DISTRICT MADE OFWPPERTON The Salt Lake County Com-mission last week approved the fotmation of a sewer and water improvement district in the town of Copperton. The district includes some 240 families, Bingham High School and Copperton grade school. Commissioners voted unani-mously to form the district after no protests were recorded at a public hearing held in commis-sion chambers. Copperton water and sewer systems were previously owned by Kennecott Copper Corp. and later sold to Galbreath & Co., a real estate firm. Galbreath will turn the systems over to the dis-trict for mairtenance and oper-ation. Property owners in Copperton petitioned the commission for formation of the district. Commissioner Lamont B. Gun-ders-said that a three - man board of trustees will be appoint-ed from the five-ma- n citizen's committee elected by the people to organize the district. The citizen's committee con-sists of John E. Dahlstrom, Ro-bert E. Pullan, Rex Garrett, Dewey Knudsen and Dean Malan. The Copperton Improvement District was officially created Wednesday by a resolution adopt ed by the Salt Lake County Commission. Also included in the resolution was the appointment of a board of trustees for the district con-sisting of Mr. Dahlstrom, Mr. Knudsen and Mr. Malan, all of Copperton.

I think this fight will be a roughie from start to finish. Patterson is the youngest man to fight for the champion-ship and it is certain that Archie Moore is the oldest. The only thing that can not be forecast in this fight is just how much did Marciano take out of Moore when he beat him in nine rounds. A score or more were sent into oblivion by the Rock. LaStarza, Walcott, Louis just to name a few. Now maybe the same thing has happenel to Moore. we know that after Archie kayoed Olson that Bobo had had it. But with Archie right mentally and physically he will be too much for Floyd. The kid just makes too many mistakes. The big thing going for Patterson is his soeed of hands, almost as fast as Louis was in his prime. . After this comes the one that all of us will be waiting for with abated breath. Gene Fullmer's quest for the middleweight championship of the world. All reports indicate that Gene will be ready. This one finds the same parallel as the heavyweight fight, youth vs age. Gene will be younger than Robinson and in this case I take youth, because in the case of Robinson he has lived a great many years in his life and was inactive for some time while in the case of Moore, Archie kept busy all the time. Now for football. This has been a season of unusual happenings. Iowa was picked to finish a way down in the Big Ten standing but they came fast and won the title and a trip to the Rose Bowl. Being an old Iowan this game will nave a lot of interest for me. They will be playing Oregon State and this is another first. They will be playing a repeat performance, Iowa having beaten them in an early season game. The score was close and all things point to another thriller. That football made state of Iowa will be in Pasadena in force. I doubt whether there will be enough men left in the state to mann the pumps. As for our own league, haven't seen where Wyoming the win-ners have received a bid to any of the New Year's classics. Of course there is still time. My guess is that the BYU game did-n't do them any good in the eyes of the men picked to select the teams for these big games. Colorado will be in the Orange Bowl and they will give a good account of themselves. As for our own state we will just have to be like the Brooklyn baseball fans and say wait until next year. Another Bingham boy receiv-ed national publicity when Sport Magazine had an article about industrial bowling. Neil Forsberg of Bingham and his teammates were featured. Neil works for the telephone company in New York City. All of the former ball players got a kick out of it 'because we all loved Neil as a son when he was our mascot for Gemmell Club teams. Had a nice write up and pictures. Believe me as all of the ball players said, it could-n't happen to a nicer kid. See you in front of the TV for the championship fight tonight. Al .BLASTING CAP j INJURES YOUTH A blasting cap attached to a short fuse exploded prematurely and caused hand and abdominal injuries to a ar old Bingham youth last Saturday afternoon, i The youth was attempting to shoot the cap with a bow and arrow. j Max Duran, 15, 519 Copper-field- , was admitted to St. Mark's Hospital in Salt Lake City with shrapnel lacerations of the hand and abdomen. He is reported in improved condition. Deputy Sheriff Elmer Panta-lon- e reported he rounded up 87 of the blasting caps with the assistance of Kennecott Copper Corp. officials, after it was learn-ed that the cap which injured the Duran youth was one of 200 stolen near Lark. According to the deputy, three 15 year old Bingham youths first obtained the blasting caps. Some were obtained by the in-jured youth and three other ar olds: Frank Agaliar, Frank Moyeda and Rubio Lopez. When the deputy was assigned to investigate the injury blast, he learned the caps had been stolen and the youths had fired more than a hundred with short fuses during the day in the Lark and Bingham area. The injured youth, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Fidel Duran, had attached a cap with lighted short fuse to an arrow and was pre-paring to shoot it when the cap exploded. Deputy Pantalone said the names of all seven youths will be turned over to Juvenile Court authorities.

This figure represents the biggest single corporate tax to 'be paid in the history of the state. The tax payment came from the Utah Division of Kennecott Copper Corporation which con-ducts copper mining, milling and refining operations in the state. The nine million dollar tax payment is based on a total com-pany property valuation in Utah of $250,669,117 for 1956. This fig-ure wa3 double the $85,000,000 property valuation ten years ago, company officials pointed out. The $9,121,932 tax payment was $654,374 higher than the property tax payment of $8,467,-55- 3 made by Kennecott in 195o. The latter was the largest single tax payment made in Utah up to that time. This year's tax payment repre-sents- slightly more than. 30 per cent of the property tax moneys received in Salt Lake county this year. However, Kennecott's total Utah taxes, including franchise (corporate income), sales and mine occupation, will be $12,-556,9- 37 this year' in Utah. Largest share of the tax pay-ment, some $8,354,304 will go to public schools. Substantial will go the state's uni-form school fund for distribution to the various school - districts and to Granite and Jordan school districts. ' Kennecott officials pointed dut that the principal reason for the property tax payments each year, is higher over-a- ll property valu-ation, which is tied to produc-tion. Mr. and Mrs. Don Lipsey of' Cottonwood Heights are the-prou-parents of a baby boy born November 27, at Cottonwood Maternity Hospital. The young-ster weighed six pounds and eleven ounces. Mrs. Lucille Robertson who has operated Lucille's Shoppe at 492 Main St. in Bingham for the past nine years, announces that she is closing her shop as of De-cember 1st.
