' , ' THE PRESSBULLET1N : VOLUME 47 BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1918 NUMBER 43 THEPOU MAKES WILD GUESS AND IS CAUGHT The following clipping from the Deseret News of a few days ago was handed us this week and it will be read with interest by many Bingham people: "An echo of one of the most famous 'soils' in American journalism reached Bait Lake last night, when the Tele-gram in screaming headlines announc-ed the 'overthrow of the Austrian gov-ernment and the formation of a pro-visional cabinet by revolutionary forces.' "The dispatch was ated Petrograd, The newsboys had a lively time for a while, until some suspicious people compared the statement with the A. P. dispatches in the Evening News, and found no mention of such an event. The hilarious fact now comes out that this dispatch was given out by one iM. Nelotsky, under secretary of the Bolsheviki.' Thereby hangs the tale. "The International Press Service, which furnishes the Telegram with its lurid headlines, has long been known as a faker, and a manufacturer of unreliable news. A rival press as-sociation In New York set a trap for it, and put the 'Nelotsky story on the wires. The International promptly fell into the trap and sent it out to all its correspondents, the Telegram among others. After it had been thor-oughly circulated, the rival press as-sociation cooly drew attention to the fact that it was all a fake, and that the mysterious 'Nelotsky' was merely the English word 'stolen,' spelled back-ward, with 'ky' added as Russian camouflage. The only mention the In-ternational service made in its later dispatches was that the 'rumor' of the revolution was denied. The letters which pass between the victimized papers using the Interna-tional service and the home office, would be most interesting reading if they vere obtainable."

The essay of 'Miss Stapleton and the essay of Miss Tennant are as follows: First Prize Story. 'By Miss (Margaret Stapleton, on "The Prevention of the Spread of Contagious Diseases." ' In the prevention of the spread of contagious diseases, perhaps the thing most needful is for everyone, old and young, to realize how deeply each in-dividual is responsible for the public welfare; how every little act of care-lessness may endanger not only the general health, but also human lives. And there is need of abaolutel clean-liness, which includes cleanliness of person and of premises, the burning of all possible refuse, the keeping of closely covered garabage cans, and eternal vigilance in keeping freedom from flies; and absolute carefulnes in observing all the rules of health and sanitation, with careful study to keen well informed on this important duty of citizenship; and abiolute faithfulness in obeying to the last, least fraction every law of quarantine, never counting as small or little mom-ent any least one of these duties that are for our own, and our neighbor's and remember always that upon our faithfulness In this will, in a large measure depend the health of our city; and also that to be care-less In this is truly criminal.

The personal hygience Is the great-est of all preventatives. The daily bath stimulates circulation and throws off ImpuritUs. The daily cleansing of the mouth, teeth and nose, the chief portals for the entrance for bacteria Is a good prophylactic. General bodi-il- y cleanliness wards off disease. Daily outdoor exercise gives the need-ed oxygen, stimulates circulation and tones up the body in general, so that it can combat any contagious disease. A simple diet is conclusive to the best nf liooith Tfp(riilHr sleeD in well ven- - tllated rooms gives the body the need: ed rest to meet all physical and men-tal demands.

(By . S. C.) On Tuesday, the twenty-fourt- h day 'ii of April, nineteen seventeen, two of A the most popular of the students of the Bingham High School enlisted in the United States marine corps. They . were Vernon Guymon, known as 'Red,' and George E. Marshall, known as "Skinny." Last, Tuesday word Tas received from them Baying that they were leaving for France. Marshall at the time was writing a letter to one of his school chums, telling her that they were packed and ready to leave. Marshall, who is a officer, remarked suddenly that the telephone from headquarters said that they were to assemble, and be ready to leave at once, and that from now on that all communications must be ad-dressed to him or "Red" thusly, "The American 'Expeditionary Forces," in, care of the New York post office. This news was not unexpected by their intimate friends, as for the past two or three weeks their letters said that they were on the last stage of their training, and were expecting to lesve ft. a moment's notice. Guymon lived in Bingham for three "'Vl yea's r-l- o" to his leaving for the ma-r- , rines; he has four brother and four s'rtcrr living in this state. Lester, his older brother, being in the army and is serving in the infantry. He graduated with the class of nineteen PBvptitppn of the iBineham 'High School. He received his diploma after havfng attf-nde- the hiph school only three years, but being very bright t.4.i a hard worker he was able n car-j- f ry the required number of credits of Sr;;work and graduated near to the head of his class. Guymoii wss a member of the Wrurham Hii?h School's first basketball team and last year In the face of opposition composed of play-ers of long experience, he won the hon-or of being TOnpham's best guard: no one in a game last year ever endeav-ored to "'ay as hard to win a game as he did. Marshall is not a native of Bingham. although he went to the 'High School ' I" lact year, eomng here in the earlv . ' fall from Ttunert. Idaho. (He staved with the .Wilson brothers for a while, who by the way are in the U stationed at Carrtp Greene. Charlotte, . N. C, and then he and Guymon "batched" togother until they joined the marines in April of last yonr. Marshall was nopolar among a wide circle of friend'?, his nickname "Skin-ny" is derived from the way he is built, tall and slim. "Skinny" was the basketball center last year, and played a good game for Bingham. iHe was the associate editor of the year bonk and ws alo a member of the student bodv council with Guvmon. The dav that the boys left the town the school was called in special assem-bly, and the principal gave a rousing talk eulogizing' the patriotism of the boys and praising them for their ac-tion In loinlng the marines at such a time, when they enlisted for the pro-tection of our flag and for the defense of that which we the American people hold dear next to life, viz., liberty and the pursuit of our happiness. iMrs. Jnez Todd King, the besj loved teacher in the history of the high school, and who had taught the boys that year, and had also taught Guy mon for the last three vears. gave a wonderfully eloquent address, telling of the splendid wort that the two boys had done during the year past. She remarked that the faculty could rest assured t?;at t'-e- vere not mak-ing a mistake in advancing Hie boy'.i credHs. a we. t'i? custom through-out the U. S last year.

After his talk felllnsr of the ftuff they were made of. r.nd also of the real patriotism that they were sholng thre was not a . member of the High School student body that did not feel the same way. They knew, or rather felt, the great sacrifice tiiat the boys were making, when thev Mt their schooling and Joined in the fight for the freedom and the democracy of the world. After the members of the faculty had expressed their opinions of the matter the boys were each called upon tn make a few remarks, but their hearts were too full to say anything, they said that the feelings of the stu-dents and of the faculty, expresfed through the talks, were such that they would always remember, and that they would do their best to help make I a reputation in the marines, as true representatives of their High School and of their town. They were accom-panied to the station and were cheer id 'Hion their entraining by the entire 'int. body.

CABR FflllTER FILTHV SAYS STATE CHEMIST Analysis Made From Sample of Carr Fork Water Sent to State Board of Health Indicates That it is Not Good For Drinking: Purposes Dr. Beatty Writes Dr. Dean Regarding Complaint Analysis As Made by Chemist. According to analysis just made of the Carr Fork water it is not the best for drinking purposes, The chemist in remarking on the water after the analysis, characterized it as "filthy water containing a large amount of solids and is of 'suspicious organic purity." There has been much complaint about the Carr Fork water. Most of: the people who have complained have done so because the water tasted bad and others said It made them sick. Everyone who has used it seems to bt jof the opinion that it is not good-Peop- le living in the community where this water is the only convenient available supply have talked quite a little about the matter, and many of them carried water for some distance -- rather than drink the Carr Fork wa-pi-y. Since this talk has become so gen-eral Dr. H. C. Deane sent a sample of this water to the state board of health for analysis, and also registered a complaint with .Dr. T. IB. Beatty of the state board. From Dr. Beatty he re-ceived the following letter: "The following is a copy of the re-port of the state bacteriologist cover- - ing the samples of the Bingham wai-ter: No. 1, Carr Fork (at tunnel): No. bacteriao per C. c 57" Fermentation.

BETTER WATER FOR BING- - HAM IF EVERYBODY ' - - At the town board meeting held Wednesday evening it was decided to cut off the Carr Fork water supply and use only the iMarkham water. iThis supply will furnish the people of Bingham 230,400 gallons of good water daily or about 60 gallons for each in- - habitant TTiIb is sufficient if none is wasted and the pec-- pie are asked to shut off their water at night in place of al- - lowing same to run. Unless people te with the town board in this particular the water may be shut off en-- tlrely for those who violate this order. At least they will be prosecuted if they allow the water to nin to waste. We urge every citizen to and conserve the water sunrdv of 'Bingham so that the health of all may be protected. BY ORDER OP TUB TOWN BO AIR D. WEST JORDQH CLIMATE RE-MINDER OF FIERCE ARTIC ' WEATHER We have no desire to give the West Jordan community any adverse pub-licity, but we transcend no bounds of truth by saying that it Is the windiest, coldest place in the world. It is there that the icy winds of winter blow in with all their hyperborean terrors. When" a person is unfortunately ma-rooned there for something like an hour to change from the Interurban to the stage line, he gets a genuine sam-ple of Arctic weather. At ihe place where the stage line intersects the car line is a signboard which proclaims the name of the stop as Hlbbard and announces that it is 11.8 miles to Salt lLake. Tbe only other fixture is a small cement wait-ing room for summer passengers. The ventilation in this room is perfect, be-cause the air must be as pure on the inside as out. The little room is full of windows, screened with wire and it is much colder on the inside than th out. as in this building the blasts turn into whirlwinds.' Therefore one can-not remain in the building during cold weather. There 1s no one living at the station of Hibbard and a stranger has only to stop over there between trains to know the reason why. that neither man nor beast inhabit the place. Only a short distance Trom Hibbard is Wetrt Jordan and iMldvale. People live in both these towns, but they evidently have hiding places for the winter. Wtien the hiterurban or the stage lets a ctranger off at that point to wait for another car it is guilty of criminal negligence and ought to be prosecuted. MEEK WHITE SLAVE CASE INTERESTS BMM A case in which a great many Bing-ham people wilj' read of with-- unflag- - , ' ging ; ffiterist f t n one- - wIch' caiiw to a head near here several days ago, the principals . being a' Japanese, a Greek, and a crushlngiy beautiful "lady" form (Missouri. The Japanese is known by the name of Yoko, the Greek answers ,10 hat of Benardis, and the girl has for her entitlement that entrancingly poetical name, "Bil-lie.- " Things began to happen for the pub-lic last week when Yoko missed $100 in cold cash. Of course he thought that (illlie had it. In fact he was morally certain of it and ladged a protest with the house. BiBle not only denied cabbaging the coin, but she beat it out of the neighborhood to Salt ILaka, accompanied by her hero and adviser, flernardls. Yoko follow-ed suit. It appeared that the Jcp loved IBillie and that Billie loved the Greek. And the Jap no doubt thought to himself that if he had loved and lost he d;d not want to lose his $100. He had 'Billie arrested on a charge of larceny. When the officers made the arrest they found Billie and the Greek quartered In the Newhouse hotel. The poor girl not only denied stealing the Jap's money, but said she was broke. Then the officer got to playing with her muff, as officers are sometimes inclined to do, and In that muff he found $1,400 and about $1,000 worth of diamonds. Following this parties Interested in the other side got busy and preferred a white slavery charge against the Jap and he was taken into custody by the federal authorities and his case Is still under Investigation. From the wise ones here, who know the Ins and outs of all matters of this kind, and who don't mind telling a good fellow alU about it if they know he will kep It to himself, we have se-cured a few particulars leading up to the arrests. 'Billie came to this com-munity about two years ago and since that time has been "working" at a house near Copperfield. Among those who worshipped at her shrine were Yoko. the Jap, and Benardis, the Greek, and while the girl tolerated the Jap she dearly loved the Greek and many thing happened to add fuel to the flames. She had those hypnotizing, mesmeri-zing, dreamy eyes which lure men's souls to the shores of sin and in the words of the poet: Oh, this girl she was a beauty, A Chinese washer and fluter; She had money much. Her father wan Dutch, But the villian still pursued her. P.F. ILater the Greek and Tiillle are married. Case closed. HEASTQN BOAT FOR USE IN ENFORCING GAME LAW A. L. Heaston, chief deputy state fish and game commissioner, is con-structing at the machine shop at the state capitol a boat which the depart-ment designs to use as a patrol boat in enforcing the fish and game laws the coming summer. It will be 18 feet long, built to carry four persons. Trucks will be attached so that it may be pulled along behind an auto-mobile, when it Is desired to transfer it from one lake or river to another. It will be fitted with a detachable gasoline engine of a d type, and next summer if a state ward-en asks you to go boating with him, it will mean something. IAD RAS NARROW ESCAPE IN FRONT OF PRIESS Charles, the eight-year-ol- d son of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Schmitt. had a nar-row escape Thursday night of last week Just after coming out of the Prin-cess Theatre, when he was knocked down by one horse and run over by three others. Fortunately the boy re-ceived no serious injuries. Just as he came out of the show and was walking along the sidewalk he was struck by a loose horse and knock ed into the street, and. before he could get. up was run over by three other loose horses. There is no restrictions in Bingham against horses running at large in the streets. EYES OF THE IRID MADE-- GREAT HIT IN BINGHAM When it la stated that 1500 adults saw that popular motion picture play, "The Byes of the World." when It was presented at the Paramount Princess and at the Phoenix theatres last week, it is unnecessary to say that the peo-ple of this community were highly pleased with it. The picture was put on the reel at the Princess shortly after 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon of last week and was shown continuously to a packed house until after midnight. The next afternoon and night it was shown to a packed house at the Phoenix. How-ever, there were a great many people in Bingham who were unable to see the picture Thursday and requested the management to give it again on Saturday. ThN was done and the theatre was well filled Saturday after-noon and nleht. This was the first time the picture appeared here at a popular price and the people were delighted to have an opportunity to see it. And it is a pic-ture that people like to see twice, three times and then again. Many of the patrons of the movie expressed appreciation to the management of the Princess and the Phoenix for bring-ing the attraction here and reproduc-ing it after the schedule for the bene-fit of those who were unable to see it the first day. The management knows how to get a crowd and how to entertain after the crowd at the theatre. They select that which Is good and let the people know what to expect, and the people are learning that the attractions at the Paramount 'Princess measure well up with their advertisements. The bringing of "The Fyes of the (World" here at a popular price was a genuine accommodation to the town, and the management deserves credit for this favor WANTS TO DODGE THE INCOME TAX H. N. Standish, cutodian of the city hall, Is trying to devise ways and means whereby he can sidestep the collector of internal revenue when it comes to the matter of income tax. Tuesday afternoon he was sitting quietly in the clerk's office with an expression on his face as though le was in the midst of thought, when sud denly h broke the silence by enthu-'intjnell-exclaiming: "By gracious. I've got a good notion to get married and get rid of paying this income tar." There was a crowd in the office at the time and there was an uproar of laughter. BINGHAM DEVELOPS A CASE OF "BOOTLEGGER'S ITCH" According to Col. Klngsberry. a new malady has broken out in 'Bingham. It Is called "Bootlegger's Itch." The health officer has not taken official notice of Its prevalence, but It's here nevertheless. 'King said he was walk-n- g down the street about a week ago and he saw an old friend In mighty bad shape, and Inquired of htm the nature of his trouble The Indisposed mnn replied. "I'm full of formaldehyde and I've got a bad case of bootlegtrer's Itch." As this disease Is "ketchln" there Is a possibility that quarantine regulations will hove to be applied to lit Inter on.
