observance of the glorious Fourth in
this great, old camp. The different

their disposal by the business men and

passed by the people here, together
with the provisions being made TO show
all visitors on that day a fine time.
With the great prosperity which is
now attending this camp and the pros
poets for a magnificent future growth,
the spirit of patriotism, which always
burns brightest in contented hearts, will
break forth on Tuesday morning and
continue throughout the day with fer
vid enthusiasm.
Bingham will be an ideal place for
the roasted denizens of the valley to
pass the day, as the canyons are de-
lightfuily cool and bracing, swept, as
they constantly are, by gentle zephyrs
generated by nature and distributed to
all alike.

good people of Bingham and their chief
delight on our nations natal day will
consist of contributing to the pleasure
and comfort of all outsiders who pass
