SWEET REMARKS PLEASEREADERS Press-Bulleti- n of Last Week Causes Natives to Sit Up and Takt Notice Many Compliments Received. "Every Knock at a Nuisance Is a Boost for the Town." This motto i having been accepted by tbe Press- - Bulletin over a year ago, has or has not met with the approval of the peo--. pie of Bingham Canyon, and yet, af-ter the issue of last week, when the Prcss-Rulleti- n contained enough dy-namite to blow up the town, hundreds ' of readers sent messages to the ed-itor for taking such a definite stand on matters vital to every tax payer in this section. ' . ; y.y: The Press-Bulleti- n has been actus- - ' ed of many things, it has weathered ! many storms, and hopes to continue weathering many more, for as sure ' as day follows night, the Press-Bu- i- , letin will continue its policy of letting the people of Bingham Canyon know the true state of affairs, as they are rightfully entitled to know. The editor of the Press-Bulleti- n did not come to Bingham Canyon as a reformer, neither did he come to the world's greatest mining camp to be made mayor, but he did come to this community to make an honest dollar, to place the bare facts before the peo- - , pie, and to suggest, if possible, ac remedy, "'.. The management of the Press-Bullet- in docs not want trouble with any one in Bingham Canyon, and yet, should the opportunity arise, it will be fearless in its , denouncing of an evil that may exist within the portals of our fair city. ';! One person cannot bring about the reformation of any bne thing or any one condition, but one' person can with the assistance of Inany more, im-prp-ve the community in which we reside. The Press-Bullet- in is more than , willing to' be the mouth organ of the to take .ep its,ig(its, get into fights and do anything, that V "vfmetter roir conditions here) out """v it docs need the pf every red blooded citizen in the town, and takes this time to ask all in favor of a clean town, to send in their com-plaints and the Press-Bullet- in will carry on in its effort to aid this com-munity. It will be well for the people of this camp to remember that the ed-itor of the Press-Bulleti- n is not on. a diet, that he cats three meals a day just like a regular fellow, and that the price of a year's subscription is only two dollars. Stop me on the street and I will do, the rest. Re-member, only two dollars a year for the privilege of reading the news-paper that isn't afraid to tell the truth.

' tCHUDREN'S PLAY ILL REGULATED : Recreation Director Lee Simmons, Shows Much Progress in Amuse-ment Work for Local Tots. Lee Simmons, recreational direc-tor for the childrenof. Bingham Can-yon is rapidly rounding the young-sters of the camp together, and ev-ery day one can sec the playgrounds at the lower part of the Canyon full of eager tots awaiting their turn at the swings and chutes, and bars. ' The local head of the children's summer play is planning many dif-ferent stunts for the summer mouths, and with being in Copperfield and Highland Boy every other day, and spending the rest of the time in Lower Bingham, Mr. Simmons is one of the busiest men in the town. Always ready to assist the little ones in their playing of games, Mr. Simmons has made himself a prime favorite with the children of the camp ,and ere long will be more pop-ular for he is said to have many out-ings planned for the very near fu-ture, which includes hikes and camp-ing trips. While on the subject of camping and hiking it might be well to speak of the scout movement. So much has been done for such activities by the Boy Scouts that a special word will not go astray. In former years, you would see about the same type of boys trying to create excitement by prowling around the neighborhood on lawless errands of mischief and disturbance. Now their fun spirit is being diverted into wholesome channels ,as they start out on their hikes, wearing the uniform they prize so much.' The tests for advancement in Scoutcraft lead the boys to keep their eyes open, to become students of na-ture, to show common sense in meet-ing exigencies of out door trips. A boy really has to do considerable studying and acquire much useful a'-- f pS - tire higher fests in this organization. Thus instead of competing to sec which can excite the most admiration by the most lawless conduct, the scout is led to excel by Self cultivation. These outdoor experiences make boys strong and hardy. A fellow who can take a good long hike ouht not to be afraid of physical effort, and his improved condition ought to make' him better fitted to take up his book work when school opens in the fall. Fine ideals of service and conduct form a part of the scout code, and the fellow who gets those ideas in his head gets a wonderful start to-ward a career of clean thinking and acting. The boys in Bingham Can-yon should be encouraged to take up scoutcraft. In all places where there arc no (roups or an insufficient num-ber of them, men interested in boy development should be Urged to take holdhold and provide this opportunity for the youngsters. Usually the boys are only too glad to join if leaders can he found for them. That is the main problem in Ming-ha- m Canyon. There are not enough people taking active interest in the scout movement, while it is freely ad-mitted that there are many young men in the camp who would make ideal leaders. See Lee Simmons at the playgrounds if you are interested in scoutcraft and assist in bringing up the present child to become one of America's finest. ARTHUR FIN SHES i IN SECOND PLACE Copper Players Fall .Before Master-ful Pitching of "Reftf" Peery, and Lost 10 to 4 Dowdeli Features. ? The Arthur team of the Copper league defeated the Copper team at Garfield Wednesday afternoon, 10 to 4, and by virtue of the victory the first half of the schedule in second place. The game was a great exhibition until the sixth, when the home team registered six markers,. and made a runaway contest. Burt essayed to do the pitching for the Arthur team but had to give up in the second inning, when the Cop-per lads began hitting his offerings to all corners of the lot! Peery, who took liis place pitched Wg league ball and kept the hard hitting visitors to three scattered hits. k .; Jack Baty was the hitting star for the Copper with threeHiits in as many times at bat, while' J)owdcll of the same team furnished .mveraL spec-tacular plays around second base that brought forth much applause. Hall was sent to the mound for the Copper ,and pitched a glral game for five innings, but in this canto the Ar-thur men nicked him for 3 runs, and in the sixth they went after him with a vengeance, and Jerrjf Dunn was mustered in. Dunn gavf way in the eighth to Piper. i The Copper teams scored first blood in the initial frame. B;ily walked, went to third on Santistoran's hit and scored op,.wjld iUtjt Xo..-jnre- . were added in the second. Morley sent a two bagger to left, went to third on an out, and scored Hall's hit to left. Hall went to third on Baty's single .and then he and Baty complet-ed a double steal. After that the vis-it-were helpless, but one hit being registered off Peery until the ninth when the Sorenson boys scored two more hits, one a three bagger by Baty, which scored the last marker.

Why did the school board re-fuse to send him a contract? Ac-cording to reports, there is not the least sign of a reason for his dis-missal outside of the fact that "a man will be in Bingham Canyon to take Mr. Barrett's place." In a conversation with several of the members of the school board, this august body declared that there would not be any new engineers sent to Bingham Canyon until the superin-tendent of schools and president of the board had subjected them to a rigid examination. Should this be the case, then the people of Bingham Canyon need not worry, for Benjamin Barrett has proved his worth these past seven years. Although the matter before the people only looks like the hiring of a custodian for the schools of lower Bingham, there is much more to be considered. ' Shall a man, who has given seven years of his life trying to care for the comforts of the children of Bingham Canyon be forced to give up his position because the district held an election and appointed an-other man as trustee? According to reports, politics arc corrupt, and when our schools are contaminated with such practices it is high time for the people of this district to get out two petitions, it is said, and it is the consensus of opin-ion that the day of jetty politics in schools is over, and it is said that an effort will be made to keep it from the schools of Bingham Canyon. Those who have caused the peti- - not doing it because of any feeling of animosity, but purely from a prin-ciple of cleanliness in the operating of the schools of Bingham Canyon. Following is a letter of recommen-dation written by Superintendent D. C. Jensen to Mr. Barrett on May 25. It speaks for itself. Sandy, Utah, May 25, 1925. "To Whom It May Concern: , "This is t--j say that Benjamin Bar-rett has acted as engineer at the Bingham Central schools (luring the past seven years. During that entire time, we have not heard one adverse criticism relative to his work as an engineer. He knows his heating sys-tem thoroughly, keeps it in good con-dition constantly, uses good judg-ment in the matter of firing and ven-tilation, is economic and careful in the use of fuel and power, is faith-ful in the performance of his duties, and his habits and character are ex-emplary and commendable. "I can cheerfully recommend Mr. Barrett to anyone seeking a com-petent boiler man. "Sincerely, D. C. JENSEN, Supt. of Schools. DO YOUR DUTY AND SIGN THE PETITION AND KEEP OUR SCHOOLS OUT OF POLITICS. Following is the petition being cir-culated among the citizens ,of Bing-ham Canyon: "Whereas, Benjamin Barrett has served the people of Bingham Can-yon for the past seven years, and "Whereas, during said seven years, the school district has been free from expense chargeable to incompetence, and "Whereas, Prior to Mr. Barrett's time of service there were several very expensive freeze-up- s, and "Whereas, There are four types of heating systems, including the new ' High School, and "Whereas, It takes a skillful and experienced man to successfully care for said equipment, and "Whereas, Mr. Barrett has proven his ability to care for same, "NOW THEREFORE, we, the undersigned citizens and residents of Bingham Canyon do petition the Board of Education of the Jof-- : dan School District to employ Benjamin Barrett as engineer and cus- - todian of the schools of Central Bingham. APEXERS TEASE IGiPLAfERS Winners of First Half Toy With Last Year's Champs and Win Handily, 12 to 6 Fleiger Features Contect. Mr. Arthur Fleiger, centerfielder ol the Utah Apex team, winner of the first half of the Copper League schedule, once tried his hand at pitch-ing against the Magna team, and the Millmen knocked him out of the box. Wednesday afternoon he got revenge, holding the same team to six scat-tered hits, and winning from them in easy fashion 12 to 6. The fact that Mr. Fleiger pitched a six hit game is not the principal fea-ture of his afternoon's work, for this left hamler swatted out two home runs and a single in five trips to the plate, and when he came to the bat in the last frame he almost made it three homers for he sent one far over the right field wall, but the hit was foul by about two feet. All in all, Mr. Fleiger had a great afternoon, and yet, there was a Mr. Walbeck of the same team who also smashed out three hits, including a homer. This Mr. Walbeck did some great fielding, too, getting tangled up in two fast double plays, and three times during the game he crossed second base on ground balls, and threw his man out at first. Mr. Walbeck gave one of the prettiest fielding exhibitions of the year. An added feature of the afternoon's entertainment was the fact that Bill Treseder, manager rf the Magna jtcaut, Ecok, .p4ar 4n 4cft ffchffciM the old war horse is still there when it comes to playing the game. Bill sent two runners in with a timely single, and made a nice catch of a line drive. McBride had a great time circling the bases, being credited with scoring four of the 12 runs. Apex i,lrcw first blood in the third, with McBride on first by virtue of a fielder's choice, Fleiger scored his first home run. Then with two out Walbeck singled and completed the circuit when Larsen singled to deep left. The visitors snorted a trifle in the fourth whin they scored two runs on two walks, an error and a hit. The home team added two to their total in the same frame, on a walk, an out, an error and a couple of hits. Bobbins, who started on the rub-ber for Magna began to feel the cha-grin of being knocked out of the box in the fifth. Bosoiie singled infield, and Lindstrom singled to center. Mc- Bride doubled down the third base line and then Mr. Arthur Fleiger sent a scorching single to right. Kicking up the ground in left field, Manager Treseder seilt Bobbins to the show-ers, and winked at his ace, Wooilhavc. Taylor popped out, and then Walbeck sent one on a line to right field, and the ball, being tired of close confine-ment, decided to bounce over the fence. Magna scored three runs in the sixth, on a hit, a walk, a hit by pitch-er and another hit. The last two runs scored by the Apex came in the seventh when Mc- Bride singled infield ,and Mr. Arthur Fleiger sent one far over Egbert's head for a home run, his second of the game. Brown made a two base hit in the ninth, went to third on a balk, and scored on an out. Read 'em and weep. Magna 6 Player Pos.
