In a statement released by his Boise office, Church said it was "especially appropriate" that the bill be passed on the anniversary marking the arrival of the Mormon Pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley 131 years ago. "The Mormon Pioneer Trail, like the Oregon Trail which it parallels in many places, was one of the most significant migration routes used during the westward expansion of the American people during the mid-1 9th century," Church said. Church's bill creates a new category under the National Scenic Trails Act of 1 968, which established the national trails system.

The category provides for designation of historic trails which have played a major role in American.

Regulations put rancher in court Lyn Gladstone Staff Writer Increasing government regulation appears to have ensnared a Badlands area rancher in legal difficulties. Walter Whitcher Scenic, asked for a jury trial Friday when he was cited before a federal magistrate in Rapid City for a misdemeanor violation of trespass regulations in the Sage Creek wilderness area of Badlands National Monument. About two weeks ago, Whitcher moved cattle from one of his pastures to another through McGinney Pass, in the monument. A Park Service ranger witnessed it and issued the citation.

Whitcher said he moved cattle across the park area "with written permission until about 12 years ago when park officials told me to just go ahead without such authority." He also said he had a short fence in the area to keep the cattle from drifting. "It used to be," said Badlands Superintendent James Jones, "regulations permitted stock movement across Park Service land on written permission of the park superintendent, unless it was allowed in lease or special use permits. "It then seems that for a number of years there was a lot of verbal permission granted. "More recently, it appeared some people were moving cattle across prohibited areas without permission but no one here knew about it," Jones said. "Current regulations require that before such written permission is granted, there must be some assessment of alternatives and possible damage to resources." Whitcher's neighbors are uniting in his support.

"Badlands passes have been used for livestock movement for scores of years," said Gayle Shellito. "And, although many have only paths and are too rough for any vehicle, they represent long-established trails." Whitcher's alternative to trailing his cattle about three miles was to truck them 30 miles, Shellito said. "We used to think of the Badlands monument as a good neighbor, but that picture is changing," Shellito observed. "It's becoming real tough lately. They also want us to take care of their fences and won't do a thing about control of prairie dogs along those fences.

They expect us to work out our own problems of dogs moving beyond those fences onto our lands. "With a little reasonable management," he said, "everyone could get along well." Another rancher claimed the Park Service has let its buffalo trespass on private land. "I know of buffalo with (the Park Service) brand grazing almost daily on private lands." he claimed, adding that the Park Service has refused to remove its animals. 1 I Supreme Court (AP Laserphoto) i 4 I. -1 i I -) 1.

The tentative contract was initialed by the unions Friday and is still subject to ratification by the rank and file in a secret, mail-in ballot. It gives postal workers about a 19.5 percent increase over the next three years. While the postal employees won the crucial no-layoff clause in the pact, most of the dissatisfaction revolved around the failure of negotiators to resolve problems of mandatory overtime, safety in the postal service's facilities and the size of the pay package.

The 19.5 percent increase that postal workers won is considerably less than the 37.1 percent increase in pay and benefits won by coal miners earlier this year.
