Postoffice building for this j distrlrt, the need for which has been perfectly obvious. This matter has lieen brought up before each session of Congress during this long period -- but to no 4t avail. However, In 1028, it was y brought to a point where an was made by a repres-entative of the Treasury Depart-ment aial several tentative sites were selected Early In 1030, Senator Smoot ad-vised Mr. George Earl, then Pres-ident of Kiwanis that this matter would surely go thru at that time together with the appropriation for a similar building at Cedar City, but in the pressure of more important Government affairs, somehow or other it fell thru. Now, the question Is again being pressed upon Congress thru Senat-or Smoot and Congressman Loof-!srro- Mr. Jos. A. Borden, Presi-dent of Kiwanis Is advised by Tele-gram, February 20th, as follows: "Have procured approval of Bud-get to estimate of seventy thous-and for Bingham Canyon postoffice. I'resident has signed same, and for-- " warded to the Senate. Regards' UEED SMOOT. We certainly hoi that Senator Smoot will be able to secure fav-orable action on this matter at an early date, for not only would 8uch - a building till a great need in this town but. construction work now or in the near future would help Im-mensely In ihe much needed em-ployment of labor. Word lias been received that the Treasury department and the hud-ge- t bureau at Washington, D. C. have recommended an appropria-- f tion of $75,000 for a new postoffice I building and site for Bingham, t' i . It was understood Blnghum was f Included In the public building I program wllh SaffLake, Price and i I Cedar City, approved more than a j year ago, hut It now seems such was not the case. According to the I report, when Senator Smoot be-- i came aware of this he conferred immediately with the treasury de-partment and officials regarding the recommendation and will urge Jfr the adoption of an amendment to . the public buildings bill which will include Bingham in its program. Utah Apex Takes Over New Bingham Mary Mine New Bingham Mary Ground to be Worked by HaffenrelTer Control of the New Bingham Mary Mining company wan secured this week by the Utah-Ape- x Min-ing company by the purchase of 501,000 shares of New Bingham Mary Mining company stock. The Utah-Ape- x and New Bing-ham Mary companies have not merged. The iNew Bingham Mary Mining company will be operated as an lndeiendent company ami re-tain Irs corporate name and Iden-tity. The property of the New Bing-ham Mary Mining company con-sists of two claims la the West Mountain district surrounded by Utah Copper, the Itah Apex, and Ihe I'tah Delaware. 'The company also owns three claims In Tooele county. Development In the past has been carried on through the Utah-Ape- x main tunnel, which passes through New Bingham Mary terri-tory. Shipments have been made to the Utah Apex mill and the American Smelting and Refining company. The company has been financed by Salt take capital and beaded by Dr. Riy Groesbeck, president; P. E. Athas, vice president, and secretary ; Scott Ure, treasurer. Other directors were B. II. Prater, M. O. Ctorey and A. W. Griggs. A meeting of New Bingham Mary stockholder's ratified the sale and elected new, officers as follows: R. F. Haffenreffer Jr. president and director ; Joseph A. Norden, vice president and direc-tor; R. D. Judd secretary-treasure- r .and director; Roy Groesbeck director; P. E. Athas, director. R. F. Haffenreffer, Jr., the new president of the New Bingham Mary, Is president and chief own-er of the Utah Apex and J. A. Nor-den Is generat manager of the Utah " Apex. By the terms of the agreement, the Utah-Ape- x Mining Company paid off the mortgage which tho Simon Bamberger company, the original owners of the Bingham Mary, held ou the property. Development work will be prose-cuted on "various levels of the mine from the present levels of the Utah-Ape- x mine. Work can be done to much better advantage by using the facilities of the Utah-Aie- x Mining company In de-veloping ores for the New Bingham .Mary Mining comany. J On the 3100-fo- level of the Utah-Ape- x mine a large body of ore has been encountered that has been followed to within a few feet of the New Bingham Mary lines. Considerable ore has been shipped from the New Bingham Mary on the 1000 to 1050 levels and work will lie continued on these levels In the New Bingham Mary ground. These workings will be continued to penerate the ore bodies which lie withiu the boundaries of the latter company's ground. W. M. SUR. New Ore Exposed In Park Bingham . Another ore bed bus Iwn struck in the Bonanza Mining company's lease In the I'ark Iitnghnm prp-ert- y according to , the manage-ment, 94 feet below the Niagara tunnel of the U. 8. mine at Blug hum. Development work done so far is said to show that the ore ex-tends at least 80 feet along the strike and It still is beng follow-ed. The ore Is of the same quality and grade as that being miued In the "B" limes la the adjoining United States company mine. Production, which has been holding at 200 tons weekly, will lie restricted to that ore taken out In development in view of low metal prices. Development Is being carried on in two other places. The ore show-ing in the limestone bed 82 feet be-low the 02 level, is said to be four feet wide now and !eddlng out to the west. W. M. SUR. Only a Promise This paper was in error last week when it stated that the county commissioners would commence work immediately on ihe roads in the canyon. This was only a promise to the committee, which has been importuning them to make much needed improvements for several weeks. Improvements are badly needed both in the Copper-fiel- d and the Highland Hoy roads and the unemployed of the district are sorely in need of the work these im- -' provements would provide. As we go to press this week, we are again informed that the county commissioners intend to do some work here, but do not know just when it will be commenced We do not know what is holding back this work. Af-ter several visits to the commission by the unemploy-ment committee and delegations from the Kiwanis club, the commissioners did make a visit of inspection to the district ten days ago and promised the committee im-provement work would start immedately. Up to this time, that is all it has amounted to. Meantime the people of Bingham are compelled to put up with a situation of which the commissioners are well aware and which is extremely bad. Ice flows in the creek below Highland Boy have caused the flooding of the road, making travel very difficult for this section and un-less the creek is taken care of, work on the road is at its best only temporary. The people would like to know, in addition to mak-ing promises, what, if anything, the commissioners are going to do about it. Morley Makes Fords for Kiwanis Clnb At the luMt meeting of Bingham Kiwanis, February 10th, Mr. A. C. (Spud) Morley, local representa-- ; live of the Ford Company, present-ed a Kouud li 1 111 showing the rnnil-- ; tied operation of this great con- - eern. This picture carried the au-- j dlenee thru Iron and coal mine, Bin ss factories, steel mills, cement plants, lumbering operations, thru rolling mills, manufacturing and assembling plants and dually to the finished product, the Model A car. Tritely it gave one a panorama of the automobile industry and an Insight Into its many varied phase 111 tie realized nor comprehended by tlio average pcrsim. Standardiza-tion, mcchanbalion, organization and coordination of effort have combined to bring the automobile within the reach of every man and to Henry Ford we are all indebted for leading the way. Mr. I'auoM litchos, representing the Itiugham High School Student llody, sxike of the efforts of the school in the presentation of dramatics. He poiuted out the fact I lint aside from these shows by the school there are no other ,efforts made in the community In drama or in music and therefor the school should cretaiuly have the support of the community and particularly t lie Kiwanis in this. To those who have had the pleasure of seeing the presenta-tions of the High School In the past, the efforts of these youug people need, no recommendations, but to those who have missed this treat, we would certainly say that they are worthy of all praise and are surpassingly fine. Miss Cand-lan-who has charge of this work, has succeeded In Imparting to these students much of her own charm and jwlse and is to be high-ly commended on the results. Mr. Kenneth Ilarker, accompani-ed by Miss Hope Ingols, gave two delightful vocal selections. One of the outstanding events of the post week was the charming tea given by the American Legion Auxiliary In honor of Mrs. Geo. S. Ballif and Mis. William Allen of Provo, Mrs. B. A. Sprague, Mrs. E. E. Jenkins, Mrs. Otto Wisely and Mrs. O. S. McShane of Salt Lake. A delightful program was given during the afternoon Including numbers by the Girl Scout quartet, under the direction of Miss Nono Nerdin, a reading by Miss Margar-et Lee and Piano selections by Mrs. Kenneth Russet. The 'hall was beautifully dworated and the serv-ing table centered with a crystal vase of pastel shaded carnations. Mrs. Artllur Bird and Mrs. Paul Hanson presided at the urns. Mr. and Mrs. Owen Gililams of Oakley, Utah, were week-en- d guests of Mr. and Mrs. George Nix, Work Resumed on New High School After more than two months de lay on account of the severe wint-er weather, work has been started again on the new high school build-ing at Coppertou. The weather has been so cold all winter that it was iinsafe to go on with the masonry and all work on the buildings was Mispended, A large force of men were put to work there the first ;f tiie week and it Is not likely at this time of year that any further de lays will occur on account of the weather. . The superstructure of the main building will lie completed withiu about thirty days It is expected and also the foundations of the audi torium and the gymnasium will be ready for the brick work to com-mence on them. All work Is to be comleted ou the new plant within six months or by September first, according to the contract, so that school may open iu'the new build-lu- g this fall. Miners Invade Jordan Tomorrow Night, the 27th With the Bingham High quint back In normal condition, things are looking up for the locals. The confidence of the fans has been ful-ly restored by the fighting spirit shown In the last two games. Noth-ing has demonstrated their ability to "come back" more than the game at Cyprus last week when the de-fense of the Magna boys proved very nearly perfect for the first half, counting only one field goal sewing up the game for Cyprus, for The Miners simply could not find the North basket. Things were different In the sec-ond half when McMullln's boys played Cyprus to a standstill with a rally that brought applause and victory. Only those who witnessed the game can appreciate how those boys fought for honors of this con-test, Cyprus was outplayed in every phase of basketball, passing, recov-- f ring, guarding and shooting of baskets. High hopes prevail that the locals will be tied for first honors with the strong Murray team at the close of the series two weeks hence; In order to do this the locals must de-feat Jordan Friday and Murray here one week later, provided Mur-ray wins tomorrow night's game from Toolee, which Is the "Dope" at this time. Should Tooele take M'urray Into camp and the miner's win both games yet to be played, they would then be the undisputed division leaders and add another flag to the unbroken record of trop-hies- garnered snlce the formation of the Jordan division, Wo are unable to state at tWs time whether the playoff would be necessary to determine which team would enter the tournament as first and which as second In case of a tie between the division leaders. Two teams will be allowed to en-ter the state tournament from this district in any event, and it is a pretty good guess that those two teams will be Bingham and Murray. Firemen Ball Huge I . . Success Th 24th annual ball given by the Bingham Volunteer Fire Depart-ment last 'Saturday night j the Evergreen gardens was declared by many to be one of the most suc-cessful ever to have been held by the Department. The dance was largely attended by Firemen and their friends who made merry to the "wee sma hours" of the morn. Art Cooke's enlarged orchestra furnished music of the jazaiest class which received the plaudits of the crowd, this in conjunction with the smooth floor and the felicitious jslrit of the crowd contributed 1m-- f measurably to the '"success of the evening. A. A. U. League Game The Gemmell Club "Blue Dia-monds" play their last home game tonight against the 38th Infantry in a league game. While the Green Cab has cliuuV ed the title, the locals have a chance to gain second place, and may play In the Intermountain A. A. U. tournament at the Deseret gym, March 11, 12, 13, 14. The Blue Diamonds have won fifteen and lost, five games, league and practice, this year, and after tonight's game, wind up the sched-ule against the GrWn Cab in Salt Lake, Monday. Turn out and sup-port the boys In what promises to be a real battle. What About The Speeders? When it comes to "passing the buck," we have to admit our local officers can pass one hundred per cent any day of the week. Citizens are beard to complain of the speed menace dally. Not only recently, but for a long time past has the lack of traffic regulation on the streets of Bingham been a menace to the lives of pedestrians. Motorists generally drive too fast for our narrow, winding Main street. A few perhaps, a half doz-en, each day are what might be termed as outlaw drivers. On an av-erage of this" number shoof flirbugh our Main street at SO miles or more with little or no regard for the safety of themselves or others. Their speed is limited only by the power of their motors. We believe the speed limit on op-en road main highways should be raised to 40 or 45 miles, but in nar-row streets in towns and elites the speed limit Is all too high now. From inquiries which we have re-peatedly made the city officers tell us it Is up to the state and county traffic officers to regulate the traf-fic and from the county officers we are hold it Is the duty of the city to regulate traffic in the city streets. Another excuse given is that some drive so fast they can not overtake them even If they wanted to do so. And there you are! Probably the last excuse is a good one. You wouJd need a pretty sharp eye to even get the number of some cars during the time Uiey are in sight of anyone standing on the sidewalk. We don't know what causes this state of affairs unless some one Is expecting leniency to keep them in or that they know they are going out of office soon or yet that they have just secured office. Anyway conditions are Just the same. Outside of a little complaining lierhaps nothing will be done about it except some moot r1st ploughs through a group of school children or catties some other tragic mis-hap to arouse public sentiment against present conditions. WAITERS MAY HAVE CAUSED II. S. DEPRESSION SAYS F. P. A. Waiters who interrupt with "Cof-fee for you, sir?" just as the buy-er's sales resistance is on the verge of a knockout, are probably at the bottom of this depression business, believes Franklin P. Ad- - ams, author, and the "F. P. A." of newspaper column fame. "All waiters, when a man at table is telling a story, or about to say, 'All right, I'll buy 30,000 tons of eopiier,' or 'Yes, I'll take that $100,000 policy; send the medical examiner over this afternoon' all waiters derail the entire-thoug-train by interrupting with 'Coffee for you, sir?" complains Mr. Ad-ams In Liberty Magazine this week. ''Maybe waiters are responsible for the recent slump, depression or declivity. Maybe Just as things were going to get good again, some waiter interrupted the man who was goiug to place a gigantic ord-er for something that would have shot everything so high I could have my 1923 car painted next sununerl" ' Mrs. Lee Jones entertained as luncheon guest lust Friday, Mrs. Laura Kelley, Mrs. R. R. Uackett and Mrs. Murray Van Wagner, all of Salt Lake. FINE ARTS PROGRAM The Fine Arts program rendered at the high school auditorium Wed- - i nesday evening by the art students of the school proved to be a most successful and popular affair. The program, under the able direction of Miss Helen Candland, instructor in dramatic arts, assisted by music-al director, Mr. J. Clement Craini was presented In a most unique and pleasing manner. The large number of students who participat-ed in the" show received the plaud-- ' Its of tho large crowd, which filled the auditorium. Mrs. Cyril Robison entertained the S. E, W. clnb last Wednesday afternoon. Guests included Mrs. H. Hardy, Mrs. Walter Abplanalp, Mrs. Myron Fullmer, Mrs. Fenton Tibbie and Mrs, William Harrison.

MADE GREATEST PROGRESS IN PERIOD BEFORE DRY LAW History fails to show that the liquor traffic ever Impeded the pro-gress of American achievement. In fact, when alcohol could enter Am-erican homes by the front door, Uncle Sain was ift the mldtit of his . greatest perlqd of inventive genius, j believes Liberty Magazine- - i'l4t's see about those 155 years .tiie bad old days of the still room and the saloon," writes' Lib-erty editorially In the current is-sue. "In that period, we elected Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, Roosevelt, and T Wilson as Presidents and certain-ly six out of seven were personal as well as political wets. fjn that period likewise we in-vented, evolved, or developed the cotton gin, all our harvesting ma-chinery, the telegraph, the tele-phone, the electric light, the rail; road, the steamship, the gasoline engine, the talking machine, the motion picture, the radio, the sky-scraper, the trolley car, the tr-bin-e, and antiseptic surgery. The United States did pretty well In the bad. old days before prohibition. Its population grew from 3,000,000 to 115,000,000. It spanned the continent with a net-work of railroads, dug the Panama Canal, and sent the largest expedi-tionary force in history across the Atlantic to conclude a victorious, war. "Ami what particularly brilliant things have we achieved since, in the good new days of prohibition? Well, we have elected Harding, Coolldge, and Hoover, apd we have evolved the greatest criminal figure in our history Al Oapone, who has made Jese James in his palm-iest days look like a piker and many others like him.. Outside of that it's hard to think just what we have done," Mra Neva Able was the hostess to the G. G. G.
