THURSDAY, JULY 19. 1973 A LARGE BULLDOZER picks up a six inch diameter corregated plastic conduit and plows it four ftt underground. AT&T is using this method of laying its L-4 transcontinental telephone cable in northern Utah to avoid disturbing the environment. This conduit is buried through a small opening around the cable plow. The earth falls back into place and subterranean rocks do not come to the surface. Land along the path of the cable will be restored with natural vegetation.

Return Of The Mountain Man If you happen to be in the high Uinta primitive area between August 18 and September 3, ycu may think someone has flipped the switch on a time machine and sent you back to the days of the early West. For, between those dates, you may very likely see a buckskin clad, coonskin cap wearin', muzzle-loader to- tin' mountain man. However, if you muster up the courage to talk with the rugged individual, you'll learn he's very likely a city dweller come to get a taste of how it was when the West was young. The Board of Big Game Control this year set a special muzzle-loader deer season for lovers of this fast growing sport. The special hunt, which coincides coin-cides with deer and elk archery season, allows guns shooting balls of .430 inch diameter or greater. Muzzle-loaders may also hunt during the general season, but at that time must be attired in the more conventional hunter's red as specified by law. capable of carrying 36,000 simultaneous, two way conversations. conver-sations. It has already been laid from Boston, Mass to Brigham City and is being extended around the northern end of the Great Salt Lake into Nevada this year. Two other sections 'The sideleg route in Salt Lake will provide more long distance circuits for all Utah telephone customers to call cross-country or around the world," Finch said. Long Lines, the Bell System unit responsible for interstate and international communications communica-tions services, is pioneering a new method of burying the coaxial cable in Utah that is faster and has a minimal impact im-pact on the environment. Two large bulldozers combine to plow four inch corrugated plastic tubing four feet underground. under-ground. The ground heaves upward up-ward around the cable plow and tubing, then settles back in place over the buried tube. The topsoil remains on top and few rocks are brought to the surface. sur-face. Telephone cable is later pulled into the tubing. In some areas where cable plowing is impossible or where blasting is necessary to break through rocks, the alternate trenching method must be used. This cable burying method requires a four foot deep trench and extensive backfilling operations. opera-tions. It also requires about twice the amount of working area as the newer plowing method and greater restoral efforts. ef-forts. Manholes have been placed at one mile intervals to house repeater equipment for amplifying amplify-ing voice and data signals traveling trave-ling the transcontinental route. Clean up crews are following the cable placing operations and are restoring the land as nearly as possible to its original contour. con-tour. Later this year restoration crews will restore the rignt of way to its original condition by removing excess rock unearthed unear-thed in cable laying and reseed-ing reseed-ing to reestablish vegetation. To Him no high, no low, no great, no small; He fills. He bounds, connects and equals all! Faith in al all-seeing and personal perso-nal God elevates the soul, purifies puri-fies the emotions, sustains human dignity, and 'ends poetry, nobility and holiness to the common manner of life. Epochs of faith are epochs of fruitfulness; but epochs of unbelief, unbe-lief, however glittering, are barren bar-ren of all permanent good. THE L-4 TRANSCONTINENTAL CABLE is pulled through plastic conduit already plowed beneath the ground. The 22 tube, coaxial cable is capable of handling 36,000 simultaneous, two way conversations. This particular section is west of Brigham City in northern Utah. The cable was laid from Boston, Mass. to Brigham City in 1971 and is now being extended to Oakland, California. The transcontinental route will be completed in 1 975. ' The very commonplaces of life are the components of its eter nal mystery. Wake!
