Show VOLUME FIFTY-FOU- R BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, OCTOBER 2, 1925 ; NO. 40 CLEVER THEMES BY SOPHOMORES' Accounts of Imaginary Fire Written By Second Year High School Pu-pils Causes Favorable Comment. That the Sophomore class of the Bingham High School is composed of several literary geniuses was made known the past week, when the fol-lowing essays were submitted. Writ-ing the stories without the assistance of as much as a foundation, the pupils showed rare skill in the handling of the following messages. " SMOKER IT CLUB PROVEiPOPM Snappy Bouts and Keen Wrestling Match Thrills Huge Audience in First Entertainment of Fall Season The Gemmell Memorial Club house opened its fall season Tuesday eve-ning of this week with a high class smoker that thrilled a large athletic audience. Much credit should be given the athletic committee for its part in choosing the different bouts, for as a whole they were the best seen at the club in a long time. Although boxing formed the open-ing feature of the evening, the wrest-ling match between Ira Dern of Salt Lake City and Joe Hackenschmidt of Chicago, provided the real action of the attractive card. On Labor Day at Lyndall, Utah, these two men met, in one of the fiercest bouts ever wit-nessed in this state, honors being about even, with each man having a fall. They met at the Gemmell Memorial Club house Tuesday evening, with blood in their eye. It was a question of do or die. For 54 minutes both men worked with might and main for the coveted fall, and although both were victims of several wicked holds, honors remained about even through-out the bout. "Hack" was the aggres-sor for the greater part of the first half hour, but was unable to do much with the wily Dern. After 54 minutes and 50 seconds, Dern ripped "Hack's" tights, and when the Chicago grap-pl- er reached for the ripped spaces, the foxy Dern got a step-ove- r toe hold on the Dutchman, and sensing trouble if he let his tights slip off, Hack gave up, although he declared after the fall that Dern could never have held him if it haden't been for the tights falling. After a 10 minute rest, the grapplers came back for the last six minutes and Hack put forth every effort to even matters but without much luck. The bout was fast from start to fin-is- h, and Hack won many friends with his cleverness. He is by far the toughest opponent Dern has had in Bingham Canyon. Getting back to the boxing bouts of the evening. The opener between Bobby Gannis of Denver and Lester Hughes of the Utah Copper electric shop proved to be one of the best bouts of the evening. Both lads started with the opening gong to mix it and continued this policy for the four rounds. There was plenty of'ac-tio- n in every round and not a dull moment marred the encounter. Kid Davis who refereed the bout called it a draw. It was a popular decision. Ralph Mondt of Salt Lake City and Johnnie Woodmansee of the Utah Copper were the next two in the ring and with Woodmansee still suffering from rope burns as the result of his clash with Bloc Valdez Saturday of last week, the bout was rather tame. Plenty of love taps were exchanged during the first three rounds, but in the fourth round Woodmansee open-- ' cd up, and easily earned the decision. An exhibition by the Rowan broth-- 1 crs was followed by a shower'of silver for these mute stars of days gone by. Goldie Snyder of Salt Lake City lost a four-roun- d decision to Sam Wright of the Utah Copper in the next affair. Wright led all the way, severely punishing Snyder in every round, and Referee Garity's decision was popular. . Music for the evening was furnished by the newly organized Utah Copper Club Orchestra, and their efforts were roundly applauded. ! Joe Berger and his famous hot dogs also had much bearing on the suc- - cess of the entertainment. BENEFIT BOUTS GREAJLSUCCESS Best Card in Years Given to Fans at Tappero Testimonial. Fight fans who attended the Tap-pero Benefit Bouts Saturday evening of last week at the Princess were treated to y far the best boxing show ever presented in this town. Action rrom start to finish, thrill-ed the huge crowd, and if there was anything missing to complete a real evening's entertainment it has been overlooked in the shuffle. To start with, every fight on the big card was well balanced, every con-testant did his best during his stay in the roped arena. Perhaps the real fight of the eve-ning from the fan's standpoint was the four round tilt between Bloc Val-dc- z of the Highland Boy Athletic Club and Johnnie Woodmansee of the Utah Copper. With the opening gong Valdez rushed his opponent, and after forty seconds, Woodmansee hit the mat. Referee Edwards declared a foul had been committed, and award-ed the tilt to Woodmansee. The lat-ter, however, declared it being a ben-efit bout, would rest for five minutes, and continue. After starting again, Valdez again started his rushing tac-tics, and with both men out to win, plenty of action was seen in the in-itial round which ended about even. Woodmansee probably took a slight shade in the second round although there was plenty of clinching. The third round showed Valdez taking the lead with his being the aggressor, and his infighting easily gave him the third canto. The last round was a dinger. Both men start-ed with blood in their eye, with plen-ty of steam accompanying each wal-lop. In the clinches, which Referee Edwards had considerable trouble in breaking, Valdez sent in some telling punches, and after the last round had been in progress 1 minute and 30 sec-onds, Edwards, in trying to break up a "clinch, received a "coupler of jolts from Valdez. Edwards retaliated with a right and a left, and seconds stopped further action. Edwards im- - mediately awarded the clash to Wood-mansee. After the fight, Valdez claimed Edwards held his arms when breaking the clinches and twice Woodmansee jolted him while in this condition. Whether or not this was the case is not known, but nevertheless it fur-nished the fans with plenty to howl about for a few minutes. The next fight of importance, with regard to action, was the four-roun- d affair between Sam Kloszko of Bing-ham Canyon, and Rudolph Stanwen-de- r of the Highland Boy Athletic Club. These two middle weights started with a rush, and when they landed they shook the building, and they landed often. This fight was by far the best ever seen in Bingham Canyon, and would have been a fea-ture event in any city in this grand and glorious country. Stanwender took a decided advantage in the first three rounds, punishing Kloszko se-verely. The fourth round was the real surprise, when Kloszko, with several hard jolts, slowed the over-zealo- Rudolph up a bit, and came within an ace of getting a draw. Stan-wender was given the decision by Referee Edwards, which failed to meet with the approval of the fans, who it is claimed figured the worst Kloszko should have received was a draw. The main event, a six round clash between Wes Ketchell and Red Briggs as the features, was good enough to look at, with honors about even throughout. The fourth was the best in this bout, when several hard blows were exchanged. Referee called it a draw. The opening clash of the evening, a three round battle between George Badovintz and Tom Be.tia, two lads from the Highland Boy Athletic Club, was a dandy, with both boys trying hard. George Strand, another member of the Highland Boy Athletic Club mix-ed four fast rounds with Kid Baker, the Carr Fork terror. This fight was a dandy, with Baker trying to put over a Kayo, while Strand shook the Carr ForTt battler several times with jolts to the chin. This was called a draw. Billy Hughes and Monte Martir gave the fans plenty of action fo four rounds, with Referee Edward: calling it a draw. Ralph Mondt o: Lake City made short work of ISalt Peterson putting him to sice: after one minute and 25 seconds j HARD PICKI'28 The present editor of the Press-Bulleti- n took charge on April first of last year, and like most weekly newspaper editors found the sledding pretty rough, and at this time is not afraid to tell the readers of this newspaper that the sledding is still not being done on a bed of roses. On April 1, 1924, the Press-Bulleti- n had a circulation of 31 bona fide subscribers over 1000 papers were used for this current issue. ; A newspaper that takes a definite stand is more or less in hot water all the time, and the Press-Bulleti- n has been no exception. It has tried in the past 18 months to give the people of Bingham Canyon the TRUTH in all matters, and as the truth sometimes does hurt, this paper has made many enemies. Of course, we all know that friends are better than enemies, and yet it is said that an enemy is always the best booster. Be this as it may, the Press-Bulleti- n has found that its enemies have been detrimental rather than beneficial. Unfortunately, the enemies of the Press-Bulleti- n have been a class of persons who, like an owl, have worked in the dark, always under-handed, and never with enough nerve to come out in the open and fight like a man. The Press-Bulleti- fearing no one, has always tried to be open and above board, thus the fighting tactics of the Press-Bulleti- n and its enemies have not been in harmony, so to speak. The result of these encounters thus far have been what could be termed a draw, that is, until the last week, when the underhanded work of a few almost cleaned out the Press-Bulleti- and the work of the past 18 months of the present editor. j Trying to demoralize and smash up the circulation campaign of the Press-Bulleti- which has held the interest of the locals for the past six weeks, it looked rather blue and dismal to ye editor, but as right always pre-vails, the sun again is shining, although one never knows when the clouds will County officials, who in the discharge of their duties are supposed to be neutral, are said to have used their influence to corrupt the numerous candidates, one in particular being alleged to have told most of the residents in his district "not to throw their money away." Remarks that the Press-Bulleti- n would be closed for all time by October 1, as far as the present editor is concerned are alleged to have been passed out-b- y some of our "friends." Another declared the Press-Bulleti- n would not function during the coming town election, under the leadership of the present editor. After this elaborate explanation, we come to the real object of this message. The Press-Bulleti- n wants friends, needs friends, but IT IS NOT AFRAID OF ITS ENEMIES. It wants the support of every respectable, law abiding citizen within the zone of its circulation. It wants everyone who is for the right, to support it. It wants YOU to do your bit to break up the underhanded clique that is at present doing its best to close the Press-Bulleti- Personally, we like Bingham Canyon, we want to stay here, we want to help fight the battles of the people, we want to expose the corruptness of certain people, whose white collar and smooth tongue thus far have failed to fool us, although many have fallen victim to their rabble. Once more, folks, we ask your assistance, your moral support, to help us overthrow these miserable hypocrites, whose efforts are purported to un-dermine the prosperity of this community. ATTEi CHURCH Sabbath Day in Bingham Canyon Is Quiet as Result of Absence of Law's Arms. According to reports the three sher-iffs of Bingham Canyon are real church folks, for it is claimed they leave the camp every Sunday morn-ing for parts unknown, and being it is claimed that Sunday is the day for going to church, it is the consensus of opinion that the three are else-where attending services. It has been suggested that a prize be given to the person sending in the correct solution as to the where-abouts on a Sunday of the three sher-iffs who are supposed, according to Teports, to be in Bingham Canyon in the discharge of their duties. All those wishing to compete for the prize are requested to send their solution to the office of the Sons of Rest and Never Sweats, from which place suit-able prizes will be awarded. A call to the sheriff's office Sunday is said to have revealed the fact that all three custodians of the law were away from town, that it is alleged to be a regular Sunday occurrence, and that it is a known fact among the folks of the camp that this condition exists. A phone call to a questionable es-tablishment in Copperfield is said to have revealed the fact that the party answering the phone knew enough to tell to alleged seekers of information that the sheriff of that district is in Salt Lake ,and that he goes in every Sunday. The same thing is alleged to have occurred in Highland Boy. It is the consensus of opinion that if people are paid to work seven days a week, they are supposed to do so, unless they are docked for the day in which they are alleged to be in church. Bingham Canyon has always been a law abiding community, and especial-ly on Sunday, and for the first time in the history of the camp the reason is alleged' to' nave been discovered." Knowing there are no sheriffs in Bingham Canyon, the natives would fain refrain from wrong doing it is said. Many people of Bingham Can on are wondering why so many sheriffs are needed in Bingham Canyon, it is said, but it is claimed that only one is SUPPOSED TO BE HERE AT A TIME. The other two are sup-posed to be in Highland Boy and Copperfield respectively. "Something is wrong," said one res-ident of the camp, "because Pay Day I saw all three of them from early evening until late at night in Lower Bingham Canyon." "Don't they ever have a pay day in Copperfield or Highland Boy?" Another prize is also to be given it is said, to the per-son sending in the correct answer to this question. DRIVERS ASKED TOBECnREFOL Speeding of Cars Past Local Schools to be Punished to Fullest Extent of the Law. That the local authorities mean business is manifest in the mandate issued from the city hall during the past week, declaring all offenders who persist in speeding past the school buildings of Bingham Canyon will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Officials declared that no excep-tions will be made and all offenders will be treated with the same amount of courtesy, namely, a good stiff Local school authorities are doing all in their power to assist city offi-cials, and during4noon hours and re-cess times a lad may be seen each day with a red flag, showing the autoist the danger zone. This method of in-forming the motorist of the impend-ing danger is worthy of comment, but a step further could be taken as a matter of safeguarding the lives of the school children. Pupils of the. high school could be stationed at intervals between the high school and grammar grade build-ings, and be vested with, the authority to stop and arrest every person who is caught speeding past the restricted zone. According to reports there IS a city ordinance declaring it unlawful for a person to drive a car past a school building in Bingham Canyon during the noon hour and during re-cess except in shifted gear. Very few, if any, observe this ordinance, and with older lads stationed on the side-walk, it wouldn't take but a few days to force the offender to realize that the ordinance should and must be ad-hered to. This plan has been worked out in larger cities with great success, and there is no reason why. it wouldn't stop the speeder in this community. With the city, and school author-ities working hand in hand, the speed menace in Bingham Canyon could be brought to a minimum, and the reck-less driver with little or no regard for human life would at last get his just dessert. M LEI OOEEAR FACTOPURJED Bingham Partners in Sad Plight No Injuries New Building to Be Built. . By George Pazell Bingham Canyon, Utah, Sept. 1 The million dollar toothpick factory, owned by Alvin Hall and Gino Dell-agnol- a, was destroyed by fire at three o'clock this morning. There were no injuries. When informed of the fire, the partners fainted and did not gain consciousness for two hours. After gaining'consciousness, they hurried to the Vrones and Pazell Fire Insurance Co., where they received five hundred thousand dollars damages. They im-mediately gave the Turpin Bros: Con-tractors the money to set up a new building. Fire Starts in Morning The fire started about 3 o'clock when the night watchman fell asleep and his pipe dropped on a pile of'old rags and paper. It was well burning when Watchman Wilson woke up. He huriedly phoned to Chief Prigmore "of the' 'Highland" 'Boy Fire Depart-men- t. But after several hours of sprinkling the factory was burnt down. SHETLAND PONY TO BE GIVEN .

COPPER ORCHESTRA PLEASES HUGE CROWD A large crowd attended the Prin-cess theatre Sunday evening to hear the Copper Orchestra, Bingham Can-yon's newest music makers. These clever lads, seven in number, sur-prised their most ardent admirers with their clever selections. The last number, "The Rainbow Trail," com-posed by the piano player, Mr. Nor-man Nathan, proved to be one of the best numbers presented. More should be heard from 'this sterling aggrega-tion of syncopators.

Three Men Lose Their Lives Many Hurt By Mildred Ball A great fire started at Bingham Canyon Meat Market. The fire start-ed from a lighted cigarette that had been thrown on the floor. There were several small children in the building at the time of the fire, but no harm came to any one of them. The people, who occupied rooms up over the market, were rushed out, not being able to save any of their be-longings. The firemen worked all the next building. The people who oc-cupied this building saved most of their belongings. The fire continued downward to the third house. The building was in- - sured, so the owner didn't suffer quite as big a loss, as he would have had it not been insured. The firemen worked all the more faster and checked the burning of the fourth house. Three firemen risked going on the roof of one building, and the roof caved in, killing two of them instantly, and the other man died in less than three hoits later. Several firemen received bruises and burns. The fire started at 6:45 in the eve-ning and was not checked until 12:15. Many people witnessed the destroy-ing of furniture and many other house hold things. Cars were not allowed to pass up through the streets while the fire was raging. The next day, while; looking over the ruins, a small boy found a dia-mond breast pin. It was turned over to the police department until the owner came to claim it. The people, who owned the land on which the buildings had been built, ire planning ..to rebuild as soon as possible.

PARKING Last week, in this column, we dwelt at length concerning an ordin-ance which could be passed prohibit-ing the parking of cars within the city limits of Bingham Canyon. Many comments have been heard during the past week ,and for the greater part they were favorable. Car owners also were free to admit it would be safer to have the car off the street than take a chance of having someone smash into it, and probably cost more than six months storage at the rate of twenty-fiv- e cents per day, which was the amount agreed upon by local garages. Bingham Canyon with its one street, and a narrow one at that, has no room for the parking of cars. Every foot of room is need-ed for cars coming and going, and an ordinance should be passed so that this dream could be made a reality. Let's have an ordinance prohibiting cars from parking within the city limits of Bingham Canyon. STREETS GET COAT OF OIL Following the policy of ridding the community of dust, and making an effort to get the streets of Bingham Canyon in tip top condition for the coming winter months, the city offi-cials, aided by the personal super-vision of Billy Robbns, started out Monday evening of this week to oil the streets ,and with a huge oil tank-er working all night spread more than 6000 gallons of the dust laying fluid on Main street, Carr Fork and Mark ham. i BADGE IS LOST I During the past week, Chief Carlson I of No. 1 Fire Department of Bingham I Canyon has been searching for his chief badge, which has been lost for I several days. The badge is the prop- - l erty of the Bingham Canyon Volun- - leer Fire department, and anyone finding same is requested to return it I to either Chief Carlson or any vol- - unteer fireman. lb --: t 1 1 Press-Bulleti-n Campaign i !
