BINGHAM MEATW READLTO MOVE Opening of Bingham Meat Company's New Market Scheduled for Tuesday of Next Week. Tuesday of next week will see the opening of the new plant of the Bing-ham Meat Co., at 460 Main street,-formerl-occupied by the Mascot.- - The opening of a new market in a community usually brings forth slight talk here and there, but in the advent of the opening of the Bingham Meat, something more than a mere few words should be said concerning the new market. It is without a doubt the' finest equipped market in the state of Utah at the present time, being the first to use the latest model of the Lipman Full Automatic Refrigerating ma-chine, said to be the finest of its kind made. -' When it is recalled how , markets used to care for their products in the matter of sanitation, how they used to load the ice box every so often with ice, and the loss of many hours in the operation, it is remarkable to note that the entire plant of the hew Bingham Canyon Meat Co. is kept at a freezing temperature with the aid of a machine barely five feet long. The interior of the new market, is finished in white enamel, and every part of the lower floor of the large building will be used by the market. One of the new Lipman Sanitary dispensing cases, with the ammonia coils in full view of the customer, the latest of its kind, adorns the. shop. A new fish box, in which will be kept fresh fish from the Pacific seaboard, is another innovation that is worthy of more than passing mention. This contrivance is also equipped with coils, thus assuring the people of the camp a strictly fresh product. The grand opening of the new shop will take place on Tuesday, and the citizens of Bingham Canyon are invit-ed to inspect this last word in perfect M r. ' K i t eliTe,of ' ft e Au t o ifi aTuTtfe frigeration Co. of Salt1 Lake City, win: installed the wonderful plant hat, beer in constant .. attendance' during the past week,- supervising the installa-tion of the Lipman stem. - ; As has been .aid, the ice box is s new one, with two layers of inch anc i.if t i:: .1 i i . m iinij ii'iit lining uuwuK'ii'U'., iiidmiit; it capable of holding the cold in the warmest weather, All in all, the Bingham Canyon Meat company's new market is absolutely the last word In the sanitary dispensing of meat. It is worth your time to inspect this new market. POSTMASTER HEW GIVESMOT Many Vital Statistic Given to Public in Letter to Postmasters of the Country. Harry S. New, Postmaster General of the United States, in a letter to the postmasters, gives many interesting side lights on the postal system of this nation, and through the courtesy of Postmaster Boyd J. Barnard of the local postoffice, the Press-Bulleti- n is handing it on to its readers, that they may realize the work attached to get-ting your letters, and iny letters to their proper destinations, Following is the letter in part: Tb Postmasters:. Herewith I am communicating' to you certain facts relating to the op-eration of the postal system since March 4, 1921. During this period the postal service has witnessed extra-ordinary expansion and marked im-provements ' The expansion has been so rapid and at times uneven that it has for short intervals taxed to the extreme all the efforts and energies of the postal organization and the existing appropriations. This expansion i3 measured by two distinct considera-tions: one is the increase in postal receipts, there having been a total in- -j crease in three years of $188,508,725, so that the annual receipts last year reached the sum of $572,000,000. The other consideration is the spread of towns and cities due to the influence of the automobile. The same number of people doing the same amount of business are now spread over a far greater area than formerly. People are not residing so closely together in the cities. Because of this fact cities have grown in the last few years out into the country and sub-urbs to an extent not ordinarily ap-preciated. The mail carrier must go where they are. It is not possible to measure in exact terms how much this new phase in the spread of cities has tbsr tWS-pn-tt strmtn'tJyBmflr)cr of carriers rendered necessary, the number of motor vehicle trucks re-quired, and otherwise. i In farming and rural districts, there have been established in three years 1O08 rural routes, and many existing routes have been lengthened, so that the result is that the service has been extended during tins urn to jd.jvj pople who hitherto have had no de-livery service whatever. At the pres-ent time, the number of families serv-ed by rural routes is 6,534,900, and the total population is 30,060,816.' The motor vehicle service now re-quires, in order to perform its part in the postal service, 8,758 motor vehicle trucks or its equivalent, which is 2,-4- more than was required three years ago. Of this number 5,278 are Government-owne- d. The remainder are employed under contract or under yearly, daily or hourly rental, It should be noted that the cost of main-taining and operating the government-owne- d trucks has been reduced from 87c to 63c per hour. While this expansion of, and im-provements in, the postal service has been met in the foregoing manner, it is to be noted that the postal "de-ficit" has at the same time been re-duced from $83,400,000 to about 0. This has been accomplished almost wholly by the inauguration of better business methods, and the ap-plication of a rigid system of econ- - omy. It has not been accomplished by unreasonable exactions from those who perform the work in the postal service. In fect, the conditions of la-bor have been very markedly im-proved. Daily air mail service on a route from New York to San Francisco has been established. The postage paid by the public is 8c per ounce for each of the three zones. The value of such service to business and to the dcvel- - opment of the science of aeronautics is readily escn and fully appreciated by the public. The schedule is ev-ery day, including Sundays and holi-days, and the time for the trip is 34 hours and 45 minutes going west, and 31 hours and .55 minutes coming east. New air mail stamps, 8c, 16c, and Jtc have been issued.- - This is the longest air line in the world and is the only route upon which night as well as day flyintr is employed. Airmail was recommend-ed by postmaster Generals Hays and Work and put in operation by me on July 1, 1924, by and with the approval of President Coolidge and Congress. .(Continued on Page 6) fllfllLDKC ' ;SHflWERDSPERITY - Local Improvements Show Bingham, , Canyon to be in Healthy Finan- - ' cial Condition.

Like' the Bingham Hotel it is of concrete, - . and fireproof throughout, the two up-per floors being used as . steepinn rooms, with several apartments pn the second floor.' ' . Mr. Titchios is now busily engag-ed erecting a four-sto- ry rooming . , house over the Pefczopanc Grocery on Main street, and according .to the owner will be ready for occupancy in ..... a short time. Guy Bolognese, ' who lost several dwelling houses during the great firir " tlie"pVst weVk7 on Sis property acroiT.. i from the formef location o the Biiifr--i ham Garage. Mr. Bolognes stated he would build a dwelling on the rear of the lot, with a modern rooming house facing Main street. l Many improvements", have been made at the different mines for the summer just closed, and an emergen-c- y hospital is being erected on Main street .together with a residence for ' . Drs. Frazier and Cain adjoining thi: v .. Bologne-- e property, by the Utah ;. Copper company. . . ; It is said that Jerome Bourgard, owner of much property destroyed by ' . the fire, will start rebuilding as sOon as he returns from a trip east,' which should terminate early in October.- The Bingham Meat ' Company is practically , ready to occupy its, hew home in the former location of the Mascot on Main Street across from the Bingham Hospital. ' There are many - other improve-ments that should be recorded that we fail to recall at this time, but suf-fice to say that the summer of 1924 will go down in the history of Bing- - . ham Canyon as one of the greate.t -- of all time, as far as building and im- - . provements are concerned. - Long live Bingham Canyon, Its car-- . penlers, its land owners, and every-one who is helping make this town a better and bigger place to live in! R. I. FERRELL TO gib nil . Popular Postal Clerk Receives Trans-fer to Salt Lake TPottoffice After Eight Year Service Record Here. R. I. Ferrell, for the past ten years " 'I resident of Bingham Canyon and a postal carrier for Uncle Sam for the past eight years, will leave Bing-ham Canyon on October 16 for Salt Lake City, where he will continue in the service of the United States Gov- - - ernment ' v'" .." . Mr. Ferrell asked for a transfer several weeks ago, after he had mov-ed his family to Centerville, Utah, where he purchased property. The new location affords Mr. Ferrell the opportunity of living at Centerville with his family, which was an impos-sibility while serving Uncle Sam in " ; ' r Bingham Canyon. ' He came to Bingham Canyon in January, 1915, to accept a lease on the Press-Bullet- in print shop, from I. H. Masters, then owner of the Bingham weekly, with Mr. Guy Baum in charge as editor. In November, 1916, he severed his connections with the Press-Bulleti- n and joined the pos-tal service. In June, 1916, he joined the military service, seeing service with the wireless division of the Air Service, returning to his post at Bing-ham Canyon on April 14, 1919. At that time Mr. Ferrill had what was then known as City Route No. 1, which comprised the business district and . when this route was added to other route in June, 1920, Mr. Fer-rill chose the Copperfield and U. S. Mine route, the one he has held ever since. On June 1, 1922, Mr. Ferrell mar-ried Miss Josephine Berry, at that time assistant Postmistress of the " Bingham Canyon postoffice. Mr. Ferrell was very prominent in both social and civic activities, and bis loss to the town will be hard to . fill, ' He was an active .member of ' Jwr Cgnpianr at the present 'time being Treasurer of that organ- -' J , ization. , , r ' - The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. ' Ferrell wish them only the best of everything in their new home, and what is Bingham Canyon's loss is Ccnterville's gain. DID YOU KNOW 1 That the swan song; announcing the last stand, is again being heard. That the issue of the Press-Bulleti- n of last week, contained seven pages of Bingham news matter. That we defy any other weekly in the county to step up and say as much. That they may say it, but can they prove it? That we are always busy trying to give the people of the camp a bet-ter paper, and have no time for short vacations. That although we are not a 'teacher, we are under the Impression that Mary Pickford's first lesson must have been: I dig, I dug, I have "Doug." ' That bobbed heads are a misnomer. We call 'tm just plain shaves. That the "long-haire- d woman's pa-rade in Chicago was a failure. One woman was sick and the other wouldn't march alone. That too many Bingham Canyon young men brag too often about what they make and not often That some people's idea of a free press is one free to say mean things about those thty do not like. That we like - everyone, although there are many who do not like us. That if everybody liked us, and agreed with us, we would have to get out of the newspaper game. That we still have a few people who for a good many years have said: "Bingham Canyon is no good." We regret to say," however, that these people have never shown any dis-position to go elsewhere. That if powder puffs will win a war, America is safe forever. That you've got to have a pull to get into the dental profession. That if we had some of the names those Chinese have, we'd fight tool That it is as clear as mud! Gen.

That the local fire organizations are worthy of patronage at all' times Do your bit. Whose Fault Is It?; i. . . . . . . When we were young, we were told that the constant dripping of water on a stone will wear the stone away, but the fellow who nude that state-ment has never lived in Bingham Canyon, for, after eight months of tire-less effort at trying to educate the good people of the camp that merchan-dise may be purchased in Bingham Canyon as cheap or perhaps cheaper than at mail order houses, we received a Jolt this week that sent our weary brain and for a few minutes thought our efforts of 'the last eight months were for naught, and that the principal use of our weekly Offering was in the kindling of the morning fire. v , Some of our most intimate friends will again step to tho fore, and pro-claim to the world that we are knocking, but we don't-car- particularly what they think or say, as we received a real jolt, and we, are going to de clare ourselves here and now. ..' During the summer just closing, we have witnessed many peculiar things while looking over conditions on Main street, but he most disagree-able sight of all was the amount of Salt Lake merchants" who, while business is slack in the metropolis, send solicitors to Binghanv Canyon in an effort to stave off the wolf. " '' '. Lest the people of the camp forget, it may be well to state at the outset of this editorial that it is NOT a paid editorial, that thereis not a merchant in this town who has seen this editorial until it appeared in the paper today. Getting back to the subject of our wrath: During the week, a corpora-tion, doing business in Bingham Canyon, although not located here, accord-ing to advices, purchased some improved property, and. decided to make some" improvements, namely, the building of a barn, anthe putting in of sanitation in three houses. ' '? The people of Bingham Canyon will no doubt be more than happy to hear of the foregoing improvements, and so are we, BUTf-whe- re did thiB foreign company gets its lumber ;w here did they get their carpenters; where did they get their plumbers? We don't know where the lumber came from, neither do we know where the carpenters came from, but we DO know that the plumber came from Murray, the home of this institution. This paper does not take it upon itself to dictate to the owners of prop-erty as to whom they should employ in the improving of their property, but it does rare up when a foreign business establishment comes to this camp daily, does a thriving business, and then gets a foreign plumber to do its work without giving the local plumbers a chance to even bid on the job. If the local business man is too high in his bid, we say it is well to look around for a better price, but when an out of town institution hires out of town labor without even allowing the local man to bid, we say it is high time something is done. As has been said, this editorial is not paid for, and neither will we say that it has even been suggested, but we will say that any time an out of town business goes out of town for its labor, after making money off the people of this camp, we suggest this corporation be asked to make its livelihood from whence it hires its labor. ; Bingham Canyon has a competitive institution, that as far as we know, employs only Bingham Canyon help, and why not patronize home industry? Getting back to our daily visions on Main street Did you ever notice how many Salt Lake concerns pester our local people? t Take for instance, the cleaning and dying companies. During the summer no less than seven different Salt Lake companies made trips to this camp in aa effort at get-ting business. Bingham Canyon baa. five very, good airing establish-ments, who do good workTand yet folks' would "give the out of towiTpeddTer work to do. It may be well to remember that these five tailors, as well as every other merchant in Bingham Canyon remains at his post throughout the winter, that they are ever ready to care for your wants in all kinds of weather, but can we say as much for the Salt Lake institutions? We cannot, for as soon as the snow begins to fly, and the roads are not filled with sunshine, these Salt Lakers leave us to make out the best way we can. If the business in Bingham Canyon is not worth coming after, when there is snow on the ground, surely it is not worth very much in summer. Think this over, folks, and remember that the merchants of this camp are always at your service, rain or shine, snow or no snow. Let us at least be loyal to the business men of Bingham Canyon who are loyal to us, and remember that when Murray plumbers are employed by a Murray corporation to do work in Bingham Canyon it is up to the Murray plumber to see that the Murray corporation gets plenty of business in Murray. KINDERGARTEN : TO OPEN HERE ' ' .: j ' Methodist Church, Under Direction of New Deaconess to Install School for Kiddies Under Six Years of Age. ,VV'. ' The Community Church, under the supervision of the new deaconess, ' Mrs. Anna Othiem, will open on ,' Mondfy, October 6, for the fall term, ' according to advices received from k the pastor, Rev. Samuel Mitchell. The hours for instruction for the little tots will be from 10 to 12, and school will be held five days a week, i' from Monday through Friday. This is not a new innovation nor an experiment with the Methodist church ' : as it is part of the yearly program of . the church. An invitation has been ' . extended .to the entire community to a send its children under six to attend , the only kindergarten in the canyon. The nominal cost of fifty cents per . t) month is charged to defray the ex- - pense incurred, and it is to be hoped i i that the efforts of the Community M. '". E. Church to assist the youngfr chil- - . dren of the camp will be accepted by : ' .'' the many parents who have children ; , f, ranging from four to six years of age.

The new Gemmell Memorial Club House of the Utah Copper Company will be opened with Memorial ser-vices given by Rev. Simpkins of Salt I,ake City, Monday evening at 7:30. The new edifice which has been in the course of construction for the past year, will be one of the finest club rooms in the country, beinfl equipped with everything necessary for the comfort of the workers of this great institution. Following the memorial services, an inspection of the building will be made, followed by a dance. The Club House is a memorial to R. C. Gemincll, who died about a year and a half ago, being at the time of his death General Manager of the Utah Copper, and managing director of the entire Utah Copper holdings. ASSEMBLY IS HELD The usual assembly at the Bingham High School was held Friday of last week and was opened with the sing-ing of the "Star Spangled Banner" by the student body. Robert Colyar displayed remark-able interpretive skill as a talented pianist, in his portrayal of a clown. Mr. J. B. Myers, president of the Bingham Canon Kiwanis Club then addressed the Student' Body on "Ser-vice, and What is Rendered by Ser-vice," in a clear and concise way, bringing out many fine points in his own inimitable way, much to the en-joyment of the assemblage. Miss Velma Hcywood of the fac-ulty gave several selections on the violin, which were greatly applauded and highly appreciated by the student body. CAMPBELL DRUG CO. OPEN FOR BUSINESS After waiting for the past two months for an opportunity to show the people of Bingham Canyon that he is a druggist de luxe, Jack Camp-bell, owner of the Campbell Drug Company is at last ready to care for the drug needs of the residents of this community, for today he opened his doors to the public, with one of the keenest drug stores in the state. The room, which occupies the en-tire lower floor of the New Royal Building, is finished in a light gray, to match the soda fountain fixtures. Mr. Campbell is a former resident of Springville, where he was engaged in the drug business, until 'destrbyed by fire. He is a graduate of Prince-ton, having attended this famous school when Woodrow Wilson was at its head. The new drug store will carry a complete line of Nyal remedies, as well as an up to date assortment of sundries,, not to forget Mr. Camp-- 1 bell's own line of remedies which have a nation-wid- e reputation. i OUR "HAT" AND "SHOES" There is a saying that if an English-man's hat and shoes are neat he is well dressed. The point is that these two important parts of one's wearing apparel probably are more noticeable to discerning eyes than even the suit of clothes of the wearer. It may be proof of another saying that the lit-tle things count most. We could well apply this to a city or town. Clean streets, well kept yards, substantial and freshly painted buildings in short a "tidy" muni- - cipal atmosphere will go a long way toward showing Bingham Canyon to .. the world as a progressive town. All of us owe to ourselves jn self- - , respecting citizenship, and to Bing- - ! ham Canyon as our home town to keep its "hat" and "shoes" clean. ' ATTEND GRAND JURY HEARING IN SALT LAKE Postmaster Boyd J. Barnard, Route Carrier R. I. Ferrell and Peace Offi-cer Oscar Fullmer, spent Monday and Tuesday of this week in Salt Lake City, as witnesses for the government in the dope case of J. Koulis and John Levantis," alleged to have received a package of Morphine from Greece, concealed in a book, the package be-ing delivered by the local post office officials on May 16 of this year. The two alleged members of the dope ring, were found guilty by the grand jury, and were bound over to the United States District Court. As-sistant United States District Attor-ney Morrisey handled the case for the government. TWELVE PAGES This issue of the Press-Bulleti- n contains 12 pages, the second time ,' this year that Bingham's leading paper has been forced to use an additional four pages. Proud? Yes, indeed, but only in keeping with the policy of the Press-Bulleti- n to give the people of Bing-ham Canyon the very best in a weekly newspaper. PACKAGES TO GREECE MUST BE SEALED An announcement contained in the Postal Bulletin of September 23, states that effective on October 1, 1924, parcel post packages for Greece should not be accepted for mailing by postoffice officials unless they are scaled with wax, lead, or otherwise. Parcels offered for mailing to ('recce should be carefully examined, before accepted, to see t h :i t they are properly and securely packed to with-stand the long journey and assure tlieir safe tiaiisniission to destination,, concludes the bulletin.. - - OCTOBER --." October comes again. The month of the ruby; of falling leaves; of hus- - .tie and bustle of fall business; of .' campaign promises; of Hallowe'en pranks, pumpkins and ghosts. What " . a harvest for every one who loves humanity, who sees the good in peo-ple and denies the bad; who has faith . in God, and in his country I Nature in all its autumnal glory, contributes to the bought that life is worth liv-ing after all, if we will but live it naturally, serenely, courageously.
