The season ran from noon Tuesday, July 12 to noon Thursday, July 14 in the area from the Hood River Bridge in the Bonneville Pool to McNary Dam. Originally, the states set a three-day season, running from Monday noon to Thursday noon, in the John Day Pool Only. Limiting the season to the John Day Pool would cut down on the “incidental catch” of steelhead and summer chinook, the states said. The intent of the season was to catch as many sockeye as possible and as few chinook and steelhead as possible. Treaty fishermen fished in the John Day Pool Monday as well as in all three pools Tuesday through Thursday. Regulations were different for this fishery, said tribal attorney Howard A rnett. Special gear was required. Nets with 4*6" maximum mesh were necessary, which is nearly halt the size of chinook and steelhead gear. A lso, if steelhead were incidentally caught, they could be sold but if any chinook were caught, those fish had to be turned over to the tribes. Any chinook caught were counted against the tribe’s ceremonial allocations. M/.S. to have new post office soon K ___ I An afternoon swing Spityay Tymoo photo by Shewczyk Warm Springs will soon have a new post office—to be located on the present site of the VFW Hall. TribalCouncil must approve a land lease with the U.S. Postal Service that will include the VFW building site and possibly the house on the corner of Wasco and Warm Springs streets. The site will be surveyed by a tribal survey crew and layout for the post office will be designed by next month. No tribal funds will be used to build the new building and the Tribe will receive a lease fee from the postal service. Children and dogs often enjoy the same activities. Three-year-old Shasta Smith takes on a passenger just fo r the fun of it.
