Lunt said it had been reported environmental groups are heavily lobbying all the members of the House and the Sen-- i ate. It is not very well supported in Utah but the Easterners want the bill passed, said Lunt.

Moon said the Rotary, Lions, Chambers, Ladies groups, miners, farmers groups and all who are interested should be urged to 'write a letter. No fora letters should be sent. All letters should be originals but the same letter can be sent to all the members on your lists. Tb clarify this, we mean no form letters and no copies. These letters can be as simple as just saying NO to HR 1500 or they can give information about the harmful affects that this bill will have in their own town or county as it pertains to them. It is important that we get this letter campaign going, said Moon. The Wilderness Bill should be offered into the Senate around the first part of October. Lunt said those writing letters should make it clear that HR 1500 does not represent the views of Utahns, that it is a counterfeit representation of how Utahns feel, that it is a radical proposal which would do permanent damage to the social mid economic climate of rural Utah. The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) is made up h members of primarily 90 and receives percent of its of state interfrom out money ests. These people do no have the well being of Utahs people at heart, said Moon. Another concern, said Lunt, is that Enid Waldholtz has not changed her amendment for adding almost 4,000 additional acres to the bill and has continued to remain strong in her belief that the bill will not pass without additional acreage. To date, the 14 counties involved with wilderness and who have WSAs (Wilderness Study Areas), have not agreed on all the language in the Jim Hansen bill. There is still concern, said Lunt, about road safety issues being left up to Secretary ofthe Interior Babbitt, about the buffer zone language, and the Trustlands exchange and mineral lease revenue situation. non-Uta- .

She told the council there, was not enough room for a road and if it were included there wouldnt be room for a house. Council member Karl Worwood said he had made the suggestion to include the road, but agreed it was not necessary after looking at it more closely.

Feeder cattle, those that could be fattened for slaughter, outside of feedlots total some 46 million head a 2.6 percent increase from last year. This means there are more than enough feeder cattle for feedlot operators to purchase. Hinged to this is the U.S. com crop. The latest U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates are for a crop better than had been expected earlier this summer, if there is not an early frost in the Midwest.
