So more frantic calls were made and one was I finally located in Redmond. With men working practi cally around the clock on this emergency, power was finally restored and things were back to normal at about 8 p.m. that evening. But Thompson of Wasco Electric said that the icy road conditions extended the time of the outage by at least six hours. And what about the 50 or so guests staying at the lodge? According to Dan .Myles, Kah- Nee-Ta manager, guests were shuttled to the River Room at the Village for meals, but their rooms had power so that was no problem. He said that because the guests were so nice about the inconvenience, and because they were so receptive to the efforts of lodge personnel to make their stay pleasant, he arrange for champagne with their breakfast as a parting gesture. “Not only were they gi;eat about it,” said Myles, “ bu,t they rebooked for next THE NEW TRANSFORMER, which was trucked from Umatilla after the old one blew up, sits in front of the lodge waiting for the crane.

Box 735 Columbia River fish plan drafted The salmon, and steelhead runs have been dwindling dur ing the long history of dis agreement over fishing rights and management in the north west. Next week there might be good news for the fish population as well as for the various user groups who take an interest in the fishery of the Columbia River. Treaty Indians, whose rights have been consistently ignored, have taken a leading role in fashioning a compre hensive fishery manageihenet plan that is presently being circulated among federal, state and tribal groups. If approved by these parties, the plan will be presented to Judge Belloni who has prtesided over the lin gering U.S. vs Oregon court case. According to Dennis Kar- nopp, attorney for the Confed erated Tribes, there is reason to be optimistic about the ac ceptance of the plan. “Every body has said this problem is insoluble,” Karnopp said, but he feels that this plan is a quarters for the teacher aides and tutors. The workable solution. Ambiguity created by Tribes purchased the unit and 509-J will rent it and with JOM funds.

Warm Springs, Oregon 97761 You are not looking down the barrel of a huge shotgun, but rather an assembly line of horizontally stacked “hogs heads”—the life blood of the $7.5 billion a year tbbacco industry. These hogs heads, (sh o w n ) w hich are being processed at the $200 million Philip Morris Operations Cen ter in Richmond, Va., contain nearly 1,000 pounds of tobac co which is stored by com p u te r o p e ra te d machinery and aged until ready for use. drawn up by attorneys i for the Tribes, the director of Oregon Fish and Wildlife and a rep resentative of the Attorney General’s office, is an attempt to interpret and build on the Boldt decision. It suggests dif ferent management plans for each kind of run, including fall, spring and summer chi- nook salmon, summer steel head, sockeye (blueback) sal mon, coho salmon, shad and sturgeon. Non-Indian user groups as friends of the court have been given every consideration in the plan which Karnopp feels is a good balance of Indian, non-Indian and conservation interests. Although the plan only applies to the Columbia River downstream from Me-' Nary Dam, the success of the plan is dependent on the simultaneous control of ocean fishing, which could be a state priority, indicated Karnopp •- The action needed in order to have the plan implemented is for the United States, the states of Oregon and Washing ton and the. four Treaty Tribes to “ stipulate that the court adopt the plan as its decree.” Such action is hoped to take place as the resit of intertribal meetings being held in Port land at press time and a pos sible public hearing in the coming week. If accepted, the compre hensive fishery management plan would be a historic de cision, the impact of which can only be measured by the con dition of the Columbia River fishery in years to come.
