Second, and which Is the most feasible If not too many plants are present, and If the undesirable grass Is a bunch type, dig the grass out and reseed or place a sod of desirable grass In the hole. Generally digging the sod out about six Inches deep is sufficient. Third, spray the bunches with amltrol or dala-po- n - wait three or four weeks until the grass is dead then dig out and reseed or resod. Bunch grasses found in lawns In this area are generally orchard grass. This maybeident- -' if led by the flat stems near or the crown of the plant which round has fescuegrass stems. Often these grasses are started by planting cheap-poseeds or by birds, fertilizers top soils or by man. If the coarse grass Is not a bunch or annual grass, such as green foxtail or barnyard grass, then you may have quack grass. This Is quite common In lawsn, especially In new subdivisions. quackgrass does not form a bunch, but is spread by underground rhizomes. If this Is the undesirable grass in your lawn, learn to live with it.

Trevithick said today he had been advised by Postmaster General Winton M. Blount in Washington D.C. that the record $1.2 billion 1970 deficit compelled President Nixon to seek postage rate increases. Without higher rates the Depatment will be left with a staggering deficit that would become an added tax burden. In addition to increasing letter mail from 6 to 7 cents, as proposed by the Jounson Administration, President Nix on also asked that second and third class mailers help reduce the large postal deficit which would otherwise be paid by taxpayers, the postmaster said. For bulk third class mall and most magazines and news- papers, the rates would be increased 16 percent to 20 percent above todays levels, he noted. These percentages include rate hikes already scheduled by previous action of Congress. The Presidents recommended Increases will reduce 1970 postal deficit by the more than $600 million. The postmaster listed these other details on the proposed increases: First class mail: Letters and post cards would be increased one cent, to 7 cents an ounce and 6 cents a piece, respectively on July 1, 1969. Airmail postage would remain at 10 cents. This will yield $547.2 million in new reven- ues. SECOND CLASS MAIL: A handling charge of 310ths of a cent per piece for circulation outside home counties would become effective July 1, 1969. This would yield million annually and $15.3 would represent a 12 percent increase In addition to the 8 to percent rise scheduled take effect January 1, 1970. the GOLDEN SPIKE to the RED METAL Central Pacific 1873 Bingham 1904 Copper Belt Railroad 1905 Bingham Camp Floyd Railroad High Line" Garfield Railway 1948 Utah Copper Division Ore Haulage Plant 1369 Union Pacific 1911 Bingham & -- Completion of the first transcontinental railroad by the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific at Promontory, and the subsequent building of branch lines, were principally responsible for the development of Utahs mineral industry. Construction of the Bingham and Camp Floyd Railroad in 1873 made possible a burst of silver and lead mining in Bingham Canyon. The low grade copper ore, however, was not easily smelted and so it was largely ignored. Not until Daniel C. Jackling proved that mass production of low grade ore was economically feasible was the Bingham Canyon Mine to come into its own. ten-ye- ar In April, 1904, an experimental copper ore concentrator was completed in lower Bingham Canyon to prove the Jackling theory. Ore was transported to it by the nine-mil- e Copper Belt Railroad, which shortly afterward was purchased by the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad. As envisioned by Jackling, large scale processing would be done at a concentrator in the Magna area, nearest source of adequate water. To transport the & ore to Magna, the D&RGW in 1905 constructed a branch line known as the Bingham High Line. Because ore tonnages increased so rapidly, an additional line, the Bingham and Garfield Railway, was constructed and placed in operation in 1911 as a subsidiary of the copper company. In 1947 a new line was constructed to shorten the route of ore haulage over a lower elevation eliminating the steeper grades and sharper curves. In 1948 the Bingham and Garfield Railway was abandoned as a common carrier. The line became an industrial railroad, and now operates as the Utah Copper Division Ore Haulage Plant. One hundred years ago, the joining of the rails at Promontory made it possible to develop the mineral industry of the West. That development has been a main line to the progress of the Utah Copper Division. With pride in its own progress, Kennecott wishes to recognize the significance of the era of Golden Spike in saluting the railroad industry which has helped to make Utah and the West great. THIRD CLASS MAIL: For single pieces, rates would be increased one cent per piece. This would yield $12.4 million. For regular bulk third class, the minimum would be increased to a uniform rate of 4.2 cents SSennecott Copper Corporation i Utah Copper Division An equal opportunity employer I |
