The representative of the Telegram has been trying to make business men of Bingham believe that it has a circulation of eleven hundred around the camp. The circulation manager of the Tribune for this district does not make such falsifying claims, but states that his paper has between 650 and 700 subscribers in the camp. He further stated that this was more than the Telegram had. The last count he had on them was made about the middle of December, and at that time they were actually sending 575 papers to Bingham. We are anxious to place these facts before the people of Bing-ham so that they may know who is who. The Tribune has main-tained a good circulation in Bingham for many years and the peo-ple of this community cannot be fooled between a good newspaper and a poor one. We might say in passing that the Tribune should give the people more news of what happens in this important min-ing camp than they do, and we feel sure that their circulation would grow. The people like a good reliable newspaper which tells the facts in a clear-c- ut fashion and does not distort and pad to fill space. While we are passing we wish to call your attention to the fact that the best medium for correct up-to-d- ate news is the Press-- ! Bulletin published each Friday and giving all the local and society Bingham through newspapers of Zion. They have enough to do to boost Salt Lake City, and they are doing their best. It is their business to attract the trade to Salt Lake City, not to Bingham. A Bingham merchant hasn't a ghost of a show in advertising in a a Salt Lake newspaper.

' ; v i ' Shortly before midnight Monday during the most terrific snow storm j and blizzard that has visited Bingham in several years, when the wind blew a hurricane through the narrow moun-tain defiles and the snow fell in blinding gusts, two soldiers guarding the Bingham & Garfield Railway Tun-nel No. 2, were swept from their moor-ings by an avalanche which came down the gulch, carrying away their cabin and hurling one of the men over 900 feet down the mountain side, ser-iously injuring one and slightly wounding the other. Privates Harry Albert and Carl Rhodes, both members of the 25th Co. California Coast Artillery, who are at present engaged in guarding the prop-erty of the Bingham and Garfield rail-way company at Bingham, were at post number two, situated near the Old Yampa smelter in Bingham, Just at the lower end of the Markham tun-- ' nel, when at 12 o'clock Just as they were changing guard, they were hurl-ed over the side of the mountain by a ' snowsllde, started they know not how. P Private Harry Albert was rolled down the mountain to the foot, near the Copperfield Coal company's coal yard. He immediately tried to climb back up the side of the mountain, but weakened by the cold and exposure he was unable to do so, so he began , to yell for help. Some of the residents ; heard him and immediately went out .o help him look for his comrade, j About this time Private Dowllng and , two friends, who were on their way i .home, mslied and after V few minutes were successful in locaf-tfi'- - ing the, helpless and nearly rofen form of the unfortunate soldier. Prl-vat-e Dowllng pulled him out and a team was rushed to the Bcene of the acoident and the two frozen and wounded men were rushed to the Straup hospital, where after hours of hard work Dr. F. E. Straup was suc-cessful in saving their lives. A Albert did not suffer much from the I . cold, but received some painful but not serious wounds and many bruises. He received deep and painful wounds on the arms, the left hip and a slight scalp wound. (Rhodes, the soldier who was not on guard at the time, was in the shack getting warm after having been on guard for a considerable length of time. (He was suddenly aroused by A-lbert opening the door and then im-mediately there followed one of those wild blasts of wind, sleet and snow that filled the shack full of flying snow and then they were startled by feel-i- n r their shelter belne bodilv lifted and thrown over the mountain side. Rhodes received nothing but a few bruises, but was recued In an uncon-scious condition, made so by the ter-rific cold and the wind. Rhodes was Inside and so did not have on his over-coat, and the sudden change from a warm room to the deep snow and the penetrating cold was too much for his nerves. He was suffering a collapse when removed to the hospital, he Is now suffering from what is known as demore of the lungs Dr. Straup re-ports that the man was nearly dead from exposure when he started to work upon htm. But the skill and long A experience the doctor had him in good shape and he was conscious after four j hours, A few more minutes in that snow bank would have meant death ' for him, but luckily his hand was pro-truding a ifew inches above the surface and that aided Dowllng and his asso-ciates in finding him. iPatrolman Phil Culletln was also on the Job as soon as he found out about the accident. The patrolman was there in time to help pull the man out of the snow, and great praise is due him for his sneed in reaching the scene of the accident as he did only a few minutes behind the foremost. j Tuesday the soldier boys were re- - moved to the fort hospital at Fort Douglass. The only dangerous possl-- ! bility is that Rhodes may contract pneumonia. If this should happen there would be small chance for his recovery, as it is if he is well cared for he will recover and be back in Bingham in a short time. Albert will j be released from the hospital In a i few days, as soon as his wounds are healed enough to enable him to walk. The California Coast Artillery boys that are guarding the property of the . Bingham and Garfield Railway Com- - Y- - pany here In iBIngh&m are only a small detachment of the main company, which is also guarding the Utah Cop-per Company's property at Garfield snd Magna, and are also stationed at Tooele. Last Tuesday the detachment was moved to Magna and a new squad was sent to TMngham, The two men who were hurt were of the new squad and two of the boy who are well known around town. The names of the boys who are leavln" are, as follows: Ser geant I, barely. Corporal O. Jemm. (unl rrlvates Fotthoff, Marr, Crowley, Johnson, Johnstone, Dowllng, Wald, Greeiiberg, Lefkowlt. ilowsett, Rus-sell, Shelt. iSmit.l), Scully. Sullivan, Steiger and Frank Smith.

Aldrich'a draft board will meet here Saturday for the purpose of thoroughly in' vestigating the matter of all de-- llnquents with reference to the Queationaires.

BliU STATE BANK DECLARES 500IVIDEND The annual meeting of the stock-holders of the Bingham State Bank was held here Tuesday, and the fol-lowing officers were elected: C. H. Thompson, president and di-rector; T. H. Quillen, vice president and director; 'Earl Randall, cashier and director; W. H. Shearman, direct-or; S. J. Hays, director; R. P. Unan-de- r, assistant cashier. At the meeting of the directors the usual dividend of 60 per cent was de-clared. . - MAN'GER OF BINGHAM MINES I HAS TAX FIGURED OUT To Imer Pett, general manager of the Bingham Mines company, is due the distinction of being the first man in Utah to rightly figure out . the much discussed excess profits tax. Mr. Pett, it is understood, has been wrestling with the problem for some time and recently submitted a schedule to the Utah Chapter of the American (Mining Congress. This was wired to IA. G, Mackenzie secretary of the chapter, who Is now at Wash ington, and after conferring "with" of-ficials at the seat of government Mr. Mackenzie wired back as follows: . "Pett is right. iUnder treasury de-cision 2C02, issued Dec. 3, deduction is to be made under 20 per cent bracket. If any portion of deduction remains it will be allowed under second bracket and continued into succeeding brack-ets until the entire amount of deduc-tion is allowed." Mining men who have studied the question may know wnat that menns but it is a safe guefs that very few others do. Under the schedule, it ap-pears, excess profits are arrived at by deducting profits made in pre-wa- r times from those accruing after war had been declared; in other words, by deducting normal earnings from the abnormal due to the war, then apply-ing the tax rate as laid down in the federal law. This provides that-- the question of Invested capital must first be determined, after which the tax is based on a sliding scale of percent-ages, 15 per cent of the Invested capi-tal to be subject to a 20 per cent tax after deductions, 20 per cent to a 23 per cent tax. 25 per cent to a 35 per cent tax, 33 per cent to a 45 per cent tax and the balance to a 60 per c?nt tax,. The brackets referred to in Mr. Mackenzie's telegram are the percent-ages, while it is provided that the nor-mal earnings must not exceed 9 per cent of the maximum exemption. Stock Dividends. The decision excluding stock divi-dends from taxation, local people say, is of great importance, as there had been some uncertainty here as to whether the stock dividends paid dur-ing 1917 by such institutions as Z. C. M. I., several sugar companies and others would be liable to assessment The ruling seems to indicate that they are not. Should Be Considered For The Good of Bingham . . (Contributed) In last week's issue The Press-Bullet- in outlined a number of contemplated acts on the part of the new city administration. Among methods for ;jraisinjj additional; revenues, , was mentioned increase of water rates. . f ' v ' ' f " r In this regard, numerous complaints put forth by citizens liv-ing in Carr Fork especially, have reached this office. Not that these people would work in opposition to the city fathers far from it but that they would look out for themselves. For the water which is furnished by the city to the people living in Carr Fork is of such a contaminated character that it cannot be used for household purposes at all. This necessitates these families to carry all their drinking and cooking water, most of it being secur-ed at the tap situated just above the American Express Com-pany's office. The Carr Fork people would gladly pay the increased water rates if they were furnished with good water in their homes. But the water they do get is too dangerous to use for household pur-poses, and it puts them to great inconvenience to be obliged to carry their drinking and cooking water in all sorts of rainy or snowy weather. This is a matter that the administration would do well to look into before rearranging the schedule of rates for the city water service. STANDiSH PRESENTED WITH HANDSOME JEWEL BY MACCABEES At the meeting of the Maccabees lodge held .Wednesday evening of this week in social hall, H. N. Standlsh was presented with a beautiful Jewel by tSupreme Commander D. P. Markey. The presentation was made by Dr. J. C. Hanchett, of Salt Lake City, since the supreme commander was unable to be present. The Jewel was beauti-fully engraved and was given as a token of IMr. Standlsh's service of nearly 25 years for this organization. He has been commander of the lodge for several years and has taken a very active part in the big drive for mem-bership recently. This was followed by a program of-fered by the soldiers and an exhibition drill by a bunch of Lieut. Tjader's men under his command. These men are a part of the California Coast Ar-tillery which are stationed here. Music and mirth was the program of the evening and every one spent a most pleasant evening. - Wrestling, and boxing followed the program. OR. A. L IHGIESBY IS : - Dr. A. L. Inglesby was this week ap-pointed dental examiner for the local draft board by Dr. William G. Delryra-pi- e, of Ogden, who Is the state direct-or for Utah of the Preparedness Lea- - . gue of American Dentists. Dr. W. A. Marshall will act at IMidvale and Dr. Wallace Mace at Garfield. The government aims to be very strict in the matter of good teeth, and all registrants will be required to pass a minute dental examination as well as a general physical examination. The rigors of stern warfare necessi-tate ample masticating qdalltlea. De-cayed teeth are more ban liable to ache when the soldiers are obliged to sleep In tents and labor in cold and damp places. At the same time the "canned" food, such as hard-tac- etc., . which they carry with them, requires strong, healthy teeth to pronerly chew it, and if this cannot be done, mal-nutrition and improper nourishment will result. The instructions also urge that all abscessed roots and teeth be extracted, as they are foci of countless bodily infections and make the soldier liable to sickness and disease. The physical examinations for the recond draft will commence In a few days and the examining physicians and dentists will be busy men during the test period. The instructions arc issued by the dental committee of the general medi-cal board of the Council of National Defense, which is the agencv for the medical and dental preparedness in this war emergency, acting under the direction of the Surgeon General's of-fice, headquarters war department, Washington, SD. C. Charts are to be filled out, showing a complete record of the oral condi-tion of each recruit. These records are to be filed with the secretary of the hoard for future reference. 13y thus accurately axamining the teeth of ea h registrant before he coos to a cantonment camp the government will be saved much trouble and money in numerous cases where certain men would later have to be sent home at government expense because of in-adequate and unsanitary dental condi-tions, and the resultant incapability of the recruit. E. H, BARLOW IS HURT IH HEAD OH COLLISION F. H. Barlow, engineer of a com- - j pressed air dinkey operating on the Utah-Ape- x grade of the Bingham & Garfield railroad, suffered a fractured skull last Saturday evening as a re-sult of a head-o- n collision and is now undergoing treatment at St. Mark's hospital in Salt Lake. Some parts of this line the grade is so steep that compressed air has to be used to drive the engines to the summit. iBarlow had applied all the air his engine contained and was sky-rocketing up the hill when anothe. dinkey came'down the grade. Thero j was a collision with a terrific crash In which the engineer was knocked unconscious. While his injury is of a serious na--! ture, it is thought he will recover un-- , less complications set In. nCM KIXIDA JAPANESE K!LLED0Y All ENGINE Iwakichi Iliklda, Japanese, age 51 years, who was water boy in gang 3 at the Utah Copper, was struck by an en-gine and instantly killed at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. . iHe was walking along the track car-- ! rylng two buckets of water when the train rounded a sharp curve near him.

Green. From the evidence It appeared that Meusel, who was familiar with the ins and outs of the place, and who also carried a key, entered the market at a late hour at night, accompanied by a friend who was In, need of some of the good things contained In the market. It also appeared that goods had been missed ttnje and again from I the market during the past few weeks and that the proprietor placed a sen itinel, Andrew I.Mayer, to wutch the place by night. While Mr. iMayer was on guard he saw the defendant and another man enter the market by a side door and a while later saw them come out and move off up the street.
