I NO. 1) Eight proposals to be finan ced during fiscal year 1979 by Bonneville Power Administra tion (BPA) were approved De cember 14,1977 by the Columbia River Fisheries Council. The projects will be re viewed by BPA prior to being included in the agency’s budget. They are expected to cost about $1 million. K. The BPA budget is reviewed and approved by Congress be fore the fiscal year begins Octo ber 1, 1978. I Included in the proposals is a joint project of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Com mission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for $104,500 to continue hatchery facilities stu dies on three Indian reserva tions. The studies to be started in the spring using fiscal year 1978 funds, will be conducted on the Umatilla, Yakima and Nez Perce reservations. Other proposals for fiscal year 1979 include: — an evaluation of the contribution of Chinook salmon reared at Columbia River hat cheries to the Pacific Ocean salmon fisheries; — a study of the effects of power peaking on fall Chinook egg incubation and hatching; — a genetic identification study using a new technique for stock identification; and — a study to determine upstream migration habits of transported fish. Funds for these projects are the result of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the BPA, the four Columbia River Treaty Tribes and the states early in 1977. The BPA made it clear that these funds would not be used for projects that would duplicate efforts already being made in fishery enhancement. Their focus is on short-term projects. Members of the Warm Springs, Yakima, Umatilla and Nez Perce Tribes sit on the Steering Committee for the Col umbia River Fisheries Council, which oversees the spending of these monies.

Adult Probation officer Fa bian Sutterlee, who organized the meeting, stated the purpose of the meeting was “to better communication between Reser vation, State and County offi cials,” and that the meeting accomplished its purpose “very effectively.” Brands Should Be Registered All brands that are not registered with the Tribes or the State must be brought to the Natural Resources Department before March 31, said brand inspector Gordon Scott.
