Show j-TownTallc MUD SPLASHERS This is tlie time of the year when the one street 'of Bingham , Canyon is saturated with mud, and although with the oiling of the street few weeks ago, the mud is not avjfihick as usual, nevertheless.there is enough left to cause the poor human being, often called at pedestrian, to dodge and jump every time a car passes. Of course, the fellow in the car will say that he is very careful when driving driv-ing up and down Main street, but be that as it may, walking on the sidewalks side-walks of Bingham Canyon is not safe, that is, from the standpoint of keeping keep-ing one's clothes free from mud. True, there is no ordinance making it a crime to splash mud, although it is the consensus of those who walk that it is a crime. There is one punishment pun-ishment for the fellow who drives so fast that it is impossible to keep from having mud splashed upon them. Make him get out of the" car, see that he be forced to stand with his back to a fence and then let him have a few handfuls of mud. About two of these treatments and crazy drivers would be more careful concerning the splashing of mud on innocent pedestrians. pedes-trians. . OUR SCHOOL WAGONS Some time early in the month of December of last year it was stated that great improvements would be made in the method of transportation for the school children of Copperfield and Highland Boy who attend the Bingham Canyon High School. At that particular time, according to reports, re-ports, children were transported in wagons, which contained a row of seats on either side. This method of transportation was not satisfactory to some folks, and they promised to remedy this evil. They did not say how they were going go-ing to remedy it, but nevertheless the promise was given ,and everyone rejoiced re-joiced in the great interest being shown by some folks in our school children. Vacation time arrived, and of course there was no need for school wagons, so consequently no more was said on the subject, although many residents of Highland Boy anxiously awaited the starting of school so that all could see what the new improvement in transportation would be. School started and the street was crowded to see the new transportation stages, which had been promised, and which were guaranteed to keep the children warm, as, according to reports last December, it was a disgrace to have them ride in wet sleds, etc. Close observation on Tuesday afternoon af-ternoon of this week, when the air was damp, and there was plenty of mud underfoot, showed that there was a great improvement made, although it is the consensus of opinion that the improvement is going the wrong way, for on this particular day, children child-ren were seen to be STANDING UP in a wagon, that was wet and muddy from the snow, and with four horses on the front of the wagon, it is a good bet to say that close to an hour will have been absorbed before the last child arrives at his destination. Further query shows that the children child-ren make a scramble for the wagon as soon as school lets out, and when they get packed in like the proverbial sardine, tile rest are compelled to walk. (Continued on Page 7) for the most part they are never thought of. It is a great feeling to be popular, but a still greater one to think you are when you are not. Town Talks (Continued from Page 1) Truly this is a fine condition, and being compelled to stand for it in the district that pays more than three-fourths three-fourths of the school taxes for this division ,it really is to laugh. With these conditions existing ,it is high time that the parents of these children who are compelled to stand up in a wagon to get home after school, do something. Thus far the promise has been a success with reverse English. WEARING THE SHOES Did you ever meet the sort of person per-son who always feels so important that whenever anything is said, he feels that they are talking about him? Bingham Canyon is blessed with just this sort, and it is rather amusing to note the hostility of some of them, when the truth of the matter is that |
