Tax Payeri Are Goat. Did you ever happen to wander in-to the local police station, and see the brilliant array of undersheriffs who visit our fair city? If you have not, it is high time you do, for you as taxpayers are surely entitled to know how your money is being spent. Years ago, when Bingham Canyon, like the rest of the state was real wet, when one could get his lager without sneaking in and out of a building, when men were supposed to :: be real rough, this camp got along exceedingly well with one sheriff. Then came the edict declaring it illegal to sell liquor, or its equivalent, and everyone was supposed to behave. It is a known fact that the people of Bingham Canyon are better behaved than those of any other town in the state, and yet but that's our story. Any time tiat perchance you hap-pen to enter the portals of the city hall you will be greeted by some of the squad from the sheriff's office, who are out here to see that law and order is preserved. The regular al-lotment, according to reports is three, one for Bingham Canyon, one for Highland Boy, and one for thus making it two more now than in days gone by, when people V were supposed to be real rough and UiaroHo handle. It wouldn't be half - i)ad if the three would stay put, .aniAsee that law and order is pre-- served, but, it is said, they are nev'j at their posts, and it is claimed that r,' they get lonesome,' so in rprdcr that all is well within the precincts of this ' district, three and four other sheriffs ." from Salt Lake. City, journey to the world's greatest miffing camp, to en-tertain the other three. Thus we have a total of seven sheriffs here at times according to reports, who do nothing but inhale of the wonderfitj mountain which this Hrmi9i0W- - famous- - for. The claim of the trusted seven is that Bingham Canyon is saturated with the bootleg ,and accord-ing to law it must go. It is a known fact that one man could round all the bootleggers in Bingham Canyon in twenty minutes, and six others are not needed, it is said. If this town is infested with boot-leggers, which may or may not be the case, they could be cleaned out in jig time, and one man could do the work. Then why the six extra men? Why don't they stay where the be-long? Why don't they clean up their own yard first? A town the size of Salt Lake City is sure to have many law violators, and yet a squad of - seven men must be sent to Bingham Canyon. '" When these guardians of the law spend their time in Bingham Canyon, they are using the taxpayers money without showing results. When they arc in camp they must eat, and thus the extra expense of meals is added to the taxpayer's burden. IF IJVERY SHERIFF WHO BE-LONGS IN BINGHAM CANYON STAYED WHERE HE DOES BE-LONG, WE WOULD NOT NEED ; SEVEN SHERIFFS HERE AT ' ONE TIME. Rouse mitt 'em. --TO FIGHT HERE Salt Lake Sensation to Meet Tippero at Princeta Theater Next . Friday for State Title. Bingham Canyon fight fans will be treated to a real battle next triday evening, June 26, when Dominic Tip-pero, local bantam, will mix with Jack Andrews of Salt Lake City, for the Bantam weight championship of the state, in a six round clash. The bout will be staged at the Princess theater, and promises to be one of the best ever staged in this camp, as both men are fast, and carry a real wallop. Andrews, present hold-er, was the sensation of Salt Lake City during the winter bouts and is a prime favorite with the fans of that city, many of whom will be out to see the battle next week. Tippero is too well known here for extra comment, and suffice it to say that he has been training hard for the coming clash, as a victory over the speedy Andrews would keep the local scrapper during the coming winter months. For a semi-windu- p the management offers a 4 round affair between Bloc Valdez and Jimmie Green. This is another bout that promises to give the fans a thrill. Both men are clever and each carries a k.o. in either hand. Imy Garfinkle, the fighting Vid, will, step off four fast rounds with Wild Bill Farrell, and this bout should be a hum dinger from start to finish. Both are ruddy fighters, and both are favorites with Bingham Canyon fight followers. Kid Sullivan of Bingham Canyon will go four rounds with Randolph Stenwelden of Salt Lake City, and another four round bout to open the show will also grace the bill. Seats for this great fistic event will be on sale at the Copper King and the Diamond. ROAD GUARD TD BEJWSTALLED County Commissioner Promise Rail-ing on Pave4 Road Above Kapelle Hill. Is Dangerous Place. Several times this year cars have tumbled over that part of the paved road above the Kapelle Hill, a spot that is considered the most dangerous in the state. The place in question has a drop on either side of the road of approxi-mately 50 to 75 feet, and there is nothing to warn the strange motorist when turning out for a car of the im-pending danger. A telephone conversation with one of county commissioners disclosed the fact that this august body is on widening the road at this point, and putting in some concrete guards. The work of getting the guards in place will start early in July according to the County Commis-sioner. In speaking of straightening out the last few miles of road leading into Bingham Canyon, this Commissioner said, "We have promised to have the work done before fall, and at this time that is our intention. We fig-ure that we will be able to start some time in July, and have the work corn- - pleted before snow falls. ' This is all very good, and the peo-ple of Bingham Canyon are in favor of it, but a good many of the natives of this town are from Missouri, and want to be shown. Let the county commissioners start this work, and then the people of Bingham Canyon will stand convinced, but up to that time, they will remain a little skep-tical. It was suggested to the Commis-sioner that the road leading to Bing-ham Canyon from Midvale, was one of the very few important roads out of Salt Lake City that was without lights. "Not enough houses on the highway," was the reason given, but the people of Bingham Canyon are of the impression' that 'it""wou1dn'f "be i bad idea to let the lights on the high-way be a guiding light to the world's greatest mining camp. The Redwood Road is well lighted, and so is practically every other prom-inent road leading 'opt of the metrop-olis, why not the road to Bingham Canyon? Lights along the Bingham Canyon Highway would not only beautify the road, but would also act as a safe-guard against those wonderful one-hand-drivers. There are many ac-cidents on the Bingham highway each year; and the toll of life would be greatly reduced with a well lighted road. With lights on the highway it is doubtful whether those accidents near the Kapelle hill would have oc-curred. LET'S HAVE SOME LIGHTS ON THE BINGHAM CANYON HIGHWAY. GYPSY TRAIL PROVES TREAT Best Performance of the Year Given , at the Gemmell Memorial Club by Babcock Varsity Players. ' . Seldom are the people of Bingham Canyon treated to such a performance $ as that given by the Babcock Varsity ..'Y " players at the Gemmell .Memorial ' '. Club Friday evening of last week, the c event being the showing of "The Gypsy Trail." .' V;.- From start to finish .these clever players gave a wonderful rendition of their parts, and everyone went home well satisfied in the fact that it was by far the best effort of "Bonnie" Jones, chairman of the entertainment "; committee. . . "Thy Cypsy Trail" deals with young girl, who craves romance, but wants it in the old fashioned conven- - tionat way. She wants to please her father by marrying a Mr. Andrews, who seems so sure that she will mar-ry him that to please her he plans a sort of romantic kidnapping affair, with an Irish lad, who gives the name of Davey Jones ,as the chief kidnap---pe- r. As usual ,the Irish boy falls iu - s." love with Janet, and he shows the audience how a fast worker really works. He takes her to the summer home of Andrews where we meet Andrews aunt, who also knows a thing or two, and between Jones and Auntie, Janet falls as though she had been tripped. Jones leaves her, and the last act shows Andrews ready to announce ,'i $f the engagement, when Davey appeajs, and tells that his right name is Mid if acl Rudder, scion of a rich family, and all ends well, with the usual clinch as the curtain is drawn. . Lowell Lees, as Davey JkneV gave a wonderful interpretation of the part and made the audience fall for"him at the very outset, and everyoM was "pulling" for him to get theeauti-- .J ful Janet, ably played by Miss Ethel - Baker, Miss Baker was just """ mnl??' enough to make one try aWtidnap ( her. Frank McGhie as Edward Andrews, too slow to catch cold, made a great hit with his portrayal of a difficult role. Mr. Raymond ,the father of Janet, was in the able hands of C. R. Houst-ma- n, while Miss Georgiana Taylor in the part of Mrs. Widdimore, An-drew's aunt, made everyone feel that when she was young, she too, was romantic. Richard Maycock as John Raymond, the little son, who was always trying to tell everyone their business fur-nished plenty of comedy throughout the evening. Dorothy Irvine, as the aunt of Janet gave a creditable presentation- - of the part. Not once during the evening did the actors forget their parts, and not once daring the entire performance did the show drag, making it, as has been said, the VERY best perform-ance given in Bingham Canyon since the inception of the Gemmell Memor-ial Club. PEACEFUL BLISS TO FOLLOW THEM Marriage of Secretive Pair Ends in Brilliant Ride , Through Streets of Bingham Canyon. All Is Well. Sweet spirits of nitre, and shades of Solomon. They went and did it, and even though they tried to keep it a secret, the entire town knew about it. And when the parson spoke the words that made them one, he grin-ned ,and with a look of heaven in his eyes, he took her to his arms, and the happy knot was tied. Following the ceremony, they thought it would be well to hire a taxi and sneak themselves to Salt Lake City, where they could entrain for Denver and other Rocky Mountain Region Points, but there are plenty of mountain points in an darouifl Bingham Canyon, and to prove it the Frog Town gang got busy and rough-ly did they try and treat the bride and groom, but the happy pair would not be bothered with raising a rum-pus, so this twain did gently allow themselves to be put into a wagon of ancient vintage, and tied to an auto, thev wended their way through the crowds on Main street and up to Copperficld did they wander. Amid the tooting of horns and the blowing of whistles, and the grins of spectators did the happy couple sit in the wagon, and doubly happy were they in the fact that only once in a lifetime do people take advantage of a man's misfortunes. (Strange, but true.) After a pleasant sojourn the party headed by many friends of the newly married couple left them to their own misery, and at last reports he and she were headed for Denver and all way points. "Red" Faddis and Margaret Grant, who were married Wednesday eve-ning of this week are the two persons referred to in the above story. JANITOR LEAVES AFTER HEARS Ben Barrett, Custodian Jnd Fireman of Bingham Central Schools Is Dismissed After Manjf Years of Faithful Service. j Ben Barrett, for the jpast seven years in charge of furnace work, and custodian of the Bingham Central Schools has been dismissed from the service, it was announced during the week. James Le Claire, janitor at the new high school, was also given - his walking papers. f Mr. Barrett leaves th, employ of the Jordan School districj with a most enviable record, it being said that in the seven years he has bitn in charge of the heating of the schools and cus-todian of the three buildings, there has never been frozen jipc. Never has there been ne mimite when Mr. Barrett shirked his duty! nd yet he has been dismissed. VVy? If there is a good reason Jfor the dismissal of Mr. Barrett, the Press-Bullet- in would like to know wha it island will be glad to enlighten ths humlreds of Mr. Barrett's friends, who atjhis time fail to realize the motive biliind such a move. "For the good of the irganiza'lion" is one of the reasons given for the dismissal of Mr. BarreM, but this must be a mistake, as it would have been "for the good of tjie organiza-tion" to have sent him a (Aew contract, It has also been rumorethat he was "let out" because of political reasons, and if such is the case, it is high time something is done to keep politics away from institutions fcf learning, and away from hard working men, who after seven years of faithful ser-vice are "fired" because some one else knows a friend whcMias an uncle who needs a job. f Petty politics of this .ort may be all right, and it may hi the proper thing to put one's frienAs in a posi-- j tion, after becoming "erccted.Hut it does seem rather peculiar, to those on the outside of the ring, to see a man who has served the people of this, camp as has Mr. Barrett, receive a letter from the Board of Education of the Jordan District, stating that his services are no longer needed, and a contract will not be forthcoming for the next school year. The Press-Bulleti- n does not claim any relationship to Mr. Barrett, and neither does it care to go on record as saying that it has made a tour of inspection of the school buildings to check up on Mr. Barrett's work, but it has been told by those who know, that the reason for Mr. Barrett's dis-missal was suggested by the Prin-cipal of the Bingham Schools to the School commissioner from this dis-trict, and thus "the can" was tied, cause the buildings wire not "clean-- I cd properly." It will be well for the people of Bingham Canyon to remember that Mr. Barrett never did have anything to do with the cleaning of the build-ings, but was merely the engineer and custodian. Mr. Barrett has given seven years of his life to the care and wants of the children of Bingham Canyon, YOUR CHILDREN. Is he going to be "fired" because there was a change in school commissioners? It has been said that a petition will be circulated for the of Mr. Barrett, and it is Jto be hoped that every cit-izen of Bingham Canyon who is in favor of FAIR. DEALING will affix his name on the dotted line. IRK AT UTAH APEXJATCHED Ownership of Ore Body on 2400 Level to be Decided Out of Court. In refutation of newspaper advices that legal claim had been made to apex rights of the rich ore body en-countered on the 2400-fo- level by L'tah-Ape- x Mining company, says the Boston News Bureau, it can be stated authoritatively that no legal com-plaint or threat of injunction proceed-ings has been made It is to be remembered that the Utah-Delawa- Mining company (for-merly the Utah Consolidated Mining company, which lost a $1,250,000 ver-dict to Utah-Ape- x a couple of years ago) has been permitting the Utah-Ape- x company access to the latter's levels through its own workings. Utah Delaware has been pumping and do-ing development work for Utah-Ape- x on the latter's 2100-fo- level -- since November, 1924. This saved the lat-ter the expense of sinking a shaft from thej000-foo- t level down to the 24(jp1fat-- ; lateral, which would have rcitJfrcio(to a year to accom-plish laljled Utah-Ape- x to begin without aii. iff time developments on its fylKPTootcvel through the Utah- - DeHarc' workingi using the Ltah-DelaW- e . organization. Expenses werehrile by both companies on a proportionate basis. WjieVlitah-Ape- x encountered this newtoj&6dy o ntbe 2400-fo- level it excUd e Bingham canyon. It meant the addition' of millions of tons of ore. Development work thus far has shown the new ore body to be the richest strike ever made by Utah-Ape- x. , . As development work has progress-ed Utah-Delawa- has intimated thai it had the apex of this new vein. Within the past week that company notified President Haffenreffcr o( Utah-Ape- x that it would cease mining through its own workings and was making geological examination with a view to deteriiiining"the exact own-ership of the apex to the new vein. The Utah-Delawa- management, however, has made no legal claims and has made no threats of injunc-tion procedings, but it has indicated that Utah-Delawa- re owns the rich 2400-fo- level vein, During the com-ing fortnight geologists will make a thorough examination with a view to determining actual ownership of the disputed ore body. Of course Utah-Ape- x would not submit to what it believes to be an encroachment upon its property. In-cidentally ,the company has the wherewithal to defend its position in the courts, if necessary, with net cur-rent assets of well over $1,350,000, of which cas hand government securities amount to over $1,200,000. The above statement is in conform-ity with one made by General Man-ager J. O. Elton, of the International Smelting company, which owns the Utah Delaware that work on the 2400-lev-of the Utah Apex would be car-ried on to establish ownership of the ore body and that no "steps toward litigation had been taken. When enough work has been done to fur-nish conclusive data, the matter it is thought, can be settled out of court. t SLANG USERS GETOUR GOAT Ye Editor Gets Into Conversation With College Graduate, and Fails to Understand Modern Language. It gets our goat, but nevertheless the present age is too fond of slang. An intelligent conversation is impos-sible. Where ever you go, whomever you meet, it's always slang, slang, slang. You do something clever, cre-ate an impression. Then some one tells you that you win the celluloid fire bucket. We ask you now, is that right? They topit by saying you're the pollywog's eye tooth. It's wrong. I should hope to comb the hair on a cocoanut! Where do you suppose such .things will lead? There's really no telling. Everyone is addicted to the habit. A charming young lady informed us the other day that we were the kangaroo's socks. We deny it. Such a thing is absurd. She said we won the red flannel golf clubs. We don't want them. Really we don't. We should hope to poke a dot! If only we could escape this sort of thing! There seems no outlet. No matter whom we meet, they talk vul-gar slang. They murder the lan-guage. It's pitiful. What do we care if some one thinks we are the ele-phant's ear muffs? We don't wish to hear it. Nor do we care that we have secured the barbed wire mat-tress. It's distressing. We should hope to tickle an octu- - pus. Really, we arc going to beg of our friends that they be charitable. They grieve us with this vulgarity. It's hardly compatiable with the pursuit of a liberal education to state that some one is the sea lion's bathrobe. It is so trivial. Some prohibitive measures should be taken. Imagine how discomforting it is to be told that you won the corrugated ice skates! This must stop. We should hope to tweak a but-terfly's nose I POOR COMEDY . f. .. Sunday morning of this week, three high class comedians stopped a resi-dent of Bingham Canyon, a Greek, and enticing him into a garage, delib-erately took a pair of scissors and clipped off his moustache, claiming it was to wear a soup strainer of that particular model. Be that as it may, the resident had a right to wear any kind of a mous-tache that seemed to suit his tastes, and the three fellows who thought they were doing something funny should be put behind the bars for a year or so, and give them ample time to think oj something less to do that could be considered "funny." COPPER EVENS W1THAPEXERS Piper, New Copper Pitcher, Tames Hard Hitting Underground Men and Turns in 13 to 10 Victory. The Utah Copper ball team evened their argument with the Apex team at Utah Copper ball park Wednesday afternoon by winning a slow dragged out game 13 to 10, with Piper, new pitcher, doing the heavy work. This pitcher looks like the real goods, 'an dalthough touched for 13 hits including a home run by Ander-son over the right field wall, will fit in very nicely in the Copper pitching staff. "Boob" Burrows, who practically carried the Apex team to the top of the heap, was not up to his usual standard, and was tickled tor li nits, which mixed in with a few costly er-rors, paved the way for defeat. Plenty of hits, many of .them for extra bases gave the large crowd plenty to yell at, while some fancy fielding also added to the occasion. Apex started scoring in the initial frame when they chased three men across. Taylor was safe on Muir's error, and went to second on Fleigcr's sacrifice. Gibbs singled infield, scor-ing Taylor. Larson singled to left sending Gibbs to third, and went to second on tbe throw in. Bosone sin-gled to right, scoring Gibbs and Lar? sen. : " 'rr " Tbe Copper started htst Borrows In the. first 'frame when they .regis-tered fivtf markers.
