Woodring Gets Promise from the County Commissioners After Presenting a Petition to Have the Paved Road, Com-pleted and the Balance of the Road Graded and Worked. Bingham Pays a Large Percentage of the Taxes of Salt Lake County and is Entitled to Better Roads. - The road to Bingham will be paved for another mile and a half and the balance of the road will be graded and worked down so that same will be passable by automobile in the very near future, acording to an agreement reached by the county commissioners I of Salt Lake county and W. H. Wood-rin- g and other business men of Bing-ham who waited on the commisison-- ' ers a few days ago with a long peti-tion of prominent signers fr.om the camp and prominent mining men liv-ing in Salt Lake City and Bingham. County Commissioners C. J. Still-ma-promised to pave the road to Bingham first if the bond issue car-ried last year. Bingham voted heav-ily in favor of the bond issue with this understanding in mind. Now we shall wait patiently for one month, as this was the time in which the com-missioners agreed to have this work ' done on the roads, and if they do not deliver the goods in that time then we will have something worse to say. In fact we had decided to pounce upon "Brother" Stillman this week but on bearing of the pledge for better roads to the- - camp we are willing to wait a short spell. Dr. A. L. Inglesby cites the fact that 72 per cent of the taxes of the county outside of Salt Lake City are paid by Bingham and if this Is true it is ce tainly a raw deal to null the con-tractors off cf t'e job of paving the Bingham road and Hkc them to some other part of the county. Th8 Bing-.-. ""ham peopl .assert. that ...thisi is what was actually done. , If there is a road which is used more than the Bingham road we would like to know which one it is. Yet the roads from the pave-ment to the limits of the town are al-most impassable. No work has been done on them this summer and they certainly are in a deplorable condi-tion. IIIDElIlill STRONG S1ATE 1IHEI Thos. N. Taylor Chosen for Governor on First Ballot at Demo-cratic State Convention. Congressman Milton H. Welling Will Run Against Senator Smoot. Strong Ticket Named Through-out and Candidates Well Distributed Geographically. Three Non-Mormo- Are on the Ticket. The Convention Was Thor-oughly Typical of a True Democracy. The state Democratic convention held last Monday in Salt Lake City typified more nearly the true and ancient type of a pure democracy than anv meeting of its kind held in, this state for years. The selfish greed of the human race seened to be lost in the desire of every delegates to nomi-nate the best ticket possible. Success crowned these efforts and perhaps never in the history of the party has the ticket been so well distributed in a geographical sense. On the orher hand the ticket is well balanced as far as the dominant church and" the Gentile population is concerned. Three of the leading positions on th state ticket were handed over to tin last named division of the party, viz: judge of the supreme court, attorney general and superintendent of public instruction. The Utah county delegation went to the convention determined to land one position on the ticket and they stuck to this idea tenaciously. Hon. Thomas N. Taylor was named as th candidate for governor on the first ballot. His vote was 371 to 2G9 for Hon. James H. Moyle. These were the only two candidates nominated for the office of governor. Judge Wil-son McCarty placed the name before the convention quite a number of seconding speeches were made from other counties besides the two by Judge James B. Tucker and County Attorney J. W. Robinson. The Salt Lake delegation had urged Mr. Moyle to enter the race previous to the con-vention but he had steadfastly re-fused." However, after the nomination of a candidate for senator he per-mitted his name to be presented. A large majority of the delegates came to the convention with their minds made up to support T. N. Tay-lor and they never changed. Salt Lake county gatf almost one-hal- f of its vote to the Utah county nominee and the "cow counties" came in strong. The state Democratic convention like the national convention ha3 thrown a harpoon into the Republi-can ranks and they are scrambling in every direction today trying to save the day for their party. The remark is heard on every hand, "That is the best balanced ticket I have ever known a party to place before its con-stituency." This remark comes from progressive and the independent class of voters. Milton H. Welling, congressman from the First district, was chorion to load the state ticket as the party's candidate for United States senator after scenes seldom witnessed In a political convention. Mr Wellings keynote address stampeded the con-vention and when the nominations were opened the presentation of his name by W. R. Wallace sent the con-vention into an uproar. James H. Moyle, whom many mem-bers of the party had expected to draft to run against Senator Reed Smoot, as he did six years ago, was placed in nomination by Mr. Welling ' after his own name had been pre-sented, but' Mr. Moyle, expressing his gratitude, declined to run. State Senator Culbert L- - Olson was Mr. Welling's only regularly nom-inated opponent and the result of the vote 520 2 for Welling, 90 for Olson and 34 for Moyle expressed the de-sire dt the convention. Stephens and Mulr Chosen. Previously, while waiting for the re-port of the platform committee, the convention had suspended its rules and had named Judge Harold M. Stephens of Salt Lake as its candidate for supreme court, ten-yea- r term, and Leo J. Muir of Bountiful for state superintendent of public instruction, both by acclamation. Judge J. D. Call of Mount Pleasant withdrew at the last moment as a can-didate for the nomination given Mr. Stephens. Shortly after Mr. Stephens' nomination lie was called to the plat-form and made a brief address. After the reading of the official call of the convention by State Secretary Paul H. Ray. State Chairman H. L. Mulliner read his address of welcome, in which he gave expression to issues of the campaign, naming among these the sugar question, giving responsi-bility for the alleged profiteering to members of the opposition party and ascribing to them the defense of the situation which resulted in the indict-ments of officials of the Utah-Idah- Sugar company and others. Strongly upholding the league of na-tions Idea as promoted by James M. Cox. the Democratic candidate for president, Mr. Mulliner said that the voters of Utah will support that con-ception. Music Fills Lull. Tills again loft the convention with-out anything to do. Someone called for speeches from the candidates nominated so far, and J. F. Tolton and Mr. Durham of Cache were sent out (Continued on Page 8) SIDEOTSSfllD UP flARKKAM GULCH The extension oJj the sidewalks up Markham has beer started this week by. ' Watermaster Wr. Robbins and good progress is being made. The lay-ing the water mains was completed last week In record time and the con-crete walks are now being pushed with vigor. About 700 feet of con-crete walk will be laid up this gulch and will give the people of this sec-tion the best sidewalks in the state an also a splendid water supply. The town board is to be congratu-lated on these splendid improvements at the minimum cost to the taxpayers. A ' saving of more than one-ha- lf has been effected by doing this work by day's labor rather than by contract. BINGHAM MURDER CASE TO BE HEARD One of the cases to come early to trial is that of Steve Radich, charged with second degree murder for the j alleged slaying of Joe S'avan, by beat-ing him to deaath with a pick handle' in Bingham Canyon in April. The people of the camp will recall this case quite vividly since the de-tails have been told through the col-umns of this paper. It is alleged that Radich waited at the top of the mine until Savan came up on the hoist and then jumped upon him. They had had trouble before leaving the lower work-ings of the mine. The murder at the tunnel of the Apex mine. FIRST BET ON GOVERNOR OFFERED. Deputy Sheriff Oscar Fullmer of Bingham has offered to wager R. T. Dahlquist $10 that T. N. Taylor will be elected over Charles R. Mabey, the Rpubll- - can nominee. Thus far the dep- - uty sheriff states that the banker has failed to cover his money. This wager will be fol- - lowed with interest all over the state because it is perhaps the first bet made since the nomi- - nation of the candidate on the ' Democratic ticket. LARK CASE DISMISSlD IN BINGHAM JUSTICE COURT AlmaHemingsen, Wi.Iard Crittend-e- r and John Dwight were found not guilty by Justice- of the Peace John C. Green Wednesday. They were charged by Tom Komatas with having killed a .calf belonging to him. There was no evidence submitted. connecting the men with the crime. It is believed that this Greek some-times has dizzy spells which affect his mental state- - ' EIGHT PAGES FOR THE PRESS BULLETIN ' The Bingham Press-Bulleti- n has been running only four pages during the summer and the dull season owing to the scarcity of print paper. But now that the fall season is approaching we are starting to run eight pages with this issue. We trust that our advertisers will' begin to get back in and help keep a real news paper running in the great copper camp. on the part of all will help very materially. Read the state and national news ' on the inside pages of the paper this week., BINGHAM SHOOLS OPEN NEXT TUESDAY The Bingham schools will open next Tuesday, September 7. The teachers and principals are in Sandy this week attending Institute and a number of them have ' been here looking for places to room and board. One of the teachers comes from Minnesota and anotherrom Michigan and per-haps the ethers are from other states. BIG REDUCTION IN WAR RISK RATES IS VERY LIKELY Washington, D. C. Likelihood of the reduction of rates on war risk in-surance held by former soldiers is seen by officials here, as a result of the good health of the men. At present they are dying only about one-thir- d as fast as the average death rate, and the government is finding out that the already low rates are1 more than sufficient to cover the risk on the former soldiers. With mortality rates only about 40 per cent of nor-mal, it is believed the insurance rates can be cut nearly one-hal- f. Officials ascribe the good health records of the men to their youth and the training and care they received in service. - ,MACABEES OUTING JTejlVidy Vaccabees of Bingham are holding nTw outing and picnic in Liberty park today, v. Three automo-biles left camp this morning and will spend the entire day at this beautiful playground. The Vincent B. Costello post of Washington, D. C., following out the Legion's plan of caring for wounded service men gave an excursion and athletic carnival at Chesapeake Beach at which thirty-fiv- e patients from the Walter Reed hospital, forty-fiv- e from the navy hospital and ten from Fort Myer hospital, were present as guests. UNITED) 8TATES QIVILi 8ERVICE COMMISSION The United States Civil Service Commission announces that a clerk-carri-examination in the postoffice civil service will be held in the near future for positions in this city. There has been considerable difficulty in obtaining eligibles to fill these posi-tions, and all persons who can qualify are urged to enter this examination. Application .blanks and further in-formation may be obtained from the local secretary, Board of U. S-- Civil Service examiners, at the Bingham Canyon postoffice. ' high speed against a head wind meets only with increasing resistance, but when the wind favors, the winged air-ma- n spurns the slow fellow creeping on wheels below. With accelerated speed he passes over mountain an5 sea, and If need be, vaults over clouds. If the aviator Is not content with this speed, he has only to climb to upper levels where the flow of air increases to 30 and even 40 meters per second, and in this stream he would move along with a speed rela-tive to the earth of 200 milen per hour. These are not extreme values. In a stiff northwester, which the writer experienced in a flight a considerable time ago, the wind blew for 72 con-secutive hours 7,563,000 meters, which i3 nearly 30 meters per sscond. ThT3 is equivalent to going 4,700 miles in three days, or twice the distance 'rom Labrador to England. The highest speed of the wind for any single hour was 164,000 meters (102 mil.?s). For a period of about 15 minutes .he rate was about 137 miles per hour, or swifter than the average person can ordinarily comprehend. SOME FACTS ABOUT NAVIGAHONJN THE AIR (By Lieut Elmer E. Adams, U. S. A., A. S.) Editor "Steam Shovel and Dredge": It is admitted without controversy that the nearer we are to the danger line the most fascinating Is the thrill of satisfaction which we experience, hence for the moment the - reader-shoul-eliminate from his mind the frequent references that are made to the picturesque stunts which so often result in fatalities, as these have no place in actual science of air naviga-tion and ought not be considered even as typical of flying activities now be-coming so general in many portions of the world and which seem to at-tract so much attention from the reading public. In a recent flight which nearly touched the altitude record the writer found trade winds moving with a registered velocity of 200 miles an hour. This height, it should be under-stood, was far above the clouds. The physics and chemistry of the atmos-phere at great heights are fairly well understood, yet the geography of the air remains an unsurveyed and al-most an unknown pathway, but this needed information is gradually being supplied by aerial flights. It is conceded that there are well-marke- d areas, levels and zones in what might be termed an ' inverted bowl, and though not visible to us, there are mighty currents of air rush-ing on for miles of space, pressing vertically as well as horizontally. Likewise, there are. vast calm areas, stagnant pools, choppy seas and re-gions of 'great violence. The air navigator is just learning that there are numerous layers in the atmosphere, all of which must be pa-tiently studied and explored before airships may travel with greater safe-ty. In flying, men will use the lower strata designated as the cloud levels. Above the clouds are unknown heights which it will be necessary to explore and chart. This is not practical to do by airplanes or dirigibles, sound-ing balloons of the aerographer being required for the task. It might be stated in passing that there can be no geography of the air, for there are no continents, oceans or visible geographical features in this "inverted bowl" called the "sky." We look clear through the atmosphere up into the heavens, and, except for pass-- ' ing clouds, we know that there is nothing to be seen. If the density of the atmosphere remained constant it could all be com-pressed into a layer about five miles thick. If this were the case, the highest mountain peaks would stand out in space, piercing the homogeneous atmosphere. But the density decreases with elevation, and when the aviator reaches an altitude of 10,000 meters he is in a medium .which is only about one-thir- d as dense as at the ground. Above this level there are never any clouds. The greatest discovery thus far made in exploring the air is that the atmosphere consists of two thick layers, the lower extending from sea level up to 10,000 meters, in which there is a steady fall of temperature and elevation. This is known as the treposphere. Above this there is no full and up to 20,000 meters, a slight rise. The upper layer is called the stratosphere. In this day of d air-planes it is possible to rise from the ground to the bottom of the strato-sphere, about six miles, in one hour, but if we wish to explore somewhat higher, say 20 miles, we must install light Instruments on a sounding bal-loon.

Art Taylor post of AJo, Ariz., located in western Pima county, is 100 miles from the nearest town and with a membership of sixty-si- x has started a fund for a permanent home. SLENDER INCOMES Willi STILL G0AL0NG WAY Beating the High Cost of Living Largely a Matter of Judicious, Intelligent) Buying. Although the prices of certain com-modities are declining, many food costs are as high as ever, and are still straining slender incomes to the breaking point. In fact, some food prices may rise rather than fall in the next few months. But the situation may not be with-out a ray of hope if re believe the statements of prominent food econo-mists. Their feeling is that Adequate and plentiful nutrition depends not so much upon the relation of incomes to price, as upon the Intelligence of tho woman guarding the family lower prices, they say, but judicious and careful buying is the need right now. Getting the most for the money is the big thing. There are some food products which give much greater value per dollar than others. Women who use thought in buying food with the greatest nutri-tive value are the ones feeling least the pinch of the d H. C. L. Take the common bean, one of the food staples which as yet lags in cost far behind other food products. Pound for pound, baked beans con-tain more energy and body building elements than either meat or eggs, and prepared in the right way their appetizing flavor lends a delightful cloak to economy. Beans are fully as good as most foods, and much more nutritious; they simply cost less. Tho wise buyer, too, knows that real economy lies in buying such staples ready prepared. Otherwise wastage and the heavy fuel cost of long cooking cut out most of the economy and saving. In this connection, certain manu-facturers of food products are taking the initiative in pointing the way for the American public to economize along these very lines. One of these, the California Packing corporation, is now telling the housewives of Amer-ica of the food value and the delicious-nes- s of its baked beans. In its sug-gestions for the frequent and differ-ent uses of baked beans as an every-day food it is pointing the way to real economy. Such constructive publicity does a social good. Not only does it in-crease the sales of a particular com-pany on a quality products, but i teaches its customers a valuable lesson in practical saving. Careful buying of such nutritious, inexpensive food staples as Del Monte Means, stimulated if necessary by the manufacturing companies themselves, should do a great deal to help shrink-ing incomes adequately provide for hungry families. A reception and ball, theater parties for delegates and a sightseeing trip by special train to Tia Juana, across the Mexican line, were on the pro-gram of the second annual conven-tion of the Department of California, held at San Diego. BINGHAM OTHERS DISPLAY APPRECIATIOpF LIBRARY Bingham is a community of honest men and women, and boys and girls, too, for that matter. The same is un-doubtedly true of many other commun-ities in Utah, but Miss Mary E. Down-ey has the undisputable proof, she says, in the case of Bingham. Miss Downey is state library organizer, and has been keenly interested in the ef-forts being made to establish a library at Bingham on a sound financial foot-ing. The library room was opened some months ago and since that time had been in constant use by large num-bers daily. Owing to financial and other reasons, it has been impossible to have an attendant in charge at all times. In spite of the fact that the rooms and the books it contained were freauently left without any person in charge, not a single book has been lost during the existance of the li-brary, Miss Downey is informed. "I think that is a remarkable rec-ord," she asserted yesterday, "and speaks- - mighty highly for the char-acter of the citizenship of Bingham." Miss Downey reports that the teachers of Jordan school district, which includes Bingham and the south end of Salt Lake county, have voted to put 'on a library collection drive. She estimates that about 30,-00- 0 volumes will thus be obtained, ' which will go largely to the increas-ing of the library of Jordan high school, the surplus and duplicates to go to the libraries at Sandy, Draper, Bingham and other communities in the district.

The new roof is practically completed and work is being started on the retlnibering of the third story Very little damage was done to the timbers on the second floor but great damage was done to the furnishings. George Pryanovich is having the work done and is the owner of the building. Clark McConnell returned from the summer in California. He was along the coast for nbout three months and greatly enjoyed his vacation in the golden state. Trins by water to the Legion con-vention at Cleveland, Sept. 27, 28 and 29, are rapidly springing into favor. The Charles S. Learned post of Detroit will bring 1,000 Legionnaires to Cleve'and on a specially-chartere- d boat and jChicngo Post has arranged for two boats to accommodate be-tween 2,000 and 3,000 Legionnaires. A movement is on foot to have every big city on the Great Lakes charter at least one or two boats, as in this way the problems of transportation, meals and housing will be solved for Legion-naires at a single stroke.
