Work IlMready SUrted on Site Formerly Occupied by Livery Stable. Second Floor to Have Eight Modern Apartment. Harry M. Steele, focal transfer and livery proprietor submitted the low-est figure to Uncle 3am for new postoffice site, and his figures were ac-cepted according to Ivord received here Thursday of last week by Post Master Boyd J. Bar&rd. . - The new building will occupy the site formerly used by Mr. Steele's stables, is locate a J 1 Main street, and according to Mr. Steele, will oc-cupy the entire lot, Onaking the building, when completed, approximately 50 by 80 feet-,- ; (U . i Although at tbisJ'He 1,0 definite plana have been released by the pos-tal authorities t Wellington, it is understood that the new edifice will be one of the finest crp& class postoffices in the country, every interior de-tail being of the latest; model. A feature of theSiew post office will be the loading and unloading of the mail from the rear of the building, a driveway running on the south side of the building m the back of the structure. The new building will be steam heated, with the latest lighting devices, and will contain btrglar proof vault. Plans for the interior of the new building are expected to arrive from postal headquarters ift Washington any day, but as they will contain only the interior part of tt building, Mr. Steele is rushing the work along, get-tin- s rid of his barn. and getting ready for the laying of the foundation. According to Mr. Steele, the build-ing vill be absolute! fireproof, and no expense will be spared to make it one of the real buildijjgs of Bingham Cany or "..,.;. J ,. - ',"'..

ROAD CLEARED OFPDRIFTS Tractors Succeed in Opening Bing-ham-Sa- lt Lake Road for Traveling Public. ........ "What is fair for the Goose is also fair for the Gander," says an old ad-age, and with that in mind a few words must be said concerning the efficient work of the county commis-sioners during the past week in get-ting the Bingham Canyon-Sal- t Lake highway open for travel. With a large' crew of men, and a tractor, the county, during the past week, has been going full blast, with the result that by Tuesday of this week the road was cleared of all snow, and once more it is in fit shape for the traveling public. It has been said that the road 'will be kept open during the rest of the winter, and it has been stated that a tractor will be kept at this end f the county to care for any other .Irifts that may come along and blocic up the highway. The county commissioners arc to be congratulated upon their achieve-ment, upon their desire to allow the people of Bingham Canyon to come and go as they see fit. . ' When it is all said and done, Bing-ham Canyon is entitled to an open road leading out of the canyon to Salt Lake City, for what would Salt Lake City do without this town that, as records show; is the potent factor in the county? , Let the roads be kept open, and once more let us congratulate the county commissioners upon their no-ble effort, and it is to be hoped that from now on until spring the people of the camp will be able to drive their cars to and from the Utah metrop-olis without danger of getting stalled in a snow drift on the Bingham Can-yon highway. ; ELIGIBILITY IS -- QUESTION ASKED Can an Athlete Accept Money in One Branch of Sport and be Allowed to ' Play in Another? What- - constitutes a professional? What does a high school student have to do to be a professional? How far doe a student have to go to be called a professional? .These are the three questions that arose Friday evening of last week, when Gordon Camp-bell," alias Jackie Gordon, erstwhile professional prize fighter, took the floor as forward for the Murray team against the Bingham High School quintet. Jackie Gordon, known to every fight fan in the state as a professional boxer declares, and so does the Mur-ray coach that he is elegible to com-pete in high school athletics, and has been given an eligibility card. Mr. Gordon Campbell, is without doubt a professional at boxing, and the way local fans interpret the rules on elig-ibility any player accepting money is a professional, and as such is NOT eligible to compete in high school athletics. When asked concerning the status of Jackie Gordon, President James Moss, of the Utah High School Ath-letic association during a telephone conversation stated that as far as he knew, Jackie Gordon was eligible,! that his case had been threshed out, and the fact that he did box for mon-ey had nothing to do with his play-ing high school basketball. Another instance, concerning the case of Stribling, the boy boxer of Atlanta, Ga., wherein the association in that state held him ineligible, was cited to Mr. Ross, but he declared that Mr. Campbell would be allowed to play as it was decreed so, and that was alt there was to it. Mr. Moss stated that a meeting of the Board of Control would be held during the latter part of Mafth and the matter of professionalism would be taken up at that time. Of course the meeting of the Board of Control .wsMwrtby - mb---- this time it has nothing to do with the allowing of Jackie Gordon, the pro-fessional prize fighter to play ama-teur basketball with the Murray quin-tet against players who are 100 per cent amateurs. rSlBSlI7 WFORMERS Bingham Merc . to Give , Bradley Sweater to Most Valuable Player On Team. Much Interest I "'Shown.'' " lvry ' v'"' ' Who is the most valuable player on the first team of the Bingham High school basketball team? 'The Bingham Mercantile wants to know, and will donate a classy , Bradley sweater to the member chosen by an unknown committee of three men, who will be the sole judges. . .When it is known that the Bradley sweater is one of the finest 0a the market today, that they are used by all clubs of the National and Ameri-can league baseball teams, that Yale, Harvard, Columbia, and many other cotleges use this sweater from time to time, it is readily seen that the sweater is well worth trying for. Not only must the winner be the most valuable player on the team, but his school work must be above passing grades, he must qualify in all his classes, show the proper attitude at sclool, and his deportment must be above par. His attitude toward keeping fit is also listed as one of the stipulations, and his conduct off the floor will be watched as well as when playing a game. It is not the question of who makes the most points, that will determine the most valuable player, as the oth-er players may be the one instrumen-tal in the ether fellows making the points. This point is well illustrated in a similar contest which was held for a high school football squad. The squad included the first and second string men. It was natural thatSnost of the players figured that the star of the firsf team, the forward passer, the plunger, the yard gainer was a cinch to win the coveted sweater, but the judges had another way of look' ing at things. . The prize was award-ed to a second string man because he was the hardest man to pass in the line, because it was through his ef- - at smashing the line, 'and much to the chagrin of the older lads, this young fellow was given the beautiful sweat-er. Thus it is seen that when the Bingham Merc, asked the judges to pick out the most valuable player on the Bingham high team it did not want to know who was the biggest score maker, but the MOST VALU-ABLE PLAYER. The beautiful Bradley sweater, which will soon be on display at the Bingham Merc, is white with a blue monogram. Remember that to be awarded this wonderful Bradley sweater the mem-ber of the Bingham High School Basketball team must be , ., . 1. The most valuable member of the team. 2. He must be well up in his school work. 3. He must take care of himself and be in perfect physical condition. 4. He must show the proper atti-tude at school 5. He must be a gentleman at all times, both off the floor and on. 6. He must also show the proper attitude toward his team mates.

Playing with a snap that bodea ill for the rest of the teams of the dis-trict, the Bingham lads made easy, work of their smelter adversaries, out- - guarding them, in fact them at every angle of the game. . A feature, as well as a surprise to-th-local fans was the appearance of " Walter Rimby in a blue and white uniform.

Mr. Bachman, who is at the head of the metals and mines department of the General Electric Company at Salt Lake City, opened the- - program with a clever talk on "Electric Shovels," illustrating his talk with lantern slides. " Mr. Plumb, Engineer of the Gen-eral Electric Company, spoke on "Radio Communication," and that his talk was appreciated was made mani-fest when he told his listeners he must stop, and the many shouts of "No" filled the room. Mr. Plumb, who has been heard here before, is not only a brilliant speaker, but ha that knack of making his listeners un-derstand him, no. matter how tech-nical his talk. ' Hia .talk explaining the fundamcn-tal- s of radio was clear arid concise and those who failed to. grasp the cause of sound transmission ; must blame themselves only, as even a child could have followed this clever speaker. After his discourse, Mr. Plumb answered many questions con-cerning radio. , , . .., Following ical program, a dance was held with music by the Imperials. RETURNS HOME Mr. Arthur M.

Roscoe Sorenson and his tribe of basketball players representing the Utah Copper won an easy league game from the Arthur team, 48 to 30, at the Gemmell Memorial gym on Thursday evening of last week. . The Copper lads were masters of the situation from the opening whis-tle, the Arthur team trailing behind from the start, and never became dan-gerous at any time. " Every time the visitors managed to cage a basket, the Copper came back with two more. ' The game was witnessed by a huge crowd, and was "exceptionally clean, with Arthur making five fouls, and Copper 8. " '" . Pete Dow finally came into his own during this game, caging 7 field goals, and playing a wonderful floor game. Pete has been in a slump since the start of the season, and his many ad-mirers will be delighted to know that last Thursday evening he played in his oT3 time form, i Much is expected from Dow, and that he will prove the trust was shown in the Arthur game He hasn't an equal in the league al following up his throws, which makei him-on- e of the'mOsTTlangerous mer s in the district. ... Jerry Dunn was another player who finally showed a little of his last year's form. Jerry has been slow getting in-to condition this year but his work last Thursday showed him to be fast rounding into shape. Whiteley, as usual managed to make his allotment of 6 field goals, The first quarter ended with Copper leading 12 to 6, although Arthur brac-ed in the second period, and made 9 while the home team made 7. The half ended with Copper leading 19 to 15. It was in the last two periods that the Copper showed their greatest work, making 13 in the third quarter, as to 9 for Arthur, and then register-ed 16 in the last session, while 6 was the best the visitors could do.. t.'

"' A careful research of the figures shows the Apex leading the Copper team in points scored by a field goal, the underground men having made 122 points thus far as to 121 for the Copper. Both teams have made 54 baskets in the three games for an average of 18 baskets per game.
