Wood Cutting
451.001-leglsIatlve History and
Purpose
Timber is one of the most abund
ant and valuable natural resources
on the Warm Springs Reservation.
The management, control and pre
servation of this resource is of vital
importance to the Tribes. The Tri
bal Council believes that it is im-
!ortant to establish fair and just
aws regulating the harvesting of
wood products on the reservation,
recognizing that persons and enti
ties other than Warm Springs Forest
Products Industries may have leg
itimate interests in harvesting and
using wood products on the reser
vation. This chapter is intended to regu
late those uses through the estab
lishment of a permit system. It is
the intent of the Tribe Council that
the permit system be consistent
with the regulations and practices
of the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
including those contained in 23
CFR-part 163.
451.010-Deflnitions
(1) "Wood Cutting" means any
taking of wood products, including
green wood, dry wod, dead wood,
boughs, cones, poles, posts and
any other products cut or removed
from tribal lunds not covered by a
cont rati ual agreement with the Con
federated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation.
(2) "TribalLand"mcansall land
within the exterior boundaries of
the Warm Sprnigs Reservation held
in trust for the Cofncdcratcd Tribes.
Such lands do not include allot
ments and fee land.
(3) "Cord" means 128 cubic feet.
A stack of wood four feet high, by
four feet wide, by eight feel long
equals one cord.
(4) "Value of Products" means
the value of wood products com
puted using the rates set forth in
WSTC45I.I25.
(5) "lndian"mcans, unless other
wise specified, a member of the
Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Reservation of Oregon, or
any other person of Indian blood
who is a member of a federally
recognized Indian tribe, or any
other person on the reservation
w ho is recognized by the community
as an Indian, including a Canadian
Indian or an Alaska Native.
451.100-Permits Required
No person shall engage in wood
cutting upon tribal lands without a
valid wood cutting permit.
451.110 Transportation of Wood
Products on Reservation
All nonmcmbcrs transporting
wood products on the reservation
must have in their possession a
permit issued under this chapter, a
valid bill of sale, or if the wood
products originated from outside,
the reservation, a transportation
certificate and or state or federal
permit in a form complying with4.
Oregon Revised Statutes andor
appropriate federal statutes or
regulations.
451.120 Types of Permits
The following types of permits
may be issued.
(I) Free Use Permits. Free Use
Permits will be issued at no charge
for wood cutting when the pro
ducts are to be used only for local
personal use andor for tribal cu
tural activities. No products taken
pursuant to a t ree Use Permit shall
be sold or traded.
(2) Paid Permits: Paid Permits
shall be issued for wood cutting on
tribal land in cases in which the

What is geothermal energy, resources?
Geothermal energy is power
obtained by using heat from the
Earth's interior. Most geothermal
resources are found in regions where
active volcanoes are located.
The geothermal resource describes
concentration of heat stored in
porous rock close to the Earth's
surface. Areas containing these con
centrations are referred to as geo
thermal reservoirs. These areas
contain hot rocks, hot water, or
steam which transfers heat energy
from deep he sources to depths
shallow enoug.i to be available for
use.
To be economically efficient, geo
thermal reservoirs must have the
following characteristics: 1. Rela
. tively high temperatures (150 to
500 degree fahrenheit); 2. Be located
' at depths shallow enough to permit
; drilling (within 25,000 feet or less
with current technology); 3. Have
sufficient rock permeability to
; permit continuous flow of water or
; steam for heat transfer; 4. Main
; tain sufficient water recharge for
production over manv vears.
I Electricity is generated when hot
J water is flashed to produce steam
which is then used to drive a tur-
Northwest power
loads Increasing
Although energy conservation is
the highest priority of the Bonne
ville Power Administration, new
energy sources will be necessary to
meet future needs of power users.
BPA plans to build small dams,
geothermal plants and cogenera
tion facilities to meet electricity
needs.
According to a recent BPA report
power loads in the Northwest have
grown from three to four percent
mnually in the past three years.
BPA, a federal power marketing
igency, sells power produced by
lams and plants. It supplies ap
iroximately half the region's power.
bine whose mechanical energy is
then converted to electricity by a
generator.
Stages in the exploration and
development of geothermal energy
include:
1. Exploration and reconnais
sance consists of searching for rock
outcrops that have structural indi
cations of geothermal potential.
Measurements for heat, gravity and
magnetism are taken along with
samples of water and soil.
2. Test drilling requires the use
of drilling equipment, a pad for
drilling, construction of roads,
increased vehicle use and increased
disturbance.
3. Production testing requires
the drilling of two or three tapered
holes using equipment similar to
that used for oil and gas wells. The
holes range from 13 to 15 inches
in diameter drilled to depths from
5,000 to 8,000 feet. These explora
tory wells are located in areas and
at angles that intersect natural
fracture patterns where water may
be found. Drilling wells makes up
approximately 50 percent of the
cost of geothermal production
because of the cost to drill through
hard (metamorphic and igneous)
rock. Tests are made during var
ious stages of the drilling process to
determine productive capacity.
4. The fourth stage is field devel
opment and includes construction
of well pads and roads, produc
tion-cathcrina svstems to transport
produced fluids, steam or water
irom wens to the power plant,
waste-water disposal system (which
reinjects water into the water reser
, voir), and support facilities such as
accompanying ouuaings.
5. A power plant and power line
construction is built to convert
Kcothermal encrsrv to clectricit v and
transfer it. The power plant depends
on economic conditions and the
extent of the Ecothermal reservoir.
The primary concern is the tem
perature ol the reservoir.
6. Operation of the geothermal
plant requires continuous testing,
and a staff of maintenance and
operations personnel.

Net otlatlons between the Federal t overnment through General Palmer
and the Columbia River tribes continues.
But that home must be where there are not whites, the price that I have
agreed to give you is more than your country is worth. But we propose
to do you good. But if you live scattered all over the country, we cannot
do you any good. I am in hopes you will sign the Treaty as it is. I want to
know the hearts of the Wascocs and 1 will listen to them what they have
to say.
Mark says. What has Sim-tus-tus said. 1 wish to hear, we did not hear
him and have it explained to us. Gen. Palmer then explained to him
wnat Mm-tus-tus naa saia. Also wnat tne I ign ana i emno people naa
agreed to.
Gen. Palmer then said, I do not know that the whites can settle or
would in that country along with the Tamaloma, but I cannot allow the
line to go as far as that, that the Tigh Indians do not pretend to sell the
Wascocs country, only their own.
Mark said. That is good what he has said. What he the General had
said it is good. We are as wild animals. We are afraid of what we have
heard, like when we are near some wild animal that we are afraid of.
What the others have said, they take your word, they are good, that is
my heart. The place that you have mentioned 1 have not seen. There is
n"t Indians nor whites there yet, and that is the reason I say I know
nothing about that country. If there were whites and Indians there then
I would think it was a good country. That is all my heart. I heard from
you at the other Council good words from you. When there is good land
everything produces well. Where you have given the land it is a large
country, wnen nrst we commenced wun a smau garaen men it win
enlarge, now and after this we can say look, the whites have taken a pity
on us. That is my heart. I am speaking now those things that are to come
after me. When I heard that our children would be taught to read and
write, I am afraid of that country. I wish the line to start from Tigh. My
country lies from Dog River to the Tigh. It is not for nothing that I am
thinking, you will see my heart. I am speaking the same as if 1 had only
one good and fast horse the country that I have mentioned to you, I
speak as if I had only one good horse, the country that you have already
named to us there is only a small piece of it that is good. We claim the
country from two miles below the Dog River, to the Mutton Mt. we
want the line to commence from the Tigh and up. If you take pity on me,
then I will speak to Stocketly.
Gen. Palmer said; The wagon road passes through that country, and I
cannot give it up. The line is a Mutton Mountain. I have told you
already.
To-stmph said: There is no wood there, what shall we saw. He said he
is going to build a saw mill.
Gen. Palmer said: What did we give all this money for, and all these
improvements we propose to put them up a mill, school house, smith
shops, a hospital and c. Where will they send their children to school
and go to mill. It will be too far. There is not much good land in Tigh
and c. When we come to put you all on the reservation, when we find
there is not land enough for all of you. Then we extend and make the
reservation a little larger. I think it will be better for you all to take it as it
is. We d) not want to occupy your country without paying you
something for it. The whites will come and we cannot keep them out. If
we do not make a treaty before two years the country will be settled and
also this country that we are talking about. We know these things. That is
the reason I talk as I do. If you act wisely, you will enter into this treaty.
If I did not believe it would be better for you to do so, I would not have
said so. I want you to sign the paper. If you do not do so I shall go home
with a heavy heart. When you see all the Indians around you provided
for by our Great Chief then you would think you were foolish. Perhaps
some of them think they know much. When they get wise they will think
better. We have been learning ever since we were boys. We do not know
as much as we wish we did. But we know this is a great deal better for
them to sign the paper. But it is for them to say so. If they say yes, well, it
is good. We then can do them good, I do not see why we have much to
talk about. If they wish to sign the paper it is ready. We shall then have
some goods for them. They are down at Mr. Thompsons. When they do
this, then I shall send it to the President and if he approves it then he wil
send me the means to make these improvements. We shall then be able
to provide something for all of you. And them men that have signed wil
get something. I have told them before. It will be probably two years
before we want them to remove on to the reservation if they desire. I
shall probably let them have powder and ball.
Wm. Chinook. I think this is good. We will not leave the old people
and children. How could we say yes when there is only two of us that
agree. I have said yes, it would be like leaving my people. I like the old
men and all to open their ears and hear it all. I do not know the heart of
my people. Their ears are stopped up. They cannot understand. That is
what has kept me back so long. I hey do not know all our hearts yet.
And how could they say yes. You see all that is there, when they can see.
What is good then they will say yes. I know that you buy the land from
us, but my people do not think so, they think you are taking it away
from us.
It is true we are long talking about it but by talking slowly we will all
understand it. That is all I have to say, now some of the other Chiefs will
have something to say.
Gen. Palmer. It is right your people should all understand it. I want
them to understand it. If there are any more that wish to talk, I shall be
glad to hear them. Mark. I do not wish to speak more. I know that the
country you speak of is not a good country. And that is the reason that I
want the Tigh. The Cayuses have given you good land, and they have
also kept a good piece of land. I do not say that I do not give you this
land, I have already given it. There is good timber and good range tor
horses. The winter comes, the snow falls deep. There is not a country to
raise any produce the frost kills it all, if it is a good country, I would have
said yes long ago. This country is not yet filled up it is still opened. I do
not wish to tire our chief Gen. Palmer. We will trade.
Kas Kolla. The others talked and I have listened. I do not wish to
hurt your feelings. I am glad that you have spoken good to us. I want the
little piece of ground at Tigh. We wish to live on it. That our heart will
be glad. We spoke about the land that we are on. Very true that you have
given us good talk for our country. But still I think much of my country.
But I think we will make a trade for the country. If you had spoken loud
as to try and frighten them, I would not talk as I am doing. My heart is
glad, the same as I were wounded. If I do not get the piece of land I want,
at the same time if you would take pity on me to give me that piece of
land. If you would say yes, I am ready to give you all the rest and I am
done. I do not wish to speak any more but I wish to hear that I ask for
this piece of land and I wish to live on it immediately. That is all I have to
say.

Rudy Puente
Madras High school has wel
comed a new assistant principal to
its staff. Rudy Puente transferred
from Lincoln County School Dis
trict in Newport where he worked
with the hearing impaired and
behavior disordered students. He
traveled from school to school in
that district for one year. Prior to
that he was a five-year employee at
an IBM facility in Las Vegas,
Nevada.
Puente first took note of the
MHS position opening when he
saw an advertisement for it in a
local newspaper while in Bend on
vacation. He then drove to Madras
for the first time to have an inter
view with MHS principal Dick
Junge and 509-J District superin
tendent Darrell Wright.
Alter the interview he felt that
the position was an opportunity
for growth professionally. He also
says, "It's the right place for both
myself and my family."
Puente's duties include working
with students on attendance and
discipline, assisting the principal
with the building budget, teacher
evaluations, safety and health of
students and stait, schedules lor
teachers and classes.
The new assistant principal is
also interested in improving com
munication between staff and stu
dents. He visits with students in
school halls and tries to "touch
base" with them. He doesn't want
to be the students' enemy, but
