The meeting was proBided ov-er by Mayor Q. B. Kelley and mem-bers of the committee from various sections of the camp took an active part in the work at hand. While the deliberations of this- - body were se-cret, the important matters of vital Interest to the public were given tQ the press. - Recently it was decided by the state-authoritie-s which have charge of the-closln-g hours that It would be better , to allow each community to fix these hours to conform with local cond-l- , tlons, the same to be adjusted by the committee of public safety. The con-ditions in IBingham are different from other towns and it la almost lm-- ' , perattve that the restaurants be kept open during the night In order that the miners who work on night shifts-migh- t be accommodated. And in addition to this matter s thought wise that deputy sheriffs should be placed In. Copperfield and' Highland Boy to enforce the closing: regulations and for the enforcement of the law. Almost as many people live In Copperfield and (Highland Ooy as in IBingham and to properly sup-ervise those ' communities it was thought well that the county should place a deputy at both places, Cop-perfield and Highland Boy are both unincorporated towns and do not, have local officers. The resolutions prepared at this meeting reud as, follows" ' -- RESOLurroN To Salt Lake County Commissioners, John . Corless. Sheriff, and W. F. Jensen, Commissioner of Commercial Economy, Gentlemen: , 1, The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the Commit-tee of Public Safety, representing the Bingham District, in meeting assem-bled at the Commercial Club, August 2, 1918: .

Secretary. iif nti i TO Oil BOOZE Some Defender Of Booze In Bingham Writes Letter To County Sheriff Warning Him Not To Destroy Any More Booze In Bingham Or The Sheriff And His Deputies May . Come In Contact With Nitroglycerine He States That Some Of The Miners Are Connected With The I. W. W. People Of Bingham Consider Same As A Joke Some Say The Deputies Do Not Waste The Booze. ' , In the Salt (Lake Tribune, Wed-nTsda- y was a lengthy article and a copy of a letter received by Sheriff Corless from a Bingham man who in-dicated that there would be danger to his men in case they continued to de-- , stroy liquor or if they kopt up the work of preventing its free and un-- i limited passage Into this territory. The Tribune tskes the letter seriously but it is not likJy that the sheriff 1 does. It appears on the face that it was written by some one who wanted to kid the sheriff a little. He evl- - . dently knew that the sheriff and his ) deputies did not break bottles of ' boore. No there would be little dan-- ' ger from nitroglycerine along that line. When they find a bottle of booze they carefully uncork the same to avoid spilling the same and then they take the necessary steps to find for a certainty Just what the bottle ' contahiB. Now The Tribune says the ' sheriff told it that the bottles were tforf broken, but that the contents hereof were poured into sewers. That does not Bound good at all If he used the word "sewer" wjth its generally accepted meaning, but It is difficult to know Just what he d'd mean when he said the booze was emptied into sewers. 'Booze fighters sometimes' give a restricted meaning to this word, and HJSlght be the. sheriff had this in mCu when he talked to The Trib-- une. but of course it is not our bust-nes- s to interpret these things The letter wfiM the sheriff Tecetvedwas 4ate6 at Bingham and reads as fol-- ' '''" " lows: ;' Mr Jack PorleVn:-- ' ' " You want to slow up on this whis-key b(HfrMs. Some of it has been doped Vith notroglycerine and when you break a bottle it will explode and bUm-yo- u to pieces, as some of the nrrs are associated with the I. W. W.,' and there is some dynamite laid ready to touch off at some of the sta-tions in the canyons where the offic-ers have their cabins. As a miner and member, of the F. O. E. and I. O. O. F., 1 warn you. You know whiskey Is the first aid given to us if an acci-- j dent happens to us in the mines and ; If we ae deprived of It we shall re-- 1 taliate. , ' The matter. The Tribune says, has been turned over to the postal auth-orities to determine, If possible, the Identity of tho author, and if he is apprehended he will be tried for blackmailing. It looks like it might be easy to catch Mm since the letter was written with a pencil, but may be this w'll not be worked verv hed un-til some bottles of booze explodes or until one of the canyons Inhabited by the officers is blown up. The above is the cut of eight Bingham High School boys who are all in the service of Uncle Sain and with the exception of one are now in France. Reading across they are: Elmer vi- - Eden, in the Navy at Honolulu; Robert A. Wilson, Field Artillery in France; Clyde Tibbies, Field Artillery in France ; Vernon M. Guymon, Marines in France; Alphon so Terry, Infantry in France; George E. Marshall, Marines in France; William McDonough, Infantry in France ; Thomas Wilson, Field Artillery in France. TOl'JII BOARD HAS DISCUSSION OF BUSINESS All mc;mberB of the torn board were present at the meeting Wednesday night and after the transaction of the routine buslneas entered into the l!scuBsion of many matters pertain-ing to the welfare of the town. One of the first things considered was that of a better water supply. The borrd now has under considera-tion a proposition to secure water from Middle Canyon from J. A. Kauf-man, and George EJarl was before the board to explain how this water may be secured. Another matter of Interest taken up was that of having (Bingham, changed officially from a town to a city.' It was noted that the etate Is full of cities not half as large as Bingham and that cities nave more rights than do mere towns. Also the matter of extending the corporate limits was discussed. This would mean the taking In of Upper Blnghum and Highland 'Boy and make one big city out of the combination. Neither Copperfield nor Highland Boy is Incorporated and It is likely that they would be pleased to be ln side the limits. ..... .:.,.- - , George Chochosr proprietor bf " the Chocolate Shop, appeared before the board to take up the matter of his ' 'dancing pavilion. lie said that he was running a nice, clean place and that he catered to the best people In the camp and he thought that the closing of his dancing department was not necsary. The boa,rd informed" htm that it was opposed to the operation of a dancing pavilion In connection with a candy store. No action was taken on this matter, but will be fur-ther considered at another meeting. JUDGE J. C. GREEN IS RECEIVING Ell-DORSEM-ENTS Since the name of Judge John C. Green was proposed for county com-missioner 'some weeks ago he baa been receiving many endorsements and quite a number of people in this end of the county are anxious for him to receive the nomination, end they feel sure that should he be nom-inated there would be no doubt of his election. Those who speak of him say that he Is the best available man to represent v this end of the county and that there is no question , but what the (Bingham district is entitled to a member on the county board of commissioners. Our (Lark corres-pondent last week voiced the senti-ment of the community when be wrote the following lines: "Bingham and district Is entitled to a county commissioner. John C. Green is a possible candidate. 'Let us each ono and. all dfe our utmost lor hia nomination. Judge Green's Im-partiality and fairness should receive the hearty support of the commu-nity.", ...v. . s Our versatile scribe' from Lark be-lieves in batting a thing square be-tween the eyes and there Is no mis-taken what his position Is on the pro-posed candidacy of Judge Green. In other words he is for Judge Green through and through and he believes that the thing to do now is to work for his nomination. For nearly six months the people of this community have been making 'the contention that Bingham should have one of the county commission-ers, Bingham In the most Important section of the county from a business standpoint and it should havo a place on the board which directs the finan-cial affairs of the county, but Salt Lake County is not going to hand It to Bingham on a waiter. If the peo-ple of this end of the county want representation on the county board they must get up on their hind legs and demand It, and there is no use In waiting until the last minute to do it. Speak out now, Don't wait until the issue la decided. .

There were iaboiit thirty of the vlfcitrrs from Logan and" they came in rars.. The party was headed by E. R, Owen, prcBldentof the Logan Commercial Boosters Club. They have visited a number of townB in the state. When the Boosters reached Bin g-- 1 ham they were at once taken In hand by the Commercial Club and were taken to various points of interest In and about the camp. They were shown over the wonderful Uiah Cop-per hill where the greatest copper mine in the world Is being operated and while here they were shown many courtesies by the local organiz-ation. The (Boosters were pleased with their trip to Bingham and found it to bo one of the most delightful places they have visited, , IIEl'J STAGE LIIIE IS PROBABLE .;..t;,...,.. it ..,,; ....

BY SCORE OF 3 TO 2 The ball toam Journeyed around the foot hills last Sunday to meet (Lark in one of the mo3t bitterly contested games of tho season. They came to-gether on Lark battlefield which we will call Little Round Top tho 2nd, it ia situated on top of one of the hills near Lark, and If the fans in Bingham thing it Is hard work to get to the grounds, you should see the fans struggling up the sides of the mountain to seo the games in lLark. They surely like baseball over there, and afUr the smoke and dust of the battle are cleared away, lLark had the Bingham boys defeated. "Lark certainly has a nice ball club, but Manager DetLaney says when the boys come over here a week from Sunday and Bingham has all her players on the field there will be a different story to tell. there is every reason to believe that before long the greatest boom in real estate ever known in this country will be launched. Men with money to in-vest cannot ignore this fact, and the man who gets In on the ground floor will have something more valuable than those who locate a new oil field. VALUE OF FARM LANDS BOUND TO INCREASE Some local interest is now being taken in the matter of farm lands, and those who have their minds in that direction are going to be winners. The great possibility of reaping prosperity from invet'ng In farm lands was never so great as at present Owing to the economic conditions brought about by the entrance of this country into the war, there was a marked de-pression in real estate values. People turned their attention to other mat-ters In the way of Investments, but a change is now coming and when farm lands take a turn upwards there Is no telling how high the price will go before it etops. The demand for th products. There is nothing that t will take the place of the farm and RUTH REBEKAH 100GE HAVJEjftjGREAT OUTING The local organization of Ruth hs had a great outing at Liberty Park in Salt iLeko last Saturday. The party was composed of sixteen ladies and they spent the day plcknicing in the beautiful park.

Miller of this place, and John Taylor of American Fork returned home Sunday from Currant Creek, where they pint several days teasing the trcut in that stream. The deputy sheriff says that he , was' the only man in the crowd who knew how to catch trout, and also that he was the only one well versed In the culinary art Therefore he had to catch the fish and cook them, too, but the other members of the party were experts when it came to the matter of eating the fish. The depnJy sheriff says that there is a science in catching trout and that a man who is not onto the game etands no chance at bagging them.' Deputy Kenner is a fisherman nil right, no ront'er what the variety ofi fish might be In fact, he is the champion fish catcher of the camp (he champion flBtiennan , Samnol Leavitt, of Provo, so bad that he would quit the fishing business en-tirely.'
