FRAZIER YAMPA RIVER FILMS SHOWN AT FAIR Free showing dally of the Des-er- et Newa-Frazl- er Yampa river expedition pictures at the Utah State Fair in Salt Lake City proved last week to be one of the most popular of the attrac-tions at the fair. Many in Bingham Canyon had the opportunity to see these films at club and organization meetings when Dr. R. G. Frazier exhibited them. Those who miss-ed their chance at such times were quick to take advantage of the four showings a day at the fair, along with hundreds of persons from all over the state.

FRAZIER - STONE BACK FROM TRIP Find Early Date On Glen Canyon Walls On Colo-rad- o River Dr. R. Q. Crazier und Prank Swain, who lead a party includ-ing Julius F. Stone, 84-ye- old financier of Columbus, Ohio, who made his first trip down the Colorado in 1909, his son George, Columbus, Ohio, banker, William Chryst, Dayton, Ohio, Industrial-ist, and Dr. A, L. Inglesby and Charles Kelly of Salt Lake City, down the Colorado river from Hite, Utah, to Lee's Ferry, returned to Bingham Sunday eve-ning. Dr. Frazier reported the flnd-Inl- g of several important Inscrip-tions and dates on the walls of the canyon. During the past year Dr. Frazier had heard pros-pectors In the region of the canyon tell of finding dates and inscriptions made In 1634 by Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, who was shipwrecked off the Florida coast and' later went across country westward to low-er California. Although the Frailer-Ston- o party were unable to find these inscriptions they did find one which may prove equally im-portant. In Glen Canyon they found a date, 1642, chiseled In letters about six inches high. Near this Inscription a rock and dirt slide had covered the wall, making it impossible for them to search for names, MY. Stone remarked that he may finance the work necessary to remove this elide and look for Inscriptions where that of de Vaca was reported. In all history books the earliest re-corded coming of a white man Into Utah north of the Colorado river Is the exploration of in 1776. Don Lopez de Cardenas, a lieutenant In the Corouado ex-pedition, is known to have seen the Grand Canyon of the Colo-rado as early as 1540. There is no proof, however, of an actual exploration until more than 200 years later, in 1776, when Fath-er Escalante, a Catholic mis-sionary, crossed the Colorado ri-ver In the vicinity of Padre creek. The Frazier-Ston- e party placed a bronze plaque at Padre creek, proven last year by Dr. Frazier as being the spot where Father Escalante crossed the Pftlm-flri- InutonH nt at ITunu creek as recorded in history books. The steps hacked in the stone canyon walls show how the party reached the bottom of the canyon, Dr. Frazier says. At Lee's Ferry a boat form-erly owned by John B. Lee and given him by John Wesley Pow-ell in 1886 was found. It was carried to a farm house where it will be kept. Dr. Frazier stated that the biggest dlssappointment of the entire trip was that the party failed to meet Buzz Holmstrom and Amos BuiJg, who are travel-ing by boat from the head of the Green river to the Gulf of Lower California. Previous plans had been made for a meeting at Hite, Utah, from where the parties intended traveling to-gether to Lee's Ferry. Dr. Fraz-ier said evidently Holmstrom and Burg had been detained in Catar-act canyon, 4900 feet of film and hun-dreds of colored slides were tak-en by members of the party. Dr. Frazier's photographs completed his excellent collection of Colo-rado river pictures. He obtain-ed pictures of the river crossing used by Mormon companies. Julius and George Stone and Mr. Chryst left Tuesday in their private plane for their homes in Ohio. . J INGHAM FIREMEN 3 HALLOWEEN BALL 10 BE OCTOBER 29 free Turkey Drawing, Noise-make- r, Hats, Etc.

BINGHAM MINERS BEAT GRANTSV1LLE Locals Display Power In Scoring 20 Points In Firof Porint The Bingham Miners chalked up a win over the Grantsville Cowboys in their initial league game last Friday afternoon at Grantsville. The locals scored three touchdowns and, converted twice in the opening quarter to pile up a 20-- 0 lead. Evidently feeling satisfied with such a lead, the Bingham crew sat back and watched the Cowboys score 13 points in a game but futile rally to upset the highly touted Miners. A 20 yard run through left tackle by Mayne scored the first touchdown. Joe Frlsch passed to Mayne for another score, Mayne kicking the extra point. In the final minute of the first period Churich intercepted a Cowboy pass and ran 30 yards to tally the Miner's final score. Mayne again kicked the extra point. Civic Club Applies For County Library Center In Binsham lAppllcatlon was made this week to the Salt Lake county library board for establishment of a traveling library center in Bing-ham Canyon when the new coun-ty library plan goes into effect early next year. The request was made by the Women's Civic club, sponsors of the Bingham library for the past eighteen years. At present the city library Is In the city hall, has over 1,000 books and is ppen two evenings a week, Mon-day and Friday. Mrs. John Ores-ha- m is librarian. A .30 of a mill tax levy will be collected with county taxes this year for support of eighteen centers of a traveling county library. Mrs, Ruth Vine Tyler of Salt Lake City Is in charge of the libraries, to be placed at stra-tegic points about the county, and is responsible to a library board named by the county com-mission. If the Bingham library is chosen for a center of one of the county units, it will be igreat-l- y enlarged by addition of books from the traveling library and will likely be open three days a week Instead of two. Mrs. S. J. Granqulst, presi-dent of the Women's Civic club, said that the request for a coun-ty library center in Bingham was being made because "the best interests of the community would be served by enlargement and Improvement of the library by its acceptance of a unit of the traveling library." The present library dates from March 10, 1920, when a com-mittee from the women's club appeared before the Bingham town board and asked their aid in establishment of a library. The town board voted to assist in furnishing and arranged to supply the room for the public Horary, January 25, 1928, a special municipal election was held at the request of the club to decide: "Shall the town of Bingham establish and maintain a free public library and levy a tax of one mill on the dollar ifor pur-pose of maintaining the same?" Result of the election was de-feat of the plan by a vote of 98 algainst and 17 for establishment of the library. Since that time the town has helped the club maintain the library. Until the depression the board gave $30 a month in support of the pro-ject. During the depression the town reduced financial aid to $15 a month, the amount given at present. New books are frequently 'bought by the Civic club, over 100 being added last year, and donations from citizens gladly accepted. A committee of women from the Civic club are named yearly to direct this club project. ! j COUNCIL STUDIES ,i ROUTINE AFFAIRS p- .
