AUGUST 6. 1925 , , NO. 32 BIfJGHAM GARAGE ; IN NEW BUILDING Largest Garage in State Nean Com-pletion Most Modern Edifice of Its Kind Ready for Ocejppancy. The Bingham- - Garage and Storage have taken possession of their new garage on Main street, and with the completion of this wonderful edifice conies the realization that this town is endowed with the largest, most modern garage i th state of Utah. .Although there is stitl a 4Jtl. work to be done on the ground floor, which space will occupy the sales rooms and shops, the building is near , enough completed to allow the two propri-etors, Adderley and Nichols, to oc- - cupy the Jiuge structure. . Concrete forms which have adorned the building for the past month have been removed, and from the outside the building takes on the aspect of one of the greatest achievements of the jrear, as a monument to the faith in Bingham Canyon by the Bingham Stage Lines, who built'the building. To appreciate the enormity of the building, one must take a trip thru this monstrous structure. In the cen-ter of the building, which . has s frontage of 140 feet, with a depth of 126 feet, is located the service sta-tion. It is drive-i- n affair, thus elim-inating a congested condition on the street. The space allotted for the ser vice department, where gas and oil are sold at Salt Lake City prices, is wide enough for two cars, thus as-suring1 the prospective patron 6f speedy as well as efficient service. Leaving the service department, one is accosteJT by the large spacious sales room and accessory department. This department will be as large as most garages are complete. Tht ea-- 1 tire right side of the center section of the first floor will b$ utilized for a workroom, wher pny" iftit bst me-chanics to be procured will be in at-tendance. 'A feature --of this depart-ment will be the fact that there will not be any artificial light used, win-dows surrounding the entire shop.,. A waiting room for' ladies on the right side of this section is another feature rarely found in garages. A gentlemen's room'- lso - adorns the right side of this department. ' The north side of the garage, which is the only part of the huge building having three floors, " has a large spacious basement which will be used for storage only, having 'space for about 25 cars. Above this section, on the main floor is another storage department, which cares for approxi-mately the same amount of cars for storage. Going to the second floor, one is astounded by the amount of floor space allotted for storage, this section covering the entire building, or in other words having a floor space of 146x126 feet. One hundred cars can be stored in this section, thus giving the Bingham Garage room for 150 cars at one time. The building is absolutely fireproof, being of concrete throughout, with an additional 6 foot concrete fire wall around the entire edifice. Steam heat during the winter months will assure the patrons of an even temperature during the cold weather. An added feature, according to the management, is the installation of twenty-fou- r hour service, the place being open day and night with an at-tendant in charge. Three men will be on duty in the service station from 7 in the morn-ing until 9 at night, assuring prompt service of the better sort. Mr. Nichols stated during the week that many requests had been made for storage space, and although many claimed the garage was too big for Bingham Canyon, the fact remains that t'iere is only room at this time for 45 cars. The Press-Bulleti- n congratulates both the Bingham Stage Lines and the Bingham Garage and Storage in their wonderful faith in Bingham Canyon, the greatest mining camp of them all. back of a car. The child is not to blame, but the parent is. Let the par-ent tell the youngster of the dangers lurking in "hooking" rides, and in nine out of ten cases the child takes heed. Bingham Canyon has been free from accidents due to children "hook-ing rides." Let's keep this record clean. ' Wake up, parents, before it is too late. COMBO!! LOCAL UOIfJGS NEW BUILDINGS Within the nexfweck the magnifi-cent new home of the Bingham Gar-age and Storage will be completed, and with the completion of this won-derful structure comes , the realiza-tion that Bingham Canyon is not the mining camp. The faith in this town put forth by the Bing-ham Stage Lines in building this huge edifice is not only highly com-mendable but also gives Bingham Canyon the honor of having the larg-est garage in the state of Utah. The building is absolutely fireproof, be-ing of concrete throughout, with a six foot fire wall circling the entire struc-ture. Just a few steps from the new gar-age is the Isis Theater now under the course of construction, which when completed will be one of the finest in the state. This building is also fireproof, and will contain the most modern of equipment. The new the-ater promises to be one of the show spots of the town. " The new Utah Copper Emergency Hospital, completed a time ago, is also one of the real show places of Bingham Canyon, and would vie for honors in any other town. Then we have the new Bingham Hotel and the Copper Hotel. Both these are fire-proof, and as modern as money and equipment can make them. The old postoffice location, which was turned into the Gem Theater is also' one of the real improvements dufW8the past, summer, while, the new FostofficeJ building a few doors below the Bingham" Garage is also absolutely fireproof. Highland Boy has also been busy during the past few months erecting new buildings, while The Copperfield district is also Uc with new build-jiigjj-"-- '- - t -- - "" AH in all there has been much ac-tivity in the building up of Bingham Canyon, buildings springing up here and there, and for the most part the structures are of concrete. The new Michigan- Grocery, on Upper Main, which is now doing business as of old, is the first of the destroyed build-ings of the last great fire to be re-built. Mr. John Vietti is to be con-gratulated upon his effort. Yes, building in Bingham Canyon is going along at a nice clip, not a boom but just a good. steady gradual growth. TOO MANY Many have asked the question: "WHY DO SHERIFFS FROM THE SALT LAKE CITY OFFICE HAVE TO COME TO BINGHAM CAN-YON?" Of course, there are many answers that would probably be forth-coming from the main office in the Utah metropolis, bill to the average layman, who works for a living, and assists the county in its upkeep by meekly paying taxes, it seems rather odd with three efficient men in Bing-ham Canyon that others should be pressed into service. From all ap-pearances, and by reading Salt Lake newspapers, the sheriff's force locat-ed in that city have plenty to do with-out making a 27 mile jaunt to Bing-ham Canyon to arrest a violator of the law. Hardly a day passes, according to reports, but what at least two of Salt Lake City's sheriffs force arrives in Bingham Canyon, visits a while, or perchance makes an arrest, then par-takes of a luscious meal (the taxpayer pays) before wending their way home-ward. . It would seem strange to see the regular sheriffs force of Bingham Canyon be without outside help, it is said, Ho Hum. HOOKING RIDES Perhaps there are those in this town who do not at all times know where their children happen to be, and for those who do not know it is suggested that some of the parents of Bingham Canyon look on the rear end of passing vehicles, for there is a remote possibility that the young off-spring is hanging onto a truck or au-to and taking a chance of getting hurt. It is a known fact that a child 10 or 11 years of age is not as bright or brilliant as is a person of mature years, and yet these youngsters with their undeveloped brain are allowed to roam the streets of the camp, sometimes wandering far from home, and in their endeavor at getting back in hurry they "hook" a ride on thi I SUMMER HOME . ISJPSSEO j.. ; Board of Director of Kiwanis Club if Give View of New Project at the I v Regular Monthly Meeting. Plan for the building of a summer home for the Kiwanis Club in .Dry V ; ' Fork "'Canyon received ' considerable s ' time and deliberation at the .regular f'Cf monthly meeting of the board of direc- - 1 . - .tori held Monday evening of. this , " week at the offices of the Utah Light f & Power Co, with President H.

The plan, which was 'originally launched at a meeting Thursday eve--I - ning of last week in Dry Fork, met with instant approval at that time, but when the directors argued the matter t pro and con on Monday evening, con- - ViL aiderable opposition was experienced, I it is said.

The estimated cost of these improve- - S" ' tnents, and the building of the home , or summer club room as offered by the committee in charge to the board V ' - , , of directors amounted to $1,250. Of - this amount, more than $1000 was : "'" pledged when the plan was given ' Thursday evening of last week. 7 A ballot Uken ai the meeting Moq,--f . day evening disclosed the fat tra .' th directors were equally divided as l - to the advisability of building the 1 new lodge, five being in favor and five against according to advices. .

A f kitchen would adorn the edifice, and ( a large veranda would encircle the en- - tire building, according to present '; pi". ' The amount of money to be raised, according to reports, was to be thru donations by members of the club, : , and the upkeep of the building was ,.s to be cared for in the same manner.. That the new Kiwanis home would be a move in the right direction is shown by the fact that the room would also be at the 'disposal of the . Boy Scouts, and Campfire Qirls. It ' would be a picnic place for those who organizations, a much needed im- -' provement in this vicinity. , Members of the Kiwanis Club took the matter to a vote last evening at their regular meeting. j BASHFUL PAIR DO UHEXPECTEO Preston, Idaho, Is Scene of Double Wedding, in Which Two Bingham Canyon Lad Participate.

That the new store will be a suc-cess is made manifest in the amount of interest being taken by the women of the camp, and the Fashion Show which will feature the opening day promises to be one of the finest of its kind ever attempted in Bingham Can-yon. Living models will be on dress pa-rade at 3 in the afternoon and again at eight in the evening with the very latest Eastern and Paris creations, ac-cording to Mr. Nathan, who declared that never has a small town seen such a wonderful array of beautiful clothes. A beautiful American Beauty Rose will be given free to every lady and child visitor during the day, it is said. In the millinery department, the management announces that a com-plete change of styles and merchan-dis- c will be made every week or so, thus affording the women of Bing-ham Canyon the very latest designs from eastern manufacturers.

SCOUT TROOPS ENJOY OUTING Trip to Timpanogos Marks New Epoch in Scouting for Boys of - - Bingham Canyon. - All Have Great Time. By Rev. Samuel Mitchell The Scouts from all the troops in the Canyon took part in what is con- -' " sidered one of the best trips ever ar ranged for the Scouts in Bingham Canyon. The time it took to accomplish the trip was short, yet it was full of in-terest the whole of the. time. Starting Wednesday morning the 29th of July about 9:15 a.m. the Bing-- " fiam Stages,' loaded with excited but interested Scouts wended their way down the Canyon to the valley, tak-ing the state road to Orem, thence to Provo Canyon. It must have been a '.. great treat for the boys to see the canyon and the waterfalls. The jour-ne- y was continued over the Scenic Loop that connects the Provo Canyon 7 with the American Fork Canyon. The V. party of Scouts saw the summer camp of the B. Y. U. and stopped long enough at Aspen Grove to eat lunch. ' ' The rest of the loop was completed and camp was made in a plot near the camp known as Mutual Dell. Stages were unloaded and beds were made ,and soon the appetites of the boys were being satisfied. .The first day was a period given to seeing the best that Utah county affords.
