Father Diss, a native of France, who talked most Interestingly on the sec-tion of the country where the great battle is now raging. Then followed a' song by the choir and another by Mrs. L. L. White. The chief speaker of the evening was Hon, Frank Holman of the Salt Lake bar, who delivered a strong, im-pressive and scholarly address on the-Ue- Cross work and a thrilling sketch of Teutonic history. In developing his subject he told of the founding Of the Red Cross and what gave rise to its formation into an organization and how it received its name. With refer-ence to its history It sprang into life-ddrin-the Crimean war in 1854 when Florence Nightingale organized a lit-tle band of workers to administer to the wounded soldiers on the field of battle. The results (were so good that the Incident later attracted Interna-tional attention. A conference was held in Switzerland and when the or-ganization was effected its name was suggested by the flag of that country, which is a red field with a white cross. The colors of the flag were reversed for the organization, making it a white ; .Held with a red cross. He then elucl-- ; dated at length on the history of the German imperial family, showing that , It had always been devoted to militar-ism, and as it grew In strength It never hesitated to conquer, subdue and an-nex a smaller neighbor. In speaking , of what has been termed the stupidity of German diplomacy, he said that the military leaders' were not inclinod to bothsr with this matter as they ex-pected to conquer Uie world, and did not care to allow diplomats to interfere with their military plans. He spoke for more th.in an hour, and the audi-ence was highly pleased with the ad-- i dret-s- . This was followed by musical selec-tions and the benediction was pro-nounced by iBishop Wright BltlfIS II I , TOP IH RED CROSS DRIVE The Town of Bingham Canyon Is Perhaps the First Town in the State to Go Over the Top With an Over-subscripti- on to the Second Red Cross War Fund The Total Subscription on Thursday Noon Was $10,412 or $1,692 More Than Our Quota Bingham Always Leads in Patriotic Endeavor.

When the meeting was called to order definite steps were taken to ar-range matters so that every section of the camp might be thoroughly work-t- d and that every one might have an opportunity to contribute. It was also decided in naming and placing com- - mittees that it was necessary to know just who the contributors might be and nlso the names of those who might refuse to assist.

Bingham Canyon Is Granted Divorce From The County 4 Complaint' Charges Incompatability, Infelicity, t apliclty, Failure to te and Uncermonious Ejection From the Town Hall Without Due Process of Law. (By a Visitor) After many years of wedded bliss the connubial ties that have bound the town of Bingham Canyon and the County of Salt Lake have been severed. For some time it has been known there was discord in the family and the public was not, therefore, greatly surprised when, some few weeks ago. divorce proceedings were instituted by the county on the grounds of infelicity, non-suppo- rt and . incompatability. The institution of the suit was given great publicity by the weekly and daily press and consider-able notoriety was gained through the nauseating details with which the press regaled its readers. Under the decree as ren-dered the Town will still retain its sumptuous home, while the County will have quarters in what has been known as the Blom and Winter block, but from now on will be known as the County Building of the West Mountain Mining District. It was here, in their palatial home, the county authorities were inducted Wed-nesd- av of last week, when in the presence of Assistant County Attorney Thurman, Attorneys Dudley,. Dunlavey and Cole, dis-- tinguished and brilliant members of the State Bar Association and other notables, Judge Green with dignified mien and judicial temperament called the court to order. The staid old building, which has had vicissitudes during its life, will from now on be the scene of many forensic battles between the eminent members of the law fraternity of Bingham, assisted, ever and anon, by some of the great legal luminaries of Salt Lake City the suburb of Bingham. ; With the opening of court in the new edifice a new chapter has been written in the life of the town. For many years it has been customary to hold county court in the town hall, but Bing-ham which boasts of being the greatest tonnage camp in the world is yearly taking on metropolitan airs, and tokeep pace with the trend of the times, it must have a county court as well as a city court, and it is predicted that should events develop as rapidly in the future as they have during the past rew weeks, we may expect to see the District Court seeking office rooms in the new County Building, aye, perhaps the staid and solemn Supreme Court may deign to recognize the importance of Bing-ham, as has already been done by the County Administration, and hold some of its dignified sessions in Bingham. The great min-ing camp is the great sun. at the present -- time around which revolves the other satellities. . Great are the possibilities of the camp ; what with the new county building, and the contemplated concrete highway between here and Salt Lake Bingnam's position is an enviable one. SPEEDERS PAY FINE Five n gentlemen, who had consumed entirely too much Intoxicating beverage for that number of gentlemen, found their way Into Bingham last Fri- - day afternoon and did some speeding in their auto thrt was beautiful to behold. The incident attracted the attention of the po- - f lice and the. romance of a great i trip and a good time came to judden end when the men were arrested. The next morning they had an audience with Judge John C. Green and to atone for the sins of the night before they paid fines ranging from $10 to $60. DECISMA1I0II AND ORATORICAL CON-TESTS ARE HELD The declamation contests were held last Friday night and the oratorical contest Monday night. In the decla-mation contest Ova Countryman won the Q. B. Kelly medal, and 'Lillian Chiara won the Dr. F. KStraup medal. In the oratorical contest George Mar-thak- is won the John C. Green medal. The contestants for the Q. B. Kelly medal were 'Mary Culleton Chloe Dean, William Oddie, Ruth Clays, Har-old Anderson, Fred Hosklng, Loyd Barnard, George Marthakls, Ova Coun-tryman. For the Dr. iStraup medal were (Lillian Chiara, Hugh Glenn, Pearl Adderley, Dorothy Kappele, Doris Stapleton, LeVerne Jones, Clas-t-a Paul. For the Jolm C. Green medal were Harold Anderson, Fred Mosking, Ova Countryman, (Lyon Barnard, Pete , Petchios, Chris Plates, George Martha-- . kis. In the latter contest it was first i announced that Plates had won the medal, but this announcement was due to an error in th Bumbers. , The speakers all did well and quitted - themselves In a manner which did crean Dom 10 inemueives and their teachers. From the oratory which was poured forth one could easily imagine he was listening to future statesmen, andthose who are to take a leading part in public ac-tivities in the days to come. BARBERS Villi Oil CLOSIHG TIME The new hours of opening and clos-ing thi barber shops fixed by the' com-mission did not suit the local tonsor-ia- l artists and they sent a delegation, composed of Jack Dean and George Blake to Salt Lake Wednesday to ask for a change, and they got what they asked for. They did not complain on account of the sh6rt time, but asked that they be allowed to open at 9:30 in. the morning and close at 7 :30 In the evening Instead of the plan of opening at 8:30 and closing at 6:30. Jack Dean, so it is said, made a great and eloquent speech before the commission showing why the barbers desired the change. He elucidated on the patriotism of Bingham, told that she oversubscribed her quota to the third Liberty Loan drive by $227,000, and enumerated instance after In-stance where this camp had shown its colors. He also mentioned the fact that he had three Bons in the army. Wihen he finished his speech the chair-man said- - that his argument was too good to be overlooked and he granted the request. BIHHDVAEE ROAD DISCUSSED Enthusiastic Meeting Upon This Sub-ject By the Local Commercial Club Good Speeches nu Much Enthus-iasm. An enthusiastic tteting was held In the rooms of the Bingham Commercial Club last Friday evening for the pur-pose of formulating plans for a cam-paign calling for the construction of a concrete highway connecting this city with the present paved highway ter-minating at Midvale. The meeting was not attended by as large a crowd as would otherwise have been present were It not for the fact of two or time other functions of a public nature wnicn were caunu ior the same evening. Those present, however, were extremely enthusiastic upon the subject at laBiie and unanim-ously pledged themselves to its sup-port. The meeting was opened by Mayor Kelly, who stated the object of the gathering and introduced Mr. Wm. F. Long of Salt Lake City. Mr. gave a most logical and masterful ad-dress upon the subject of permanent roads, stating facts and figuies 83 to both cost and maintenance. He also called attention to the rapid Increase of heavy traffic and the necessity of building roads of such a nature as wovld come up to both present and future requirement. He quoted many 'government statistics and calkd at-tention to the great factor that the modern rower truck was proving as a source of relief to the over-burdene- d railroads. (Mr. Long proved a thorough master of his subject and was listened to with marked attention by those present. At the close of his address he exhibited a number of stereoptlcan pictures of the latest and most ap-proved types of concrete roads in Utah and every other state In the union. Mr. Wm M. Wilson was then Intro-duced by Mayor Kelly. Mr. Wilson re-ferred to the wonderful mining inter-ests of Bingham and how essential they were prbving towards the win- - ning of the war. lie showed the pos-sibilities of IBingham from the stand-- 1 point of the tourist and declared that a road such as was being discussed, would be the means of bringing to the city thousands of automobilists who would be anxious to see the wonder of the greatest copper camp In the world. "I know it Is your Intention to some day have a road of this nature," said Mr. Wilson, "but hell is paved with good intentions, nnd good intentions alone do not accomplish much in the paving line on this mundane sphere. The only way to get what you want Is to get busy now and go out after It. If the people of Bintrham will Just put the 'pep,' push and the gli-ge- into their efforts to secure this road as they do into other personal and civic matters, there Is' no doubt in my mind as to thtlr final success." Mr Wilson also gave some interesting fats and figures regarding the de-velopment of t!:e motor truck and the relationship of that vehicle to modern business. A committee of three was appointed to draw up resolutions to be presented to the proper authorities, and the meeting adjourned with the feeling prevalent that a good start had been j made in a good ana most worthy 1 cause. BINGHAM STORES TO CLOSE AT 6:30 Beginning with June 3 the stores here will commence to close at 6:30 In the afternoon. A petition was cir-culated among the merchants and practically every merchant in Bing-ham, Highland Boy and Copperfield signed it The clerks have contended for a long time that they worked entirely too long, and have made previous at tempts at earlier closings, but this time they were backed by the United States government, and it will only be a short time now before an order will be issued by the commission fix-ing a uniform closing hour throughout the state. The object of the government is the conservation cf energy. The long hours spent In the stores after cloning time might be much better uped in war gardens. COPPERFIELD HOLDS B!E EI-R10T- 1C MEETING FOR RED CROSS The greatest patriotic rally ever held in Bingham or Copperfield took place last evening.

Mr. iMIlnno gave a speech In English end Italian which was received with great applause. Mr. Edward A Joyce then spoke on the necessity of the funds for the Red Crossr and as he has organized each committee for the patriotic meetings he spoke particularly of the necessity to curtail expenditures, conserve the food, curtail a little pleasure and give more earnest consideration to the swelling of the funds of the Red Cross. Mr. Joyce proposed to the meeting that 1 per cent of every wage earner should be contributed per month to the Red Cross, and this suggestion was taken up by the merchants and banks in Copperfield. and its success prac- - Mr. Sullivan then introduced Miss Kathrine Phillips, the English Red Cross nurae. who gave vivid accounts of her experiences during her term of service on the war-fron- t.

Also, there" was a request from George H, Chandler for permission to take out the sidewalk fronting the lot on Carr . Fork where he is erecting a new livery stable, the present walk at that place being so high as to make the lot inaccessible from the street.
