in school are metals 1 & 2 with Rob

year she was a member of the vol
' leyball and basketball teams. Her
, favorite sport was basketball because
she felt more of a challenge from
' playing the different teams. She also
enjoys playing basketball for fun on
her free time.
Adams' feels when she looks back
at her past school years she wishes
she would have tried harder and done
a much better job than she actually
did, although she feels good about
this being her last year of school.
Seeing her friends is what she will
miss most about leaving high school.
Her career choices are to be a
Legal Secretary or a Court Reporter,
but she is uncertain of where she will
attend college at this time.
She would like to comment to the
remaining lower classmen, "Make
the best of your remaining years in
high school!". In five to ten years
from now Adams' sees herself going
to college and starting her career.

I'm glad to be finishing". Wolfe feels

His career choices are too major
in mechanical engineering and coun
seling, but he is yet uncertain of what
college he wants to attend.
Wolfe comments to the remain
ing lower classmen, "If you can put
your mind to it, you can do it!". In
five to ten years he sees himself go
ing to school and looking fora steady
job.

this new "Non-filer" program is
part of the IRS' larger Compliance
2000 initiative. Instead of waiting
until taxpayers fail to comply with
the law, Compliance 2000 stresses
tax compliance by educating tax
payers before they have difficulties
and offers chances of re-entry into
the system without criminal pros
ecution. The IRS wants to assist people
who have not filed their federal tax
returns. While 1 14 million individual
income tax returns were filed in the
UnitcdStatesin 1992, approximately
6 million stopped filing. It is esti
mated that 3,600 people in Deschutes
County, who should file, do not The
majority of these "non-filers" are
taxpayers with low or middle incomes
who failed to file during one or more
years because of circumstances be
yond their control. These personal
hardship situations might include
severe illness, death of a spouse or
extreme financial problems. Many
of these people are afraid to re-enter
the tax system.
While the IRS will be assisting
with forms due from 1986 through
1991, refunds can only be given for
returns due from 1989 through 1991.
People seeking help should bring
documents showing income and ex
pense information to the IRS office
for assistance in preparation of the
forms.
It is always to the taxpayer's ad
vantage to attempt to fully pay any
Federal Tax liability to avoid accrual
of penalty and interest. It is to the
taxpayer's advantage to secure a loan
to pay the amount due. However, if
the taxpayer does not have the money
to pay immediately, and is unable to
secure a loan, it may be possible to
make payments to the IRS.
The IRS is offering to give non
filers a chance to voluntarily file tax
returns without fear of prosecution
for tax evasion. This initiative is
aimed at people who have not filed
returns and who voluntarily approach
the IRS. For non-filers who do not
take advantage of the IRS ' offer, the
agency plans to significantly expand
its compliance efforts.

My present force embraces all the foregoing except a White woman as
a ma'mn, and the 10 policemen who are not considered regular
Employes.
As to Irregular Employes, it is seldom that I have occasion to hire
such; though there are limes when It is quite necessary, as in haying
and harvest lime. 1 would like it vety much if I could hire a carpenter
say 4 months at $75.00 per month to superintend the erection of Indian
houses, or houses for Indians, but as I am asking for so many other
employes, I will simply offer the suggestion; and leave it to your better
judgement. For temporary service 1 may need $100. 00 to pay harvest
hands etc.
In taking the census, I find by the enumeration schedules that 1 haw
over 800 Indians, or nearly 300 more thin I have been reporting for
some years past. 1 account for it, by the fact that since the census
previous to this was taken, quite a number of families or lodges thai
were on no particular reservation have selected this one as their future
home. Nearly every Indian family upon the reservation has taken or
will soon take up land. This increase in population, the desire of
muny indiar.s to build houses, the increasing number of farms
cultivated and to be cultivated; the cutting of large quantities of
ber, the repairing of an increasing number of wagons, plows etc
increasing desire of many of the Indians to live and to be like white
vie, all these reasons and many more I could give prompt me to
, , for the foregoing force of employes. It seems to be a turning point
'he lives of these Indians, and I hope for ample assistance to move
vard. The particular reasons for each employe are these. A
sician is indispensible sic to the health and safety of all, both
itvs and Indians. I 'nere is no practicing physician, whose services
t i . : secured, nearer than Prineville, 45 miles distant, too far to be
avai ble in critical cases. In time, like the past few weeks, when
th i is cn unusual amount of sickness, and particularly of critical
ca: i and uncommon number of deaths, the Indians lose confidence in
oi remedies, and ars some of them inclined to fall back upon their
o "medicine men. " hence it is very desirable to have the services of
o rysician continued.
A clerk will be needed to do the office work, make issues, direct the
polic for.e, and take charge of the Agency during my necessary
absence. Much of my time has been, and if life is spared, will be,
while I remain upon this reservation, spent, at the Sinemarsha Valley,
where the Indus 'rial school is being built up for the Warm Springs.
My present Cierk often performs other duties and labors, as
superintending the making or repairing of the Agency road:;, giving out
medicines to the Indians, when the physician is necessarily absent to
a distant part of the reservation etc.
A sawyer will be needed to properly run and keep in order our circular
saw mill. The cutting capacity is to be increased, and the large
cmount oflumuer to be cut, for Department and Indian buildings, will
require all the vme of a sawyer and at least one apprentice.
A Blacksmith will be needed to superintend the increasing amount of
repairing to be done, and will need at least 2 apprentices. I wish to
have a blacksmith shop in connection with the Industrial school, and
'iave the blacksmith spend a part of his time there in giving instruction,
o the i ndian bnys, and one apprentice to be settled there.
A Teacher and Assistant will be needed for the day school at this
igency, and if the giving of a noon day meal is continued an Asst.
matron will be necessary.
An Industrial Teacher, Assistant Teacher, and a matron will be needed
for the "Warm Springs Industrial School", wh'ch is expected to
accommodate 30 boarding scholars. As the buildings for the boarding
department are yet to be erected, it will take much of the teachers time
to place them in a comfortable condition for future use; superintend the
boys and teach them the industrial arts, hence the need of at lean one
Asst Teicher and a natron.
A Supt of Farming will be needed, to look after the Agency fanning
interests, Department Stock, and instruct the Indians in farming etc.
A MilLr, and one apprentice at least will be needed to run the grist
mill, end make the necessary repairs to wagons etc and other wood
work in th; Wagon Shop. A regular wagon maker is veiy much
needed, but we manage to get along quite veil, as, in selecting
employes , 1 make it a rule to secure those who can "turn a luind tn
most any kind of work. 1 trust the foregoing reasons will satisfy you
that I am asking for no more than I need, and I hope to be fully
advised before the 1" of next July as to what your decision shall be.
