Show Shell Oil awards contract to M construct processing plant T. F. Hart, general manager for Shell Rocky Mountain division, in Denver, Colo., announced today the awarillngof a contract to The Ortloff Corporation of Midland, Texas for the engineering, design and con- -' struction of a gas processing plant near the town of Allamoiit. Tlie facility will have a capacity to process 40 million cubic feet of casing head gas per day from wells in the Alta moot field. The plant will operate on the refrigeration proerss and will recover three liquid products, propane, butane and natural gasoline. At designed capacity tlie plant will recover about 3,000 barrels of liquid products a day. In conjunction with the processing plant Shell will construct a gas gathering system consisting of pipelines from the wells to three compressor stations located on a main trunk line to the processing plant. The gathering system is scheduled for completion in the spring of 1973 at which time limited quantities of unprocessed gas Democracy Is a system under which a fellow who didnt vote can spend the rest of the year kicking about the candidates the other fellow elected. This has been a year of transition. In around here, they talking with Just cant recall a period of time where there has been more change in our area, unless it were during the initial settlement stages. Most businesses in the county have had to enlarge their operation during the past year. Some have built new buildings, and are again bulging at the seams. Most have added new personel. And there have also been a number of new businesses open. And things have been the same around As we reported the newspaper plant. last spring, we were moving into an expansion program. But its slow. We have added some equipment and one more fulltime employee. More help is needed, but space and equipment limitations preclude this avenue at the present time. New typesetting equipment has been on order for several months, to be delivered probably next month. And finally, this week arrangements were completed for a move into more spacious quarters. The growth has really strained the seams around here (not that were complaining). And nearly all of a sudden we found that our equipment, personel and available space was totally Inadequate to handle the added volume. At the presen time we are producing about 600 papers more than we were one year ago. And a year ago the paper included abot 10 or 12 pages. We are now running 16 and 18 pages. We would have even a greater number of pages if our production could keep up. But bear with us. By the first of the year ( and sooner we hope) our expansion program will have been completed, and we should be able to handle any volume that might be needed in the forseeable future. One of the biggest items yet to come is a computerized typesetting system which should give us nearly twice the present capacity, where as we are now taxing our equipment to the limit in order to produce the paper each week. Well be telling you more about the new equipment later. like most businesses in the Basin, It has been hard to keep pace with the growth. It takes long-ranplanning and after the decision is made, another four to six months waiting period to obtain most of the equipment that is needed. But we hope the end results will Justify the inconveniences that are being endured now. 25-m- ile old-tim- out-dat- ed ge Beware of the politician who shakes your hand now, and shakes your confidence after election. The new campaign expenditure law governing expenditures for federal candidates is causing some concern. Misunderstandings, and misinterpretations by committees and candidates lave allready given rise to charges of "law violations.

Since we cannot publish it In its entirety, anyone interested may come in and read over the requirements. Some of the basic requirements are as follows: 1.

The article from tlie Ute Tribe went on to say that the action was taken "because of the restriction put on the sportsmen by the State of Utah, that in order to prevent harrassment of the sportsmen who purchase a tribal license and to save the sportsmen any embarrassment of arrest and prosecution as threatened by the state, the tribe would substitute members of the tribe in place of sportsmen to bring the deer herds within winter range carrying capacity set by the tribe." on permits that have Commenting allready been sold, the report stated: "The tribe regrets the action that has been forced upon it and will refund the purchase price of licenses to those who have purchased a license in the areas affected. Refunds will be made upon presentation of the license to the Tribal Fish and Game office, either in person or by mall. non-India- ns non-Indi- an September September September September September October 1 October 2 October 3 26 27 28 29 30 72 -- 76 72 73 -- 73 71 82 low 39 43 45 40 33 32 40 40 preclp. .01 Scout Council to elect new officers at meet Dr. Da Costa Clark president of the local Boy Scout Council announced this wed: that the Utah National Parks Council will conduct its annual meeting and election of officers for the 1972-7- 3 year In the new Provo City Center this Thursday October 5 beginning at 7 p.m. In addition to the nominating committee report and election of officers there will 'oe a report by President Clark, presentation of several special awards and short by Mark Mansfield of presentations Orem and Steven Rushton of American Fork.
