APRIL 30, 1976 WARM SPRINGS, OREGON PAGE 1 TROUT FROM HAGMAN, IDAHO make an eager splash in the | Happy Valley Reservoir after their long trip in the tank trucks. Fish Planted at Happy Valley The Natural Resources Department planted 1,000 cut throat trout on April 20, 1976, at the Happy Valley reservoir in preparation for the opening day of this years fishing sea son. The fish ranging around six inches were transported in by the Fish and Game Com mission of Hagmen, Idaho. I The truck was being driven continually as drivers stationed at various points along the way relieved each other with the last change being made at Burns, Or., according to our Natural Resource Director, Eugene Greene. This is a very delicate pro cess in planting the fish as the water temperature plays an important part in the opera tion.

Stock owners discuss Range Management Unit Range management plans for the livestock owners of the Boulder, Miller Flat, Dry Creek and Webster Flat areas were discussed by stock own ers of that range area on April 20, 1976, meeting held in the Tribal Council room. There were 34 interested members present who discussed the boundaries of the range unit which rims from the mouth of Warm Springs up to Mill Creek, to the west high points of the Cascade Mountains, down the Shitike Creek to- the Deschutes River and down to the Warm Springs River. The range unit plan is to create a system which will improve forage production in the area for both livestock and wildlife alike, it was said. The system will be on a rest ro tation basis which will be used for spring grazing, fall grazing and also the use of the high mountain area for the summer grazing. The system is planned for the grazing capacity in Animal Unit Months. The condition of the range plays an important part as to the weather and stability of the soil. It should be firm enough to hold under the feet of the livestock, as breaking through does harm both the soil and forage. It will be expected that all members contribute a certain amount of work days on the unit up-keep according to the number of their animal units. Members that cannot meet their obligation must make ad-, vanced arrangements with the officers. All members must abide by rules and regulations as set up by the Association; no one shall hold ahorse or cattle ride without first consulting the range chairman, everyone is expected to help at all round ups, everyone must register his brand and the number of ani mals he plans to turn out on the range unit. Approved breeding bulls are required for each 25 breeding age females, unless other arrangements are made with the Association; as there may be stock owners with just a few animals. Range fencing must be planned, development of watering places established, round-up corrals repaired and, also, salting places set up. The Range Committee, Members of the Association and Water Board will draw up a resolu tion to establish the Range Unit and also certain rules that will be presented to the mem bers for their consideration at the next meeting. A tour for all the members is planned inspecting various locations for future water developrherits. There will be several regular springs that need improve ments for sufficient water at all times. The group discussed the boundaries for each sec tion, and the way things look, everything is shaping up real well. •
