Mr. Quinn has managed the affairs of the Bingham schools in splendid fashion as far as we can learn but of course there would be some. opposition to a man who has been in office as long as be has. However, it might bt stated that he has secured quite a number of improvements for the schools of the camp since he went on the board of education. If we are no! mistaken more than $10),000 has been expended in the way of improvement'-an-for new buildings and ground since his term as school trustee. uocno GIVE A BIG BAZAAR (By J. C. Green.)

They are the ones who have made this country, because they were the first to start it in its progression. We first find them coming here in the Mayflower, to a barren desert coun-try.. They built rude huts which have been improved and are being im-proved, up to the present time, until we have our mansions, but we can say that the Pilgrims were the begin-ners of the art of housebuilding in this country. After they had founded their homes, thsy cultivated the soil and planted their crops. Some of them had flour-ishing crops but as they, had only primitive methods, their progress was rather slow. The Indians raised only a small quantity of corn and knew practically nothine about other and as they were the only ones over here before the Pilgrims, we may say that the Pilgrims were the fathers of agriculture. The Pilgrims also started to teach their children as much as they could find time for, and we are still ad-vancing in education, but we can say that the Pilgrims helped to promote education, for which we are still striv-ing. Some of the Pilgrims were in-ventors. They contributed much to the country when the printing press and the cotton gin, the plow and other rude Implements were invented. This was only a beginning, but it gave greater ideas to later generations and now we have some of the most won-derful inventions, but we can say that a great: many of our most useful in-ventions originated from small things made by our Pilgrim fathers. Some of the Pilgrims were great orators and great leaders. Many were religious workers and promoted the growth of our churches, as this was one of their main causes for coming here. v .. - -. .' . r Some of them helped to found our constitution and the greatest thing they did was to fight for it and pre- - V; o,--. fre. country tor the, erattoiirth&t wsr to fpUcy:'.,.. ; STORY ON SLANG. ... ... ...... ' i (By Nan Bamache.) As we was along the street, being mighty Interested In the line o' gab one of the saps was off, I was almost run over by a lizzy owner. ' "Well," said the sap, "how we goin' to rob the old gink's house when he's got a line o cops and birds hanging round watchin' so as no crook or ama-teur could try to bust a window an' gallavant through the house to steal a pile o' his kale?" "Yah," said I. "Hes got his old hay-seed- y grandkid up from the farm to sit by old ironsides. But never mind, we'll bounce him on de dome and let him hear the birds sing for an hour or two." That night at twelve we was all sittin' at the corner crap shootin' par-lor, ready --for de grand break dat would let us sleep in for an hour and den jazz 'round town to all da swell eatin' Jouns. "Well," said the sap, "has anyone of you ginks got anythin I kin have a swig of?" "I sure got some here thats got a kick like an army mule let free for a day." ; We all had a touch down around and den started on de way to de place where we was to lamp some berrier, to keep up in ease for awhile. "I can sure rattle sofne bones to my girl tomorrow," said Sappy. We had one sis w;iac spoiled de game. He sure was nuts. Why, he got cold feet before de rest of us could bat an eye. But we canned him and went on about de business of de house. We somehow give de cops de slip and went into de house. Who should we meet but .dis here seed from irarna'r, arms from down somewhere on dp farm. Dat boy sure made us scatter and he lamped me a peachy right on de dome. When I woke up I was stripes. Believe me, any kid wid a swing in his rich t like dat ought to be a sure goodfighter. (Continued on page four) BP mm Bingham 'Mining Companies have a vexing problem before them a the cost of suspending operations Is greater than to continue present force and operate, at a slight loss. . A vexing problem confronts the large copper producers whether to curtail output still more and thus fur-ther increase the unit cost of output or shut down altogether, says the Bos-ton News Bureau. The latter also is a costly procedure. . - , Many producers would like to cease operations at once were it not for the, difficulties attending resumption and the heavy cost of idleness. Many of them must In any event keep a force of surface and underground men at work in the upkeep of the property. Pumps must be kept in operation and drifts and level openings must not De allowed to fill or cave. Mining managements do not relish looking at red ink figures month after month. They are getting pretty close to the point where drastic action is im-perative. We violate no confidence when we say that the biggest men in the copper producing industry believe that only a complete stoniing of pro-duction can cure the situation. No one of them, however, wants to lead off. , - - Somewhere between 60 per cent and 70 per cent of the c- -t of producing copper is consumed by wagss. The --v miners ar being.pald.theamo scale ' . as where" copper was selling at 26 cents. Today the metal is unsalable in quantity at 13 cents, but no re-duction of wages has been put into general effect. Consequently, the cost of ""making" copper is very high so high, in fact, that it precludes all pro-fit in the business. There are a few isolated cases where a small balance over operating expenses can be shown, but these are far outweighed by the larger number showing big losses. This condition of affairs cannot last much longer. There is a limit beyond which further operating losses cannot be taken, beyond which further accu-mulations of metal cannot be financed, and that limit is close at hand. We have made some investigations to ascertain the status of the copper consuming demand in this country. We can make the statement that at the present time the brass industry is not employing over 33 3 per cent of its capacity. Prices of brass products have shown radical recessions in the , past few weeks, commensurate with the drop in copper and zinc. A reduc- - . tion of between 3 cents and 4 cents a pound has been named by the brass producers in the last few weeks. There has, of course, been heavy re-duction in working forces in the brass making industry as well as heavy cur- - in working hours. same story in copper as in Itailment The ultimate con-- . not buying and adverse for-- ! elgn exchanges preclude the normal t export outlet WINTER CARE OF AUTO-- f MOBILES EXPLAINED ARTICLE NO. 2. Geffen.) Following the article last week; on g solutions for the auto-mobile, this article will deal with the care of the storage battery during the cold weather. The storage battery is sometimes called the mystery box be-cause the manufacturing concerns have been reiuctant about giving out information concerning them. It is in-teresting to know, however, that this box, measuring 9 by 7 by 12 inches and weighing about 63 pounds, has enough electric energy stored up in itself to raise its own weight to a height of six miles and to develop two horsepower when cranking a stiff engine. It is indispensable, especially in starting the engine.on cold Jnornings with our present-da- low; quality of . gasoline. It is therefore worth while to take hydrometer readings at least once a week to ascertain the strength of the battery. If this reading indicates 1.175 or below the battery is run down and will freeze at zero. When a battery freezes it will likely expand and break and it will also ruin the battery. Therefore if "this reading is indicated the battery should be charged at once so that the hydrometer will read 1.775. At this reading the battery will not freeze until 80 degrees below zero is reached. Therefore to be secure against freezing keep the battery fully charged.' When a car is stored away during the winter, the engine should be run once a month until the battery is fully charged. If this cannot be done the battery should be taken to a reliable garage where it will be kept at full charge until it is to 'be used again. : PEOPLE OF OUR TOWN f i , Behold the Classy Loafer with a Fu-migating Fag pasted to his Lower Lip, waiting for a Good Job to Turn Up, when he Is going to Blow this Hick Town.

The graduates of the local hig'.i school are admitted equally with those from the Sandy high school in this district or other state high schools. Into the colleges of this or any other state. No graduate from this school in-th-e last three years has been refused en trance to any higher school in the United States because of the credit? of this high school; on the7 other hand sevoral students have entered some of the best higher schools of this c:!ate and the east without question concerning the credits of this school. This'assertion was made over the signature of the president of the Jor-dan school board. W. W. Wilson, and the superintendent of the local high school, D. C. Jenson. BINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL TEAM LOOSES The Bingham High school basket-ball team made a good showing against their superior opponents Wed-nesday evening in the nigh, school fvmnaslum. Thev were greatly out-- weighed and d by their larger opponents. The high school showed speed and agility in handling and passing the ball and while they need considerable practice they have the making of a fast basketball team this season. The final score was 36 to 12, but this should be expected from such experts as the Utah Athletic club of Salt Lake City. The first half ended with the 'ocals on the short end of a 20 to 6 score, Stillman, left forward, was the only local boy who could locate the hopp consistently. Thomas played a good game for the Blnghamites. The Bingham lineup was as follows: Stillman, rf; Williams, rf; Thomas, c; Turner, lg; Dahlstrom, rg'r Knudsen, lg; Geffan, lg; Chiara, rg; Marriott, rf.

They owned a tailor, shop and hotel where the Woodrihg drug store now stands. Mr. Olson was also a miner of some note and prospected about the hills of . Bingham. Several . minin? claims are still owned by the heirs of the Olsons and one distinct, group up Markham, known as the "Sweden property," belongs to Mrs.' Olson at the time of her death. They lived here until about fifteen years ago, when they moved to Salt Lase City. ; SILVER SHIELD GIVEN H0N0R- -' ABLE MENTION IN MET i LETTER i - J A 30 per cent advance in the market I price attracted " attention to Silver f " Shield last week. It appeared that a prospect drift on the tunnel level had !... opened a vein about 200 feet south of i ' the old Miracle stope, where a splen-- , did shoot of high-grad- e ore faulted and was lot, says the latest market j letter of Charles A. Stoneham & Co. ' The new discovery consists of five feet of vein matter of which two and one-hal- f feet is shipping ore running high in silver, lead and zinc. The fis- - ' sure is being followed and is expected to lead to something bigger and bet-ter. There are said to be good ore showings in three other places in the ' mine. One ot the best is in the drift at the top of the raise on the bacK i vein. This drift has only a little way to go to connect with a winze from ; the Snowstorm tunnel. The winze was ' put down on a streak of ore phenomu- - ,j nally rich In silver and gold. The !' ' same grade of ore has been found in J ' the drift from the tunnel raise.
