Thursday The services were largely attended and friend j and business associates from all parts of the country gather-- d to pay honor to the deceased. The services were under the auspices of tke Masonic order, of which Mr. Bourgard was a member of high de-gree. Mr. Bourgard spent most of his life in Bingham Canyon. For 49 years and up to a short time ago, he has been identified as one of Bing-ham'.; leading citizen, a pioneer in every sense of the word.. I Arriving at Bingham a young man of twenty-fou- r, he seemed to gra.p the possibilities of the camp with unusual foresight and invested t his time, money, and ability In the ; development of the district. When doubt of the perman-ency of the camp was ex- - . fldence remained unshaken and his judgment has proved to be correct. Mr. Bourgard was a shrewd busi-ness man and his advice and council was sought by many with whom he was as.iociated. Many of the early settlers of the camp were encouraged to invest in business and build up Bingham through his undaunted le During his lifetime Mr. Bourgard amassed a considerable fortune and hi,, holdings include many of the best business houses and other real estate In the heart of Bingham's business district. Many men could tell the story of the growth and progresj of Bingham Canyon as could Mr. Bour-gard, and although busily engaged ',' with his own affairs, found time to ' give help to the civic interest of the community. He served the city in the capacity of town board member, whn the city was first incorporated. Mr. Bourgard was born at Troy, N. Y.. where he received his early education. He was of French-Canadia- n extraction, and was endowed with unusual courage, a qualification so necessary to success in the min-ing districts of the west. His first enterprise in the west was freighting by mule pack in the west mountain district, and he could tell of many stirring incidents which frequently occured in those days. :On occasions when fire threatened the destruction of the camp, the ef-forts of the volunteer fire depart-ment to protect the life and proper-ty were never overlooked by Mr, Bourjgard, and on such occasions the meagre funds of the department have been materially augmented by his liberal contributions. Almost every man, woman and child la Bingham Canyon personally ltnew Jerome Bourgard, and his life, accomplishments and associations will long be remembered by those with whom he has been associated, Mr. Bourgard Is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Theodore Condlt, of Clinton, Minn.. Mrs. Josephine Sor-- ; nson of Minneapolis, Minn.. and ' Mrs. C. E. Gurley of White Cloud. .Mich. Six daughters also survive ( him Tbey are Mrs. A, L. Inglesby. Mrs! Peter H. Service, Mrs. George F. Rigby, Mrs. C. N. Ray, and Misses Ruth and Hazel Bourgard all of Salt I Lake. Suit Against fining Go. The controversy which has been waged for some tliwe between the Montana . Bingrani Cousolldatet Mining Co. and the Utah Copper Co., culminated Friday In the filing of a suit against the latter company by the former, in the United States Dis-trict Court. This suit is brought by the Mon-tana - Bingham Company, who ask lor a restraining order against the Utah Copper Co., prohibiting them from entering upon certain property claimed by the Montana . Bingham. This suit involves certain legal rights which the Montana Bingham claim were not fully settled in a court decision rendered a few years ago. Iu this suit the court held in favor of the Utah Copper Co., to the extent that this decree granted them the right and privilege to enter upon the premises of the Montana - Bingham for the purpose of recovering values contained in certain dumps of waste material which the Utah Copper Co. have previously dumped on the claims owned by the defendant com-pany. According to the allegations of the complaint filed in the court, the plaintiff alleges the defendant com-pany ha3 unlawfully and wrongfully and by force broken into and enter-ed plaintiif's workings, and hase barriers and stationed guariij to prevent plaintiff's from workins and occupying the premises at Issue in thl3 suit. The Montana - Bingham company have been extracting valuable, copper from a tunnel in the mountains underneath this dump. Defendant company have contend-ed these values came from waste ma-terial on the surface. While the plaintiff ask the privilege of recover-ing the same for themselves T! k.' annual profits from the .eepage of this dump are said to have exceeded $10,000, and from the suit tiled Fri-day it seems that both companies are claiming the right for themselves to extract these values. Public Exploitation. We find nothing of Interest in the volumes of smut," filth and carriou that many metropolitan papers and filthy magazines publish in their avari-cio- uj grasp for mere circulation. An exchange of ours, however, recently took note of an Item published in the Chicago Herald - American signed by Catherine Stuart and expressed in connection therwith sentiments In which we heartily concur ' This female proudly flaunts her moral degeneracy In our exchange we find this quotation: "I have had almost everything this world can offer in the way of yachts, Jewels, wealth and power ad well as romantic adventures. 1 have been the wife of an Indian prince, the favorite wife in a Turkish ha-rt m, the wife of a wealthy Spaniard and of an Engllsman. In short I have lived the kind of life that I know many young women, even of high print! p es, at times yearn to live." But we find no neoed to quote further from the vacuous drlvil of this distorted mind. The above merely serves as an example of the shallow rub-lis- h that on may read in hundreds of taudry journals that encumber news kUnds. But what is the effect of all this upon Immature minds? One wonders. It misfit almost make one favor a rigid censorship, if censors were not, as a rule, such unintelligent Fellows. Too often they suppress woiks of artistic valu, intended solely for intellectual people and treating th subject of sex In a serious manner, which they permit thie presentation of smut In greater and greater volume for the benefit Of undiscrlminating raders. No. censorship will not do, but there is an antidote for this smut. It is classic literature, the works of grea masters recruited from the centuries. There young people will find thrills, ? human interest, romance, and advent-ure in abundance, and with it all they will find something that will stimu-late a taste for true art, for beauty and understand It will give them a broad and intelligent view of life and help theni to adjust themselves to the society In which we live. Some of the world's finest sermons and greatest moral lessons ar to be found In the literature that time ha classified as Imperishable art. Utmost Truth In Advertising Penney Executive cites importance of newspaper advertising in address before Ohio newspapermen. "It publishers and legitimate ad-vertisers continue to work together In a friendly spirit of and In rendering dependable service to th public, the day will come when the advertiser will not dare to run a single untruthful line in his copy," declared R. L. Whitman, advertising director of the J. C. Penney Com-pany, In an address at the annual ' meeting of the Associated Ohio Dal lies, at Columbus, Oblo. In citing the important part that newspaper take in the merchandis-ing field, Mr Whitman said that "editorial and news sympathy on the part of the public make the newspa-pers th only dependable conveyors of business news," and "that their frequency and regularity assure the contact necessary to every aggress-ive business,'' "No less un authority than Presi dent Coolidge acclaims that 'advert-ising is the life of trade.'

Bingham Plays Leaders Feb. 3 Bingham will face the toughest team In the Jordan Division here to-morrow eveulng when the league Grantsvllle team will Invade the lo-cal gymn In an attempt to keep their record of games for the season per-fect. The Grantsvllle five present-ing the best team the school has ever had has won every game so far this year and it is up to Bingham High to stop them. The local boys are hit-ting their stride and If Grantsvllle goes home with another victory we will be surprised. The Grantsvllle' team however, In one of the biggest and cleanest ag-gregations the writer has ever seen in action. The boys an real sports in every sense of the word.

' It is Indeed gratifying to know that in some cases at least criminals are speedily brought to justice In thl; fair state of ours. Last week a beast In human form was apprehended) hailed beforp a co-,r- t of justice and after pleading guilty to a b tital a;si sault, was sentenced to a term in th state pi i on. We refer to the c.'s or Harry F. Smlh who confessed to a charge of carnal knowledge apainsj a 17 year old girl. j ' According ta the story told UJ this young woman. Smith mr it against ' er If she resisted his ad-vances toward her. We expre. s the thought that i;i the promptness of action In thWf case, much was accomplished in. alleviating the righteous indignation of the pub-lic and perhaps may serve as a deter-an- t to others who might be tempted to commit the same offense. There '.seems to be an epidemic ol crimes of this nature and worse, spreading over the land, almost dally we read weired reports of wanton cruelties, assaulj and murder, com. mitted in various parts of the coun-try, crimes whih only feeble minds fertile with depravity could conceive, it 1 j therefore commendable of those in authority to act promptly in deal-ing with cases of this kind. , We are of the opinion the laws of our state are not stringent enough In j cases of criminal assault committed against minors and we sugge. t In consideration of a strengthening of the laws pertaining to these crimes, by our next legislature.

Mr. and Mrs. Joe Norden spen' Monday in Salt Lake City. I'Jere You There? The game last week between Bing-ham and Jordan was undoubtedly the best game seen here this ceason. The big fellows from Jordan look mighty formidable when they scam-peiv- d into the hall. Coach Ballard and his team had made preparations to take the scalp of the blue and white bttck to Jordan, and did not abandon the Idea until two or three minutes of the last gun. The beetdlggers played a very con-sistent game all the way th:u, but were not quite fa.it enough for the miners, Bingham's five looked bet-ter at this game than at any time during thie season There is room for Improvement on basket shooting, but the passing was exceptionally good and the 4oys rustled the ball from the start to the finish. The en-tire earn played so consistently It was hard to pick out one who stood much higher In this game than the rest of his team. Id addition to the game itself, there was much to inspire the Bing-ham fans, the house waj packed to capacity and It was hard to keep the floor cleared where the crowds were compelled to stand. More than a hundred of the students were In cos-un- x with the blue caps and novelty canes with tassels. Between the ganiej of the second and first ceama these students led by Mr. Crapo and hisi high school band paraded the hall. The band rendered several se-lections In a very creditable manner "roni the center of the floor during tliia int.- - mission. All in all it was a gala evening for the Bingham high school and one long to be remember-ed. The hteh achol and those res-ponsible for the entertainment are to be congratulated. While the crowd of young people were very enthusiastic and keyed up to a high pitch of enthusiasm, they conducter themselves In a most orderly and considerate manner. The victory in this game was a fitting climax to the other events of the evening, SC0RE BINGHAM 6 T F P Hervllla rf --....-5 4 3 lb Grant, If ' 4 5 5 13 Melich, c S 4 17 Dahlstrom, rg 2 4 1 Contratto.
