D o n 't BUM the senes s ta rtin g n ext w eek. The M onday hearing of the O regon Fish Com mission and the W ashington Fish D epartm ent is a reflection of the attitude of these agencies tow ard Indion fisherm en. The m ere fact that officials w ere brought from Seattle and Boise to consider closure o f the Indian fishing season demonstrates the total lack of respect the ogencies h ave for the Indian ftshing industry and the court decisions regarding their treaty rights. The u n b e lie v e a b le fact is that this prospective closure, which w ould have prevented the proiected catch of 20.000 salm on, was to save a possible 100 steelhead Everyone adm its that this year's poor steelhead run is the result of the dams in the C olum bia and Snake Rivers and the destruction of fingerlings on their w a y to the ocean an d not the Indian fishing. The logic w en t os usual. The com m ercial and sport seasons w e re o pened Their catch was good The fish ore scarce, so stop the Indians fishing above B onneville Dom There seems to be no regard for the fe d e ra l court decision which says that the Indions must be a llo w e d the catch. The Commissioners avo id this problem w t h their own d efin itio n o f the court decision. But aside from w h at the treaties g u aran tee or the lodges say. w e ore sure no one w o u ld even consider closing the non-lndton com m ercial fishing or the sports ftshing to save 100 fish. I.
