Up until the past two years Span-ish was offered as a regular course at ty.e High School. The enrollment, however, dwindled until the number registering for the course was so f:w f that it was no longer consistent to offer the course. During the past year there lu ve been suggost'ons that certain parents would like their young folks to have p. course ' in a foreign language or perhaps in two foreign anguages. For this reason school offic'als have made it passible to o'er Spanish this year. If the enrollment justifies it, the course will be pit back in the currl- - : culum ag a regular course. It may be added t!:at if there Is a reasonf.be justification for doing so, French, also, will be added later. School officials will appreciate the opinion of parents on the matter expressed through the 'students when they come to register this f Ml ART. . School officials are of the opinion that Art tshould be offered as a resit, lar course of the High School Currl. culum. However, it became necea. sary a few yer,rs ago to dicsonlinue the course due to the fact that bo few students registered for it. The course is being offered again this year. ' But whther or not it will be possible to make it a part of the " regular curriculum will depend up-on the number of students to register for it. COMMERCAL LAW AND VOCA- - TIONS. . A colree In ..Commercial Law also one in Vocat'wns , will be offered. ' Whether or not these courseg can be given will depend upon the number of students who register for them. It may be 'rdded that it Is the de-sire of school officials to offer any course rated as High School course which is desired by any number of citizens of tbJs community. HOUR PERIODS. Beginning with the cforalng School Year, the school day will Include six one hour periods instead of seven 45 minute periods. It Is believed that this system will provide a number of important advantages the most outstanding of which will be tho lengthened period of time given for students to study with their class, room teachers. With the forty-fiv- e minute period students have very little time to stu-dy under the direction of the teacher teaching the clasB but instead go to a general study room where com-parative Uttle real supervised etudy can be given. This plan is conceded by school pebple generally to be unsatisfactory. It is believed that the plan to be used hereafter will be an Improvement over the plan used heretofore. SMITH SPEECH IS PROGRESSIVE, HUMAN, STAND Democratic Nominee Pledges Self to Administration for Benefit of All the People. AGRICULTURAL PROBLEM TO GET PROMPT ACTION Will Enforce Dry Law, Stamp Out Cor-ruption and Recommend Change to Congreii Promisee Hon-est Tariff. ALBANY, N, Y Aug. 22. Before an immense throng which gathered to hear his first pronouncement on the Issues of the Presidential campaign, Governor Alfred E. Smith accepted the Democrats nomination for President here tonight In an address which was as progressive in character as It wa? courageous in Its terms. Governor Smith pledged himself nqo his party to the restoration of honesty In government; to the promotion of real prosperity for the whole people-throug-actual rather than fancied economies and reorganization In pv ernment and the enactment of tariff legislation; to the establishment of a foreign policy opposed to ranted Intervention In Latin Americn countries and for the outlawry of vm. and to the stamping out of cornip'lo: in prohibition enforcement. The Democratic candidate himself squarely on record f'tr finr relief and promised to cull togelliet the best Informed minds among farm ers, business men and economists l'-- mediately following the election to devise a practicable plan for the con trol of surplus crops for submission to Congress at the beslnnlng of his administration. "Upon the steps of this Capitol where twenty-fiv- e years ago I first came Into the service of the state, I receive my party's summons to lead It In the nation," said Governor Smith In accepting his party's call. "Within this building I learned the principles, the purposes and the functions of gov-ernment and to know that the great-est privilege that can come to any man Is to give himself to a nation which has reared him and raised him from obscurity to be a contender for the highest office In the sift of Utj people. f !r . ''With a gratitude too strong lof words and with humble reliance upon the aid of Divine Providence, I accept your summons to a wider field of ac-tivity." Ho sounded the keynote of his en-tire address when he said: Constructive Government "Government should be construc-tive, not destructive; progressive, not reactionary." "I am entirely unwilling to accept the old order of things as the best unless and until 1 become convinced that It Sannot be made better," he con tlnued. "It Is our new world theory that government exists for the people as against the old world conception that the people exist for the government,'-h-said. The candidate reaffirmed his belie In the soundness of "deliberate action of an Informed electorate." He re-ferred to the public issues he carried to the voters In New York State and added: . - J "That direct contact with the peo-ple I propose to continue In this cam-paign and, If I am elected, la the con-duct of the nation's affairs." He said he would strive to make the nation's policy a reflection of the na-tion's Ideals. Cleveland's phrase, "Public office Is a public trust," now takes on new meaning, he said. ' "The Republican party today stands , responsible for the widespread dishon-est-that has honeycombed Us admin-istration," Governor Smith asserted. The Governor attacked the claim of Republican prosperity. "The Republican party builds Us case upon a myth," he said. Four million men out ot work, whole Industries prostrate and wide-spread business discontent do not spell prosperity, he continued. "Prosperity to the extent that we nave It is unduly concentrated and has not equitably touched the lives ot the farmer, the wage-earne- r and the Indi-vidual business man," said Governor Smith. Republican leaders have tried to di-vert attention from the real situation by a propaganda of governmental economy, he asserted. The Republican party promised re-organization of the government, he aald, yet after aeven years the struc-ture la worse than It was in 1921. Governor Smith pointed to the in-crease in federal appropriations, against which, he said, the official spokesman answers only, "We have given an economical administration." "I assert that there Is no proof," Governor Smith declared. After giving a summary of the gov-ernment finances, he pointed out that aj against the claim, of, Uix reductions (Continued on page four). Bill STAND-ARD DEVELOPING OPENING OF ORE BODIES ' AT DEPTH IS PLAN TO BRING EARLY SHIPMENTS. What now appears to be another very alrge and important mining development la the stale, Is that of Bingham Standard Mining Co.. and acting upon the opinon and advice of hree mining engineers and gologita each one of whom made examination of the property, the Lone Pine groun of mining claims In West Canyon, Bingham diatrict, were purchased by some of Utah's conservative, success-ful business, and fincncial men .and the B'ngham Standard Mines corn, pnny Incolrpora'ed to own develop and operate these valuable proper. tlr. ; Being railed upon to nir.ke on ex-amination and report or the property, Mr. A. F. Moreer, noted engineer rnj geoloj'l-t- , states as follows: ; TIMBER AND WATER. There Is a sufficient amount of ( riliur in the Immediate vicinity of 1' e i.:lne and on the proper! es for all necessary mining tnl primary build Jig purposes. At about 150 fit from the en ry of jhe lower tunnel there is a splendid spring which 13 sufficient to produce ample water for all doniest'c purposes. A creek pass, es the mouth of the upper tunnel which will furnish rbundno water foi milling purposes. ORE BODIES. The ore occurs In a monzunite por phjry dike as welf as replacement deposits the dike Itself being altered by the mineral of the metalliferous deposits. It is evident that the pro-phy- ry has gone through extensive hy d rot hernial alteration, and it is duo to thLs action that the mineralization has occured which Is characteristic of the geology of the large producers of the West Mountain Mining district, which Is commonly known and ealled Blaglifttu. The Ume in the contaec la of the upper M'esisslppltn Age, Trio, fracturing of tv lime hafl been so complex th; t it has opened mlnlatur-- j figures and h is through this agency that tha l"me has been htg'-l-y satur ?.ted l.y the metalliferous deposi'e H th-- ? second- beldlng. The dls-;ln- Group of fissures have a tretid n pi "!o.i?atlou to the monzonile wl ich is norfh 40 to 60 degrees west. The fissures have been filled wltli mineral depos'ts of considerable . strength. The ores consist chiefly of Pyilte ; nd Sphalerite containing lead, silver, gold and zinc. A cross-c- ut through the dike 43 feet wide, in tho present Lone Pine tunnel, shows a mas sof altered limestone cut. into innumerable flfsures hat vaT 'n strike rnd dip that cut the entiro mass into elongated lenses So great has been this shattering in te alter-ed rock tbi&t In Its greater portion the original character cannot be recogn-ized. I find that in the 32 feet there isn't a quarted of an Inch that is not high-ly mineralized. Scattered throughout this body axe grains of Pyrite and Sulphides, which contain a notable amount of lead, silver, gold and zinc. In the main, however, the major rafn-pral- te tlon l composed of a fine, trained Galena. Following along the limestone contact a replacement de-posit occurs. Tliis ore averages about f 3 feet in width and has been opened I along the strike of the vein for a distance of about 80 feet. This vein l3 of good grade commercial ore and careful sampling shows assay values averaging around $20.00 per ton in lead, sliver, gold and line. There Is in my opinion a splendid chance for tMs entire dike to make Into ore of shipping grade when cut by the low-er tunnel, when would expose a very large tonnage of shipping ore; be-cause the upper tunnel seems to be started on a level, which merely skims oveSr the top of an apparently large ore body. This Is very evident because an examination of the top and bottom of the tunnel ttself, dis-closes that the ore at the bottom of the upper tunnel widens out from the sides of the bottom end narrows up considerably at the top of the tunnel, all within a radius of 10 feet. And in this connection 1 wish to emphas. Ize the fact that the highest grade streak of ore in the entire mine wag (Continued on page 8' SCHOOL CONSCIOUS.. With the rpproach of the school year 1928-192- 9, we become ,as it were, school conscious. On the one hand, we are consider-ing the advisability of more school-ing, and, on the other, wondering about the r.ttitude of mind of those who do return, either through choice or compulsion. On this decision and attitude may hlnse s iccesft or failure in the undertaking. In the modern competitive contest to make good, it becomes a coDf!rt of wits. Adequate schooling can play an Important part. There 1j no magic in education; H does not in-sure success, but there is no better insurance against ft.ilure. It helps devslop greater resourcefulness; ability to expand earning power; contributes to greater moril force and better citizenship. We accept commercial forms of in-surance because they are tangible. We do not question the value of against sickness, accident, death, unemployment, or loss by 1 Ir-i- , tornado, haij or rain. The insurance Sta e and County g'.ve us, through education, is not co tangible. Yet it la nevertheless a force with tangible resul s. A person may secure a position, but it 's an-- ! other thing to haM it. Education, properly applied, can lighten tluit gr'p. It cm give the practical turn to a. groping ambition; .it can iuspire initiative; it can teach the profitable use of leisure; if can instill the proper attitude towrrd life and labor by hand or brain. We bui'd up a cash reserve to safe-guard the future of a business. Wo put shock abeo'ibers on our motor car3 to get us over the rough places; we put on emergency brakes. We build up a physical reserve to protect iw against disease. We need a sim-ilar reserve fund :'n our cultura existence. Education is a fertile source of supply. School doors will reopen on Sep-tember 4th. The occasion should not be lobked upon as an opportunity to get away from work, but to pre. Ipcre for it; not. a finishing school, but a preparation training; not an op-portunity to discover self-intere-sts and adaptation; not insurance against mediocri'y, but opportunity to avoid it. No teacher, howexer efficient, can do much in the education of an un-willing ch'ld. She can afford the op. portunity and point out th- - way. The child, in cooperation with the parents, must do the rest. The school doors are wide open. Those privileged to enter should not feel that they have been sentenced to serve, but have been selected for eervice. DANGEROUS ASSAULT MAY PROVE FATAL. Bob Bukson, Fiulander, of High, land Boy, almost debowe!ed Ceo. Papablch, Austrian, of the s.atne place last Thursday night In a fight which took place In the road near the lower prt of the busine-s-s section of High-land Bby. When Deputy Sheriffs Mclntyre, Jones and Hendrlckspn arrived on the scene a few minutes after the fray, they found Papablch on his back w'th a knife wound through his abdomen almost a foot in length. The victim of the knife was huriedly ed to the Bingham hospital where a very del'cate operation was performed In an effort to save his life. - tv;;u;. Bukson who i3 charged widi the assrult, made-- an attempt to get away but was found and placed under rr-- re,st by 'he officers before he could do so. At first he denied any know--" ledge of the affair but later he Is re- - ported to have admitted It. The off-icers were assisted by the residents there, one of whom fottnd tht'tnlfe with which It Is alleged the cutting was done Bukson was taken to the County Jail where he is being held pending the outcome of his victim's condition OFFICERS DISAPPEAR WHILE MOB RULES TOWN. Taking advantage of the absence of Chief of Tolice Sorensen who was out of town and by inveigling other local officers out of the way through one pretext or another, a large and bo'eterous mob ovofrpowered Police-man Hendrlckson, placed him In shackles, and marched him down the Main street to the lower end of town, where r, wrecker from one of' t! e garages was obtained.. Then they placed him on the crane-boo- m of the car and proceeded to Copperfield aad b; ck to the City Hall. At this point Steve's only friend who had accom-panied him up to this time, balked when the jail door swung open and she was allowed to go and r.ttend a "Shower" given by some of hrj friemis. Steve was not so fortunai-- , however, and wa soon languishing In solitary confinement. " Now, to give you the "low down" en the story, lrst Wednesday Mr. Hendrlckson .("Steve" as he 4s known to his close friends) and Miss Hatt, a very popular young lady of Bing-ham, were married in Salt Lrke City. The boys had promised to "remem-ber" them when this event occurred and It 'a reported that the young couple used the fire-esca- pe in making their exit from the City & County Build'ng to rvold pursuit. They ar-- j rived in lower Bingham at 6:30 A. M. . Thursday morning and were conceal. ied at the home of a friend until eve-ning. After dark the br'de was whisk-ed up the Canyon in an automob'l" and the dashed up Carr Fork on a motorcycle to a secluded park, ing place far up the canyon but the vigilance committee's eye had locat-ed them and the rr.ee was over. Someone unlocked the jail during Thursday night or Friday mornin? and many of the boys were smoking cigars Friday. We join the many friends in to this young couple our most sincere congratulations.
