The Warm Springs Community is invited to comment on water quality issues before the joint committee January 15, 1992 at Agency Longhouse January 16, 1992 at Simnasho Longhouse Dinner Is served at 6:00 p.m. Y il Old Days Str Worm Sprint' February 1'ISSl I have ih4 honor to transmit herewith tht reports of my Physician and tht Teacher, for tht month ending January I ' J SSI, and submit the Jvlurwtng at my own report for tht same month. Tht new ytar found us with a very good prospect for a prosperous season to com, Tht week of prayer wot duty observed at this Agency, and gnat interest wot manifested. All tht Indians returned to thtlr homos with glad Starts and good resolutions, Tht very day thty commenced moving, tht 10' of Jan, It commtnctd to rain and by Wednesday tht streams wen higher than they have been for yean. The flood did considerable damage to farms in tht vicinity qf the Agency. After the flood It turned cold again and commenced snowing, and hat continued to snow more or leu vp to tht SO' ultimo, when it turned warmer and again commenced raining and at this date there is a prospect of a greater flood than the first mentioned. Tht winter to far hat been unusually seven for this country, and stock of all kinds Is poorer than far a number of yean past. Still It It much milder hen than In most other places, especially north of us. Should the present snow all go off there will bt but little lost of stock on this Reservation. Tht snow at this Agency had at no one time been over 10 inches deep; while at Oak Drove It hat been two ft and upwards and at At Dalles three ft or upwards. This makes sun what I have at other time asserted that this reservation was one of tht best localities for grating purposes In the North Pacific Coast. Tht Indians seem to bt pntty well supplied with provisions, and as they an killing mon or less deer all the time, they an not as yet suffering for food. Sickness and Death During the month 39 cases have been treated of which 30 wen restored. Then have been 2 deaths boys between Sand 10 yean of age. Of Births Then have been 5 of which 3 wen male and 2 female. Marriages Then have been two of these the ceremony having been performed by mystlf. Tt Day and Boarding School has been in operation since the 10' ultimo. The attendance has been very good, considering the Inclemency qf the weather and high waters. The average was 43 714. The school has been under the Superlntendency of the Industrial Teacher, the regular teacher in the mean time being profitably employed In the wagon shop, and in the office helping the Clerk on tht returns, and the preparatory work of taking the census, Tht Census This work has been delayed by a number of untoward circumstances but I hope to push It to a rapid completion when once fairly Inaugurated. The Indians seem to have a decided aversion towards having it taken, and the matter has to be fully explained and they given time to talk the matter over. 1 The Police have rendered as efficient service as was possible and all that was required of them considering the season and needs of their services. The Apprentices have not been as fully employed as in more favorable weather. The Mills Only the grist mill has been run, and that only a portion of the time, but all that was necessary to have It run. The new saw mill has been frozen up until within a few days, and is now Inaccessible from the Agency, and will be for a week at least. Tht Piutes are managing to get along pretty well Those who came over from the Yakima Reservation without leave, an still hen and receive a than from the Piutes belonging hen, of the rations Issued to the tatter, 1 would gladly issue rations to all of them, but consider that I have no authority for doing so. A few days ago a Piute boy was accidentally killed as it seemed by the evidence brought In the examination of the case, though the young man who fired the gun inflicting tht death round, seem guilty of punishable recklessness, and he should be punished In some way. No mention is made of the case by the Physician for the nason that the boy was dead befon he saw him and he made no examination of the internal nature qf the wound. 1 am somewhat at a loss as to what course to pursue. It is almost useless to appeal to either the Stale or. US Dlst Court, to take cognliance qf the matter. Joel Coronado Essie Lawson WSFPI future- Continued from page 1 tellers...Ucarly, things are a lot dif ferent now than they used to be." The pair is confident that the mill will soon be on profitable ground. However, increased profits will re sult in fewer jobs. A reduction in the workforce will mean that many good employees will lose their jobs. "When you contract as much as we're contracting, it's difficult not to lose good workers," assured Stumbaugh.
