First of all she must have fine fea-tures and a good physique. Second, she must have personality with charming manners. Thirid, an excellent character, and be a neat dresser. Fourth, able to execute household duties as well as social duties. Fifth, she must be unspoilied, ' (be) of good disposition and economic. NEW GIRLS CLUB. Strange tales are being told of a wonderful club of girls called the M. W- - C. club, which has been recently organized. It's most popular meeting place seems to be in Miss Dahleen's sewing class of the afternoon section. Strange mottos and strange doings of this mysterious club are forever seep-ing out into the eyes and ears of the rest of the curious High School stu-dents. Many students are trying to guess the name and motto of this club. Be-tween you and me I hope they will be successful but between me and the club I know they will never succeed.

SHERIFF ANNOUflCES HIS ! APPOIHTEES FDR Bill Long Expected Annnouncement Has Been Made which Makes John Knudsen Chief Deputy, Robert WeDs Lower Bingham Deputy and Joe Melich Highland Boy Deputy. At last the anxiety is over and now the people know the names of the new peace officers of Bingham "and'TEe camp. For months there had been much speculation as to who would make up the personnel of the new deputies and many wild guesses were , made, but that feature of the game is now over. John Knudsen of Copperfield is chief deputy, it had been expected by quite a number of people in the camp that he would land this plum and he got it according to expectaation. Mr. Knudsen has been In the camp for a number of years and has made good in handling his department of work for the Utah Copper company. He is a man strictly honest and adheres closely to what he believes to be right As an officer he is ever ready and possesses the requisite nerve to dis-charge ithe duties of his office. He is a man of sterling qualities and can be depended upon to govern the camp in a goodly manner. He is a veteran of Spanish-America- n war and came to Bingham from Mt. Pleasant where he served as county sheriff of Sanpete county for several terms. As a lieutenant of Chief Knudsen Robert Wells will preside over the destinies of Lower Bingham. He is an o'd time resident of Bingham and one who has met with success here, hav-ing accumulated a comfortable for-tune by close application to business.. He had been engaged in various lines of activity in the camp and for a long time had charge . of the Bingham Commercial club. He is well known in the camp and lis well prepared to handle the affairs of the office in a , rightful manner. t , , In Highland Boy ithe deputyship ' ' plum goes to Joe Melich, a prominent ' ' " merchant and business man of Pho-enix. He is also ann old timer in the camp and one who has made money here. He has extensive business here and also in other paarts of the world, being prominently connected with a corporation which was formed a year or so ago to ship farming implements to the shores of the Atlantic sea. He is a natiive of Serbia, but came to this country many years ago and is thor-oughly Americanized and speaks per- fect English. He is thoroughly con- -' versant with Highland Boy and the conditions there and is in a position to properly direct the governmental af- fairs of that portion of the camp. This in short is the main change that takes place with the change of party administrations. And owing to the peculiar location of the camp and conditions here the people have been greatly interested in who would fill the office of sheriff's deputies here. There are some who want a closed town and others who waant it open and as time paasses on the people will know what the changes mean. Bing- ham is something different from the valley towns and other cities in the state, due to some extent to the great number of nationalities who reside here and this has been held out as a reason for a wide open place. Still there are many who ithink the town has been too free and too open to meet the exigencies of the times and that a reasonable enforcement of the law should be had. The administration now in charge promised reform during the campaign, but just how far the reform measures will be carried re-main .to be seen. BIB 1 AH S MAtlY TOURISTS THIS YEAR ; Good Roads to the Canyon Make It so Tourists Wall Find Trip ; to Bingham Pleasant and Convenient Camp is Widely Known V and People from all Parts of Country Want to See the Wonderful ' Surface Mine. v . ' ' - The prospects are now very bright for Bingham to become quite a tour-ist town during (the year. The auto-mobilis-in all parts of the country i Who are now 'mapping out their trips . 'will find that Bingham is more ac-cessible than ever( berore because of the good roads which it has not had 'heretofore. '. And this is a splendid year to visit he great copper camp and the atten tion of tourists, should be directed to this fact because the presence of a few thousand tourists here during the spring and summer months would be of great advantage to all lines of busi-ness in the camp." ' Bingham is perhaps the best known town in the state outside of Salt Iake City to people of other states. They have heard of the wonder mining camp where a great mountain is being literally torn up and hauled away to the smelters and they want to see it. It is something out of the ordinary and the visitor who comes to Bingham sees something more wonderful and more startling than the one who goes to the much advertised Zion's canyon or Bryce's canyon. At both the latter places they see canyons, but there are canyons and parks in all parts of the world. Bingham is exclusive. It has something different from any other town In the world In its great surface mine, in Its long, narrow,.-windin- g street and its magnificent scenery. This year many tourists will see the camp and the public-spir-it peo-t- t here, should make every Effort to Urain' the visitors and thus rake itynoM'attractive to the buriTt .

Arrange-ments should be mafte so that tourists would not simply drive through the camp, take a look at the blasting on the copper hill, but they should be so handled that they would stop over for a night or put In a few hours fn tak-ing in the town Wself. This would impress them with the fact that real people inhabited the camp and that there is nothing to fear In stopping over for a day, a week, or a month. Now is the time when ithe town should take some action to let the peoplo in other sections know how easily the camp can be reached and how" well visitors will be cared for while here. EDITH . KLOPENSTINE LAID TO REST BY . LOVING FRIENDS ffk , J J v ' ' - 1 C' ' One of the Bad" events In the history oi,,tW city was. the deathvlast gatur :day snowing" of ils-Edit- h Mr.'.and Mrs., iM. J. Klopeastine pioneer settlers in Bing-ham and one of the leading families of Upper Bingham. Miss Klopenstine was a teacher by profession and has taught in the Binguam schools. She underwent an operation recently at the Bingham hospital for appendi-citis and never recovered. Just be-fore the operation Bhe had been teaching in the schools of Pocatello for the past two years. I Miss Klopenstine was a graduate of the University of Utah and was a teacher of much ability. She taught in the schools of Ogden, Salt Lake City, Pocatello and several other places. She is survived by three brothers and two sisters and her dear mother. The funeral service was held Wed-nesday afternoon at the Catholic church and Father O'Connor presided. Soloa were rendered by Mrs. J. B. Myers and Mrs. Marshall Gibson. Many beautiful floral offerings showed the esteem in which the de-- . ceased was held by her many friends in Bingham where she spent many 'years of her promising young life. .Miss Klopenstine was a kind-hearte- d generous spirited woman who did much for those with whom she asso-ciated from time to time. She has done much toward looking after her brother, Mike, who has been sick for a year and a half. An automobile cortege followed the remains to their last resting place. Interment was made in the Bingham cemetery. UTAH COPPER HAS DONE MUCH BUILDING RECENTLY One of the things which look for the camp is the expensive building cam-paign which has been carried on by the Utah Copper company during the past year. This means that the com-pany Is getting ready to house proper-ly its thousands of workers when the price of metal rises to a point where mining canNbe carried on with good profits. V During the past year the Utah Cop-per has purchased much real estate in the camp, it is said, and will have everything in readiness for tthe next big ruch. It has the ore in almost in-exhaustible quantities and It has the facilities for mining it and it will take a long, long time to extract the ore which is now in slight. Therefore during the quiet season the company has acquired much valu-able land in the camp and has erected a number of useful buildings to be used by its men when necessity re-quires. So while Bingham has been quiet for two years this does not mean it is like Mercur and other camps whicv have been worked out and deserted but it is only a temporary lull and it will come back again just as soon as the metal market becomes normal and all the houses in the camp will again be filled. with people and the camp is destined to become greater and more active tl5n ever before. ..Those who stay on the job and stick it out will reap a rich harvest SENATC3 II. N. STANDISH'S DAUCJTER DIED "ZLCBKTLY.' Elra. ImCj .DUfcfiKh . Ri4ards, 40 i.r of "!ac!Ss$ V" .i.at her lfme 349 Paxtoa avenue, Tuesday. Khe was iborn in Bingham and waa'the daug-hter of State Senator-elec- t Henry N. Standish of Bingham. She had lived in Salt Lake twentyvwo years. She is survived by her husband, three chil-dren, two sisters, Mrs. E. M. Norris and Mrs. G. H. Moore, and four broth-ers. The body is at the O'Donnell & Co. funeral parlors. Funeral services v ill be held at the Thirtieth ward chapel from 1 until 2 o'clock the after-noon of the funeral. Interment will be in City cemetery. BINGHAM STRAY ANT-LERS ELECT NEW OFFICERS The Bingham Stray Antlers associa-tion, one of the most active and ef-ficient organizations in the camp, at its last meeting elected officers for the ensuing year who are as follows: President, T. B. Stevens; vice presi dent. Earl Nepple; secretary, C. E. Carey, and trustee for eighteen months, Joe Waters. The officers are all splendid men and for some time have been rendering splendid service for the association and for the people of the camp. The association starts off the new new year in fine shape and should en-Jo-another year of success. JOHN STUBBS LAID TO FINAL JIEST TUESDAY John Stubbs an old timer in Bing-ham died in Salt La?.e City on January the first of cancer of the stomach. He was about 50 years of age and leaves a wife and two children. He has been employed for many years by the Utah Copper company ana was well known by the employeees of that company. Bishop J. A. Wright had charge of the funeral which was held at O'Donnell's chapel. Miss Phoebe Masters sang a solo and many beautiful floral offer-ings were presented by friends and relatives. Interment was made in the Bingham cemetery. BIG DEMOCRATIC BALL WILL BE HELD SAT-URDA- Y EVE. The Precinct Committee of the Democratic party of Bingham will give a ball in the former Commercial club hall Saturday evening, January 8th. The Democrats and the public who desire to attend are cordially invited. This is commonly known as Jackson Day or the day he captured New Orleans. BINGHAM ELKS COM-MENDED FOR SPLENDID li That the local organization of Elks known as the Bingham Stray Antlers association is a live body and doing excellent work is evidenced by a first page comment in "Th Bulletin," the official publication of the Salt Lake City Lodge No. 85 B. P. O. E. which In its Issue of January 1st said: "Too much credit cannot be given to the members of the Bingham Stray Antlers .association,, and the Cerves Alces club of Tooele, Utah, for the ex-ceedingly large amount of charity work done by these two organizations. Both clubs are made up mostly of members of our Lodge, and are abso-lutely financed by their own eefforts. In bo:h instances not a worthy poor family was overlooked at Christmas time, and in many cases continued help is needed from them." JUVENILES TO BE LOOKED AFTER The Town board at their meeting Wednesday evening Informally dis-cussed the question of the juveniles of Bingham and decided to look after them betterthan in the past. There has been a great deal of trouble with petty crimes and offenses being com-mitted by these youngsters and (the police lack the power to handle them because they are under age. The Town board will ask that the Juvenile Commission of Utah appoint a truant officer for Bingham and that the Juvenile Judge come to Bingham at least once or twice each month to hear cases arising here. SENATOR WOULD CHANGE TIME FOR INAUGURATION With an administration and a con-gress marking time for four months, at great expense, until the new regime is inaugurated, there is increasing sentiment in favor of an earlier in-stallation of a newly elected presi-dent and of a new congress. The Judiciary committee of the senate now has before it the Ashurst resolution proposing a constitutional amendment providing that the presi-dential term shall commence on the third Monday of January following an election; that the presidential elect-ors shall cast their votes on the sec-ond Monday in December; that con-gress shall canvass the vote on the second Monday of ajnuary, and that the terms of senators and representa-tives shall begin on the first Monday of January. The amendment empowers congress to change these dates in its discre-tion, and provides that it shall not take effect until after .March 4, 1925. If this proposed amendment should be adopted without change the presi-dent elected in 1928 would take office two and a half, instead of four, months, and the new congress two, in-stead of thirteen, months after the election, and the presidential vote would be canvassed by the incoming instead of the outgoing congress. UTAH REPRESENTATIVES ARE NOT PROPERLY APPORTIONED Membership Ratio Out of Proportion to Assessed Valuation and Popula tion. Reapportionment Involves Difficult Problem of Dedistricting of the State. Representation in the legislature of the state of Utah, to convene January 10, varies for the citizen according to geographic location. If he lives in Daggett county, he has representation of the ratio of 1 to 400; in Sanpete county, 1 to 9,000, ana in Boxelder county, 1 to 18,000, approximately. Sanpete county; with a population, according to the latest federal census of 17,505, has two representatives and one senator in the state legislature. Boxelder county, with almost 1,300 more population than Sanpete, 18,788, has only one representative, while Tooele county's 7,965 of population is added to Boxelder county to make the First senatorial district. The single Boxelder representative in the house votes for 4.14 per cent of the state's population, and represents taxpayers who contribute 5.55 per cent of the state's revenue. Two men are elected to represent the 3.86 per cent of the state's population and the 2.41 per cent of the state's assess-ed valuation found in Sanpete county. Cache Three Members. Cache county has 26,992 population, or 5.96 per cent of the population, and 5.31 per cent of the assessed valua-tion, of the state, being less wealthy than Boxelder. But Cache has three representatives and Is the only county In the Second senatorial district. If Boxelder had two members in the state's lower house, each might be said to represent 9,394 persons, where-as each of the three Cache county representatives may be said to repre-sent 8,997 persons. Among the counties that have more than one representative in the lower house, Sanpete has one to every 8,753 of population, Cache has one to every 8,997, Utah county has one to every 10,198, Weber county has one to every 10,866 of population and Salt Lake one to every 15,928. BINGHAM LIBRARY IS GROWINGINPOPULARITY A noticeable feature of the reading public, especially among the young people and the students, Is the popu-larity of the Bingham free library. It Is now an established 'institution and Is affording much pleasure and bene-fit to the camp. Since it was opened it has' grown rapidly and now it Is stocked with a large number of valu-able books. And the books are being read by many people and is doing much good In extending knowledge. It took along time and much hard work to get the library sitarted and .. one of the pioneer workers was B. E. Willis, formerly manager of the local ' branch of the J. C. Penney company. Mr. Willis commenced the work in. 1917 and at that time it was difficult to create much interest, but he kept working and through the of The Press-Bulleti- public attention was called to the great need of such an Institution. And from this start the work was kept up and was estab-lished last year shortly after Mr. Wil-lis left Bingham for his new place of business in Illinois. SILVER SHIELD IS ACTIVE ON MINING EXCHANGE The Silver Shield mine continues quite active on the Salt Lake stock ex-change, with considerable fluctuations.1 Ever since this mine ran into some rich bodies of ore more than a year ago It 'has attracted considerable at-- 1 temtlon, and the trading in its stock; has been very active. Much of the stock of this mine is owned locally and therefore the market changes of the Silver Shield are always matters of interest to Bingham people. TOWN AND COUNTY MIGHT GET TOGETHER With the change in administra-tion the town of Bingham and the county of Salt Lake, if they tried, might get together and salvage a lit-tle rent. Both the town and the coun-ty formerly used the town hall for official matters, but for the past two years they have used separate offices and separate court rooms. The town hall is ample for all purposes of both sets of officers and it would facilitate matters should the county officers take up quarters with' the city fath-ers. The court room of the town hall Is by far the best place for holding court for both county and municipal matters. . POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSIT8. Bingham still holds a high place in the potofflces of the state in the matter of postal deposits. At the close of the year the deposits at the post-offic- e here amounted to over $190,000. .'During the year some war savings stamps, were sold and also a consider-able portion of stamps were cashed. There is only one bank in the camp which has more deposits than the post-offic- e and that one has but a small advantage of the postal savings. What Star Gazers Lack.
