According to the best information we could find Dr. Flynn had come home that morning and built a fire to cook himself and the boys some breakfast He went up stairs to lie down for a little rest, having been out all night on an obstetrics case. It Is supposed that the fire started from the flue. It ., soon destroyed the majority of the ' furniture and fixtures in Dr. Flynn's home and also destroyed many of his ' splendid surgical instruments and sur--v gical supplies.--Th- e building was prac-ticall- y burned down, only the front walls remaining. The building was : owned by.p. A. L .Inglesby and car- - ried about $1500 Insurance. The flames spread to the two up-- , per stories , Of the Mascott building which is Owned by George Prijano-- . vich who resides in Salt Lake City.

Robbins, watermaster, started this week to laying the new cast-iro- n water pipe up Markham Gulch. About 600 feet of this six-inc- h castiron pipe will be laid up this gulch in place of the old wooden pipe which has been there for years. This new pipe will be laid in about ten days and then the pressure valve which has been near the mouth of the gulch will be moved about 600 feet up the gulch. This will give the residents along this gulch the benefit of the high pressure which the balance of the town has en-joyed in cases of fire from the Carr Fork water mains. , r ' When this work Is completed the concrete sidewalks will be laid at once. - The sidewalks will extend about 700 feet up the canyon from Main street. . -. NEW MASONIC HOME . NEARING COMPLETION '' ,.1, The new Masonic home which is being built in the upper story of the Roberts building, better known as the former home of the postoffice and the J. C. Penney store. The whole lower floor is now being occupied by the J. C. Penney company's store and the second, story which has been under-going many important changes with a handsome addition onto same will pro-vide a very commodious home for Can-yon lodge No. 18, F. & A. M. The building will cost the lodge about $16,000 when completed and will be a very fine home for the order and at the same time the revenue from the rental, Of ;the building will go into a sinking fund which will completely pay for the building in aboui ten years. All in all the lodge has put over a very fine business proposition. - ,, , hi r .. Charles R. Mabey Nominated for Governor on the Fifth Ballott.

Mrs. Julia Esgar Hurt at Bingham Canyon whan Car Coasts i Down Hill ; . While sittinsr In a ar belonging to her son-in-la- J, V. Crone, 1274 Mal-vern avenu.e, Salt Lake.Mrs. Julia E. Esgar, 72 years of age, was i the vic-tim of a peculiar accident When the car brotte loose from Its moorings and coasted down a hill, turning turtle and threw Mrs. Esgar out with such violence that a severe scalp wound and internal injuries' resulted: i The Injured woman was taken to the Bingham hospital, where late Mon-day night' it was stated that tbete was no dangerous injuries and despite the advanced age of the Injured woman she is expected to recover. The Crone party left. Salt Lake Monday morning for a pleasure ex-position and while driving along the Bingham road near the mouth Of the canyon some tempting looking ber-ries were observed and the members of the family, with the exception of Mrs: Esgar, left the machine to gather the fruit, While they were gone the accident occurred. It is thought that Mrs. Esgar did not touch the brake. The supposition is that the car broke loose and ran 'Wild down the hill until it left the road and turned over. Mr. Crone said that so far as he could learn no one saw the final crash of the car. ; ; 6WTHoj Production for First Six Months of 1920 Has Advanced, the v Report Says. - Another six months has passed in the copper industry. Beyond the buy-ing movement of January and Febru-ary, the tail-en- d of that which started last November, the copper market has been drifting aimlessly from day to day, according to the Boston News Bureau. In the first two months of this year about 300,00,000 pounds of copper were sold. This, with the pounds disposed of in Novem-ber and December of last year, brought total sales on that movement up to 750,000,000 pounds. Since then it has been ' a buyers' market. While the amount of metal contracted for In that period would ordinarily cause a slight cessation In buying for a month or two, reappear-ance of some demand should have been made long before this. Faced with such a lethararic metal market. producers are pretty generally stick-ing to the curtailment schedules in-augurated early last year. . Anaconda, however, is showing a slight expansion in production. Up to the time the I. W. W. attempted to trip up industry in Butte in April the company was producing about 18,000.-00- 0 pounds of smelter copper a month; against 13,000,000 monthly a year ago. In the first six months it produced 93,250,000, or over 13,000,000 pounds more than in the same period of 1919. Phelps Dodge and Utah, on the other hand, are 8,000,000 pounds and 11 000,000 pounds, respectively, behind last year.--' : ; Total production of twenty repre-sentative mines amounted to 648. 09'.-71- 6 pounds of blister copper In the, period ending June 30 last; in the period last year these mines produced 580,098,152 pounds, or about 68,000,000 pounds' less. The South American mines are all much ahead of 1919, Chile showing a gain of 20,000,000 pounds. With it? Latin subsidiary,' Braden, Kennecott is up 22,000,000 pounds from its 191' production pace. Output of these properties in the first six months of this year compares as follows: Pounds.

' . 4 The newly-wed- s were escorted ' to the delivery 'wagon to which was hitched the long-eare- d ' mules which are used about the Bingham Mercan-tile for heavy hauling. The animals seemed to sense the full meaning of the occasion and brayed frantically as they proceeded up Main street with two large signs on ' each side of the wagon in which were seated on the very front "Brother" Jay and his pretty new wife. Children, parents and even grandparents came to their front doors as the noisy procession moved up the canyon singing, "Here, Comes 'he Bride." Jay blushed somewhat as his old friends hurled their old shoes and pink petticoats at him but did not dare to look at his better half. How-eve- r, she proved herself a "good sport" and took the situation In very solemn-ly, vowing all the time under her breath, 'That these Mormon boys got style all the while," ' The Press-Bulleti- n Joins in bidding the young people a most hearty wel-come to our wonderful city. ttCRATS NAMEi M-(GATE-S TO STATE '''CBftlpoiii:,, The Democrats of the Bingham dis-trict held their primaries Wednesday evening of this week and a good at-tendance turned out in each precinct.

DUTY OF PICNICKERS, TOURISTS AND CAMPERS WHEN ON MOTOR TRIPS One of the delights to be enjoyed by motorists during the warm summer months is to motor out into the coun-try with a well-fille- d lunch basket and have a picnic at some shaded spot along the roadside. Every group that enjoys itself in this way has one duty to perform which should be scrupulously ob-served, says the United States Tire company. This is to make sure that all rubbish and waste paper be gathered up and hidden away So that the spot which was chosen for its loveliness will look as pretty when the party leaves as when it arrived. Near large cities where the are numerous many attractive little places look anything but attrac-tive when the motorists drive off leaving a litter of empty boxes, paper and bottles. It is equally important that campfire8 be coronletely extin-guished and that no half-burne- d or cigars cigarettes be left lying in 'the grass or leaves to start a fire that may do serious harm to property The amount of property loss due to care-lessness of this sort runs into a large annual total. "Any American wno was in the war is likely to have the lessons of propef policing so drilled into him by his ex-periences in the army that he will not need any urging to get him to clean up the debris after a picnic. One thing he learned thoroughly was to remove every slightest trace of an en-campment, and It will be hard for him to forget the lessons he learned Motorists who did not get into serv-ice ought to acquire this one habit that every man who got into uniform learned was the mark of- - a good sol-dier.
