Show 8B Sun Advocate, Price, Utah -- - Tuesday, August 18, 1998 State receives $70 million cash OGDEN, Utah (AP) State need 20 acres or more to susland managers say Utah pulls tain it, he said. Hebertson said that might be in around $70 million in cash a year from leases and royalties a bit conservative. The cow might starve in on state and federal lands. some areas before finding Some say its not enough. The money comes from oil, enough food to eat, he said. To be fair, however, it should gas and mineral royalties, rentals, cattle grazing, timber and be noted that some of the trust brine shrimp harvesting. The lands that are grazed would not figure includes only cash pay- bring in any money at all to the ments and not the overall eco- state if it were not for the nomic impact of the lands and cattle, Hebertson said. The trust lands, he said, charge $2 their resources. per cow and calf per month. As for the profit from small timber, its actually an improvement over earlier years when timber harvesting in the state cost the Forest Service more to manage than it earned. It also should be noted that Utah is not a mqjor timber state, said Forest Service spokesman Bob Swinford said. Oil and gas profits, by far, drive the money train on public lands, Foreman said. The actual return to Utah from its public lands in 1997 was appro:dmately $83.2 million, but that included a onespokesman Management time $11 million infusion from Glenn Foreman. Foreman said cattlemen in previous underpayments. Trust lands revenue, which Utah pay $1.26 per month for one cow and calf to graze on is earmarked for Utahs public BLM lands. In many areas of education institutions, earned the state, however, one cow may $35 million in 1997, but The least productive activity is grazing, which accounts for just $650,000. And timber, another traditionally western activity conducted on public lands, accounts for only about $1.4 million. Leasing land for special uses like communication towers is less bothersome and more profitable than grazing cattle, said Utah Trust Lands AdministraDave tion spokesman Hebertson. Thats not a popular sentiment in rural Utah, say Hebertson and Bureau of Land Hebertson said $20 million annually is a more realistic fig- ure. Foreman said the approximate $44 million BLM paid to Utah from oil, gas, coal, mineral and grazing revenue earned in the state in 1997 is pretty typical. The federal agency owns 42 percent of all Utah lands and gives the state about half of any revenues collected from them. The Forest Service returned only about $1.3 million to the state in 1997. Department of Natural Resources Director Kathleen Clarke said she is less concerned about the amount of revenue the state gets from the federal agencies than she is about the lack of control Utah has over the lands within its borders. Decisions involving such issues as grazing and wilderness, or water and wetlands, affect the livelihoods of rural citizens, Clarke said. Hebertson believes the state could also make more money off the lands by managing them itself. There are reliable studies out there that prove states can more effectively manage their own lands than the federal a government can from Washing- year from leases ton D.C., he said. State officials, however, admit they may not be getting top dollar for some of the resources they now manage, particularly the resources extracted from the Great Salt Lake. The lake is managed by the Department of Natural Resources, which is presently trying to increase its revenues. SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A federal judge has ruled that the government must prove a Summit County sheep rancher intended to illegally graze his flock on federal land before he can be convicted of a crime. U.S. District Judge Dee Benson, in a ruling that goes against what a magistrate had decided, said Dr. D.A. Osguthorpe cant be convicted of allowing his sheep to graze illegally on federal land unless the government proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he did so recklessly, knowingly or purposely. The ruling reverses a magistrates finding that Sections AT A FEET FROM THE NORTHWEST E proved his sheep were on the land without authorization. Osguthorpe, who also operated a Summit County sheep ranch for the past 40 years, was cited in 1994 for placing or allowing unauthorized livestock to enter or be in the (Wasatch-CachNational Forest. He did not contest the citation and was sentenced to e) one-ye- 572.53 FEET ALONG AND CONGRUENT LIMITS, THENCE S3"49'47"W 199.68 FEET, THENCE ceived three more citations in late 1996, he pleaded not guilty and asked for a ruling on whether intent is required to prove a violation.
