Lead poisoning may not be as prevalent in Utah as in some eastern or southern states, according to Utah Division of Wildlife Resources water fowl biologist, Tim Provan. For example, very few deaths among Utah waterfowl are caused by lead poisoning. Generally, Utah waterfowl have a softer diet than birds in many other states. Since their gizzards do not work aa hard digesting food, lead shot is less likely to be broken up and passed to other parts of the body. Provan stresses that precautionary measures may be needed in Utah L concerning the use of lead shot, since . waterfowl are affected by lead poisoning.

The "phone book" has undergone a progression from a single page to a modern volume composed with the aid of computers. The first switchboard was installed in Hartford, Conn., in July 1877, the year after the invention of the telephone. In February 1878, the first telephone directory was This "List of Subscribers" issued. consisted of one page of 21 listings into categories divided such as residences, physicians and stores.

The first lists of telephone subscribers were incorporated into the business directories which had been published since the 1860's. In 1904, Rocky Mountain Telephone published one directory for the entire state of Utah. The company known as Rocky Mountain Bell was formed in 1883, incorporating various companies in Utah, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.
