According to a press release received this week from the Bureau of Land Management, the proposed fee changes will be posted in the Federal Register from now until February 23, and comments from the public are invited. The proposed increases are said to be necessary to bring fees for use of federal rangelands up to fair market value. The recommendations were made by the secretaries of the In- on public lands in Utah is marginal economically at best, yet an indispensible function.

WILDLIFE REPORT UTAH STATE DIVISION SALT LAKE CITY OF WILDLIFE RESOURCES The Utah Wildlife Board met recently to consider the proclamation governing fish and other protected aquatic wildlife for the calendar year 1978. Changes which were made were considered to be of a minor nature and dealt primarily with clarification of wording. Hie Board set June 8, 1978, as the opening date for next year's season and established the hours between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. for the legal taking of fish. One point of clarification that fishermen should be aware of is the section dealing with daily bag and possession limits. The Board moved to add a paragraph which clearly defines these regulations, and that paragraph reads: "Daily bag and possession limits are identical. This means any person may not have more than a daily bag limit in his possession regardless of the number of days spent fishing. Possession shall include: home freezers, trailers, cold storage lockers, detached buildings, etc." In other changes the Board placed a limit on the number of whitefish that could be taken at 20, statewide. The regulation had previously read that 50 whitefish could be taken in Bear Lake. The Board also moved to allow the use of cisco as bait in Bear Lake, providing the cisco used for bait were also taken from Bear Lake. The Board added a number of bodies of wfter to the closed waters category primarily because of fish management programs by Division of Wildlife Resources personnel. Those waters closed for next season are Minersville Resrvoir in Beaver County; Scofield Reservoir in Carbon and County; Lost Creek Reservoir tributaries in Morgan County: Otter Creek Reservoir in Piute County, Koosharem Reservoir in Sevier County; and Upper Enterprise Reservoir in Washington County. Most of these waters have been treated for the removal of rought or nongame fish and will be restocked with more desirable fish. These waters should be open for fishing during the 1979 season with much improved fishing expected. In another area the Board moved to add a paragraph more clearly defining trespass. That paragraph reads: "Private property shall be deemed posted properly when 'No Trespassing signs andor a minimum of 100 square inches of fluorescent or bright yellow paint (on exterior fenceposts, trees; or when metal fenceposts are used, the entire exerior side must be painted) are displayed at all corners, and at all fishing streams that cross property lines, and along all roads, and trails, gates and rights of way entering such land. Posting must be confined to privately owned land under the control of the individual, group or organization and is not valid in restricting access to public lands controlled by publie agencies posted as conservation measures. Any landowner desiring enforcement of this provision must notify the Division of Wildlife Resources in writing 14 days prior to the opening of any hunting and fishing season that property is posted in the prescribed manner and that unless anyone has written permission to hunt or fish on the property, the landowner expects the Division to apprehend and prosecute the trespasser. The Division of Wildlife Resources urges anyone who has questions concerning the newly adopted proclamation to contact its administrative office at 1596 West North Temple for further information. December Waterfowl Hours Waterfowl hunters have just a little more than a month before the close of the 1977 season with the season ending at 5:11 p.m. January 1. The legal hunting hours for the remainder of the season are listed below. You've heard of the old aaying, Well, Im whatever happened to. . wondering whatever happened to the past 11 months. Seems as though the years just rush by so fast it is hard to realize where you have been and what you have been doing. Needless to say there remains much to be done the balance of the year and January of next year with our annual meeting and banquet on the 19th and the State Chamber of Commerce Annual Training Seminar and Banquet on the 13th and 14th. I suppose that is why I wonder what happened to 1977. . .when you are busy time flies. The Retail Merchants Committee of the Chamber of Commerce have an exciting promotion planned for the Holiday Season. The list of prizes to be given away is growing each day. Take advantage of the bargains and get your chance on the many prizes by visiting the participating stores. You have just twenty shopping days before Christmas so hurry downtown and get either a start at your shopping or finish it up whatever the case may be. There are always a few industrious souls who have all their shopping done by now, but there's always a bunch like me, wait untO the last minute. Santa's visit to the city was a huge success as it usually is. Santa brought with him approximately 1200 sacks of Boxing meet set this week On November 19 in Edmondton, Canada, twelve U. S. amateur boxers challenged a Canadian team and in the final tally the two teams scored six victories each. TURN ONS Among the winners for the United States was Rick Glass, Roosevelt. Glass scored his biggest victory to date, winning a decision over Frank Bedeau, to whom Glass had lost a decision in the Golden Gloves regional tournament last March. Bedeau qualified for that tournament by boxing for the state of Montana. He was on the Canadian Olympic team in 1976. Glass is presently being considered by the A.A.U. for a national ranking. Rirk has lost only two of his last twenty two fights. This victory should guarantee a rating among the top ten in the nation for the Utah boxer. On Dec. 3, the Basin Boxing Club will host a meet against teams from Sail Lake City and the job corps from Clearfield. On Dec. 10 BBC will travel to Rock Springs and on Dec. 16 & 17 they are at home for a two day tournament then they travel to Colorado on Jan. 8th after the holidays. The December 3 met will be held at the Uintah Basin Community building at Ft. Duchesne with the first bout scheduled for 7:30 p.m. randy, however, approximately 200 more sacks had to he made up because of the crowd. It was s fairly good day, warm, with some wind. It was not the bitter cold as we had a year ago. John Chasel deserves a big THANKS for providing a free movie for the children. Next time you see him, tell him thanks. This activity is only made possible through the volunteer efforts of generous citizens. Leland Stevenson provided the helicopter, and thanks to him. Socialette Club sacked the candy, the Lions Club arranged for Santa and the city and Legion were responsible for obtaining the tree and I noticed that Moon Lake Electric had a crew working on getting the tree to its spot on main street. City crews put up the lights and Christmas decorations and I understand Culture Club is decorating the tree. Dave Chapman was general chairman of the Committee. Christmas Several businesses along with some city funds paid for the randy and nuts. I wish I could list those businesses names but I do not know who they were at this time. Many thanks to those and others who were responsible for making Saturdays activities successful. If I left someone out it is not on purpose, but an oversight. Dont forget to come to Chamber Thursday at noon, Zions Bank BuQding. Larry Abplanalp, Community School Director, will be on hand to discuss the many programs and activities sponsored through Community School.
