ESTABLISHED 1889 - FORTY YEARS OF CONTINUOUS COMMUNITY SERVICE lne Jol.40 ' BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1930 No. 19 BINGHAM OFFICERS ACCEPTS CHALLENGE OF SHERIFF'S OF-FICE FBOI SALT LAKE CITI Big Shoot to be Held Sunday at Gun Club Grounds Accepting the challenge of a pick-ed squad of marksmen from the sheriff's office at Salt Lake City, deputies of Bingham and police officers have arrunged a meet to take place at the local traps next Sunday a 10:30 o'clock. On account of the rivalry evi-dent already from the declara-tions of those who are to partici-pate in the shoot, a large crowd of spectators will no doubt be on hand to witness the contest!, We hesitate to forecast the chest measure of the winners of this tournament but at that tliey will have accomplished something to be proud of. Gun Club Activities Unusual interest in the promo-tion and improvement of traps and grounds of the Bingham Can-yon Gun Club has been manifest lately, and a number of improve-ments are being and will be made in the near future. These improve-ments were decided upon at a meeting held the first of this week at the city hall. A new trap-hous- e will be built and adequately armored to in-sure absolute safetiy for the op. crator. The trap spring-ro- d is being placed in an underground conduit to eliminate the danger of stumbling while advancing from post to po9t. A store room is being provided in which the' bluerocks may be conveniently kept.. Later on the club- - plans the placing of an elevated trap-hous- e on the grounds. Another big state meet is being planned to take place at the local grounds early in J une. This meet will bring together many of the oest trupshooters" from all parts of the state. IMMIGRATION OF MEXICANS SHOULD BE RESTRICTED i Hiram W. Johnson Gives Speech WASHINGTON, D. C In urg. ing the restriction of Mexican immigration, Senator Hiram V. Johnson, of California, in a speech on the floor of the Senate, mid that an alarming percentage of the births in his native state were Mexicans and that the large number of Mexicans coaming to this country affected not only California and the border states but practically every state in the Union. He said in part: "In order that Senators may understand something of the seri-ousness of the situation, let me say to them that tfhe vital statis-tics of the state of California, which have been released but a short time ago, show that one-sixt- h of the births in the Stalte of California today are Mexican. It seems incredible,' because there is no such proportion of Mexicans to the whole population in that State, and there is no such pro-portion in any of the States, 1 take it, of Mexican population. The controversy has grown acute in the West between those whr insist upon the necessity for Mexi-can labor and those who deny that necessity and desire restric-tion of immigration. On the one side are the big interests, thr farming and agricultural organ-izations, the chambers of com. merce, and the like, begging and pleading that we pass no bill at all. On the other side are the representatives of labor, social workers, and others asking that we enact legislation controlling and restricting Mexican immi-gration. In regard to the effect that Mexican immigation has had up-on labor conditions, the Senator continued: "Tlxe Mexican penetration, in regard to its inroads on labor, can be best demonstrated by say-ing to you that on the railroads that run into Chicago I am not speaking now of those that are out at tfhe coast on' the railroads running into Chicago, more than 50 pe rcent of the labor is Mexi-can. I mean by that the actual labor on the track and the like. That indicates to" you the pene-tration of Mexican labor. They have penetrated into mills in Indiana : they have penetrated in- - to mills in all of the territory in the North at the present time." COPPERTON CONFECTIONERY Copperton now has an np-t- o. date confectionery and soft drink parlor. The new foujntain was installed the first of the week and as the warm duys approach this new oasis will be anticipat-ed b ythose journeying along the "concrete." Vaughn Chriatensen, proprie-tor of this classy little shop is sparing no effort to make things most convenient and comfortable for his patrons. An imitation is extended to the public to inspect this new estab-lishment. This Week by Arthur Brisbane To Kill, or Not to Kill. Anger Flouts Death. Really Big Figures. Sodom and Gomorrah. Another energetio effort It made to abolish capital punishment Suoh come by fits and starts. The re-cent burning alive of convicts In the Ohio Penitentiary convinces people that convlots should not be burned alive when they haven't been sen-tenced to death. There Is more Involved In the ques-tion than criminals or their welfare, and that Is the question of heredity. For at least 100,000 years murder has been punished with death. And, prob-- '' ably, the human race has been im-proved somewhat by destroying mur--( derers as fast as they were caught If capital punishment now frightened criminals or helped to rid the human race of the killer type, It would be a' . good thing. But It probably does neither. Laws that Inflict capital punishment, which Is simply killing officially, are In themselves murderous, setting a bad and disgraceful example. Many of our emotions, according to Francis Bacon, make us Indifferent to death; anger among others. Eng Fu Week, 61, and Eng Loy, 61, Chinese and cousins, fought with heavy meat cleavers. When the police arrived both had fractured skulls and gashes on heads and bodies, yet the police were compelled to separate them by force. One will die surely, the other probably, and It was all about a blanket If big figures fascinate yon. read about an extraordinary bridge game, thoroughly authenticated, In which the man of Glastonbury, England, held a hand. Each partner had thirteen cards, of the same suit The man with thirteen spades made a big slam. Mathematicians say the chances against such an occurrence are two thousand, two hundred and thirty-fiv- e million trillion to one. The British trillion. Is a million mul-tiplied by a million multiplied by a million. With us It is only a million multiplied by a thousand multiplied by a thousand. k.. Archaeologists, according to the Jew--1 lsh Telegraphic Agency, have discov-ered ancient Sodom and Gomorrah burled In the ashes of fire that de-stroyed, and punished wickedness with Are and brimstone. Father Mellon made the discovery. In the ashes were found skeletons of wicked men and women. Implements discovered show that the city destroyed twenty centuries before Christ was In the Bronze Age. They had not learned how to use Iron or steel. When fire and brimstone as you re-membered destroyed the wicked cities near the Red Sea only Lot and wife es-caped. And she, poor thing, was turned Into a pillar of salt because she dis-obeyed orders and looked backward. In the Middle Ages bishops and others testified that they had actually seen Mrs. Lot, made of solid salt still unchanged by the rains of three thou-sand years. They even furnished extra-ordinary biological data of periodical vents, to prove the sex of the salt statue. Nobody has seen the statue very recently. A lady of the East, wife of a very prosperous owner of Inherited money, has bought property In Nevada, con-venient to Reno. Her lawyer declines to discuss a re-port that the lady Is to have the New York town house and an allowance of f 1,000,000 a year. That allowance would establish a new record, many men la the United States could afford It, and some, unfor-tunately, would gladly pay It. Jack Barstow establishes a new re-cord In air gliding, remaining up more than fifteen hours In a plane with no engine. The mark Isn't official, but the Germans will start In to beat It Their - record is fourteen hours and forty-fiv- e minutes. Meanwhile, Major T. C Macauley, of San Diego, sends news that Barstow will Immediately try for a longer record. The Western world will hear with re-gret of another earthquake in Toklo, unusually strong. Japan Is on the edge of a gigantic submarine canyon, deepest in the Pa-cific Ocean. Frequent ocean landslides ; explain the earthquakes that have num-bered as many as fifteen hundred In one year. The courage of the Japanese Is admirable. The price of sugar for future delivery sold last week at the lowest price on record since the Civil War, raw sugar selling for 1.63 cents a pound. Sugar men are worried about the tariff here and In Great Britain. President Hoover tells the United States Chamber of Commerce, "While the crash only took place six months ago, I am convinced we have passed the worst, and with continued unity of effort, we shall rapidly recover." That will encourage many. And the banks, reducing Interest charges here and abroad, wUl help. When money Is cheap capital looks to new enterprises, which means hiring labor. " ' . , MX 19)0, t Kin um Srb !) SCHOOL BUS BRAKES O. K. After the accident in which the school bus was turned over and rolled down an embankment near Coperton last week the report was current that the brakes on the bus were defective and that for this reason the driver, Run-no- r Martinson was unable to con-tro- ll the car, and the Bulletin quoted those reports. We are glad to correct this report as we are convinced from a ' most thorough investigation that the brakes on the bus were in good condition. After the accident the brakes were given a rigid me-chanical test and were found to be properly adjusted and capable of locking the wheels of the car instantly. ' i JURY DISAGREES IN DAMAGE SUIT AGAINST OFFICERS Two Officers Win Dismissal The suit of Matt Matron to re-cover $13,000 damages for per. sonal injury, from Bingham po-lice ofieers and their bondsmen, was heard before a jury in the District Court last Wednesday. The' jury returned a verdict of no cause of action as against two of the defendants, A. J. Sorensen, chief of police and Wm. Mayne, policeman, but disagreed as to Oren Timothy, a former police-man. This resulted in a non-sui- t. The case may be d at a later date. Mattsen charges the officers with responsibility for the loss of one of his thumbs which he claims was so crushed that amputation was necessary, due to closing the cell door of 'the jail against that member wbila he, was being in-carcerated in the city jail last fall. The officers claim Mattsen struck at one of them as t'he door was being closed and for that rea-son they were unable to avoid his injury. STORM HINDERS GUN CLUB SHOOT High winds kept scores down.
