The parts f the building other than the roof are as inadequate as in the roof. Bingham has a gond all and court nouse, why not a good church building as well adapted to tho ceds of the commun-ity. Churches ar as much a source of satisfaction, and ortuae for pride as are schools and lib 'aries and other public welfare institute ns. This roof and 'this building mubt go and a new build-ing and a new toof take their place. This will take a few dollars some $10,000 of them. This is war time and thfre are ncny urgent appeals which all have betn met in a genorous tpirit in 'Binaihani for which we are glad. This equipmtnt is something for the home trenches. It Is a pleasure to note th generous responre shown to date for thiB worthy home interest. It has been exprethed, in subscrip-tions from $E00 down. Of the total amount -- of $10,000 neede3, abov.t S'ViOO in now prmidod !n cash and sub-scriptions mostly cash. This includes the new living quarters, which are now being used n.d which co?t $3500. The organ izat'en will soon have four full time works in the field. This building and organization is designed to bear the relation to the community that the Y. M. 2. A. does to the fight-ing front. Service will be the object of its activities. The man of no creed as well as of all creeds will be con-sidered with frit, inal care. Come, let's under the top" of a new church building before the snow flies again. Altogether, "Smile and ' insh", "Lon't knock." . - iisuipliieliinlin At Enthusiastic Meeting Held in Commercial Club It Was De-cided That Bingham Would Secure Pledges for Her Quota in Less Than Ten Days Parson Simpkins, Chairman Collins and Others Make Splendid Speeches Interesting Program Given. . At a big patriotic meeting in the . Commercial Club iMonday night a ' Yll1,lwlnd campaign was launched for Ihe sale of war savings stamps, and before the meeting adjourned It was decided that, this camp would secure pledges for Its quota of $200,000 In less than ten Jays. In fact the date set on "which the camp would show a clean sheet was June 20, Mayor Q. IB. Kelly presided at the meeting, made the introductory re-marks and presented the various speakers and entertainers, and an-nounced the committee appointments. The program was opeed by the sing-ing of "America." The first speaker of the evening was James vy. Collins, stute chairman of the war savings - stamps sales. iMr. Collins made a splendid talk on the war savings stamps and explained their various good points and why the ; people should buy them. He stated in the outset at the beginning of the war that he had never made a public speech and that he could not speak to a crowd, but he la now an enthusias-tic, entertaining, instructive and pleas-- , ing talker, a product of the war. He said that It was intended that the stamps should have a wide distribu-tion and for that reason no individual . could purchase more than $1000 worth. Another feature of the stamps is that the owner, should he need the money for them can turn them into cash at any time he desires on ten days' no-- j tice at the postofflce. He commend- - ed thlg-cam- p for the splendid record .'- -i' made iA the past drives tw aj the government and said that he felt , si - sure that in the purchase of stamps he waa sure that the past record , , would be kept up. He spoke in high-- . est terms of the people of Copper- - field for the splendid work they have I done and are doing in this line. (). . ' The next speaker was Rev. P. A. i Simpkins who delivered a thrilling ad-'- . dress on the work at hand of buying A war savings stamps. When the parson ' J first commenced talking he stated ' that he was just a little too low to ',. see in a satisfactory manner the en-- . i tiro crowd and that when he warmed i np he was liable to build a special ,. ' platform so that he could lock better , at his audience and he did that very ; thing. He had spoken but a short . while when he commenced telling a gripping anecdote, and as he walked - back and forth, still talking, it could i be seen that he was assembling some thing, but the people near the rear o' the building and perhaps those at the front had not noticed this feature a until he had mounted the elevation, so Interested were they in what he was saying. His address was on the stamp buying business and the war In r . general, and there was not a dull mo ment during the entire discourse. The audience was highly pleased with the speech and everyone who missed hear-ing it missed something mighty good. The next sptaker was 'E. O. Sulli-van of the Boston iCon. and he made a good, sensible talk on the situation of selling stamps end told the people that they could depend on the Boston Con. doing its. part While he said that there were a number of his men , . who were still paying installments on the second Liberty Loan, they would take their portion of the stamps. i" The next speaker was James (Mor-row, who gave, a few remarks concern- - ing the war, and recited two appro priate war poems. The program was brought to a con-clusion by the song "Star Spangled Banner," by 'Misses Josephine Berry' .. andiMaxlne Kelly. While most of the seats In the club ' rooms were taken the crowd would have ben much larger but for the fact that it was the evening following the pay day of the Utah Copper Company. " But thore who were there were pleased with the meeting and felt that f it would take but a few days to raise the nuota or secure pledges for the amount. 611,1 STATE fill r AnilOUHCES HRV OFFICERS Unander, Cashier, I.

TRAIN JUMPS EIKI-E-S 45 Japanese Repair Gang Foreman Arrested, Accused of Failing to Warn Approaching Train of Danger. Andrew O. Collings of Salida, Colo., wae killed and 63 persons were In.;. 4HW (rtaftllev'enlh" South and Fifth West streets. when Denver Rlo Grande westbound passenger train No. 1 jumped the track and went over an embankment into a ditch. Several hours after the wreck occur-red Sheriff John 8. Corless and Dep-uty Sheriff Carl Carstensen arrested Y. Yakebe, Japanese section foreman of the track workers, who had been placing new ties at the point where the train left the track. Yaktbe is being held at the co.inty au panning the result of an official investigation, but Sheriff Cortess stated last night that he will swear to a complaint this morning charging him with involun-tary manslaughter. Yakebe is declared to have caused the pulling of the pikes of the ties and then to have failed to send back a flarman to pro-tect the oncoming train, which rushed into the loosened section of the main line without' any warning. Train Running at High Speed The train was said to have been traveling at a high rate of speed when it left tho track because of spreading rails. Foit coaches were thrown down the embankment, two of them on their sides and one almost on end. Two other cars of the train were badly wrecked. Conductor Jacob Moss said that the train was making more than 30 miles an hour when the wreck oc-curred nnd that it was an hour late Others declared the train was making between 45 and 60 miles an hour. The wreck occurred a short distance north and west of 'Eleventh 8outh and Fifth West streets at 1:25 o'clock. The train was due in the city at 12:15 o'clock. Engineer Fred King sa'd after the accident that thers was no warning given and that the first Inti-mation he had of trouble was when he noticed the swaying cars. Almost at the same moment came the crash of the wreck. Officials of the railroad said last night their records showed that 41 people hod been lr Jured in ti e wreck. Many, however of whom no lnforma-- 1 tion was secured, left the scene after administering first-ai- d themselves. According to the officials of the road this is the first time that a pass'n-- i ger has ben killed on the Utah lines of. the road, a record which is said to be almost unpt ralleled In railroad annals of the West - , ; rr-- . . . : ' !

MoDonough. 77 Car Fork, who recently arrived In France, has wrltttn his mother a very interesting letter of his experience in the land where the greatest war of all ages Is now being fought. The communication in part 5s as follows: We Ure now settled again "some-where in France." We have very good quarters and are enjoying ourselves to the utnioct. Anyway I am. I am iu gcod health. I haven't been to tz;t, and I don't care if I ever go or not. 1 can't speak enough French to mike myself understood, but I guec--s I'll get by with what,I do know and what I have to learn. 1 think I saw the Car-ter boy the other day who used to run around with Glenn Ferry. Tobacco here is cheaper than it was in the Btates, and the Y. M. C. A. has all American candy, so it would only be an expense for you to send any pack ages. The life of a foreigner is sure great, especially when one of us as a soldier tries to talk to these peopla who would like to understand us. The French are a very beautiful class of people, and they sure have coaxing eyes. To-day as I was standing by the side of the Tence some girls passed along the road and when they saw us standing there they said something in French r.nd then in broken American, "Hello, Jack." They look at us in wonder. They try to talk, but they know it's no use. When they find a boy who can speak French they almost talk his leg off. It rains often here. Today is the first good day we have had, and the deiue bushes and trees were very In-teresting to us after not seeing them for so long. Did you get the printed card from the U. S. saying that I ar-rived safely. I will send you a press-ed French rose as soon as 1 get one? We get plenty of good chow and clothes. I am well supplied for the year 190 8. so don't wtv sim. v- -- son "somewhere in France-- , for he will return a much wiser chap he left. I seem to gain In weight all the time, and am getting my body well developed for a tough fight. I like this place better every day and I have found a big water pond In which we go swimming evry after-noon, and it sure is great. Here we draw $.'i6 American money, or about 2 francs and 20 centimes, so that isn't so bad. That is the way so many people get the idea that American money is worth so much, but it costs one 5, 10 or 15 francs every time one turns round. A package of cigarettes only costs 50 or 75 centimes, and that Is about 10 or 13 cents. The French clock starts at 1 and goes around to 24. At 3 o'clock. In France it Is 15 o'clock, and at 10 minutes to 12 It is 10 to 24. The French fast girls ere asi dangerous as the American mountain lion, but 1 am not afraid of such things, so I take a bodyguard every-where I go no fooling. I paw Charley Clays today and he sure Is looking fine. All of us Bing-ham I boys are getting along fine, ex-cept . George Tucker, and he left El Paso quarantined with measles, and now in the hospital with nmnips. Well, goodbye. Your loving son, BILL.

OSCAR FULLMER COMFOSES, 'AMERICA MYJP DEAR LAND E. G. (Locke, who has long since claimed for himself the distinction of poet laureate of Bingham, will have to set up and take notice because there is another individual in the camp now who writes both muHic and verse, and that Is Chief Deputy Sheriff Oscar Fullmer. He has written an abundance of verse and one of his recent produc-tions, entitled "America, iMy Own Dear Land," has been widely distributed throughout the United States. It is published by G. H. Schuster Music Company of Salt Lake and more than 7,000 people have received copies of HUGH GRANT ALMOST ELECTRO- the patriotic song. CUTED ' Hugh Grant, employe of the Utah Copper company, came near being electrocuted lait week when he came in contact with a live wire. While engaged at work he took hold of a live wire and was standing on some piping and the circuit was complete. He was unable to turn loose the wire and called for help. Other workmen came to his rescue and succeeded In rescu-ing him, but he was badly burned and severely ohocked in the meantime. MRS REPPLE RAISES . PGM FROUJPI SCRAPS In the matter of uBing the to advantage, K. W. Nepple, pro-prietor of Boston Con. Hotel No. 2, has given the people in the commun-ity an object lesson in what can be done in the matter of raising pigs and porkers. During the past year Mr. Nenplc has engaged In the hog rais-ing business as a sidu line, and he pro-duced $"00 worth of bacon at practical-ly no cost. In other words the hogs were fattened from the Vitcht-- sora;), dlshwuter, etc., material that might otherwise have be.-- n thrown away. The experience has been pleasant and profitable to IMr. Nepple, and he has no intention of quitting this little industry. He now has three fine brood sows and will fatten and butch-er a great number of porkers during the coming fall and winter. There are others in this community who might take up this line of illoover-lzln- g with as much success as has the proprietor of the Boston Con. No. 2. And there Is no danger of overstocking the market with pork. Most any fam-ily could raise and fatten a pig from the table scraps which are wasted daily. 8MALL BLAZE YESTERDAY The residence of iMrs. Josephine Mil-ler caught fire yesterday morning, evidently from the sparks from the chimney and burned a considerable j portion of" the. roof, wall and ceiling ';rfore it was checked by the firemen. ' The firemen responded readily when the alarm was given and did splendid work In saving the building. The Iobh is estimated at $200. BUTTE CAFE CHANGES HANDS (Butte Cafe this week passed into new hands. Frank Clark, who has been proprietor of the 'Butte for the past eight months, soldhis popular and well known restaurant to IMrs Matllta Erlckson and her daughter, Miss Elma Erlckson. While Mr. and iMrs. Clark had charge of the Butte it was one of the bet eating places In the camp and tin patrons of this cafe always got worth. They kept it in first class shape and the government in-spectors on their visits here always gave it a high rating. The new owners have been engagfd In the boarding house business and are well prepared to continue making the 'Butte a good place to eat. For some time 'Mr, Clark has been figuring on getting Into government service and he will probably take up some work for Uncle (Pan In the near future. Clark is a good fellow. He Is always on the square and you sel-dom find a better all around man. He has many friends In the camp who will regret to learn that he has quit the restaurant business here.

DIAMOND THIEF CAUGHT IN INDIANA Splros Kaslopolos. alias Pete Pollus. who Is alleged to have stolen the Greenwell diamonds worth $1,000, when in (Bingham some months ago, was captured this week In Gary, In diana. and an officer was sort to that city to bring him back to Bingham. It appears that the prisoner was In .Bingham only for a short time, but while here he rented a safety bor and later on claimed that he had lost his keys. Following this he must have found the keys for he used them to open the box when the box belonged to another party and secured the dia-monds. Then he left town. Since that time the police hnve been quietly looking for him, and n few I days ago located him In the Indiana jtown. The officers there arrestod lilm for a slacker and he at once had n suspicion that It was the diamonds they were after, and lie Is said to have exclaimed, "I did not. st al the dia-monds."
