Countryman, who in aa interview given Wednesday:, evening declared that Bingham Cinyoa had suffered long enough for'thi want of better achool facilities, and according to Mr. Countryman, the local schools will be greatly improved." " - The fit st thing according to Mr. Countryman, will be the building dt a huge gymnasium ; at Copperfield, with a spacious amusement hall. "It is a shame," said Mr Countryman, "that the people 6? Copperfield have to do without this necessity all theae years, but the tints has arrived when something should be done, and I am going to do it. ' "Then," continued Mr. Country- - man, "I am going to see that the school house at Lark will be modern-ized. It is high time that the people of that town get a steam heated build-ing, with modern plumbing facilities." "And that isn't all," continued the newly elected school trustee, I am going to get real transportation for the school children of Highland Boy. There will not be any open wagons after I take office," "Bingham Canyon sends in about 66 per cent of the tax money of the county, and the money is going to be spent here," said. Mr. Countryman, "and I am going to see that it is rpent here." Thus it is seen that with the taking of office of Mr. C. L. Countryman, district No. 10 will soon have many improvements. First, the wonderful new gymnasium at Copperfield, then new vehicles traveling Carr Fork to and from the high choolf and then Lark wiUceytts cfehinsatioa jit the form of i modernized school building. - The people of the district ate to be congratulated upon putting into Office a man who is going to spend Bingham Canyon money in Bingham Canyon, and give the students better condi-tions throughout. SHEPHERD LOSES TO WESKETCHELL State Welterweight Champ Fails to Put Three Men Away In Prescribed Limit, and KetcheU la Given Boat Wes KetcheU of Salt Lake City went twelve rounds acre Wednesday evening at the Princess theater in the headliner of Mark Clay's great boxing carnival, before a targe crowd of ex-cited fans... (. '.' ; - !, Z; It was the greatest fight ever seen in Bingham Canyon ,and many fans, who journeyed from Salt Lake City to witness it, declared it to be the best boxing contest ever shown in the state of Utah. ., ..Vv; Mark Clays, promoter of the stellar card, is deserving of much credit for bringing together snch a galaxy of fistic stars. Every bout on the card was i good one, with plenty of action in every tilt. , The headliner of the evening, in which Ed Shepherd, welterweight champion of the state, promised to stoo three men. KetcheU. Caroenter and a lad by the name of Kloczko in twelve rounds, ended with KetcheU staying the entire twelve rounds ,and although he failed to dd much fight-ing during the first four rounds, he showed enough fighting ability and ring generalship to warrant him an-other match with the champion. A bonus to any man staying over four rounds with Shepherd, kept the wily KetcheU from showing his wares during the opening rounds of the bout but in the fifth he but let us start at round one and see what happened. Shepherd was forced to do all the leading in the opening canto, with KetcheU taking things easy, and keep-ing out of the way of Shepherd's powerful right. In the second round KetcheU again forced Shepherd to do the leading, and only once in this round did he hit Shepherd. It was the only blow delivered by KetcheU in the two opening rounds. In the third fotj,AKeet;e!J dij considerabfe more fighting, although Shepherd worked hard to get in a hay maker. The fourth round brought out the fact that KetcheU is a much better ring general than he is usually given credit for, and managed to quit even in this canto with Shepherd. KetcheU received an ovation when the fourth ended, the entire house seeming to be with him. In the fifth both men started to open up, with many hard blows being delivered. It was a great round, with Shepherd still doing the leading, al-though KetcheU managed to get in some telling blows. KetcheU went into the sixth with more courage than he had shown at any time thus far, and stood right up to Shepherd, and it was a question of give and take throughout this round. KetcheU again came to the front with his ring generalship, and smartness, and the crowd gave him a big hand when the canto ended. In the seventh, KetcheU managed to get his left working, and gave Shep-herd several hard blows. It was eas-ily Ketchell's round. The eighth showed both men mix-ing it with honors about even. In the ninth Shepherd gave KetcheU a couple of real jolts, but the left handed fight-er came back strong, and ere ir,c round ended, had won a slight shartl .: The tenth was Ketchell's grea. round. With the sound of the gong he went after Shepherd ,and after Shepherd had made a rush at him, he broke through Shepherd's guard, and gave him a jolt that lifted him from the floor.

"' ; ' Bingham Canyon has - an honest , man. Yep, and now the old man who - searches the countryside with his lan--' L ,'tern for an honest man can throw his ; flashlight away, for all he has to do Is come to our camp, and the honest ' man will be turned over to him. Space, forbids us elaborating on the - , circumstances leading to the locating . of a playmate for Mr. Diogenes, but it happened like thi-s- ' Sterling Stocker, who resides on , - - Lower Main Street, had received his check on the 25th of last month, and v " after cashing same, had tucked a few ' bills, to the amount of $60.00 in the watch pocket of his trousers. , Arriving home, Sterling proceeded to tell his family about the $60, when lo and behold, they were gone. "No ' use advertising for them," argued Sterling," as the guy who finds the roll will be about as talkative as an oyster." i Now let us leave Sterling to mourn ' his loss, and look upon the home life of our hero, Fred Meyers. Fred, be i , it known, found the roll of bills on j his way home on the 25th, but not . '. knowing who owned them, decided to ! keep mum until he heard the ravings , of the loser, and - on Thanksgiving night, he chanced to - hear Sterling V ' mention that he was now $60 poorer 'f. than he was once, as he had lost that ;; sum. ' "How did you happen to lose it," asked Fred. "Well, it slipped out of ' my pocket," answered the unfortunate ' , Sterling. "Was it in bills?" contin- - L ued Fred. "Yes," came back Sterling. f "There was two twenties and . two tens." ; "Well, well," quoth Fred", "so you are the guy who lost it,", and v . thereupon he handed over the $60 to "p - Stocked ' Not af reward would Mr. Meyers ' take, stating that he figured every r man should allow his conscience to k ' tell him what is right and wrong, and that no one should expect remunera- -' . tion .for doing. the right thing. We still insist that Mr. Diogenes j. should be notified ,and that it should be done at once. Hurrah for Bing-- s ham Canyon, the home of honest people. RAPID PROGRESS j I'MSALE Committees of Bingham Canyon Dis-trict Report Wonderful Success in Sal of Christmas Seal. ; ' K That Bingham Canyon will go over the top this year in the sale of Christ-mas seals was made manifest during the week, when the different com-mittees of this section reported a healthy sale, with indications point-ing to a most successful campaign. Much interest is being shown by the workers this year, and it is the consensus of opinion that all records will be broken in this district. Committees to have charge of the sale cf Christmas seals this year in this section were selected a few days ago by M. S. Parker of the Utah Pub-lic Health Association. He has se-lected a similar committee in the other communities of the state. Fol-lowing are the committees chosen: Bingham Canyon Chairman, Mrs. J.. F. Barkle; secretary-treasurer- ,- H. R. Atkin; C. E. Adderley, Mrs. A. C. George Reynolds, t'hil Gold-wate- r, J. B. Meyers, Miss Velma Heywood, Dr. Paul S. Richards, Dr. R. G. Frazier, Miss D'On Ashton, Miss Ethel Powell, Miss Caroline Rasmussen, Miss Aliceile Higgs, B. O. Rust, T. H. McMullen. Copperfield Chairman, Mrs. J. H. Colyar; secretary-treasure- r, Miss Ba-m- Neprude; Mrs. Harry Pitts. Highland Boy Chairman, Mrs. An-dy Cresean; secretary-treasure- r, Mrs. Paul Ransom; Mrs. Millie Jones, D. C. Watkins. Lark Chairman, Mrs. W. J. Fahr-n- i; secretary-treasure- r, Frank Grif-fith; Mrs. Robert Meyerhoffer, Mrs. R. P. Nell. FIRE APPARATUS IS IjpilATE Conditions in Camp for Fighting Fir Decidedly Poor, Particularly in the Business DistrictThere is a Rem-edy. Is Bingham Canyon equipped to handle a big fire in the business dis-trict? Is there enough water in the camp to give adequate protection to property? Many wilt step up and say that with the cutting in of the dry fork water, there is plenty of H20 in this section to take care of a dozen fires, but the fire of August 17 prov-ed conclusively that we are not in a position to battle a spreading fire. - Then again, many will say that if this hadn't happened, and that had not happened, the fire of August 17 would have been checked, but the fact remains that this did happen, and that happened, with the result that thous-ands of dollars in property went up in smoke. It is not the purpose of this story to revive memories of the fire last August, as all know that we went down with the rest, but there surely must be a remedy for the ilL One of the prominent men of the town has suggested two feasible ways of bettering our facilities for fighting fires, and both show the result of sound judgment. The first plan offered is to put in four new water tanks, two on each side of the hill bordering the business district, with each tank having a ca-pacity of 100,000 gallons. The tanks could be filled from the main line, in very short time, and it would leave the business district with 400,000 gal-lons of surplus water in case of an emergency. A bond could be float-ed for the raising of the money for this needed improvement, and with 400,000 gallons of surplus water on hand, there is not a fire that could not be stopped, no matter how much headway it had gained. . .Th; secy nV piw submitted would, 6e to have a new pipe line, a six or 8 inch pipe, running around the town, on the hills above, so that in case of fire, with the use of extra fire plugs, and extra water, a fire could soon be put under control. The last named method would be a bit more expensive than the first, but either one would do the work, and according to experts in this line of work the erecting of four tanks would be the most feasible at this time. It is to be hoped that the business men of the camp get behind this movement, and see that the tanks are forthcoming, as a repetition of last August may prove the wiping out of the entire community. Bingham Canyon is in a better fi-nancial condition at this time than any (other town In the state," and a bond issue would be just the thing for furthering the safety of our town in case of fire.

J( It is generally known that Buffalo have so increased on the government preserves, set aside for the preserva-tion of that "King of the Plains," that there is now a surplus off ihesevani-mal- s, over and above what can be properly taken car of, according to Mr.- - G. H. West, government" repre-sentative of the National Bison Range of Montana, who visited In Bingham Canyon Saturday of last week. : Eact district in the Mountain region is being allowed the privilege of hav-ing some Buffalo meat, according to Mr, West, who, it is said, made ar-rangements while here to have the Bingham Canyon' Meat Company act as distributor in this section. 'i The Montana National Bison Re-serve was stocked in 1909 with j 41 head of Buffalo, selected for type, from three distinct herds in widely separated' districts of ' the United States. The ideal conditions prevail-ing on the Montana reserve will ' be readily understood when it is known that the her has increased faster and with fewer losses that! any other herd in the country. There are now about 700 buffalo on the range and to main-tain these ideal conditions the .de-partment at Washington has conclud-ed to dispose of the surplus, some alive to parks, and some are being slaughtered for distribution to the people through the provision dealers. A slaughter house has been estab-lished and every precaution is being taken to see that the meat product reaches the meat markets in first class condition, according to Mr., West. Bingham - Canyon will have-it-share of the' meat which will probably arrive here early in January, said Mr. West.

Chiara will be one of the guards, and , the other guard position lies between Gibbs of BoxeldeK Ilirk of Lehi and Porter of Richfield. The game will start at 8 sharp. , WE SMILE During the week a certain party received a package through the mails, according to the fellow himself, from an agent as he called him (we call 'em peddlers), and found that he had paid about 75c more than the Agent had quoted him, and naturally he was boiling mad. He has asked several folks of the camp where he could go to get reparation, but no one seemed to be able to help him out of his Far be it from us to butt in, but if said party will just subscribe to the Press-Bulleti- n, and read our themes on buying at home, he wiU not be troubled with lying peddlers i again. Which only goes to show that there is always a way out of every diffi-culty. AT HIGHLAND BOY Parent-Teache- rs Association of High-land Boy Successfully Organized Wednesday Evening Officers Are . Elected, , The Parent-Teache- association of Highland Boy was organized Wed-nesday evening of this week at the Highland Boy School House, with a record attendance present to elect of-ficers for the coming year. Mr. Sid Pregaskis was elected president, Mr. D. E. Watkins, vice president and Clernyth Jensen, secre-tary and treasurer. The evening opened with a violin solo by Miss Frances Ball, followed by a talk by Professor Lars W. Niel-sen of Sandy. Robert Colyar follow-ed with a piano selection and then Superintendent Jensen of the Jordan School District spoke on "Schools in America as they are today." Miss Aliceile Higgs gave a clever reading followed by a talk by Miss Van Nay .n "Health and Education." After the completing of the pro-ra-the association was organized, tolfowed by the election of officers, and the choosing of an executive com-mittee composed of Mrs. Ball, Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Jensen, Mrs. Kreasen and Mrs. Groenning. It was decided that a huge com-munity Xmas tree should be erected for the children of Highland Boy, and a dance will be given at the school House Saturday, December 18. Much enthusiasm was sliown, and every one present voted to get behind the new parent-teache- rs association, j HiGHT SCHOOL IS SUCCESSFUL Many Students Take Advantage of Opportunity to Learn Typewriting and Bookkeeping Added to List of Studies. Night school at the Bingham High School is proving quite popular, ac-cording to principal H. R. Atkin. Many new students are entering each week, and typewriting and bookkeep-ing have been added to the list of sub-jects taught. "Although we are more than pleas-ed with the results obtained since we opened the night school, we can still stand a few more pupils, and with the addition of a commercial course we expect to have an extra large enroll-ment within the next few days," said Mr. Atkin. The three courses now being taught at the night school are English, Cit-izenship and Commercial, Mrs. Edna P. Wade, head of the English department of the Bingham High School has charge of that branch in the night school, and all phases of English from the fourth grade to the last year of high school is being taught. In the Citizenship course, Mr. At-kin, who has charge of this depart-ment, stated that many foreigners are taking advantage of this opportunity to improve themselves. Mrs. Waldis, head of the Commer-cial course in the Bingham High is in charge of that branch during night school, and for those .who work dur-ing the day and wish to become ef-ficient in commercial work, the night school is a good way out. As has been said, the course in night school is absolutely free and if the teachers are willing to give up their time, the people of the camp should be willing to respond to their efforts. Night school is held every Monday and Wednesday evening from 7:30 to 9:30, and it is to be hoped that those of the camp desirous of bettering themselves will take advantage of this golden opportunity. GIVES PICTURE TO NEW HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Joe Kemp, of the Utah Light and Power Co., has given the Bing-ham Canyon High School the plate from which the picture of the New High School was made, as it appeared in the Coppertonian and the Bingham Canyon Press-Bulleti- n. ' Mr. Kemp took the picture a week ago, and gave the plates to the school for future use, a gift much appreciat-ed by the students and faculty of the Bingham School. The Press-Bullet- in takes this meth-od of thanking Mr. Kemp and the powers that be at the High School for the use of the plate, the picture appearing in the November 28th issue of the Press-Bulleti- n. BROTHERHOOD WITH- - - OUT CEREMONY Fraternalism, like other great move ments, has made rapid strides in re cent years. Business men, profes- - ' sional men, and other men, Kave got ten the idea that they should get to gether to work out civic problems and promote good feUowship around th ' luncheon table as well as in the lodge room. Hence the great organizations known as "service" clubs; and they are in trutb service clubs because their motto is service to the com-munity. ' " ' '. . t The Bingham Canyon Kiwanis club is a fitting example of what can be , ' done by a group of civic minded s, whose creed is but the golden rule in business and community life, and whose regalia is but the sack suit of the street, store or office. If they have any "secrets" they are in the fact that the people at Urge of Bingham Canyon probably do not ful-ly know aU that these men accomp-lish, for the reason that much of their work is done quietly and without pomp or show. . , The members of the Bingham Can-yon Kiwanis Club have the welfare of this community at heart. They are giving their time, their money, and their loyalty to make it a better, big-ger, cleaner and more spirited town. Incidentally they are bringing oat and developing community leaders from within their own ranks. It is Jack, 7 Tom and Bill with them. They are not snobbish. They are elbow-rubber- s, which always makes They are a civic asset that we could ill afford to b without. ' ' The Red Cross drive under the di-rection of Mrs. Eugene Morris was closed Saturday of last week. A sum of was realized. Mrs. Morris was agisted by Mrs. J. B. Myers, Mrs. Frank Mitchell, Mrs. James Barkle and Mrs. Will Myers. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Jones and Mrs. W. B. Hull were Salt Lake visitors Saturday. I Basketball i . Last year there was considerable 1 controversy at the end of the basket-- baU season concerning the tactics us- - ': : ed by the' L. D. S. School in winning U an empty state championship. The $ story of their downfall is too well V - known to bear repeating, but for the ,t sake of those who do not remember the circumstances, early this Spring at the annual state tournament, it might be weU to state that some one spUled f the beans, after L. D. S. had gobbled --i . every other team in the state, and told j I that the Saints were using inelegible I j! w ' players to further their ambitions. i Salt Lake papers were quite profuse in n explaining why it should not receive J ' publicity, but the PRESS-BULL-TIN, ever sponsoring clean athletics, r - and-tellin- the truth about the un- - . clean, declared at that time that L. D. S. should be suspended for the period of one year from athletic ac- - . .'' tivities with the other schools of the 7 district. Considerable controversy ensued during the footbaU season just - closed, and as far as this paper is able j,. to learn, the championship for high ,y school football is still muddled up. 1 But we are not going to talk about ' ; footbaU, but of basketball, which is the next sport on the docket, and to - many Bingham Canyon folks, the " ' most important of all the sports. rK meeting held during the past - ' week in Salt Lake ended with East ' High, West High, Ogden and Provo High Schools dropping out of the ,i State High School Athletic associa-- i tion, and they are going to have a I schedule of their own. Now, we find t that the Salt Lake district is short - members from their j - two organization. What is going to be done? Are the powers that be going to rule that I Bingham Canyon and Jordan must I , enter into the Salt Lake ranks? It is I a cinch that Jordan would not sahc- - v . v tion any such move as they still feel j . in the valley school that L. D. S. . (Continued on Page 11) .? A CHRISTMAS SUGGESTION- - It is an appropriate gift, not always an expensive gift, that really counts at Christmas time. - Thought in selecting what the other person likes is ap-preciated more than the mere money value of the article. The Christmas gift is a new link in the chain binding old friendships together. When you are wondering what to get for the old pal or companion who has moved far away from Bingham Canyon, think how hungry that person is for news of the old town. One of our best out of town subscribers wrote to us the other day as follows: "One of the big events of the week is the arrival of the Press-Bulleti- You can't imagine how I devour every bit of news about my old friends and acquaintances. I want to learn how they are getting on in the world how their families are doing. Who is married who passed away all of these things make the paper seem at least as interesting as a newsy letter from one of my old friends." ; This is why a subscription to the Press-Bullet- in is an ideal Christmas gift. It revives in the mind of your distant friend the memory of happy days .you have spent together. It comes fifty-tw- o times in the year as a memento of your thoughtfwlness. Stop in at the office the next time you are passing by. Phone 151, or mail us an order, and we will have the paper started on or about Christmas and send a letter to your friend telling that it will come for the following year as a Christmas gift from you. SORENSEN SELECTED HEAD OF HOOP SQUAD Roscoe Sorensen, of the Engineer-ing department of the Utah Copper was chosen manager of the basket ball team for the coming season, at a meeting of the Utah Copper Ath-letic association held Friday evening of last week. The first practice under the new manager was held Wednesday eve-ning at the Robert Gemmell Memor-ial gym, and although it is too early to find out much about the contest-ants, it is understood that the Copper will have a much faster team this year than that which represented them last season.
