controversy about the hazards of nuclear shipments with a former Interior Secretary and Idaho governor saying residents merely low-lev- el “dodged the bullet” “We can hope that we have dodged the bullet on this potentially very serious accident” said former Gov Cecil Andrus who is running for his old job Andrus who also has served as Interior Secretary said the Sunday night wreck “clearly indicates the dangers associated with the transportation of nuclear waste through Idaho” But Rupert Mayor Bill Whit-tosaid that since there were no injuries from radiation and no contamination and since the radiation-contrcrews handled the situation without mishap the accident may ease fears of m ol acci- nuclear-transportatio- n dents Divers entered the river Monday cut open the truck’s

Franklin County commissioners Monday gave their stamp of approval to officials of a lumber company who plan to build a mill near Preston The commission approved an “inducement resolution” during their Monday meeting which will allow the Economic Development Corporation of Franklin County to issue $45 million in industrial development revenue bonds to the Rocky Mountain Lumber Co The economic development corporation is a county commission-appointe- d organization formed two years ago to foster economic development The lumber company plans to use the $45 million as its sole source of financing for a lumber mill at an old sugar factory in Whitney according to company president Bill Purcell of Belgrade Mont Purcell told the commission he hopes to have financing from the sale of the bonds by Jan 1 and will start construction work at the site soon after that date “There's a lot of construction work that can be done at the old sugar factory during the winter months ’’ he said "We'll also rent empty sheds and garages in the community duing the winter to do prefabrication work As soon as weather allows we'll start pouring cement and hope to be in operation in the late summer or early fall of 1987" The lumber-mil- l business is not in a depressed state as many people believe added Purcell who said he’s been a lumber mill plant manager in the West for more than 30 into

UPI Graphic Duarte says death toll climbs to 976 reports that as many as 3000 people had been killed but he said his figures which included 8176 injured were the most accurate However some relief workers questioned Duarte's figures After Duarte announced Sunday night that 890 people had been killed by the earthquake rescue workers said that while the death toll could still rise as bodies are pulled from the rubble and debris of collapsed building they thought it would be closer to 600 than 900 “I do not want to believe the figures found” were inflated to get more help but we “There are many people still missing” and the fatality figure “will certainly have more or less 600 dead maybe 10000 wounded and 35000 to 40000 homeless” continue to rise” he said The president said he was aware of Ernesto Ferreiro Rusconi a Salvadoran El Salvador (UPI) -Pspeaking on national television shortly after a major aftershock rumbled through San Salvador said the death toll from a series of earthquakes had climbed to 976 people The powerful aftershock Monday afternoon temporarily cut off electricity and sparked renewed panic among the city’s already stunned populace “I now have counted up to this moment 976 dead” Duarte said “We are giving exact figures on the number of bodies SA SALVADOR resident Jose Napoleon Duarte years Red Cross spokesman said Monday The aftershock which rocked the city at 4:25 pm (6:25 pm EDT) was the strongest of some 900 shocks that have struck the city since the first quake Friday "I felt it real strong It was much worse than the many small tremors that we felt since last Friday” said Ana Santos minutes after the tremor hit “I think it’s going to take still longer for the earth to settle But how are we going to live like this for long?" she asked Friday’s deadly earthquake registering 54 on the Richter scale had tremendous destructive force because its epicenter was located almost directly below the city 'Tve actually been interested in locating a plant in Cache Valley for the past eight years” he said ‘Tve studied the amount of lumber that’s available within a radius of the proposed site and that was the big factor selling “We have also been wined and dined by the local development corporation Interest rates are favorable and the demand for lumber is high” he said The company’s biggest market area will be Nevada Arizona and southern California Purcell noted He said demand along the Wasatch Front is also good and added lumber will be trucked to nearby locations and shipped by rail to points south and east The proposed operation will employ 50 people at the mill and another 50 in logging operations The anticipated annual payroll will be close to $900000 he said He told the commission that certain key employees will have to be brought into the area but added the majority of the work force will be hired from the county and trained The avarage hourly pay will be around $8 per hour he added Two eight-hoshifts are planned “We want to be a good neighbor-typ- e operation and more aligned with agriculture than industry” he told the commission In other action the commissioners to take title to the Grande Theater in
