Districts and the number of resi-dents eligible to cast votes are as follows: 1932 1936 Dist. 337, Highland Boy 473 21b Dist. 334, Bingham 720 883 Dist. 335, Bingham 677 892 Dist. 338, Lark 226 Dist. 333, Copperton .... 250 250 Dist. 33C, Copperfield 420 In some of the districts the 1932 registration figures were not im-mediately available.

PRECIPITATES County Vote In Pounds. 137,500 votes are expected to be cast in Salt Lake county this elec-tion. In preparation 140,000 ballots were printed. It took 7V4 tons of paper for the necessary stock. And that confirms what the orators of both parties have been saying for weeks: voting is a weighty matter. If you haven't placed your elect-ion bets yet and it is not too late to suggest a formula for your use In selecting favorite, you might use this system: See how close the two men, Lan-do- n and Roosevelt, approach to the American ideal of six-fe- two-inche-prominent features, blue or light eyes and light hair. Multiply thier respective batting averages, so to speak, by the Literary Digest poll, subtract respectively Farley's and Chairman Hamilton's claims, allow for Lemke and Father Coughlln, forget all about Townsend and Earl Browder, and the answer may indi-cate who will be elected on Nov. 3. So says a New York writer. And in case this is the first time you have heard of an "ideal" in presi-dential physiques, here's some inter-esting data: Lincoln stood 6 feet 4 Inches, "with uncommon length, of arms and legs. In a head not over large, each feature was rough and prominent". He had grey eyes. - Andrew Jackson Is described as being tall, thought to be well over (I feet, of angularity and boniness with blue eyes and light colored hair. All this casting canddidates to fit a type can be carried back to the first President and Father of Our Country. "Washington," says the Internat-ional Encyclopaedia, "was 6 feet 2 inches in height, with brown hair, blue eyes, large head and hands, and strong arms." Why Policemen Have Flat Feet Stan Davies and Jack Household-er were standing together on Main street one night this week when a flustered father approached and handed them car keys his young daughter had taken from a car parked on Main street. Jack walked down Main street! and back up the other side, search-ing for a' parked car the keys would fit. After an hour or so he met Stan Bgain. "Say, I can't find the car that kid took these from." i Stan looked at the keys and gulp-ed, "Never mind looking! They're mine!" Have you ever noticed that John Stampfel answers the stock query, "How's business?" with the same answer: "Dead." Dry Fork Tunnel Work To Start Funds for resumption of work on the Dry Fork water tunnel are expected in time to begin further work there November 1. Attorney Elliott Evans met with the Town BoardWednesday night as counsel in tne V city's defense against suit ' broough by Frank Thompson, former" Bingham water-maste- r, for $3273 back salary al-leged due.

Duke of Salt Lake, owner of a building now vacant on Markham street, concerning repairs and pro-per precautions in the interests of fire prevention. .. s .

Stoke Settl&memt Clhaimces Appear Coinmpflflcatedl www- -- -- a a ft i result of agitation of a minority, and many of those affected are bit-ter about the position they had thrust upon them. One estimate is is that 90 per cent of the union members were not in sympathy with the movement. Comparison of Wage Scales 1929 1932 1936 Leyner men .. $5.25 $4.00 $5.55 Machine men .. 5.00 3.75 5.25 Muckers ...... 4.50 3.25 4.65 U. S. Mines never decreased their forces from 1929 till the present time. The wage scale at the time the strike was called is higher than the scale of 1929. Up'untU the last increase in copper, wages paid by U. S. were 50c higher than in the Butte district. At the present time it is the same as the scale used in Butte. In 1929 price of lead vari- - Labor unions as a whole are fine organizations. This paper is in sympathy with the aims of intelli-gent leaders who desire only to better conditions for the working man. But when powers of union are used by transient labor organi-zers as instruments to stir indus-trial trouble that reacts to deprive union members of he opportunity ito earn a livelihood, they are put to destructive purposes. Of the three men said to be responsible for the strike agitation in Bingham one had worked here two days, one less than a month and the other less than six months. What will the thousand strikers in Bingham, Lark and Highland Boy who have waited patiently in j hope of settlement do as their hope of settlement fades? Reliable sources report that the U. S. Mines company are prepar-ing their properties here for a shut-down. Equipment is being moved from the mine and the lower levels are filling with water. This indi-cates that company heads see no chance for immediate settlement of the strike, as reinstallment of this equipment and pumping out the water in preparation for opera-tion entail expense. Continuation of the strike means that approximately one-thir- d of the workmen (exactly 825 men) in Bingham Canyon will be forced to make one of two choices: either they will leave to hunt other em-ployment or remain here depend-ent on charity or relief work. The pitiable fact of the whole regrettable situation is that the strike was precipitated by the agi-- ; tation of a few. A cross section of i opinions of strikers and their fami-lies reveals that the strike was the ed from $6.50 to $7.50 and today, it is $4.60 per 100 pounds. Wage increases were granted September 1, 1934, and June 1,1935. And how long will it take to un-do the damages to mining and In-dustrial Utah that fhis strike has brought? Many Students Are Enrolled At U. of U. SALT LAKE CITY Over 3600 students have registered at the Uni-versity of Utah for the 1936 Fall Quarter, according to E. J. Norton, Registrar. This is a 100 increase over the 1935 mark and a 700 in-crease above the 1929 record for students enrolled. "The credit for such a marked and rapid growth lies at many sourc-es", said Mr. Norton. . "but we are attributing much of it to the rapid Increase in the registration of n and e students. From these two groups there are over 950 students registered, as compared with the approximate 900 of last year. Comparing these fig" ures with those of the past it is in-deed gratifying to realize that each county in the state of Utah is show-'i-g a marked increase in student enrollment".
