Meanwhile, the crane which
was needed to lift the trans-
former into place was unable
to make it up the icy hill out
of The Dalles. 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,

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.

You are not looking down

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.
