Evans would have easily stood among the top rank-ing few. In colorful Galena Days costumes and with Lorraine Caulfield, the much admired "Miss Galena", inviting all to Bingham Canyon September 19 and 2U, the local contingent found it easy to make scores of new friends. The accordion mu-sic of Lawrence and Billy Pino, who accompanied Jaycees to Cedar City, made a hit with all attending the three-day- s' session. Binghamites were pleased that their candidate for officet Park-er Gray, was elected first vice president. The group also won permanent possession of the Val Hicks traveling trophy wtih a total of 20,000 .man miles travel-ed to visit Jaycee groups over the state the past year. In quest of the trophy Utah Jaycees trav-eled approximately 127,000 miles during 1941. Bingham won the coveted tro-phy for outstanding single pro-ject of the year for 1940 Galena Days. Honorable mention was given Bingham for their Amer-icanism project. Bingham Canyon was nomin-ated for convention city in 1942 and received a number of votes even though the local Jaycees asked that the nomination be withdrawn. Salt Lake City was awarded the convention and plans are being made by Jaycees of the capitol city to take those attending the convention next year to Bingham Canyon to spend an afternoon and evening. President Evans served as chairman of the resolution com-mittee; Elmo A. Nelson was a member of the credentials com-mittee and Leland G. Bun-es- s was on the awards committee at the convention.

OLD ESTABLISHMENT CEASES BUSINESS (Contributed) Friday, August 29, ledgers of the Citizen's Coal and Supply company, the third oldest busi-ness institution of Bingham Can-yon, only the Bingham Bulletin and Bingham Mercantile com-pany were founded earlier, were closed for the final time. In 1905 two well-know- n busi-ness men, Harry Brownlee and Charles Cottington, became part-ners in what soon became a thri-ving business. After a few years Mr. Cottington sold his interest to A. T. Williams. In 1912 Archie Stuart became a third partner. Two years later Mr. Williams left the firm. In 1920 Mr. Stuart left the company and in April of the same year Art J. Soren-so- n bought an interest. Mr. Brownlee and Mr. Soren-so- n continued in their partner-ship until 1940 when Mr. Soren-so- n became sole owner follow-ing Mr. Brownlee's death. The site of Citizen's Coal and Supply company at 40 Main street, recently purchased by the Utah Copper company, has un-dergone many changes. At one time two large barns to care for 42 horses, sheds for 12 wagons and a number of sleighs, coal bins and a large ice house were needed by the company. Prior to prohibition the ware-houses held hundreds of barrels of beer and liquors. At one time from 12 to 15 men were employ-ed by the concern. r LAST RITES HELD FOR LOUIE DAI PRA Funeral services were held Saturday morning at the Holy Rosary Catholic church by the Rev. Daniel E. Leahy for Louie Dai Pra, 45, of Copperfield, who died August 27 of coronary thrombosis.

ONE FOR RIPLEY Back at work Tuesday follow-ing a two-wee- k vacation in the northwest, Canada and California, B. A. Hocking at the Bingham Merc, tells friends of an amus-ing coincidence. In Victoria, B. C, he saw a sign on a busi-ness house "Hocking and Forb-es, Sporting Goods". He went in and introduced himself to the proprietor, one "Ross Hocking". The Mr.' Hocking from Bingham told the Canadian that he had a brother named Ross Hocking and the following dialogue took place: "Well, my name is really Ros-we- ll Hocking; I was named for a town in New Mexico." "My brother's name is really Roswell. He was named for the same town." "My family came from Wis-consin. My father was originally from Cornwall, England." B. A. Hocking could match that one, too. "My father, John Hocking, went to Bingham Can-yon from Wisconsin. He was a native of Cornwall, England." To make things even more in-teresting, there was a marked resemblance between B. A. Hock-ing's son, Bert Hocking Jr., and the Ross Hocking of Victoria. AS far as the two Mr. Hockings could ascertain, there is no re-lationship. With Mr. Hocking on the vaca-tion tour besides his son were Mrs. B. A- - Hocking and Miss Venus Anderson of Sandy. They went to Grand Coulee dam, came down the coast to San Francisco and Los Angeles. They stopped at Lake Tahoe on the way home.
