Salmon plan
shows regional
cooperation
Washington Governor Booth
Gardner praised the Council's salmon
plan when he met with Council
members in Olympia at their October
meeting.
. "You have proven what I always
have believed that regional co
dbcration works," the Governor said.
Cooperation on a salmon plan is
particularly important in light of
ongoing legal battles over protecting
the spotted owl. "What we found is
that when we let go of that issue, and
we let the federal government be
responsible for trying to resolve it, it
hasn't been resolved. I think we've
made tremendous progress on deal
ing with the issues of salmon in the
Columbia River. Regional coopera
tion, I think, is the route to go,"
Gardner said.
The Council adopted its salmon
plan last month. The plan includes
actions designed to improve salmon
survival at every stage of the salmon
life cycle.
"What we have to do now is
implement the plan," Gardner said.
"This is no less important or arduous
than the issue we have just under
taken." Gardner noted that California
failed to adequately implement a re
covery plan for endangered Sacra
mento River winter Chinook salmon.
"California had a good 10-point
program for recovery that never got
implemented. The result is now chaos,
bitterness and disaster," Gardner said".
About 1 million acres of farmland
have been cut off from using Sacra
mento River water for irrigation or
have had water deliveries reduced
substantially.
"This happened because nobody
rode herd on the agencies that ought
to have taken action," Gardner said.
"We cannot be lulled into that fate."
Gardner warned that the challenge
of salmon recovery cannot over
whelm another challenge finding
new sources of energy.
"If we are to succeed at meeting
this challenge, we will have to put
every lesson we have learned about
regional cooperation to work,"
Gardner said. "We will need to be far
more aggressive about conservation.
We will need to overcome the insti
tutional traditions that ect in the way
of progress on the development of
both conservation and renewable
resources.
Rolland Schmittcn, regional di
rector of the National Marine Fisher
ies Service, also commended the
Council for completing the salmon
plan. Schmitten said the Council's
measures would form the foundation
of a recovery plan for Snake River
Chinook salmon, which have been
listed as threatened species under the
federal Endangered Species Act. The
Service is developing the Chinook
recovery plan.
high school such as, cross country
from 89-90 and from 91-92, basket
ball all four years, and forestry for
three years. I ler favorite sport is cross
country, she feels because it is an
individual sporl Her favorite class is
chemistry even though it is hard, and
her favorite teachers are Steve Hillis
and Nick Kcczlc, "because they ex
pect only the best from students, and
challenge ihcm." Special awards
Macy has received include Most
Valuable Player in 1989, first team
all-state in 199), Best Performance
and second team all-state in 92 as
well as lettering in cross country. A
letter in basketball, and three letters
in forestry.
Her outlook of the past school
years she states, "I feel 1 have ac
complished many things in high
school but wish I would have ran
cross country all four years." When
asked what her feelings were about
this being her last year in high school,
"I am excited about his being the last
year of high school. I am really
looking forward to going away to
college." she states. Macy feels she
will miss her friends, how laid back
MadrasWarm Springs is and the
teachers who were good friends.
Her career choice is criminal
justice but she is at this time uncer
tain of a college choice. She would
like to comment to the remaining
lower classes, "Never be afraid to get
involved with school clubs, you can
learn from people who share the same
interests and have some fun." In five
years from now Macy sees herself
hopefully done with college and in
ten years to have a job and maybe
settled down (married).

emotions." His favorite class in high
school was metals shop which he had
his freshman and sophomore years.
Special awards he has received in
clude letters in baseball his sopho
more and junior years and also in
football his senior year.
His outlook of the past school
years he feels, "Wish I would have
tried better in my classes." Although
he feels happy that this is his last year
in school but will miss something
about high school like the sports and
his friends. His career choice is in
Natural Resources, but he is uncer
tain about a college to attend. He
comments to the remaining lower
classmen, "Try hard, give it your
best, whatever you do." In five to ten
years Wcwa sees himself working
and living alone.

Old Days-
In Agent Smtih 's letter of February 20, 1832, to the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, he describes his efforts to establish a boarding school
at Simnasho for the Warm Springs Tribe.
Disposal, reduction of toxic waste important
Here's what you can do to reduce
toxic waste:
1. Before purchasing any house
hold or gardening products, read the
ingredients and check for warnings-.
Use the least toxic materials ava l
able. 2. When purchasing products thai
contain harmful chemicals, such as
paint, cleaning solvents, and other
household products, buy only as
much as you think you'll use avoid
leftovers.
3. Dispose of hazardouschemicals
correctly. Don't pour them in the
gutter, down sewer drains or on the
ground.
4. S upport and participate in com
munity programs for safe collection
and disposal of household hazardous
waste. Call the EPA's kCKA
Supcrfund Hotline at 800-424-9346
(in Washington, DC, 382-3000) for
the phone numbers of state officials
who can help you plan a hazardous
waste disposal program.
5. Take used motor oil to an oil
recycling center. Many gas stations
and repair shops also recycle oil.
(For more information, check with
your local or state department of
consumer affairs or solid waste.)
6. Pull weeds instead of using
herbicides. And use mulch to dis
courage weeds from growing in the
first place. (Check with a local
nursery about the best type of mulch
to use.)
7. Use alternatives to pesticides in
your yard and in your house. For ,
instance, use nontoxic soap sprays
that kill insects, or put out insect
traps that use natural attractants. And
instead of using commercial insecti
cides to kill cockroaches, try boric
acid. Use a dust bulb to inject boric
acid dust into out-of-the-way crevices
where roaches live. Although boric
acid has a low toxicity about the
same as aspirin you should still use
it carefully. Wear gloves and a filter
mask when injecting the dust, and
apply it only in areas where children
and pets can't reach.
Warm Springs
February 20
Sir
I haw the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your
communication dated Jan 21st 1832 510131; 111932 relatht to
the establishment of a regular boarding School. 1 have delayed
answering a few days, in order that 1 might more fully advise you.
Ever since 1 commenced planning for a school for the Warm Springs
Indians, 1 have had it In mind to some time change It Into regular
boarding school. To this end last summer 1 erected two buildings at
the Sinemarsha valley some 18 miles NWfrom this Agency. Of these,
one building Is 20 x24, I story high and Is for a school house; the
other 16 x24, 1 12 stories high, for a dwelling house, and is now
occupied by the Industrial teacher and his family.
Tfie Indians hauled in most of the saw logs and hauled over most of
the lumber, for these buildings, and without charge to the Government.
Last week 1 paid the Warm Springs a visit and met all of the principal
men, to whom 1 made known the subject matter of your letter. They
were highly pleased with the plan of a boarding school, and agreed to
gel in the saw logs, and when the lumber was sawed to haul It out for
the erection of an additional building, and to fence in about 4 acres of
land for a boarding school garden. The location Is a beautiful one,
with nice spring water, the richest of loam and an abundance of timber
close at hand. It being nearer the mountains, and at a higher
elevation than this Agency, the winters are somewhat colder, witn a
deeper fall of snow than at this place, but in the summer time it is a
delightful place, and the favorite resort of the Warm Springs. Tfie
establishment of a boarding school at that point is all the more
necessary from the fact that the Warm Springs are loth to leave their
usual winter camping ground at or near the Warm Springs river but
they are willing to give up their children to be permanently domiciled
at a boarding school. Their children have never been to school and
need every possible help, to enable them soon to over lake the children
at this Agency. The day school will be the best here, from the fact that
most of the families are within easy reach of the school, so near in fact
that it would be difficult to keep the children entirely away from their
parents, which is very essential in order to leach them the English
language, or rather make them speak it; for many of them can now
read it very well. Our best and more advanced scholars were sent to
the Indian Training School at Forest Grove, a year ago last July, and
there receive all the necessary instruction. Tlie Warm Springs, with
one or two exceptions, were not willing to have their children taken so
far away, hence they should have as near as possible the like
advantages near home. As to the boarding school being under the
Immediate supervision of the agent, 1 would say that as long as 1 am
here, I expect to spend much of my time at Sinemarsha, and often hold
religious services there.

Strand, Atkinson, Williams & York, Inc.
(503) 226-2458 or 1-800- 452-1929
December 8, 1992 Member SXP.C
think that a building 1 12 stories high and 24x40 ft will be all that
will be needed for a boarding school. Die lower part to be used for
a kitchen and dining room; the upper part for sleeping rooms, a
partition run across the middle, and a flight of stairs at each end, thus
keeping the boys and girls separate. All the material etc for the same,
can be furnished here, that is, if I am allowed to purchase the nails
asked for in my letter of the ?' inst. The necessary furniture can
mostly, if not entirely, be manufactured here, and cooking utensils,
dishes etc are now on hand. It may be necessary to purchase another
cooking stove or range, at about $40.00 and other necessary articles
at about $100. 00. At least 60 pair of blankets costing about $300. 00.
I have a few pair of blankets on hand, but they are well worn, having
been used by policemen, when going some distance to arrest offenders,
and also been used in the Day and Boarding School at this Agency.
Other material for bedding will cost say $10. 00. To erect this building
and also a carpenter and blacksmith shop; which I intend to have,
erected the coming spring in any event, I ought to have the services of
a carpenter for at least two months at about $75. 00 per month, making
$150.00. I have employes that can do the work but other necessary
work would have to be neglected, did they do this work. Tfie total
expense in cash would then be about $600. 00, aside from what can be
supplied from supplies now on hand, or by the Indians.
Provisions etc.
I think I will have enough with those now on hand, and estimated for,
for the next fiscal year to supply the boarding school, and continue the
furnishing of a noon day meal to the day school here. I think it best
to continue this meal as it induces a more regular attendance. It is not
unlikely that some of the Indians near this Agency, who are related to
the Warm Springs, will send their children to the boarding school. I
have thus outlined the work as nearly as possible, at this time. When
the plan comes to be carried out, many articles will no doubt be found
necessary, that are not now thought of, hence if it is decided to carry
out the project I ought to have some discretionary power, and be
furnished with ample funds to pay for what I may find it necessary to
provide, say about $200.00 or $800.00 all told. My estimates are for
at least 30 scholars. I have all the time intended that the Sinemarsha
school, should be an industrial one, and am only too glad to adopt
your suggestions and unite the two, making it a boarding school as
well. It will probably be necessary the next fiscal year to provide a
matron as well as a teacher and assistant.
