" t FIREME J WILL SHOW PICTURE "Pampered Youth" to be Given at the Princess Theater Tuesday Under Auspices of Bingham Canyon Fire Fighters. , ' ;, The Firemen of Bingham Canyon have taken over the Princess Theater on Tuesday next, and will be in charge, on which occasion will be shown the famous fire film, 'Tamper-ed Youth," considered by many to be the finest fire picture ever screened. The story Itself, filled with many thrills, and wonderful rescue, is one that will be long remembered by those who see it. In addition to this wonderful fea-ture, the fire laddies have gone to the expense of getting the pictures of the State tournament which the Fire-men of the state held last August at American Fork, This film shows the activities of the different firemen, in-cluding the efforts of the local men who attended. Be sure and see your own firemen in action. The purpose of the Tuesday per. formance is the replenishing of the treasury of the local institution, and in order that the people wilt get value received for its assistance the show plan was conceived. It is natural to assume that record breaking crowds will be in attendance, and the fire-fighters are worthy of your patron-age. Regular prices will prevail. The uianagement of the theater is giving its share toward the success of the entertainment, and has been work ing day and night to see that the Fire-men of Bingham Canyon are amply repaid for their efforts. ; , When it h known that th Firemen of the camp will be in attendance in full regalia, it behooves every person in the camp to b there to do their bit. ; , v"V-;.- As a special inducement, to those brhy af wMm rifc- - w'!rprti4 matinee wilt he held at 3:30, instead of the regular time which is usually one hour earlier. Music will be furnished throughout the evening performances by the Utah Copper Band and the Imperial Or-- chestra, both organizations having donated their services for the occas-ion. Meet your friends at the Prin-cess Theater Tuesday of next week, and boost the Bingham Canyon Fire-men.. Bad ouiloiuc to re starteo County Commissioner Bergon Protn--I ises People of Bingham Canyon . Much , Work During the Summer Month. . . County Commissioner Ernest L. Burgon, in a telephone conversation during the Wet k declared that the last four rniles of road leading intd Bing-ham Canyon would be straightened, and made ready before the winter stops operations, so that the fol-lowing year will see a nice new coat of concrete, thus giving the people of the camp a paved road to the Utah metropolis from the. world's greatest mining camp. Refusing to give out a definite time as to when actual work would start, the road commissioner declared that the people of Bingham Canyon need not worry as the ., filling in and straightening of the road would pos-itively be completed by fall, and that when the paving started the follow--1 ing spring there would be very few! kinks in the road. " . ' J Mr. Bergon told of many hundreds of miles of road in the county that needed attention, and stated that each would be cared "for in the order of their importance. This remark com-ing front the commissioner means that the Bingham Canyon road will be one of the very first to be cared for, a everyone in Bingham Canyon knows that the grading and straight-ening of the last four miles of road is by far the most important thing to be done this summer. There are a few bad turns or 'the dirt road at this time, and according to Mr. Bergon they will all be taken care of when the work starts. ' Al-though the road won't be perfectly straight,. it will be without the dan-gerous curves that now make it a menace to' safe driving. tturry uowinter, get out of the and and Mr. Bergon and his corps of workers who arc going to make it possible for the people of the camp to go to Salt Lake City on pavement. SOME PEDDLERS 10 VISIT HERE 4 Tima Is Ripe for Annual Influx of '' Disturbing Element Law Could - "" Be Passed to Keep Them Out ' "Peddlers we have met" is the sub-'.-?- '. ject this week, and although it bor , " ders on the ridiculous o ask the pco- - ' ' pie of the camp to refrain from pat-- f .ronizing these peddlers, who, in their - greed for the business that rightfully belongs ' to the local merchant, are 4 wont to even' bring their lunch, so f ,:' . "' that when they leave the camp in the evening they can truthfully say they 'f ; y' ; have taken all they could out of Bing- - - , ham Canyon, and not put out a single .4.." '' , " cent. ;,- V ' In speaking of peddlers, one must i remember several things. First 'there Jv is the argument that th poor fellow must live, and his business i$ legit- - , imate. , It may be legitimate but not for Bingham Canyon. Thf merch ants of the camp art entitled to your business, and it is YOUR business ; to help the local merchant survive. l- - . Havu you ever met thq peddler who V- - ' sell fugs? No? Well, w will try and tell you about him. He arrives t - - in town in his jitney, nd in the back seat of his car he has a general as- - - ' sortment. of high clss(?) rugs. ' He t starts in at one end1 of the town, and his partner on tH other. They go . irqm. house to house, telling the in- -. ' nocent housewife ' that th. rugs arc y so good she. wilt be a great ( loser should ' she . turn them down. ''The !, . truth, of the matter is that the same ' ; rugs may be purchased in Bingham Canyon for the same money and in ' some instances for less. Why can they be sold lof less? Because in1 . ' som instances the rug peddler ha ' purchased them at retail, odd rugs ' :. . - that were unsaleable, and they must realise at least 25 per cent profit, thus you are in some instance paying as jht-- -. modity. . . . Then there is the fellow who sells J : ladies' silk hose and ladies' silk un- - 'j derwear." You have met them and so have we. They come to your door, f, and try and force their way into your home, figuring that you will give them L? ... nr order to'get them out. (Many women! have been known to do just - such a thing.) This peddler is the r worst menace the housewife has to 'i, put up with because of his obstinacy in leaving the house. If his merchan- - ; . ' Jise was as good as he claims it is, ' the merchants of the camp would , - . stock this wonderful article. Then we have the feljow who sells ' v, shoes. Everyone in the camp knows . - that shoes may be purchased in Bing- - jf ' ham Canyon from many merchants, v and for the most part the shoes pur- - t. chased heri are reasonably priced, i' and of good materials. How about t the peddlers' wares? Are they of X good material? How do we know? i We are asked to look at a bunch of ', photographs and when the shoes ar- - , rive if they are not as ordered, the ' . peddler glibly tells you that it is your .... mistake and not his. ., ' ', Is there remedy for this peddler (' ' evil? Is thejre a way in ,which. this ' town can be rid of this awful nuis- - ' ; ' ante? . Would the City Dads listen to - ,, a suggestion? If so, let us suggest i that the peddler who .comes to this ' " camp be asked to report to the city " " clerk, and let this official look over his wares and see if .they are as rep-- l resented. If such be the case let the .' city clerk then ask for a fee of say $15 00 a day for the privilege of ped-- . dling and when the money is paid, let the city clerk issue a blue card show-ing the peddler to have passed the l ' examination and have paid his license, ,o- - thus giving the" housewife of the camp some protection before' she ." buys from a stranger. Let the ped-dler show the Blue Card and all will " . be welt. The Press-Bullet- in will do- - . ' nate the printing 'of the cards. ' This may seem a foolish law to some, but w go on record as say--' . . ing that if there are peddlers who in-fest our camp who are willing to ' , abide by such a law, the $15.00 will - help a lot toward keeping Main street repaired so that a car can come in v 'r ' and out of the canyon without break- -' - . ing from one to a dozen' springs, POSTAL RATES . MM PUBLIC Increased Prices for Service at Post Office Is Announced by Postmaster Barnard Many New Feature. The Postal Bulletin in its last issue announces the new rates or different classes of mail, .which will go into ef-fect April 15. : Rates on post cards will be increas-ed from one to two cents. This sec-tion of the new list states that all post cards, cither single or double, will take the two cent rate. There will not.be an increase,.. however, on the government postal cards which Will still remain at one cent, and the Bulletin announces that there will not be tin increase on first class mail. A change is made in mail under 8 ounces, which heretofore was tinted up to four ounces, the new ruling showing that all mail under 8 ounces will take the third class rate at 14 cents for each 2 ounces or fraction thereof, with the exception of books. catalogs, seeds and plants, which will take the old rate of one cent. The present prices on fourth class mail (I'arcel Post) will be rated as before according to tones, and will apply on all packages weighing more than 8 ouiiccs, except that of the first and secomt class. In addition to the present price there will be a 2 cent service charge made for each parcel, except upon parcels originating on rural routes. , (There are no rural route in Bingham Canyon) such charges to be prepaid in same man-ner as regular postage. ' There wilt also be an additional charge of 25 cents special handling, and the senders who care to take ad-vantage of this extra service are re-quested to mark the package below the stamp "Special Handling." Registered mail, insured mail and CO D. mail will be charged for at aetJes than tSs cent 20 cents, the values to $50.00 taking the 15 cent rate, and over $50.00 to $100.00 taking the 20 cent rate. ' Return receipts requested on regis-tered mail-wil- l take a fee of 3 cents. For insuring parcel post packages in value up to $5.00 a fee of 5 cents will be charged over the regular post-age. 8 cents will be charged over the regular postage for packages with a value up to $25.00. 10 cents-addition-will be charged for packages up to $50.00 and 25c for packages up to. a value of $100.00. For three cents ad-ditional postage the sender will bc issued a receipt showing that the ad-dressee received the package, which is a new innovation. - In the C.O.D. department the new schedule shows that a charge of 12 cents wilt be charged for collecting amounts to $10.00, 15c for amounts to $50.00 and 25c for amounts - up to $100.00. , , The money order department also shows a slight increase, which for the most part is confined to a raise of 2 cents throughout over the present rate, although the rate on $100.00 money orders which was. formerly sold at 30 cents is now reduced to 22c. DOPE DISCLOSES STEWlfillT Day of Long Ago Are-- Brought to Light by Fan Who jWell Remem-- j bers When Noah Scored the First Field Goal. ' There are many in th camp today, who in their xealousnesf proclaim the Bingham Canyon HighVSchool team as the world's greatest lpop five. This is all very good, and it iows the true spirit, and yet a fan c'oiucs along with some real dope that shows a number of peaceful residents who, when put on the same quintet, would in all probability put to rouff any leant in this grand and glorious country,, When told of this stellar aggrega-tion, many were of thTopinion that the famous five should at, pressed in-to service at once, a,there is a re-mote possibility that they could' get into the state tournament, now draw-ing to a close, and bang honor to Bingham Canyon as weS as wreathers upon their noble brows On the guard line thf all star team boasts of two of the classiest guards who ever donned a gyrtt suit. These two men arrived in Bingham Canyon many years ago, and lyct, even at that time their reputation had pre-ceded them, and many 'jhe time these two stalwart guards were asked their opinion ,and when they didn't know, they gave of their advite anyhow. On paper these two guards look to be the real goods, as licy are well built for the position, know the game from A to , and can he counted up-on to make a real mark) on the maple floor. Truly it ' can be said that in Bill Jones and Rube 'Dolly" Dahl-qui- st She All Start have a pair of ex-ceptionally' fine guards' At center the team i blessed with one of the fastest floor: men who ev-er gave his version of game. This stellar player, whose we should tUfhUbld, Vor; reasomstVe know'h trt himself, U by far on of the real finds of all time. He is tall and rangy, and although .many are of the, opinion that he would be a trifle slow in getting away from center, it must be said that, this is an asset, rather than .a liability, as this wonder player has been primed to shoot baskets from the center circle and he sure does. His work in years gone by stamps him as one of the most noble of all cen-ters.' Let us take this time to intro-duce Mr. Jim Bogan, all around (the circle) center, prophet, and basket-ball star. ' : ' Taking into consideration that speed, a keen eye, and much grace is needed for an ideal forward, Doc Bracken and George Earl have been picked for these two positions. More need not be said of their ability at shooting baskets, and playing the floor, as their reputations bode ill for the opposing side. It has been suggested that Coach Tommy McMullin be allowed the privilege of being a substitute for-ward, but the local mentor declined with thanks, stating that with" all his years of experience . in college, he would fain be excused from putting his past record in jeopardy with such stellar men as those who compose the All Star aggregation, " declaring that he felt highly complimented at being asked to join the .high class team, but did not want to take a chance in trying to compete with this stellar gang. If there are any teams in the Unit-ed States who feel they could beat the seers of Bingham, let them. ad-dress a letter to Jim Bogan, and be sure and send a stamped envelope for a return reply, as the team feels that it cannot be bothered with requests for games by cheap teams,' who in all probability would not have enough money to send a stamped envelope. Success to this stellar organization. fillll LOSES CHAMPIONSHIP Los of Firt Night at State Tourney to Parawan by 20 to 25 Score Caats Shadow of Gloom Over Camp. The Bingham High School basket-ball team, considered by many to be the logical contender for the state title, were eliminated from the right to compete for the high honor on the opening night of the state tournament when the Parawan five won a hard fought contest, 26 16 25, upsetting all dope. The Bingham team failed to liva up to expectations, playing only medi-ocre ball, and although able to keep a slight lead up to the last few sec-onds of play, were not themselves. The playing of the perfect machine was far below par, and the huge crowd of Bingham fans who journeyed to se their, heroes wended their way slowly vptthe Canyon late Wednes-day nighty ; TheBttyham-Parawa- n was by far the best game of the day, the close-ness of the score keeping more than 3000 rabid hoop fans on their feet throughout the 40 minutes of play. ' Several reasons may be attributed to the Bingham team losing the game, but to those on the inside it would look as though it was the officiating. Bingham Canyon High School is not a team to try and alibi out of a de-feat, and" neither would the Press-Bullet- in act as spokesman for such a alibi, but In all fairness to the boys who fought so valiantly Wednesday evening, and to the hundreds of Bing-ham fans who stood by Mxeir heroes, a word of explanation may not go astray.. ... When Bingham and Murray engag-ed in their tilt here on January 25, Herbert Maw was the referee, and in the first few minutes of play he call-ed no less than 6 fouls on the local players. The. crowd razzed him. and feingf HiiHoW; bhSirwayiT He sub--: sided. After the game the boys of the blue and white declared they were afraid to try and guard for fear of having a foul called. ' When the Bingham team went on the floor Wednesday evening to start its set-t- o with Parawan, they met the smiling features of the same Mr. Maw. The psychology of the thing made itself evident at the outset of the game, with the Bingham lads refus-ing to take chances at being called out on fouls. This condition may only be the ravings of an unfortunate newspaper editor, but' nevertheless the boys did not play their usual clas-sy game, and two and two is always four.. For the first time this season, Vietti of the Bingham team was taken out of the game on fouls, the local for-ward never having got as high as foul 3 since the present season opened, . The game itself was a wonder to look at, With both teams trying hard for the necessary punch to bring vic-tory. Marsdcn, Parawan - forward, won the game for his team when he made a long basket with 10 seconds to go. Allias was the leading light for the locals with a total of 16 points scored.

Les Blackner of the Magna plant was also among those present. Doc Frazicr, who already has established himself as a buffato hunter was merely a spectator during the grand and glorious session.. '. There is no use talking, the Bing-ham Canyon hunters are among the best in the world. , JUDGES ASKED FOR DECISION Awarding of Sweater to Most Valu-able Player on Bingham High School Basketball Team to be Made - Friday. Friday of next week at assembly is the time for the awarding of the handsome Bradley sweater, which is being given by the Bingham Merc, to the most valuable player " on the Bingham High School quintet. The stipulations which govern the awarding of the sweater declare that the lucky athlete must be as adept at school work as he is on the floor. His conduct both on the floor and off is also taken into consideration. . Three judges who have been asked to decide the awarding of the sweat-er will meet during the week and ar-rive, at a decision. The judges are unknown to all, thus giving the boys a fair chance at winning the beauti-ful, sweater. The sweater, which is white, with a blue monogram is said to be one of the finest ever seen in the camp, and it is the consensus of opinion that the winner will be one of the proudest lads in Bingham Canyon a week from today. The Bingham Merc, has spared no expense in its effort at giving the most valuable player a sweater that will always be remembered, and it is now on display in one of its windows.
