The Great Basin MX Alliance is a group of citizens who oppose the present Carter Administration proposal to base the MX on "racetracks" in Utah and Nevada. Its sponsorship of the traveling program is intended to provide a greater range of information about the MX proposal than has been made available to the public by the U.S. Air Force, proponent of the plan. Vice-Admir- al are happening to Beaver. Three that I can think of off hand are Lund's fabric and children's clothing, Lindsay's Garden Center, and Murdocks gorgeous new store. I haven't been down town this week so I don't know how Lunds is progressing but I can hardley wait for new fabrics, yarns, buttons, and trims. Joe took me to the Garden Center Monday. Fruit, vegetables and potted plants were beautiful. They do have a few trees left. Haven't talked to Roger this week. The new store with its spacious aisles, good lighting and the same friendly people to help you is a wonderful addition to Beaver. Another nice happening is Alta and Leon Paice opening up the back of Beaver Variety. Hopefully this will make it easier to get around and find the things we need atAlta's. Sometimes people in business in Beaver indicate they fear competition. Alma's business is better than ever since Murdocks is enlarging. I really think now that more people are able to find the products they want and need in Beaver fewer are going to Cedar City or Salt Lake City to shop. This keeps Beaver's economy in better shape. Money spent in Beaver for needed items doesn't just make a living for the businessmen and their employees. If it stays in Beaver it comes right back and indirectly benefits everyone including those of you who spent your money in Beaver to begin with. Just think of the gas you save when you don't go out of town to shop. Western Auto's new spac IS SPONSORING te ious store is really getting going now. You'll find almost any hardware, furniture, sound system, and auto accessories you need there. Cover All is back in town and seldom have I seen such great fashion for young people (and even mature ladies like me) for such reasonable prices. I've only mentioned new or newly remodeled businesses but I'll cover our tried and true existing businesses in a later article. In the mean time if there is a business you haven't visited in months or maybe years because of some past misunderstanding, mistake or price range, go in, talk to the person who runs that business, tellthem why you haven't been in. Tell them what you need and your price range is. If you don't communicate you'll never know whether you could have saved yourself time, gas and travel and kept your taxes in Beaver County for your own benefit. Try something exciting!

DU Big Banquet Success The first annual Beaver County Chapter Duck's Unlimited Banquet was held April 11 at the Black Steer Restaurant in Beaver. The banquet was sponsored by Duck's Unlimited in order to raise money for water fowl habitat restoration in North America. The local chapter of Duck's Urilimited was formed this year and is chaired by Dennis Cox of Milford. The banquet proved to be highly successful and the Black Steer has seldom seen more people at one time. 75 people Approximately were in attendance at the banquet, most from the Milford area. Some outsiders were drewn to the banquet, those in attendance ranging from Cedar City to Ogden.

This always increases the brush and trash fires along with a multitude of false alarms. Our biggest problem seems to be the way fires are reported. This causes the Vol. Fire Dept. to respond to about 50 false alarms. Fires on the U.S. Forest and the B.L.M. are not handled by the local fire dept. These fires should be reported to the Forest Service or to the Beaver County Sheriffs office. In most cases they are control burns or fires that have already been reported. We have had as many as three false alarms on the same fire in the same day.

Fire is a very useful tool to maintain and improve forage conditions.. Many of our most palatable and nutritious forage plants respout following fire. Such plants include aspen, snow-berrand oakbrush and, exunder very hot or dry cept conditions, perennial grasses, most forbs, and bitter-- , brush. Fire can benefit these palatable plants by reducing the competition from unpalatable plants that do not resprout, such as cedar, pin-yo- n pine, and sbualpine fir. Futhermore, fire can benefit grasses and forbs by burning away the duff that smothers them, and by killing the aboveground part3 of some woody plants so that more sunlight can reach the ground. The nutrition and palatability of the plants which resprout following fire are enhanced by the fertilizing effect of the fire. Most of the burning this past week was in oakbrush that had unpalatable cedar and pinyon mixed in. The old oakbrush was only moderate in palatability and nutrition, and it was largely too tall for deer to feed upon. The unpalatable cedar and pinyon will not resprout, but by this fall new sprouts of oakbrush will already be one to two feet tall. The new oslv brush will be much higher in plalatability and nutrition than the previous oakbrush and the new shoots will be accessible for food. In addition, palatable, nutritious grasses and forbs will increase in the strands of oakbrush due to more sunlight, more soil nutrients, and less duff. Because of better nutrition, deer fawn production in California chaparral Increases by fifty percent for two years following fire.

New Business In Beaver Alton Marshall of Miners-vill- Range Rides Conducted The annual range rides were conducted in Beaver County last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Representatives from the U.S. , Forest Service, BLM and Utah Wildlife Resources joined with interested Individuals to ride through some of the important deer wintering areas in the county. General range conditions, deer herd condition, and numbers of deer .observed were noted. On Wednesday a ride was conducted on the east side of the Mineral Mountains west and north of Minersville Re- -, servoir. About 75 deer were observed in this area, most occurring within a half mile of the reservoir. These deer all appeared healthy and no winter losses were observed. On Thursday and Friday er rides were held on the Most Table and deer were observed on over 300 being sighted. One winter killed fawn was observed plus one fawn that died as a result of becoming cut angled in a fence. Many of the deer east of Beaver appeared in good condition, but some were poor. Most ranges were in fair to good shape, but lack a variety of plants. Sagebrush is by far the most abundant. Ee-av- ll. e is announcing the opening of The Milk Depot, Thursday, April 24.
