Un-official returns show that the candidates for' ' representative from the second congressional district; receiyed these totals: Democrat J. W. Robinson, 941, and Republican Reed E. Vetterli, 530. The vote was not as .heavy as that usually cast in" 'the district. In the general election of 1940 there were a total of 2521 voters reporting at the polls. Of this number 74 per cent supported President Roosevelt in his third term campaign. Even with this majority approval of the Demo-cratic leader, the Republicans of this district had over a 25 per cent gain in strength in percent-age of Republican votes cast for Alf Landon as the GOP stand-ard bearer in 1936. In 1938 Democrat Elbert D. Thomas, opposing Republican Franklin Harris in the race for a seat in the U. S. senate, re-ceived 61.5 per cent of the 1833 votes cast. ' Tuesday's voting showed two trends: (1) disinterest of many in matters political, reflected in lighter voting; and (2). a greater percentage of Republican votes. No. 2 on Tuesday's ballot, the referendum on the chain store tax, was defeated in Bingham by about the same majority as else-where in the state, 2.14 per cent voting against the tax for every one person voting for it The de-feat of the measure, the most controversial legislation of the 1941 session, was a decisive ex-pression (68.3 per cent) of the voters' disapproval of this type of taxation. Most observers cred-ited interest in No. 2 in "getting out the vote". ' Any change in rates of pay for state legislators was opposed by Bingham voters 317 for ;as com-pared with 586 against. Francis A. Miller, candidate for justice of peace, received the lar-gest number of votes given any 996 ballots. DJ). MOFFAT IS NEW HEAD OF UTAOTPER CO. Colonel D. C. Jackling, 73, world famous as a mining pio-neer in the exploitation of large, low-gra- disseminated copper deposits, recently retired as pre-sident of the Utah Copper com-pany. The story of Colonel Jack-ling- s rise to engineering emin-ence exemplifies the American ideal of equality of opportunity. At the directors' meeting in New York City October 26, D. D. Moffat, a native Utahn who came up from the ranks of company mining engineers, was named to succeed Colonel Jackling as head of Utah Copper. Mr. Moffat, vice president and general manager for Utah Copper the past 12 years, was named vice president of Kennecott Copper corporation on October 10. He is a leading fig-ure in Utah's industrial, finan-cial and civic affairs. Under his management Utah Copper com-pany has reached an all time high in production, turning out more copper than any other single op-eration has ever produced. Colonel Jackling organized the Utah Copper company in 1903. Three years later he became vice president and general manager. He was elevated to the presiden-cy in 1923, a post he held until his retirement last month. Born near Appleton City. Bates county, Mo., in 1869, Daniel Cow-an Jackling was left an orphan at the age of three. His boyhood was spent on the Missouri farm of an aunt and uncle. He worked his way through the Missouri School of Mines and remained there a year after graduation as assistant professor of chemistry and metallurgy. The next year, 1893, he was a hard rock miner at the famous Cripple Creek, Colo., district. He made the acquaintance of Charles MacNeil and Captain J. R. De Lamar, two of the most resource: ful mine operators in Colorado of the 90s. Influenced by. his forthrightness, competence and persistency, they sent him to Utah, where he was in charge of construction and operation of metallurgical works of the Con-solidated Mercur Gold Mines. Jackling made preliminary ex-aminations and reports on the mining properties of Bingham in 1891. Convinced of its potential value he outlined a method of development and eventually gain-ed backing for organization of Utah Copper company. The min-ing process he evolved at Bing-ham has since been employed in all parts of the world. He has re-ceived the highest honors the American engineering profession can bestow. He holds honorary degrees of doctor of engineering from the Missouri School of Min-es, University of. Southern Cali-fornia and University of Utah, r KNITTERS SOUGHT FORRED CROSS Mrs. M. Smernoff, acting Bing-ham chairman of the American Red Cross knitting in the ab-sence of Mrs. Louis Buchman, an-nounces that there is an abun-dance of yarn on hand for knit-ting articles for men . in armed forces. So much knitting is required for each article. For 100 hours Red Cross knitting a production Ein .which costs 50 cents, may purchased by a knitter. The pin is an honor which is given not as a reward for work finish-ed but in recognition of the pro-mise of future work. Women who would like to knit for the Red Cross but who re-quire help are advised that there is a list of women who can sup-ply yarn and will give knitting instruction. Besides Mrs. Smernoff the list of those assisting in Bingham representatives of organization, include: Mrs. A. C Cole, Mrs. Eugene Chandler, Mrs. W. E. Day, Mrs. T. A. Masters, Mrs. S. J. Granquist, Mrs. W. J. Tierney, Mrs. Joseph Timothy, Mrs. George Panos, Mrs. E- - G. Ball, Mrs. H. R. Gust, all of Bingham; Mrs. J. H. Jensen, Miss Marie Button, Mrs. R. G.

SOLDIERS RETURN TO MINE WORK Announced intention of the war department to grant exper-ienced metal miners furloughs on the condition that they return to the place of induction or enlist-ment and accept work in mines producing minerals essential to the war effort has brought 350 soldiers here from Camp Kearns. This week several Bingham men, local boys released from service to resume former po-sitions, were welcomed home. Included in the number are Cpl. Ben Arritola of Camp Rucker, Ala.; Cpl. Howard Stewart and Cpl. Carl Chad wick of Camp Haan. Orvil Crane of Riverton, Don Combs and liruce K. Dalton . of Lark are others released from service on condition that they work in the metal mines. A. G. MacKenzie, manager of the Utah Metal Mine Operators association, explains the govern-ment's plan to increase metal production with soldier-labo- r in this way: "The War Department has authorized furloughs to soldiers with previous mining experience so that they may accept employ-ment in metal mines. Thus far the only mines eligible to receive furloughed soldiers are mines which produce copper, zinc, tung- - sten and molybdenum. "Soldiers who meet these re- -' quirements have been brought together at Camp Kearns, Utah, ' and Camp McCoy, Sparta, Wis- - ' consin. "The procedure at : Camp Kearns has been for authorized . representatives of the classes of.-mine- s mentioned to arrange with the U. S. Employment Service for interviews with the soldier- - miners. If the soldier decides to accept the employment and the mine representative wishes to employ him, the Army grants him a furlough for that purpose. During the fife of the furlough the man has a civilian status just as he had before he entered the Army. However, the furlough is granted only on condition that he go to work in the mines and if he leaves his employment in the mines he will be recalled to ac-tive duty with the Army. "The soldier is not required to return to the mines and may con-tinue his service in the Army, al-though the Army encourages all soldier-mine- rs who meet the re-quirements to go back to the mines, as the Army believes that they can best serve the nation in that way at this time. This pro- - ' cedure is authorized in a state-ment by Robert P. Patterson, Under Secretary of War, issued October 21, 1942. "In line with the present great need for metal production the U. S. Selective Service has issued instructions to all the Selective Service local boards requesting the local boards to give serious consideration for occupational de-ferment to all registrants who are giving the full measure of their time and effort in nonferrous me-tal mining, smelting and refin-ing activities, or have contract-ed to become so employed in the' reasonably near future. This cov-ers unskilled as well as skilled men and great emphasis is plac-ed on the importance of keeping such men in the mines in the present emergency." MINERS TO GET BACKPAY, RAISE The October 23 decision of the Nation War Labor board in the Utah-Idah- o mine cases provides for a wage increase of $1.00 a day at the mines and smelters affect-ed. It also provides for retroac-tive payment to July 1, 1942, of $1.00 a shift for men who meet the standard of work perform-ance, and a day to men who fail to meet that standard. Companies in the Bingham area which were parties to the Utah case are: American Smelt-ing and Refining company, Com-bined Metals Reduction company, National Tunnel and Mines com-pany, Ohio Copper company of Utah and United States Smelt-ing Refining and Mining com-pany. , O NOVEMBER BUSY AUXILIARY MONTH American Legion auxiliary to P0st No. 30 met Wednesday eve-ning at the. .home of Mrs. Mike Brisk with7 Mrs- - J.

O BLAST FROM HILL SHOWERS ROCKS ON MAIN STREET An unexpected variation in the; geological formation of the can- -' yon wall on the east side of Main street below the Carr Fork inter-section caused a dynamite blast shot off at. 3:45 p.m. Monday to shower quartzite pebbles and boulders onto Main, street . ; ' Construction crews, engaged in cutting a new level for ore cars, made a mistake in timing, a mist calculation which gave persons in the vicinity of business esta-blishments from 484 to 500 Main several minutes excitement. ; . The thud of falling rock and sound of smashing glass follow-ed the roar of the explosion and puff of dust. No serious injur-ies were treated at local hospi-tals Utah Power and Light com-pany lines for the upper section of town were shorted by the blast and the flow, of electricity inter-rupted for about 15 minutes. ; According to unofficial insur-ance appraisal, cost of replac-ing shattered plate glass win-dows, damage payments for- Wo-ken .skylights . and roof repairs will probably amount to $1500; HEALTH PROBLEMS ARE IMPROVED Matters relating to city health and sanitation problems were discussed by the city council Wednesday evening when a health department report signed by Dr. F. E. Straup and Dr. Paul S. Richards was studied. of local cafes, bars and eating places revealed that sanitation rulings were be-ing more carefully, observed and conditions are much improved. Ordinances requiring place-ment of garbage on the sidewalk in covered metal containers at specified times of day are being more generally observed, the re-port stated. An inspector's report on Hogan dairy and R dairy milk showed bacteria count low and fat con-tent satisfactory. Both dairies were rated "good". " - Water analysis on tests taken at Dry Fork, tunnel and Mark-ha- m tank October 5 by a Utah state board of health represen-tative showed water "satisfac-tory".
