May 15. Company officials said
the price reduction is possible
because the new federal tax act is
starting to reduce the company's
tax iiuDiiuy.
"Wc intended originally to use
the tax benefits to offset the impact
of the Bonneville Power Adminis
trations expected rate increase
later this year." said Jack Samper,
regional vice president for Pacific
Power. "But now that Bonneville
has announced it will reduce the
sie of its proposed increase, we are
able to pass along the tax benefits
to consumers as soon as the com
mission approves the new prices."
Although the new tax law pro
vides the opportunity for the price
decrease, Pacific has been working
on stabilizing its prices for the past
several years. Increased operating
efficiencies and stall reductions have
allowed the company to avoid sig
nificant increases for two years.
The company said it expects stable
prices to continue over the next few
years.

Tribes, organizations file suit against BP A
The Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation, the
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon,
the National Wildlife Federation,
the State of Idaho, the Washington
Department of Fisheries and Game,
the Norhtwest Resources Inform
ation Center, the Salmon River
Valley Chamber of Commerce and
others filed their opening briefs
April 6 in a lawsuit that pits Pacific
Northwest salmon and steelhead
interests against a Bonneville Power
Administration (BPA) proposal to
increase power marketing to
southern California.
The lawsuit is the most recent
round in a series of conflicts over
allocation of the Columbia and
Snake rivers' water between power
and fish. "Although many people
have seen the adult fish ladders for
salmon and steelhead at Bonneville
Dam, fewer people appreciate the
obstacles the dams present to young
salmon and steelhead (smolts)
moving downriver to the ocean,"
said Tim Wapato, Executive Director
of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal
Fish Commission. Unless diverted
away from the dams' turbines,
juvenile salmon and steelhead may
suffer extremely high mortalities
(in the range of 70 to 90 percent)
after passing eight dams.
The lawsuit was filed due to
concerns over the availability of
Samish Indians an "endangered
The Samish Indians of
Washington state have recently
petitioned Interior Secretary
Donald Hodel to declare them an
endangered species.
Having been denied recognition
as a tribe by the Bureau of Indians
Affairs the Samish felt there was
no other option.
The Samish had officcial status
until 1974 when the bureau ruled
the tribe was no longer recognized
and was not covered by federal
court rulings that gave treaty
Indians the right to catch at least
half the harvestable salmon and
steelhead migrating past their
ancestral fishing grounds.
The tribe feels it has met all the
criteria necessary for tribal
status. The BI A, however, says the
Samish had not satisfied three of
the seven criteria established in
1978 for the recognition process.
Presently there are 570 Samish
according to a recent tribal
council survey. Most live in
Anacortes area and some on the
nearby Lummi reservation. Samish
aboriginal land was located on
Samish Island, now attached to the
mainland northeast of Anacortes.
The petition for endangered status
was filed under the federal
Endangered Species Act of 1973,
"Any species or subspecies of fish,
wildlife, or plant, and any distinct
population segment of any verte
brate species that interbreeds when
mature."
The tribe has asked Hodel to
review its application for tribal
status and reconsider the final rejection.
water to be spilled over the dams.
"Spilling water is about the only
way to keep fish out of the turbines
at dams, such as Lower Monumental
and Priest Rapids, without juvenile
fish bypass systems," said Thatcher,
the Wildlife Federation attorney.
BPA's proposal would expand the
capacity of transmission lines to
the Los Angeles area by about 1 100
megawatts. (This is roughly
comparable to baseload require
ments of the city of Seattle.) "The
added capacity means that much
more competition for water at the
dams and thus less spill for juvenile
fish," said Thatcher.
The lawsuit challenges BPA's
decision to proceed with trans
mission expansion without pre
paring an environmental impact
statement. "BPA is in an aggressive
market expansion program, due to
present electrical power surpluses
and the market they are targeting
and the reason for the transmission
line is in California, Arizona and
southern Nevada," said Thatcher.
"Fewer than ten years ago, however,
BPA was forecasting power
shortages."
"Each year for at least the past
decade, Indian tribes and state and
federal fish and wildlife agencies
have sat down with the Bonneville
Power Administration and the
Corps of Engineers to develop
juvenile salmon and steelhead pass
age plans," said Wapato. "The
fisheries interests, however, have
yet to get agreement from BPA and
the Corps on the amount of water
to be spilled for fish protection.
Mechanical bypass systems would
solve some of those problems, yet
not all the dams have them. Lower
Monumental, Ice Harbor and The
Dalles dams for example, are not
equipped with those devices, so
spilling large volumes of water is
essential at these dams. More power
sales to California mean less water
for salmon and steelhead survival."
Eye care covered
Court Notices-
Older Oregonians have more eye
care choices now because Medicare
coverage includes optometric ser
vices. Under the revised law, which
took effect April 1, Medicare will
pay eye health care services provid
ed by optometrists. Because
optometrists are readily available
throughout central Oregon, the
Central Oregon Optometic Society
believes the changes will result in
better eye care for senior citizens.
Services covered by Medicare
include the eye health part of an
eye examination when the patient
has a symptom or complaint;
treatment for eye diseases; and
those who have had cataract sur
gery, payment of glasses or contact
lenses.
Optometrists hold the doctor of
optometry (O.D.) degree. They are
primary health care providers who
examine the eyes and vision
systems; diagnose eye disease and
vision problems; and provide treat
ment in the form of prescription
glasses, contact lenses, vision
therapy and low-vision aids.
