However, there may be a big fly in the ointment. It is the matter ofv license fees. Access to Lake Powell is through Arizona and the nearby Fhore line, including an island just above the dam, will be In Arizona. And. of course all of the trout fishing water below the dam will be in Arizona. But the big lake will strtech 165 miles up into Utah in an are? where access will be very difficult. In recognition of these factors, Arizona has suggested that Utah come into the Colorado River Management Committe, and join with Arizona in a reciprocal stamp license. S3 Stamp Deal Best Method Under this proposal, residents1 of Utah could buy g $2 Arizona stamp which would give them the! righf to fish on the river below he dam and to have access to the lake and fish in Arizona. Arizona-ans- , in turn, would buy a Utah stamp if they fished the river or . thp lake. new However, this is something for Utah and that state ' cannot seem to see the picure in its true light. To begin with most of the law enforcement likely will be done by Arizona because of the lake's isolation from Utah. ' Second, the federal government is doing the stocking of trout and bass in these waters, and will do most of the management work. Third, this gives a person who does not reside in either state a stake in management of this area, visitors and these are entitled to fair treatment by both states. Utah Favors One Way Plan Utah, I understand, would go for the $2 stamp idea for Arizonans and other sisitors on Powell, if Utah residents were allowed to fish in the Arizona part of the lake free and. have free access. But that would hardly be fair. What Utah doesnt seem to realize is that their state would get about 90 per cent of all the $2 stamps"sold under a reciprocal agreement, and would have little nr none of the expense of administration. If something isn't worked out we will have a bad situation. I was up there last summer and couldnt, do any fishing in the river because I could not buy a Utah license closer than Kanab. - .

This is to be a no host affair. Bids were opened today totaling $7,566,016.34 for two major instruction projects ' located in Utah and Kane Couhties. Cox Construction Company- - of Manti, Utah, was the apparent low bidder for construction of a 3 plant mix bituminous surfaced road to be located on US 89 from Kanab easterly for 7.3 miles .toward Johnsdn Creek Competing with eight other bidders, the Cqx Compahy submitted the low bid of $728,883.84. The engineers estimate was The time allowed for the completion of this . project will be 175 working day$. Wallace J.

J. Smiri, Kanab, Member of the Stkte Road Commission of Utah. The project in Utah County is for bituminous' surfacing of Interstate Highway No. 15 from 13th South Street in Orem to 5th East Street in American Fork, and will require 150 working days for compleion. Among eight bidders, the apparent low bidder was the Robert, V. Burggraf Company Of Idaho Falls, Idaho, with a bid of $842,132 50, as compared to the engineers estimate of $908,631.10.

V -'- - Federal Government To Stock Utah Donates Lake Powell Already Growing The lake already is backing blue water a long way up Glen Canyon and by May when it will be stocked with two million trout fry and- - two million has finger-lingthe water will be backed 100 miles up the river. I would not be surprised if some fair trout fishing could not be found in the upper part of the lake this summer quite a number of trout eome down the river each and year during spring run-off- , you can be sure that they will be hanging around where the water clears up. At least there will ba good catfishing for those who make the first trips up the lake, providing it is possible to buy a reasonable license. But I dont think the public will buy very many $9 or $10 Utah licenses then have to run 30 to 40 miles up the lake to use it. s, Emma Adams Laid To Rest In Kanab McAllistef E m m a Elizabeth Adams 91 died at the home of a son Thursday, March 28, in Midvale, Utah of natural causes.
