The swans, which can weigh up to 25 pounds and stand 6 feet tall, were trapped at Idaho's Harriman Slate Park late Sunday and early 1 Monday. They will join 20 other trumpeters already at Fish Springs. Eleven were transplanted a few weeks ago, five spent the summer at the refuge, and four others migrated there this fall. The idea is to get the once-rar- e birds to winter in other Intermoun-tai- n Area sites besides the one at Harriman, on the Henry's Fork of the Snake River. That is the major staging area for the interior population of more than 2.000 trumpeters. Lack of food and possible disease problems involved with birds concentrated in a single area concern biologists. American Stores to acquire 85 stores - SALT LAKE CITY ( AP) The Federal Trade Commission has approved American Stores' plan to acquire 85 Consumer Value Stores in California for $60 million, an American Stores spokesman said.

Corradini fought tears as she thanked her family for the support they have shown during her climb to the mayoralty of Utah's largest h. race to sustain ficially a Democratic hold on the office in otherwise predominantly Republican, Mormon Utah. Corradini, who also attends the Presbyterian Church, is not the first in the office. Her predecessor. Palmer DePau-li- s, is Catholic. He stepped down to run for Utah's governorship, but later dropped out of that race. A businesswoman and management consultant, Corradini promised to look for new ways to save the struggling city money, including sharing services with other entities whenever possible.

Travelers Aid Society executive director Patrick Poulin had read of the way through Huntsman's letter before he realized what was happening. "I didn't know what to say," Poulin said.

Among those species, the study said, is the Mojave Desert tortoise, which v.:s listed as threatened in parts of Utah in 1980. "The Mojave Desert tortoise has declined in numbers significantly in recent years. The 1990 listing document acknowledges that conclusive research is lack- ing, but identifies domestic livestock grazing as one factor contributing to habitat degrada- tion." the study said. Specific impacts include de- creases in plant species important to tortoise diets, destruction of tortoise burrows through trampling and reduction of cover needed to hide the tortoise from predators, it said. The GAO said grazing allotments it visited in the Southwest had been overgrazed. "In Washington County, Utah, livestock graiing plays a minimal part in the county's economy, which is based mainly in the service and trade sec- measures last year, but they were blocked in the Senate, where Western members have more power. Ranchers claim the big increases could put many out of business. But environmental groups contend it would end the overgrazing they say is damaging Western lands. The new study, requested by Rep.

Incumbent council members Alan Hardman and Roselyn Kirk, and newcomer Paul Hutchison, also took the oath of office. The study said plant damage from any overgrazing in such desert areas can take years or decades to repair and threatens many endangered species. m lawmakers may want to ooost grazing fees to help control the damage since desert ranching does not generate enough revenue to ensure adequate government management.
