I i Em1'' - 1 i- Fire's likely cause is Cottonwood trees Naples and Vernal City-Uintah County fire units responded to a fire last Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. which threatened a trailer house, damaged a truck and destroyed a shed. The fire, which seems to have many origins, was likely spread by the cotton from the many cotton-wood cotton-wood trees in the area from a field at 1800 East and 1500 South. "Sometimes the cotton can be as flammable as gasoline," said Duane Paulson, deputy fire chief. "We are not sure what caused the fire, but the fuzzy stuff helped to spread it" One of the first persons at the scene was Charles Jackson who saw the black smoke and helped the owner fight the fire with a neighbor's neigh-bor's garden hose. "I saw the smoke at about 1:45 p.m.," Jackson said. "I ran to the neighbor's to get another hose." The fire was carried by the cotton from the trees to the back yard where some sheds were destroyed. The fire also came within 10 feet of a propane tank by the house. The east side of the trailer home was scorched. A one and a half ton truck on the west side of the home was also al-so burned. Firemen were at the scene until about 4 p.m. No one was injured in the fire. J V U h . .

Winter wheat production up Utah winter wheat production is forecast at 4.9 million bushels, up 6 percent from 1991 but 18 percent below 1990, according to the Utah Agricultural Statistics Service. Yield is forecast at 43.0 bushels per acre, up 7 bushels from 1990 but equal to the record high yield of 43.0 bushels in 1987. Acres for grain harvest are expected to total 115,000 acres, down 12 percent from last year. United State's winter wheat production pro-duction is forecast at 1.62 billion bushels, up 18 percent from 1991. Yields are expected to average 37.3 bushels per acre, up 2.5 bushels from last year. Acres for grain harvest har-vest are expected to total 43.3 million mil-lion acres, up 10 percent from 1991. CUP "model" reclamation project By Helene C. Monberg Vernal Express Washington D.C. Correspondent The recently authorized $924 million mil-lion Central Utah Project (CUP), on which there are several provisions in the new Bureau of Reclamation (BuRec) bill (HR 429) which passed the Senate on April 10, was cited as a "model" in water efficiency efficien-cy in the West by panelists at a water efficiency briefing here on May 4. J. Stevens (Steve) Lanich, staff water specialist on the Water and Power Subcommittee of the House Interior Committee (HIC) said, "These people (CUP supporters) knew they had a problem getting a billion dollar project finished, so they cut a deal with fish and wildlife interests. Portions of CUP are reauthorized in the new bill. The CUP provisions in the bill have the most progressive water use and efficiency effi-ciency language! ever considered. CUP is a model for projects in other parts of the West" regarding efficient effi-cient use of water. "Five years ago this could not have happened," he said at the briefing sponsored by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute. Other panelists agreed. Stuart Somach, a Sacramento, Calif., attorney attor-ney representing a number of water interests including the Central Valley Project Water Association, observed, "The CUP water conservation conser-vation package" in the BuRec authorization au-thorization bill is "significant" because be-cause the parties involved carefully worked out meaningful language prior to it being put into the BuRec bill. 'They know exactly what they are getting into," Somach stated. The House version of the new BuRec bill passed the House last year. HIC Staff Director Dan Beard told Western Resources Wrap-up (WRW) on May 5 chairman George Miller, D-Calif., of the House Interior Committee probably will move ahead on initiating a House-Senate House-Senate conference committee after the Congressional Memorial Day Recess (May 25-May 29). The key CUP water efficiency provisions in the bill establish an ongoing process requiring the Central Utah .Water Conservancy District of Orem, Utah, to develop water conservation plans with input from agricultural, municipal, and public interests, and to submit the plans to the Secretary of Interior for approval. These must be designed to provide for a 10 percent reduction in agricultural deliveries or 25 percent per-cent in overall water saved by year 2000. The language was worked out by local CUP supporters with Edward Osann of the National Wildlife Federation, WRW has been told.

Road building and its effects on wildlife by Tery Messmer USU Extension Service Roads for many are as essential to life as food, water and shelter. For wildlife they pose a deadly threat. In this country we have millions of miles of roads. They vary from multi-laned concrete interstate systems sys-tems to single lane section-line trails. We use them to carry our crops to market, our children to school and ourselves to work. To build this transportation network net-work cost us plenty. Aside from the actual costs of construction there arc, in some cases, the social costs of relocating families, the economic costs of displaced businesses, and the environmental costs of the natural natu-ral area that has been permanently affected. Any time a road is built, at least since 1969 with the passage of the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA), the builders of roads must identify and comply with several sev-eral regulations. During the early planning stages, if federal money is involved, they must attempt to minimize min-imize the potential negative impacts the construction, operation and maintenance a new road may create. Thanks now to NEPA, we hopefully hope-fully have fewer families being displaced, dis-placed, businesses being forced to close their doors and less wetlands being filled in without just cause and fair compensation. All the tangible tan-gible effects of road building are now being counted, but have wc considered the intangibles? Unfortunately, nobody counts the songbirds, snakes, salamanders, skunks, squirrels and other wildlife that wc sec squashed on our roadways. road-ways. Sightings of smashed wildlife have become an inevitable occur rence of our modern transportation system. Any time you bisect natural wildlife habitats with an artificial barrier designed to carry high-speed and relatively silent machinery, you can naturally expect the stage has been set for frequent and decisive wildlife and motorist interactions. Usually it is wildlife that get the raw end of such interactions. All the motorist has to put up with is the short-term memory of a sickening thud. However, if the interaction involves in-volves a larger animal, the consequences conse-quences can be disastrous for both. So what is a good, self-respecting motorist to do? Since we can't and don't even want to go back to the horse and buggy day, the best way presently that a motorist can reduce the chances of colliding with wildlife is to be alert. For example, deer crossing signs in Utah arc not erected for cosmetic reasons. They are put along our highways because certain stretches cither have histories of frequent deer and vehicle collisions or are adjacent to areas of prime deer habitat. Thus, when you see a deer crossing sign, it is in your best interest in-terest to ease up on the throttle. And just because you happen to sec a deer pass in front of you doesn't mean you're in the clear. Often there arc others following it. Based on traveling thousands of miles across Utah, the best recommendation recom-mendation I have to reduce wildlife motorist interactions is to drive well-rested. Take several rest stops along the way on long trips. Travel the speed limit. And if you're driving driv-ing in an area that looks like it could contain an unexpected surprise, sur-prise, slow down a little. If you don't, you could stand to lose more than a little time.
