"Miss Galena" Search On Winner of the "Miss Galena" contest, to reign over the two-da- y celebration ,will also be entered in the Miner's Day queen con-test at the Utah State fair Sat-urday, September 23, according to Walter Bolic, chairman. A queen and her two attendants are to be selected from among entrants from all the state's min-ing and smelting districts and will divide $125 prize money. "The applications are coming in very fast", Mr. Bolic said, "but we will welcome more ap-plicants as we want every quali-fied girl to have a chance to be chosen "Miss Galena" or one of her two aids." The gifts to be presented Miss Galena and her two aids are now on display in the Elva-Rut- h Shoppe window. Traffic Problem One of the knotty problems of the celebration, that of handling traffic, will fall to chairman of that committee, R. R. Marriott, for solution. A suggestion receiving public consideration and favored by many, calls for parking auto-mobiles in lower Bingham and on outskirts of town. If this method is finally ap-proved, provisions will be made for regular bus service to and from upper Main street. O City Lighting Improvement Proposal Is Given Approval Change Offered At No Initial Cost; Upkeep Modest " A plan made by the Utah Power and Light company for improvement of Bingham Can-- , yon's lighting system, which has been studiously considered by the city council since August 1, was approved Wednesday night at the regular meeting. Changes in the present lighting equip-ment will be made after January 1, 1940, thus allowing the coun-cil to set-u- p more money in the new city budget for lighting ex-pense. The improvements outlined by. the power ' company were sug-gested after city officials con-ferred with power authorities on needed changes in city lighting. Several alterations have been' asked by the council and their approval of the plan is subject' to these changes being made by the Utah Power and Light, but briefly the proposed system is described as follows: The Utah Power & Light com-pany will spend between $9000 and $10000 to completely remodel the present inadequate lighting system. This amount of money would be expended for removal of extra wires leading into homes and business houses. Where there are more than one wire leading into a building, they will be com-bined into one cable, eliminating straggling wires which make un-sightly appearance. This program would also call, for the removal of the lower arms on the power poles with all wires being placed above the street lights. After these wires are elevated the poles would be painted white from the street light down to the street. The fainting and removal of wires would give more light by elimin-ating unnecessary shadows. The change suggested in pres-ent equipment would not cost the city of Bingham any money. Additional expense to the city would be in the purchase of elec-tricity for additional lights and extra power consumed. At the present time there are 79 street lamps in Bingham which cost the city $277.58 a month or $3,330.96 a year in power and upkeep. With the increase of 17 new lamps, making a total of 96 lamps, the cost for electrical current would be $355.33 a month or $4,263.96 annually. The in-crease in lighting lumens would be 133,500 or 34.4 per cent more lighting than given by the pres-ent system. Increase in monthly expense would be $77.55 or 28 per cent. Lighting would be improved on every street in Bingham with special provision in better light-ing to be made on curves along Main street. From the post office up Main street to the City hall nine 15,000 candle . power lights would be installed. This would give Bingham one of the best white ways in the state. Lights being considered would be of the non-gla- re type. o NOTICE TO HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES Any high school graduate who is prevented by financial difficulties from entering col-lege this fall should commu-nicate immediately with the Jordan school district office at Sandy or with Coordinator P.

Frazier, Frank Swain and Willis Johnson of Bingham, who plan to join Julius F. Stone, writer, financier and philantho-pis- t of Columbus, ,Qhio, will leave Saturday morning for Sep-aration canyon at the head of Lake Mead, whore they will and dedicate a bronze pla-que to the memory of the How-lan- d brothers and William Dunn, who were killed by Shivwits In-dians near Mt. Trumbull in nor-thern Arizona August 28, 1869, after they left the first expedi-tion led by Major John Wesley Powell down the Colorado river. The tragedy occurred 70 years ago next Monday, when the pla-que will be erected. Powell made his second successful trip down the Colorado in 1871. Mr. Stone will fly from Los Angeles and meet the Frazier party at Boulder dam and will go by boat to the head of Lake Mead for the erection and dedi-cation. Dr. Frazier and Mr. Swain have run the Colorado river three times and on several occasions Mr. Stone has navigated this treacherous river. He made his first trip down the Colorado in 1898 with a party of geologists, Dr. Frazier is much interested in western history. Last year he was with a party which left a bronze marker at the "Crossing of the Fathers" on Padre creek, where the Spanish father, Silves-tr- e Velez De Escalante, crossed November 7, 1776. CITY TO INSTALL SCHOOLSIGNALS As part of a program aiming at rigid traffic ordinance en-forcement, new street signs have been ordered by the city coun-cil for placement near Bingham Central school, according to Art Sorenson, councilman i:i charge of streets. These signs depict a small school girl carrying a book, and are 14 inches in width, standing three feet high. Intended as a warning to reduce speed, the signals will be placed in the mid-dle of the street each morning and removed from the roadway in the evening after all school chil-dren are safely home. City patrolmen have been in-structed to arrest anyone exceed-ing the eight mile speed limit set in school zones, Mr. Sorenson states," and the new signals or-dered are expected to effectively call attention of motorists to their proximity to the school, as the signals will be placed at uniform distances above and below school grounds. r GEMMELL CLUB IS ONLY LOCAL ENTRY IN STATETOURNEY Gemmell club and Bingham-Sal- t Lake Freight Line team members joined together to enter the Utah State Softball tourna-ment being played in Salt Lake City under the name of the Gem-mell club.

Both teams tallied 9 hits. . UTAH COPPER TO WORK STRAIGHT TIMEJEPT. 1 Beginning September 1 and effective for an indefinite period the Utah Copper mine will run full time. During the past 10 months operations on the hill have been suspended three days each month. Under this new schedule employes will get on an average of two and one-ha- lf days more per month. This will mean that approximately 4250 more man shifts will be worked. This increase in shifts will mean an increase of about $21,500 in the monthly payroll. Employes of the copper com-pany work 11 shifts every two weeks and then lay-of- f for three days, several men were losing as much as six days every ha if month under the lay-of- f system. If a man's lay-of- f came when the mine was down he lost no time but if it came before or af-ter a lay-of- f, time was lost. o CASES HEARD BEFORE HENKEL THIS WEEK Bert Allen Jr. was fined $10 by Judge Alfred Henkel Mon-day for driving without a driv-er's license.

In the future when a state highway patrolman stops you for some minor infraction of traffic rules or regulations, he will not only give you a verbal warning but a ticket as well. This ticket will not require you to appear before a judge; but a duplicate of it will be sent to the state tax commission which will make a record of the ticket. If too many of these little notations are made beside your name at the state capitol, your driver's license will be suspended or revoked, whichever the tax commission may deem fit. "The idea of this new mea-sure," according to Police Chief S.P. Davies, "is to catch up with the small time offenders, those that are always just 'crowding over the line." The state act requiring mis new procedure is in conformance with one being enacted by a number of state governments throughout the United States. When out-of-sta- te drivers are given these tickets, the duplicates will be sent to their own state capitals and there recorded against their names, Cily To Cooperate Bingham hecame one of the first cities in the state to coope-rate with the Utah Tax commis-- I sion in the matter of traffic warn-ing tickets, as Mayor Ed. John-son announced recently that the municipality will issue its own tickets and send duplicates to the state commission for fil-ing agains the drivers' records. Request for cooperation was received recently, the state unit asking assistance of local admin-istrative organization in keeping close check on traffic offenders. GEMMELL STILL IN TITLE RACE Supporters of Gemmell club were pleased no end Wednes-day when the local Industrial league entry halted their quick trip to oblivion long enough to shellack the Helper Miners 22-- 7. They meet the same crew at Helper Sunday. Other games of the schedule for Gemmell are: At Pinney Monday and with Pro-v- o here next Wednesday. In the game here Wednesday Ralph Fielder and George Sluga wielded a powerful willow. Hom-ers were garnered by J. Myers, Sluga, J. Smith, Fielder and Les-ter Sumnicht. It was everybody's day at bat with Ed Marchetti and Joe Myers in the box for Helper .P:itcher Sammy Oliver yielded 14 hits while his mates collected 25. Last year's Industrial league title holders, Magna-Garfiel- d, wrested the lead Gemmell had earned early in the second half, giving them their first in a ser-ies of defeats. Provo, judged out of the race, turned on the heat Wednesday to upset Magna .and is now in the thick of the battle, half-gam- e behind Magna. Nobody knows for sure who will battle Pinney Beverage, first half winners, for the league championship. Gemmell lost a heart-break- er on their home diamond Satur-day when they let Pinney seize a 16-1- 5 victory by allowing the Salt Lakers to pile up 4 runs in the ninth inning. On paper the clubmen played the best game, getting 24 hits to 19 for Pinney. Pitcher Sammy Oliver gave up one base on balls and struck out six and Don Har-rison gave two bases on balls and struck out five, while Frank Shepherd for the Beverage crew yielded four bases on balls and struck out three. Gemmell continued their hard-luc- k slide cellarward Sunday when Provo advanced to tie in second place with Pinney by a 4-- 3 win. Deb Dudley limited the hard-hittin- g clubmen to six hits. Winning run came in the eighth when Em Jensen's triple and Manager John Philpy's single gave Provo the long end of the score.
