Show I g- - JUP--& &&'-7l'-p 7 Volume 42 Number 18 Delta, Utah, Thursday, November 1, 1951 $3.50 a Year in Advance Pheasant Hunt Starts Saturday The open season for hunung will open th.s Patant ing. after three and one half days vear SgBlFdS Bre plentiful th's "hooting should be good. Many out of town hunters will come and daily scores are re-questing reservations, of which there are none, and have been none for some time. The daily bag limit is 3 male birds, and the possession limit is six birds. Hundreds o'f acres of farm land has. been posted for the benefit of the hospital and hunters who purchase the red badges can hunt on these areas. Some land has been posted against hunting as there is livestock in the fields which the owners want protected. Hunters are urged to respect these signs and not enter the fields which contain livestock, and to al-so do what they can to protect the farmers and livestock men's property. Last year about $3600 was col-lected toward the hospital fund through the sale of badges, and this year there should be even more collected. Crack Shot Deer Hunters Disrupt Electric Service Main transmission lines of the Telluride Power Company were put out of commission on Friday even-ing, Saturday morning and again Sunday morning of last week, re-ports Mr. Fournier o'f the company. The Sulphurdale-Milfor- d 44,000 volt just west of Cove Fort had the top conductor severed by rifle bullets some time Friday, late afternoon. The Beaver-Marysval- e, 44.000KV line also suffered a broken con-ductor at about this same time. On Sunday morning approxim-ately 5 milee east of Nephi, a con-ductor on the Nephi - Fountain Green 44,000 volt line was shot down in the middle of a span be-tween two poles. All of these conditions caused serious inconvenience to all cus-tomers being served in these areas. Some of these shots may have been accidental ,but the least the person causing the trouble, if ac-cidental, could do, would be to call the nearest office of the Pow-er company and report the cir-cumstance which would help the company operatives immeasureab-ly- , and greatly shorten the length of interruption of this vital electric service to the numerous towns and farms.
