No. 34 SCHOOL BOARD IIS SUIT, INJUNC-TION DISSOLVED, COriTRAGT LET The fight which has been wag-- , d in the courts for the past year to prevent the Jordan School Board from building the new high school at Copperton, came to a jlose last Saturday, when a de-cision was handed down by ludge J. W. MeKinney, in the Third District Court, dissolving ihe temporary .writ of injunction 'irotight to prevent the Board t'i mi awarding the contract. In substance the decision re- -' i es that the legislature has pro-- v ided school boards of Utah with 'jroad powers in the matter of Mindunting the business of' the at ious districts and that the Jor-.la- n school board is not exceed-- ' ng its authority in allocating the !iigh school. j Immeditely after the decision ' was handed down the Board met lid f.warded the contract for the builing and work will start at once on grading and other prelim-inary work. The general contract was j warded to Paul Paulsen, the low-est bidder, for $222,800; the Heat-ing and plumbing contract to 11. G. Burton for $50,610 and the electrical work was let to Blaine-Gre- y ' Electric Co. for $8,954. The second lowest bid on the general contrct was submitted by Chas. A. Kampe for $223,695 or $895 higher than the successful bidder. In all eight bids were received on the general contract varying in amounts up to $23,000. The contracts call for the com-pletion of the buildirilg on or be-fore the first day of September, 1931. As will be observed, the build-ing proper will cost slightly less than $3C0,CO0 which is somewhat less tha nthe estimate of the ar-chitects designing the plans and specifications. It is estimated that equipment and furnishings will require from $00,000 to $80,-00- 0 additional. The decision to remove the high school from the city limits of Bingham came as a keen dis-appointment to citizens and busi-ness men here who have fought for past year to keep the school iu its present location, on the oth-er hai ll those favoring the remov-al are elated over the prospect of having a large, commodious and modern institution of higher edu-cation located were adequate fields for a campus and outdoor activities of the school are avail able. MOBILE DEMOLISHED PARK CITY MAN SERIOUSLY HURT Joe Smith, 33, of Park City is at the Bingham hospital iu a dangerous condition with a rib .hrough his lung as a result of an automobile accident which oc-curred Sunday night when Smiths coupe left the Bingham highway just east of Copperton and plung-ed against a pole. Smith in com-pany with two other men from Park City, had been visiting in Bingham and were returning home when the machine left the road, it is thought while travel-ing at a high rate of speed. The two companions of Smith received only alight injuries. - i . AGAIN NORMAL After ten days of strenuous labor-- by city, county and state road departments and many of the citizens, Bingham Canyon is approaching normal conditions again after the floods of August 11th and 12th. All roads and streets have been cleared except Markham Gulch. Those damaged by the floods have, in most cases taken their losses and inconvenience as a mat-ter of unavoidable consequence and have gone about the task of restoration optimistically. Hun-dreds of homes and scores of busi-ness houses were damaged but in most cases the loss was not so very great. Perhaps the damage to the city water system was the greatest single Ions with that of the Utah Copper Co. hospital' second. The former has now been restored and Other major sufferers were resi-dents of Markham and Carr Fork where homes were inundated with mud and stone. Road gangs are still working on the right-of-wa- y of the Bing-ham highway although the road has bee,h open for four or five jdays.

Then It Ita rain they need why advise them to raise crops that dont need much rain. , There lies been a good deal of trouble out In the Dakotai about the history that Mr. Coolldge was sup-posed to write on a rock. It was to run 600 words and civs the history ot Amentia and still not go Into details. Well 500 words dont allow you much blstoty. Course we never had much history, but like all Nations we think wo have. Well the Sculptor dldant like the history that our Ex President had j cooketl up so he made as we say In j the eighth art (the Movie), wby be ' made some on the manu . script. It seems that Mr. Coolldge had with an eye to future Campaign given our History from a Republican i standpoint. There bad been Demo- - ! f crats engaged In our history but only In tha capacity of Vlllana. Well poor Dakota dldent know what k It was all about, all the Interest they '. had Iu the matter was to furnish the Mountain. They just wanted some-thing that a Tourist could read, or have read to him. In fact the more controversy the more would come to read. What constituted our early his- - . ; tory dldent moan a thing to my old Friend Beulow and big The Dakolas just said "we got the rock. Print an Almee McPberson sermon oo It, just so somebody will burn out bis break bands to come and see It." It the leave the Coolldge version on there, they should advertise it, "Come and see the Republican history ot America In 600 words." See where one of these young boy tree sitters has Just passed hia BOO hours sitting In a treetop. There Is a good deal ot discussion as to what r to do with a civilization that produces . '' prodigies like that. Why wouldn't it ' be a good idea to take their ladder away from them and leave 'em up there? Pretty near ail of us out here in California during these hard times are selling our homes and they tear 'em down and put In these premature golf courses. You can't sell for much, but they give you a free ticket to play. The jails are putting 'em In now to got tue prisoners' minds off mutiny. Say, that little jacking up I gave Mr. Hoover about the weather did -s-ome good. You know these Republi-cans just get careless that way. They are ta used to running everything for so loug they Just think It will go with-out them. . Ch'ua Is having a new war, and we are having trouble getting Into It. We always have gunboats there, so It there Is any shooting wby one of our boats will be shot at and that gives us the usual alibi. But this time it seems we only had one gunbuat and it bad to manoeuvre around tor days before It could get la the lice of Are. No' Mr. Hoover being a business man, I bet you be takes that Senate ; . and House of Rep-resentative space In the Capitol building and turns it Into miniature golf courses. Would you be-lieve It, there is 3,600 ot 'em in the city of Los An-geles. Then people ask what's the matter with tbla country. Nothing, nntv ihcra la mlU lions got a "putter" in their hand when they ought to have a shovel. Half of America Is bent over. In two more generations our children will grow upwards as far as the hips, - then they will turn off at right angles and, with their arms hanging down, we will be right back where we started from. Darwin was right I thought the California papers were exaggerating, as usual, the beat In the East, but I guesa the rascals were right at that What has the poor farmer done against the Republican administration that he should deserve all this?

Jackling, presi-dent of the Utah Copper Company paid a visit to the mine and mills of his company here last Sunday. In company with D. D. Moffat, and general man-ager and other officils a general tour of inspection of the proper-ties was made. ' Mr. Jackling expressed himself as well satisfied with the physical condition of their properities and while refining from colorful pre-dictions as to expansion in the future, he did forecast an era of steady improvement in the mar-kets and metal industry. President Hoover thinks the drouth in the east was caused by heat and lack of rain and Gov. ernur Dern thinks the floods in Utah were caused by too much rain and over grazing. We have a great president and a great governor and each can do a lot to help minimize the loss and restore normal conditions but science has not yet developed to a point where man can control these ele-ments of heat and moisture. We believe however, that the time will come when extreme weather con-ditions can and will be controlled to some degree, by the inhabit-ants of this earth. COMMUNITY CHURCH NOTES Sunday, August 24.

J Lipton's $400 1 Singing; in the Drought I He Will Steal No Mora J The Right Idea , Sir Thomas, Llpton will soon arrive It v,to see bis yacht win or lose. H Is I 80, and the cup that he seeks was won '4 y by an American boat, when Llpton was p a baby, f It would please everybody, it the genial old Irishman could take the cup back with him. We don't need It, and our young millionaire yacht buflders would enjoy going over after It. , Yacht races mean little to the average man, but a few words that Llpton said to reporters mean every-thing to millions. He told how he first came to thta country, at 17, In the steerage, adding: "I went to work in the South, saved money, and returned hom with $400 In' I j my pocket, and I thought I was the 4 richest man in the world." ' He wasn't the richest man, but he was rich, because he knew how to save. ' Llpton has business ability, under- - stands advertising, and trade. But all i . bis business intelligence would have done him no good without the first $400-- That money enabled him to start something. j And starting, he succeeded. A great majority of all Americans die worth ' less than $100, 85 per cent of those i past 65 are dependent on others, and that In a country where average Intelligence, willingness to work, add capacity to save, mean Independence In old age. Miss Marlon Talley, "Girl of the Golden West," cultivated her voice, sang In the golden Metropolitan Opera House, made money, returned west and bought a farm. The drought has ruined the corn on her 800 acres In Kansas, and she thinks she will come back to the Metropolitan Opera House for more. There is no drought In the Metropolitan diamond circle. Other farmers, unfortunately, can not do that. In ancient days food was usually given to anyone In need. The law allowed an expectant mother to take . fruit from any orchard, none could Interfere with her. Customs and laws ) have changed. Near Toledo, Ohio, Elmer Tilton, 45 years old, out ot work for seven months, went out with his oldest son, Lewis, aged 17, to get some food Unfortunately thoy tried the farm , of Lester Coy, 23 years old, who farms single handed, supporting a blind father, and Is frequently annoyed by crop thieves. He was sitting up late with a gun, when Tilton and his son began digging his potatoes. Father and son were both shot dead. Someone else will have to supply food for Tilton's six other children. All countries except Russia, Italy and France complain of unemploy-ment. Canada is worried about 200,000 out of work. Their trouble Is small compared with our Idle 5,000,000. The worst Is not Uie unemployment, - but the fact that nobody, from the government down, knows what Is the matter with the world. In 1914 Europe went on a murderous debauch, killing millions, spending tens of billions. Then thanks to the billions poured out, there was a great "prosperity boom." Now apparently the nations are paying for the debauch. You can't kill millions and burn up billions without regretting It soon or late. However, this country has more money thut it can use, its industries are more highly developed than ever, its people have learned to need things and buy them. The right idea probably could put this country back into its stride. But nobody seems to have that Idea. On the Hudson, near 8lng Sing prison, four persons in a sinking boat were in danger of drowning. Pour convicts, sentenced to long terms, with many years of prison life ahead of them, asked for a chance to save those in danger, saying: "We will come back." The guards wisely consented. The conviots saved the four men, and they did come back to serve out their terms. There are thousands in prisons that with a better chance In youth would have been useful men. There are , thousands living in luxury that would be In prison it their childhood had been the same as the average convict's childhood. Captain Hawks is now the world's champion flyer, and has beaten all records across this continent westward ij. and back again. Flying from Los Angeles to New York In 12 hours, be beat Colonel Lindbergh's record by 2 hours and his engine was never "wide open" on the trip. Doctor Swallow la dead, aged 91 Formerly a Methodist preacher, he ran for president as a prohibition candi-date, in 1904, and was ridiculed. But he lived to see prohibition the law, and to see Herbert Hoover as a prohibition candidate, get about 20,000,000 votes, Governor Smith, on a wet platform, getting about 15,000,000 votes, many millions more than any other Democrat ever got. The improbable happens. r NO DROUTH IN YELLOWSTONE YELLOWSTOXE PARK, Wyo. August 20 Peculiar actions of fish in the Gardiner river of late, huve caused Yellowstone National Park visitors to wonder what it's all about and rangers have come forth with an explanation. And this is their story ; moreover, they stick to it. Park guests report that fish have been see nleaping out of the wa-ter, grabbing at any sort of bait and in short, going through almosl every antic except climbing trees. The reason. They're inebriated, some of the rangers say. Recently about 20 gallons of moonshine of a very poor quality the kind that would take hair off a camel's back was poured into a stream which finally finds its way into the Gardiner river at the junction of the Boiling river. Result. The fish just naturally got "soused." The liquor was a portion of several cargoes con-fiscated by rangers who grabbed four persons in less than a week. The fish weren't the only vic-tims, its said, but the authen-ticity of this report is not veri-fied except by the man who tells it. Now it is known that, ranger-naturalist- s are "up" on their animal languages, and so there's no reason to doubt they can sav-vy a rabbit. "Yes, that was terrible booze," asserted one of these gentlemen. "I gave a little bit of it to a cotto-n- tail rabbit and would you be-lieve it, no sooner had he swallow-ed the stuff, than he shouted in his 'rabbit-lik- e' way, 'Whoopee. Bring on your grizzly bear." And the ranger who told the story is a total abstainer. African Company Now Leads World IN Output of Copper BOSTON The copper industry says the Boston News Bureau, hails a new champion. No longer does American capital, long dom-inant in the industry, control the world's largest producer of the red metal, in far away Africa, where English and Belgian cap-italists have labored for years pa-tiently and against terrific odds particularly in respect to labor and tranportation, there has final- - ly emerged the world biggest and richest copper mine Union Miniere du haut Katanga, or "Katanga" as it is popularly known in copper circles. The great South American de-posit owned by the Chile Copper company, now a constituent part of the Anaconda Copper releases primacy to its African rival, al-beit Katanga in 1929 had a lead of only 2,500,000 pounds, the pro-duction of the two properties be-ing 299,576,000 poundr and 302,-012,0- pounds respectively. Here is the lineup of the big four and they are so far in ad-vance of the rest of the producing group that the fifth largest is not within 100,000,000 pounds of the leaders' 1920 production pounds Katanga 302,012,000 Chile Copper Co 299,576,000 Anaconda, own mines 281,933,000 The above giants in thajproduc-in- g industry contributes over 30 per cent of the entire output of the world in 1929, 3,800,000,000 pounds. While the American - copper mining interests say they do not vjew with alarm the entrance of a formidable foreign competitor in the producing ranks, it is ob-- , vious that Katanga is to be reck-oned with in all that concerns the welfare of the industry. We trace the growth of the new cham-pion over the past ten years, in pounds. 1929 3O2,012,0Of 1928 247,920,050 1927 196,552,656 1926 177.773.OOC 1925 198,644,000 1924 188,648,000 1923 124,466,000 1922 92,828,000 1921 64,948,000 1920 40,258,000 Were it not for the fact that the ore- - is sensationally rich the yield in 1929 being 135,7 pounds of copper per ton the company wouldi be prohibitively handicap-ped in respect to costs. The mines on the American continent do not average to yield 40 pounds per ton. Katanga's report just issued for the 1929 calendar year places ore reserves at 73,000,000 tons, "containing more than 5,000,000 tons of copper 'or over 10,000,-000,00- 0 pounds of metal, a total which measures the vast poten-- ! tialities of this great property in the years to come. Despite the drop in the price of copper, Katanga has yet to evi-dence any disposition to curtail output as have American produc-ers, its prodnct for the first half of 1930 being 143,299,000 pounds against 140,873,000 for the cor-responding period of 1929. Many of our 'dry' Senators and members of Congress have decid-ed since the poll of the Literary Digest Was announced, that being a 'wet duck' is preferable to be-ing a 'lame duck.' RED CROSS , MAKING SURVEY A representative of the Amer-ican Red Cross, Miss Williams, is in Bingham this week making a scientific survey of conditions caused by the floods of August 11 and 12. It is not known at this time whether there are families here who will need aid from this or-ganization or not. Red Cross lead-ers have stated that help will be given to flood victims who are unble to provide themselves with food, clothing and shelter, thro-ugh their own efforts. Western Industrial Maintains Full Wages and Employment lit z ; riViVVed-- - Once again does Western business show the world how to weather anj industrial depression. In a recent article in "Printer's Ink" entitled "Bigger Than Balance Sheets," in which America's greatest industrials stated their business record, The Par-affi- Companies, Inc. was the only institution that scored one hundred per cent The quoted letter from R. S. Sham-wal- d, president of the Company, stated : "Replying to your request would state The Paraffine Companies, Inc. has made no reductions in personnel of its manufacturing, sales or office organizations, nor has it made any wage cuts before or since the depres-sion beginning last fall. It believes such reductions can and should be avoided." The article singled out The Par-affine Companies Inc. as the outstand-ing example of the new spirit in management which is as conscious of its responsibility to its employees as to its stockholders. Thirty-fiv-e hundred employees of The Paraffine Compan-ies and its affiliated companies arc unaware of any generat business re-cessiontheir wages have continued as always and the millions of dollars distributed by them to tradesmen have helped stabilize Western busi-ness. Once again has a Western industrial presented an unmatched achievement. Besides continuing the normal wage and employment scale The Paraffine Companies, Inc. have maintained their regular vacation plan. Every employee of the company, including all factory workers, is each year given a vacation with full pay- - The length of the vaca-tion is gauged by the "ears of em-ployment and U as long as two weeks. The Paraffine Companies was he first Western industrial, and one at the first institutions in the United States, to give all factory employees annual vacations with pay. This plan was inaugurated some six years ago. Further consideration is shown the company's employees by the main-tenance at the company's expense of group insurance for the benefit of every employee's family. Truly this K. S. ShainoU. PmUtnl Th Paraffin Componi, Int. company is an outstanding example that proves that it pays to give every employee fullest consideration because the compans current statement for the fiscal year ending June 30th' showed an increase over 1928 earnings and only a small decrease as compared with 1929 net profits. Another interesting item contained in the company's report is its record of manufacturing expansion. Dui ng the past two years this company lias spent more than $1,500,000 in additions to its Western roofing, shingles and floor covering factories, besides in-vesting more than $1,400,000 in affiliated companies. The ability of The Paraffine Com-panies to maintain sales and pri.lits has been, in the main, directly tr to their policy of confiniiv ic ; major portion of their adverli; :o newspapers, which have always ucca used by this company as its primary advertising medium. : A dispatch states "two inmates of San Quinten prison die from poison alcohol following a booze party held by the prisoners.' Perhaps a knowledge of chemis-try should be one of the qualifi-cations of a warden so the menus of the patrons could be tested be-fore serving. Dr. and Mrs. R. G. Frazier and Mr. and Mrs. Austin Larick left Wednesday for a two-week- 's va-cation trip to. Yellowstone and Glasier National Parks. While away they will also visit a number of other points of interest in the Northwest. PEACH DAY BRIG11AM CITY, August 20 Final arangements for conduct-ing the 26th Annual Utah Peach Celebration in this city on Friday and Saturday, September 12th and 13th next, were approved at a joint meeting of the Executive Committee of the Festival and the Board of Governors of the Box Elder Commercial Club and Cham-ber of Commerce last evening. Free peaches and watermelons for the fruit hungry visitors will; be dispensed this year by the prettiest girls in the county, who( will be selected in a beauty con-- . test to be conducted prior to the( opening day. During a carnival dance to be held on Thursday eve-ning, August 21st, a group of Salt Luke City artists will select from he many entrants the most beau-tiful girl to be known as the "Box Elder Peach" and to act as the queen of the festival, and her la-ie- s in waiting, who with the queen will greet the visitors and serve them the fruit. Just at the intersection of the principal streets of the city, Main and Forest, a reviewing stand for the Governor and other distin-guished guests, will be erected so That the parade and pageant of each morning of the celebration will pass directly in front of it. Governor George II. Dern has ac-cepted an invitation to be pres-ent. Mrs. Annettie Lefler and small daughter were Bingham visitors ' on Monday. Mr. C. L. Countryman, town clerk returned Monday from San Francisco, where he has been at-tending the Grand Aeria sessions of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. He was accompanied home from I Palo Alto, by his son, Kenneth. ilr. Fred Blackmore and fam-ily of Ruth, Nevada, arrived in Bingham Sunday and are visit-ing with relatives and friends in I Copperfield. They formerly liv-ed in Copperfieldi and plan to ' stay and visit for 2 weeks. Tradesmen say there will be an uptrend in clothing this fall. Will men turn np the collars of their overcoats or will it just be an-other shortening of women's skirts. |
