fifth week, blue pen-ciled newspapers made an appear-ance in certain sections of the camp which, according to reports were passed out to break up the campaign1. Along came the sixth week, with the campaign going along at a mer-ry clip, when lo and behold, the enemies had got in their work, and all prizes were held up. The contest took a nose dive, and came close to oblivion, but it was not to be, and, as had been promised, the Press-Bullet- in gave its prizes to the lucky con-testants ,and as far as is known, all is well. The Press-Bulleti- n wants to take "tfiis "timii' 1of Hank" Weryo'niTwho as- -' sisted in making the campaign the most successful ever held in Bingham Canyoii. It want to thank the con-testants, one and all, for their ef-forts, and it wants to thank all those who rallied to the support of the con-testants. It wants to thank all those who stood by the Press-Bulleti- n dur-ing its darkest hours, those who stood for this newspaper when certain ele-ments worked day and night against its prosperity. It wants to thank those who took such underhanded methods to break up the campaign, not because they failed to carry out their malicious ef-forts, but because the "snake in the grass" people of the camp were found out. The Press-Bulleti- n believes in the Bible to a great extent, but that part where it declares one should turn the other cheek, is taboo, as with certain folks hereabouts, one would probably get kicked on the shins while waiting for the second slap, i The Press-Bulleti- n is not an ele-- i phant, but it has a very good mem-- . ory, and will never forget the many kindnesses shown by the contestants and people of the camp in making the campaign a success, and neither will it ever forget the underhanded work of a few, who, through their ef-forts at personal gain, left no stone '' unturned to corrupt not only this newspaper, but also themselves. No, we will not forget those hypo-crites, who, with a grin on their faces tried to pose as "friends," and prob-ably, ere long we will be able to re-turn these "friendly" efforts. MIGHT SCHOOL i T0J3E OPENED Several High Class Courses Offered to People of Camp at Local Insti- - tution of Learning. Another attempt at operating a night school in Bingham Canyon will be started on Monday evening of ' next week. Courses in English, Cit-izenship, Bookkeeping, Typewriting, Shorthand, Machine Work, Auto Electricity and Surveying have been proposed. Last year, a night school was start-ed but was short-live- the people of the camp failing to realize the im-portance of such a movement. This town is composed of many foreigners, who if told, would be more than willing to attend night school, in an effort to gain an education after working hours. According to reports, many, last year, were ignorant of the functioning of a night school here, and after several weeks of effort on the part of the faculty, the night school died a natural death. That this condition is deplorable, is the consensus of opinion, as the local institution of learning boasts of one of the finest faculties in the state. It is up to the people, of the town as to whether a night school will be held this year, and courses of instruc-tion is in the hands of those enroll-ing. If as many as ten desire to reg-ister for any of the foregoing courses, the course will be offered. It is to be hoped that the people of Bingham Canyon, desirous of an edu-cation, will be on hand Monday eve-ning at the new High School build-ing. If members of the faculty are willing to give of their evenings in an1 effort at helping people of this town, surely the least these same folks can do is show their appreciation by be-ing in attendance. Mil FEATURES WILLBE GIVEN Chairman of Entertainment Commit-tee at Gemmell Promises Great Variety for Month of October. Probably the greatest month in the history of the Robert C. Gemmell Memorial Club will be that of Octo-ber, when Bonnie Jones, chairman of the entertainment committee will pre-sent the greatest array of entertain-ment ever presented to the people of Bingham Canyon. Starting with Tuesday, October 13, which is open night at the club, the committee promises much. On this night a local orchestra will furnish music of the highest class, while on October 20, a week later, there will be a card party, with prizes offered for high score. It is the effort of the committee in tfnarge to 'make Tuesday' 'evening the feature night of each week, and all members are requested to bring their "better halves" to these open meet-ings. It is the pleasure of the enter-tainment committee to see the many members of the great Utah Copper company enjoy themselves, and ac- - cording to reports it is their sincere wish that every member be present. The famous Ariel Orchestra will be in attendance at a monster dance on Friday, October 23, but the real treat of the month will be the offer-ing 6i the Portia Mansfield Dancers, who are making a flying trip across the continent, playing but six en-gagements in Utah, the Gemmell Club being among the chosen six. Al-though no definite date has been set it isnderstood they will perform on either Wednesday, Thursday or' Fri-day of the following week. This show is by far the greatest ever attempted in Bingham Canyon, and will be one that will be remembered by all who attend their sterling performance. As an added measure of pleasure for the month of October, the athletic committee also announces a huge smoker which will also be held dur-ing the last week of thq month. j Thus it. is seen that the entertain- - ment committee has outdone itself in the matter of affording the members of the Gemmell Memorial Club a real month .of high class entertainment, and it is to be hoped the members reciprocate by turning out enmasse for the open meetings on Tuesdays as well as for the special features. ' " FIREOESTRDYS JOHNSON HOUSE Nine families left homeless at 106 Carr Fork, when pot of boiling tar explodes. Firemen and Coppermen do great work. Nine families were left homeless Tuesday morning when fire destoyed the house at 106 Carr Fork, which was owned by Ed Johnson of Bing-ham Canyon, and Vic Anderson of Sandy. The fire, which started at 10:40, was first noticed by the crew of En-gine No. 500, of the Utah Copper, who sounded the alarm with a series of shrill blasts from the locomotive. James Nerdin, Master Mechanic for the company sent his machine shop workers to the scene, and valiant work was done by this organization before the arrival of the fire appar-atus. Seeing the flames bursting through the side of the house Mrs. Jack Dav-idson of 102 Carr Fork sent in the alarm, and in a few minutes the new La France Truck, with Otto Lee at the wheel was on the scene. The powerful truck experienced no difficulty in getting up the Carr Fork Hill, and in a short time was pump-ing water from the creek for the many streams which played on the flames, subduing them after a bitter fight of 'more than an hour. A pot of boiling tar exploding in the kitchen of the Johnson home is alleged to have been the cause of the conflagration. Several outstanding facts were brought out during the fire. In the first place, great credit must be given the Utah Copper men who rushed to the scene, and worked with might and main, braving danger and suffocation in an effort at subduing the flames, which for a time threatened to clean out the entire neighborhood. They worked with' speed and precision, and - "never 'once during the entire time was one of them found wanting. Another fact worthy of comment was the manner in which the new fire truck did its work. When the new pump stationed about the scene of the fire was put to the test in the creek, there was more water avail-able than at any fire ever witnessed in Bingham Canyon. The special Utah Copper fire plug, which is located a few feet below the fire area, also did great service with its 250 pound pressure. Vblunteer firemen of Bingham Canyon gave a great exhibition of fire fighting, and once more their names go. down in the annals of the town as Bingham Canyon's real heroes. Another fact brought out during the fire, was that with all the water be-ing used, the Carr Fork tanks of the city were filled to overflowing, thus eliminating the rumor that the town is without adequate water supply in case of an emergency. Those who were left homeless were Ed Johnson, Mrs. Brown, Vic Matt-so-and Gus Johnson in the John-son side of the double house, and Kay Lemon, Fred Jackson, Mr. Davis, Fred Nyquist and Mr.. Ed Jessen in the Anderson side. Slight damage was done to the Carl Nepple residence on the upper side of the fire, this being the only damage done during the fire, outside of the Johnson and Anderson buildings. j, .j. 'I'WWiwm TownTalk It is said there is a quotation in the bible which says something about "out of the mouth of babes," etc., and with this being the case, it was deem-ed advisable to allow students of the Bingham Canyon High School to give their opinions on the subject of things pertaining to "Speeding." This week the Junior class of the high school has given its opinion of the question ,and this column "Town Talk" is passed over to them for the present week. We wish to thank Mrs. Edna P. Wade, head of the English department, and the Junior tlass for- the following essays and. suggestions. Abolishment of Speeding Eskel Johnson Speeding, one of the greatest men-ace of our age, comparable only to dope, should be ostracized or elim-inated by the automobile world. There are several ways by which it could be abolished. First, better enforce-ment of speed laws, and second, new laws concerning construction of au-tomobiles. We have speed laws but they are not stern or strict enough. Why not, when a person is caught speeding, put him in jail for a term, not giving him a chance to buy himself out of his difficulty by paying a small fine. No sooner is he out of court than he forgets that he has ever been caught for speeding, and he goes out and steps on it as the saying goes. Then our law making bodys could make a law that automobile manu-facturers cannot make cars to sell to the public which would exceed forty miles per hour. They could make their cars just as beautiful and with as much power as before, only lack-ing in speed. The nation's motto should be "Let the race track be for speeding. What We Can Do to Stop Speeding Robert O'Neal Speeding of cars in Bingham Can-yon's narrow street is biggest men-ace toward taking of human life. The main street of this canyon is the play grounds for all the children of the canyon and they must be guard-ed against the speeding of cars. There is a city ordinance that states all cars must be in shifted gear while passing schools during recess and noon to protect the children from the passing cars. To stop speeding and reckless driv-ing in this canyon a test on how to drive a car should be given to all drivers (concerning how to drive a car). This test should include also, what they should watch for while passing the schools and why it is necessary to shift into second gear while going out of the canyon. I think that all cars should be com-pelled to be in shifted gears while in city limits to protect the children that play in the streets. There are all kinds of fines put on speeders in this canyon, but none are strong enough to protect theis town from speeding motorists which are able to pay a fine. There should be a jail sentence of thirty to sixty days in jail placed on them. This would (Continued on Page 7) , TTV VTTTTTT T TT ( , , - - . . ISWlNS" PROVE FATAL Efforts of Peanut Politicians to De-stroy Press-Bulleti- n Prove Futile Work Is Crude. Aspirations to be something more than a common laborer proved the undoing of certain politicians during the past week when the Press-Bulleti- n staged a circulation campaign, in which every method known to un-derhanded dealings were brought out without noticeable ,4kJ Feeling the Press-Bulleti- n may prove to be a hindrance to their ef-forts at reaching the moon, these politicians, seeing the success of the Press-Bulleti- n campaign from the very outset, decided to not only stop the campaign, but had gone so far as to declare that the present ed-itor would be out of Bingham, Can-yon by October 1. Further com-ments disclosed the fact that another had been chosen to operate the Press- - Bulletin when the present editor "had gone back from whence he came." The present editor is still in town, and probably will be for some time to come, although after the efforts of the past few weeks, most anything could be expected, without offering a surprise. Ambition has done much to carry men to the highest pinnacle of suc-cess, while this same ambition has also done its share toward pulling men to the lowest depths. Ambition, with a clear conscience to assist, will do much toward success, but when one has a past, a besmirched con-science ,and an evil heart, the efforts of ambition often fails to do its part. Great writers, and essayists have in the past written much concerning the value of living a clean life, of kind-ling the spark of ambition, and again Bineham Canyon comes to the fore in the knowledge that books on this question do not have to be read, as the living examples are within our gates. These models of what a per-son should not be, parade the streets, with a grin here, and a remark there, always with one objective, "how can we fool this fellow?" Surely these would-b- e "good men" do not believe people hearken to their line of "salve." Surely they do not feci that memories of a few years ago have been forgotten, that the presentation of a grin, or a glibe re-mark would cause people to obliter-ate things that have gone before. Abraham Lincoln once said some-thing about fooling the people some of the time, but that it was impossible to fool all the people all the time. Truly, Honest Abe said a mouthful. So, when it is all said and done, let us be on our guard. Let us listen, but say little. Let us remember that crimes of the past are not wiped out with the passing of time, that they remain a crime to the end of time. Let us remember that with all that will be said and done, the righteous will be rewarded Vind those of the underhanded tacticsvill also get their just desserts. INITIATION TODAY "'-- -:' ' " AT HIGH SCHOOL This afternoon the upper grade stu-dents will initiate the Freshmen in the annual frolic which every pupil looks forward to. Extensive ar-rangements have been made by the students for this great event, which according to reports will be "bigger and better than ever." It was an-nounced that clean fun only will be tolerated, and chances for injury will be conspicuous by its absence. HAPPY DADDY John Vietti is the happiest man in camp these days as his wife present-ed him with a bouncing baby boy on Tuesday October 6. Congratulations, John. To Whom It May Concern: I noticed in the Bingham News of September 26th, 1925, that I am listed as having been paid $86.25 as sick benefits by the National Casualty Company. I have up to date received noth-ing as sick benefits. The facts of the matter are these: I was injur-ed on April 14, 1925, while in my store and on the same day re-ported my injury to Mr. Tony Rino, the agent acting in Bing-ham Canyon for the above nam-ed Casualty Company and re-quested a blank to report the same to the company. The next day Mr. Rino showed me a let-ter or rather gave me the same from the company, together with a check for $5.50, a rebate for unearned premium. This check is not correct. I was taken to the St. Marks Hospital where I re-mained for four weeks. At all times the said National Casualty Company refused me assistance but claimed my policy was can-celled. The publication of benefits paid false state-ment. me is an absolutely I have never received a cent nor has a cent been offered I me for sick benefits in the sick-ness that I went through altho I had been a policy holder in the above named company since March 19, 1923.

KINDERGARTEN OPENS WITH MANY KIDDIES That the kindergarten at the M. E. church, under the supervision of Miss Nellie Stevens, and Mrs. Othiem will prove popular was made manifest .on Monday of this week when twenty-fiv- e children enrolled for the winter semester. Games, singing ,and mak-ing of fancy articles from paper fur-nished the entertainment for the op-ening session, and with many more yet to enter, it is expected that more than 40 will be in attendance before the second week gets under way. Km-- 1 dergarten is held five days each week and starts at 10 each morning. All children between the ages 6f 4 and 5 are eligible for enrollment. MEET AT HIGHLAND BOY PARENT-TEACHER- S TO There will be a Parent-Teache-meeting at the Highland Boy School House this evening (Friday) starting at 7 sharp, it was announced by Prin-cipal Dave Witkins. The meeting is for the purpose of getting acquainted with the parents of the children who attend this school ,and. to study ways and means of perfecting the work of the faculty. It is requested that all parents of this district be in attend-ance as the teachers have a message for all those who attend..

Principal H. R. tkin. A splendid program will be given ' by the faculty and pupils, in an cf-- f rt to interest all parents. Considerable success has been at- - ned through these parent-teacher- s meetings in other parts of the coun-- . and it is the consensus of opinion fV-- t with the of the par-rnt- s, much good would result in 'iigham Canyon from these meet-.'X-in which the opinions of both the faculty and parents are discussed.
