At Tuesday's election the people of Utah expressed in certain terms that they are keeping faith in Reed Smo-j- t by voting to retain him for another six years to look after their affairs at Washington. When that term ii completed it means that the Senator will have to his credit thirty years of continuous service in the U. S. Senate. Reed Smoot entered the United States Senate in 1903, at the age of 41, at a time when the Republican party was in power in both Houses of Congress and Theadore Roosevelt was in the Whitehouse. His right to a seat to the senate was contested strenuously contested and the pro-ceedings revealed that the big ma-jority of representatives in both houses were prejudiced, not only the Senator and his church, but, Utah as well. Smoot fought hard to maintain his rights, and inch by inch, he won his ground until finally victory was the reward. An ordin-ary man would have become discour-aged and told them all to go to the devil; but Smoot was not an ordin-ary man and , he demonstrated the fact to their entire satisfaction by the clean, able and fearless tactics pur-sued in contending for his rights. Upon being seated, the new Sen-ator from Utah resolved to do every-thing in his power to destroy preju-dice against Utah and her people. To this end he has labored incessantly and untiringly. To begin with he was given the chairmanship of the committee on standards, weights and measures, and given places on the committee on claims, civil service, pat ents, pensions, railroads and Indian depredations. In 1906 he was given a place on the public lands committee and in 190D he was given a place on the powerful finance committee of the senate, when he made the begin-ning of excellent reputations as a tariff authority. In 1910 he was made a member of the senate appro-priations committee, next to the most powerful committee in the senate. The election of President Wilson, a Democratic House and Senate in 1913 reduced Senator Smoot along with Senators Penrose, Lodge and er to the minority position From April 4, 1917, when the Pres-ident proclamation of war was is-sued, Senator Smoot supported Pres-ident Wilson and the war administra-tion loyally. After the armistice was signed and at the very beginning of the period he took the position that if the statesmen were to pull this country through the per-ils into which it was passing ,they must think more of country than of party. With the return of the Republican party to power in 1020, Senator Smoot's long and varied experience made him a valuable asset to the na-tion ,as well as his party. His in agricultural, tax and tariff legislation at this time attract-ed attention from far and near. He has become to be one of the best in-formed men in the world on finance and tariff matters and it is largely due to his efforts that this country is now enjoying the greatest peace time period of prosperity in history, The greatest peace time period of foreign trade, both exports and im-ports, we have ever had; the most stable period of prices and living costs in the last 75 years; a wage level far above that in any other country in the world; all prejudice has been removed against Utah and the State now holds a dominant po-sition in the U. S. Senate at Washing-ton. Furthermore, Reed Smoot has been largely instrumental in bring-ing about the following accomplish-ments which directly affect the in-terests of Utah: 1.

Leatherwood ;:;j :.- - Elias Hansen LUNCHEON TO BE SERV ED NEXT TUESDAY The first meeting of the .year of the Women's Organizations of the Community Church will be held next Tuesday afternoon, beginning with luncheon at one o'clock.

There are three social events which occur annually in Bingham that dance fan.i never overlook unless providen-tially hindered the Firemen, Stray Antlers and American Legion dances. Twd of these events were held dur-ing ti e past week and the Legion dance .scheduled for November 11th, promises to eclipse all previous en-tertainments. Elaborate preparations are being made to this end. The mask ball given by the fire-men on Saturday evening, was no dis-appointment.

COUNTRYMAN GOES TO SEATTLE Dr. Clyde Countryman, after wind-- i , ing up his political affairs at the local Democratic headquarters where .' he was in charge during the campaign left yesterday for Spokane, Wash-ington, where he goes to accept the position of resident physician of St. Lukis hospital. To the Doctor's thinking, this is a very choice po-sition, and one that will afford much , practical experience in surgery the very thing he is most interested in at this time. Dr. Countryman is one of the most ' ' popular young men that Bingham has , - yet produced, a son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Countryman, graduated with , high honors and jumped right into , ' real service from the beginning. He served for a period at the Salt Lake ' County hospital and at the local hos pital under direction of Dr. F. E. r - Straup and just recently filled a spec if v . ial appointment for one of the big . mining concerns of Nevada. L .

This tree is three feet in diameter and was found embedded in sandstone estimat-ed to be fifty million years old. Trees as old as the one found on the expedition have been unearthed before but none that are as large and at the same time as old. Twelve perfect specimens of petrir fied trees were discovered, all of them oeing forty feet or more in length and fromeighteen to thirty-si- x inches in diameter. Segments of the largest of the trees are being shipped to the geological museum of the university where they will augment the already large and complete collection of fos-sils and geological exhibits on display there.
