A new exhibit of 12 color litho
graphs and diary entries dating
from 1855 and titled "Rails to the
West" went on display at the Oregon
High Desert Museum Monday,
July 28.
The illustrations were sketched
in the field during the 1855 railroad
survey conducted along the east
side of the Cascade Mountains by
the U.S. Corps of Topographical
Engineers.
The survey parties were searching
for a north-south railroad route
that would connect California with
the Columbia River. They were led
by Lt. R.S. Williamson and Lt.
Henry L. Abbot.
The party of more than 100 men
also included geologist-botanist J.S.
Newberry and Lt. George Crook, '
for whom Newberry Crater and
I he Warm Springs community was invited to a grand opening of the new post o Crook County were named. The
people attended the opening to get a closer look at the facility. Miss Warm Springs 1986, Lana Shike, Williamson River in south central

The illustrations, made by the
artists who accompanied the engi
neers, mappers and scientists, were
among 147 color lithographs pub

landmark in the visual documenta

worldwide utilized the wealth of
data obtained on western geology,
topography, animals, plants and
native peoples.
All of the illustrations to be
displayed are from a Museum col

Students to make film of Menominee reservation
By Lenora Starr
As part of a special training pro
ject, students in Keshena, Wiscon
sin will be shooting television doc
umentaries of the Menominee
Indian Reservation.
Project coordinator Louis Haw
petoss says the purpose of the pro
ject is to "stimulate student's inter
est in the mass media, and to open
doors for career exploration in tel
evision." The cost of the project to the
tribe is almost nothing. According
to Howpetoss the Job Training
Partnership Act (JTPA) program
is picking up the wages for the stu
dents and the University of Wis
consin In-school telecommuni
cations is providing the camera
equipment and training assistance.
The students will be responsible for
writing, editing and snooting the
documentaries. Howpetoss says the
theme was chosen because, "We
want to give students a chance to
talk in their own terms about their
concerns and experiences growing
up on the reservation. The students
involved with the project will really
get a chance to express themselves."
The documentarties will be fin
ished at the end of the summer and
will be shown to the Menominee
community and on their local cable
television. The tapes will also
become available to the Menomi
nee Tribal school district and to
other public schools throughout
Wisconsin.
Within weeks after the project
began, the students interviewed
television reporter Judy Markee,
on the how-tos of reporting. Be
cause the documentary will be dis
playing the positive aspects of life
they interviewed other students
involved in various careers such as
medicine and education. Wiscon
sin governor Tony Earl made a
special trip to the Menominee res
ervation and during his trip the
students conducted an interview
with him.
Is a project like this possible here
in Warm Springs? According to
Margie Earl, head of the local
JTPA Program, the answer is no,
"due to the lack of equipment."
Employees honored for service to Tribe
Post office target of vandals
The new post office at Warm
Springs has already become a target
of vandalism. A number of shrubs
and trees were planted at the site
and within a couple weeks, an
unknown group rode bikes through
the area, pulled up shrubs and dug
up plants. The damaged plants
were replaced in time for the postal
inspection of the facility and the
grand opening.
A note to the people of Warm
Springs: We have been waiting a
long time for the new post office
and it should be something of pride
for the community. If you saw
someone tearing up your yard at
home, you would stop them or call
the police. Well, the post office is
yours, so if you see someone vanda
lizing the grounds or building, be a
responsible citizen and do something
about it.
