' , , Death came after an illness of but w1 ten days, Bishop Wright being strick-en with typhoid fever Saturday, Sep-tember 27', 'His --condition' became serious Tuesday, September 30, when he was removed from the family rts idence at 174.

' t Bishop Wright was born in Ameri-can Fork, October 12, 1875, the son of Frederick and Margaret Wright. His early life was spent in American Fork, where he was employed at the American Falls Laundry and later connected with Chipman's Grist Mill. In 1897 he left on a mission to the southern states, returning in 1900. On April 18, 1901, he married Miss June Shelley of American Fork. Three children, Stephen J., Joseph Shelley, and Glenn Arthur, blessed this union. Joseph Shelley died here December 24, 1922, after a short ill-ness, and Stephen J- - died here No-vember 22, 1923. Glenn Arthur is now a student of the University of Utah. Bishop James, Arthur Wright came to Bingham Canyon September 18, 1906, and opened a laundry in what was then known as Lead Mine. He was there but a short time when he sold out, accepting a position a short time later with Mr. Eckman, who was at tint time operating the. Bingham Steam Laundry. When the Royal Laundry purchas-ed the Bingham Steam Laundry in 1912, Bishop Wright affiliated himself with the Salt Lake concern,. and in 1916 was made manager of lie Bing-ham plant, the position he held at the time of his death. He was ordained a Bishop of the Bingham Ward of the Jordan Stake in 1913, after having been superinten-dent of Sunday School here. Bishop James Arthur Wright was a church worker since early child-hood, having been prominent in M. I. A. work in American Fork before cominp to Bingham Canyon. Not only was he an ardent church worker, but also did he claim the distinction of being one of Bingham Canyon's foremost citizens, being a member of the Town Board since No-vember, 1921, and at the time of his untimely death was Town Treasurer, having been appointed to that posi tion of trust, after the resignation of Postmaster Boyd J. Barnard, from the Town Council. . He was an active member of the Bingham Canyon Kiwaiiis club, ever Hugh A. Wright of Rexburg, Idaho, and J. E. Wright of Long Beach, Cal-ifornia, and five sisters, Mrs. David Condor, Mrs. H. A. Cheevcr and Mrs. Frank Bush of American Fork, and Mrs. C. G. Myers and Mrs. Roy Wil-cox of Bingham Canyon. It is not ours to say when and how our beloved ones should be taken from us, neither is it ours to question the doings of Our Father, and even in this hour of our bereavement, for the entire community mourns with t lid bereaved f imily, let us "lift up our eyes unto the hills whence enmeth our help," and remember that our Creator is all knowing and all wise, and let us, in our sadness remember that although the flesh has gone, the spirit of our beloved Bishop James Arthur Wright will ever be present in (Continued ou Page 6) willing to do his bit toward the up-lifting of the community.

Vi . v"1"" Mr. Lucas, after giving a' short sketch of the remarkable life of Rob-ert Campbell Gemmell, it eloquent words eulogized the life of the great man whose life had been an inspira-tion to others. ;" .' 'v , 'Telling of the wonderful jichieve-ment- s of Mr. Gemmell, Mr.V Lucas told of his phenominal rise in the world of great engineers, and stressed upoiy the fact that Robert Campbell Gemmell was more than one of the greatest ot engineers, that he was all a man ,a man beloved by all who knew him ,a man ever willing to put out a helping hand to the less for-tunate. He told of the love Mr. Gem-mell had for the great Utah Copper family, how his every heart beat puls-ed for those assisting him in his great, effort. ; ' .

Those who have heard Rev. v$iinp-kin- s were enthralled by his eloquent flow of language, many being of the opinion that his close relationship with the late Robert C. Gemmell brought forth the innermost feelings of his heart. . f Part of the address was give"n over to the workers of this great institu-tion, and his advise the great gather-ing of employees was simple and in few words: "Give your employer a dollar's worth of your energy for ev-ery dollar they pay you," said" Rev. Simpkins in his talk to the workers. "This great institution does not ask more than a 50-5- 0 break with its em-ployees." "Do what you are expected to do, and the Utah Copper company will be satisfied with your effort," he concluded. ' A wonderful bron;e bust of the late Robert Campbell Gemmell, a gift to the club front his widow, was unveil-ed. The sculpturing is perfect, and was done by C. E. Dallin, a Utali sculptor now living in Boston. It will remain in the library at th new club house. A crowd estimated at 1200 attendee the services, which were followed bj refreshments and a dance. : ; , Whose Fault Is It? : ' r ' "' : ., , V- la our issue of last week under this same caption, wt dwelt at length concerning the tactics employed by a certain Murray mstfritiorC and ss far as we were concerned, enough had been said, but during the week we have heard many commnts on the editorial and all seem to be of the opinion that the subject was merely scraped ss far as Bingham Canyoiis corcerned. . It is the consensus of opinion that every merchant iia this community at some time is hindered by the persistent pleadings of peddlers who Infest the camp. '- - ' . . , We recall one day last week when a slight flurry of Snow chased most of the folks of the camp under cover. Working up and down Main street were two young fellows with a load of blankets under their arms. At each house did they stop, and torment the busy housewife, until in some instances this individual bought a blanket rather than waste time trying to tell this salesman that she was well fixed for blankets.' v Wondering why these two fellows Were meeting with success, we po-litely wslked over to one of them and asked to see the blankets. (They, of course, did not know how much we loved peddlers.) ( After getting a few prices and looking over their assortment, we went to,one of the mer-cantile establishments of the town, and folks, as true .at you are reading this, the same blankets were to be had from a Bingham Canyon merchant at a saving of from, two to four dollars. This is not Written from mere hear-sa- but from an actual experience. ; ' Then we began to investigate, and discovered that these and many oth-ers are delivering as they sell. If we are not mistaken, tUere.Js an ordinance stating that such business methods must be carried ouV with the aid of a license. Now we are wondering if these blanket peddlers are, paying a license, or whether the legitimate business man of Bingham Canyon pays it for him. , . " " ' The next time a peddler of blankets stops at YOUR house, tell him "No, thank you," and CLOSE THE DOOR. V Then we were accosted by a fellow who told us he was selling neck-ties, "from the factory to your neck." - He started to tell us what wonderful merchandise he was selling,' but we interrupted and inquired where the ties were manufactured. He mentioned a large town in Illinois, and we sug-gested that he peddle his wares in this place as the people of that town surely should not be slighted in getting such a wonderful commodity. He told us we were narrow between the eyes, and that ho had talked to our type before. We told him that if he talked to enough of us he would go back where he ties were made. ' - :.yV j '. These are only two instances which the localite is asked to put up with, and what gets our goat is the fact that so many people fall for this line of bunk.- - ' ,, .' . ' . ' ' The merchants of this community are working on a legitimate margin of profit,, and are willing at all times to assist in taking care of your wants. Another instance was cited the other day when a lady told merchant in this town that she had foolishly given a peddler an"order for two pair of silk hose for $2.50, and gave a dollar deposit This happened in July, and the good woman is still waiting for her hosiery- - This isn't the worst, as she noticed that she could buy the same hose in Bingham Canyon lor 79 cents a pair. - .'

MCLUB HOUSE IS IifllCEIJT : Robert Campbell Gemmell MemorwLy-"- "" Club Is Most Elaborate Structure in State.,., ; ., .i-- , The Robert C. Gemmell Memorial Club House for Utah Copper employ ees, on Carr Fork, was thrown open to the public Monday evening, and ' adjectives fail to express the mag-nificence, the beauty and the elabor-ate furnishings c'f what many claim to be the greatest building of its kind in the west.' Perhaps in giving a description of the new edifice it would be well to ; .quote some of the remarks overheard n, Monday evening. One woman . Lstated that it ranked with any she had ever seen, and she (.claimed to v " have seen the best of them. - ' Then another came .forth with the " rcmarC that when inside, one forgot they were in Bingham Canyon. StiU another said it was without a doubt the finest workman's club in the en-- " x, tire country, - . founded We couldn't conceive suci' I a thing- of beaut, "such "grandeur in Uingham Canyon. JJie the prover-bial yokel. We stood at the portal , with mouth wide open, gaping at the splendor, and perchance many f the huge gathering present thought we had never seen a new building before. Well, we are free to admit that we never had seen such an elaborate club house. " And wc dont feel that we will be sued- for libel when we state that we doubt very much if there w"ere any present who had conceived such a work of art. The trimmings over the entire building are in copper, not a stone has been left unturned in making tt , a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Entering the magnificent copper trimmed double doors one is taken into the spacious hall, where, leading to the left, is a lounging room, and ' ' in the nortlt part of the wing is the billiard roopi : which contains two pocket billiard and one billard table.-- On the south of the loungmgroom is , the sun porch, with its many iopper trimmed lights. ' ' ,. To the East of the Billiard room i the kitchen, and oh! what a kitchen. A beautiful copper ice box," and a copper sink, and a most '.wonderful heating oven adorns this rooht. Going to the next door one is,t ifcrn, ' to the gymnasium, one of the Jarest- - ,' in the state, with a balcony for spec- - ' ' tators. "Truly wonderfur.aid a man next to os. .fBctter than that,", said ' we. - .'

From the library, following - the, main corridor, one is soon located on the balcony floor of the gymnasium. Coming back down the stairs, anoth-er stair case leads to the ladies' bait-ing room, on the third floor, furnish-ed as one woman said, "Better than a palace."

Joe Geisler, aged 10, son of Mrs. V Joe Geisler of 69 Carr Fork was ":- -' ' struck down Monday at 12:45 on Main street in front of the Bingham ' Hospital when he jumped from a truck and stepped directly infront of a Ford car driven by Ray Jackson of ' Markham.

Riding on the truck on his way to - school, and seeing some school chums Joe decided to walk. to school with : them, and in jumping from the truck . ; . , landed directly in front of the moving auto. That Jackson was driving real , slowly was made manifest in the fact . that only the front part of the car ! passed over the boy's body, the fen- - ,. ' r, der doing most of the damage. .

Paul Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Miller of Lower Main street, was seriously injured Wednesday af-ternoon when he was struck by an auto driven by A .B. Casady, an em-ployee of the B and G. railroad. According to reports, Paul, who is but nine years of age, with two other playmates, was "hooking" a ride on a truck, and in jumping off ran in front of the Casady car, which was returning from Salt Lake City. At the hour of going to press, Taul was in a precarious condition, with a fractured skull, a leg broken and three fractured ribs, although late reports coming from the hospital stated that the unfortunate child showed an im-proved condition after the first night. In another part of this issue we have chronicled another accident in which a youngster was run down by a passing auto through his own neg-ligence. We have ended the story with a short editorial as to where to lay the blame. It has been said that parents can-not watch every move made by a child, but we maintain that a severe punishment meted out to the offender would not go amiss. The old adage, "Spare the rod and spoil the child," could be changed iti Bingham Canyon to "Use the rod and save the child," that is, at least until the youngsters had been tauf-1i- t theii lesson relative to climbing onto mov-ing vehicles. A stitch in time save; nine. , ' ' "rANbREvv! Tt&Gts;! Class 1925, Bingham High School v -- v. : (Editor's Note The ; following theme, written by a Bingham High School student, clearly shows the ef-ficient training given the pupils of this institution in English. How many high schools of the state could boast of a student with the keen fore-thought as presented by Andrew Hadges of the class of 1925?) What makes a human being happy? Does Money, does Recreation or Pleasure, or does Glory, Honor or Conquest? If these make a man hap-py?. It is probable that they have acquired these things are never hap-py? It is probable that the yhave had to go through many hardships to acquire the atove that makes them unhappy. Then how is it that these same great men have foretold "The raw material of which happiness is made is ignorance." Also the Bible saya that no happiness will be gotten in this world but only experience and that it is gained through suffering and that only after death happiness will really come. If a human being is never content with the environment in which he is living and wishes to change, he is never happy. And af-ter he has spent so many years to acquire possession he feels that he is no happier than before he secured it. It seems then that pleasure is not happiness but a human desire.
