I We may soon have a better ! picture of what life was like for Indians a hundred years ago on I the Warm Springs Reservation, j University of Oregon archae j ologist Rick Minor is in the pro ! cess of researching and analyz i ing artifacts retrieved this Sep j tember from Dry Creek, intake ' site of the tribes' Deschutes J domestic water system. ! Minor said that this area of ! Dry Creek by the Deschutes i was probably occupied around 1 1880. "It represents a period ' when the Warm Springs Indians were becoming more and more acculturated, using more of the white man's things," said Minor. "You can read about this pe riod of time in history books, but they don't deal with artifacts. History books tend to talk about famous people while artifacts tell how the common people lived," said Minor. Although the archaelogist and his team didn't find anything terribly exciting, they did un cover more than they had ex pected to. Among the finds were miscellaneous metal parts, lots of glass, and square and round nails. Minor said the round nails were probably from around 1890. They also unearthed some stone tools and stone flakes that were probably from an earlier period. Eating utensils, a vari ety of crockery, dishes, chimney glass and a variety of beads were collected as well as animal bones and river mussel shell. They say that the action at national Indian meetings hap pens behind the scenes, away form the convention floor. It seemed to be happening in both places at the National Congress of American Indians annual convention in Albuquerque this week. The Warm Springs delegation had a private audience with Sec retary of the Interior Cecil B. Andrus, securing his support for the tribes' hydroelectric project.

Although the operating bud get presented to them by man agement was 30 percent higher than last year's, Council has made very little change, delet ing no new programs or posi tions. However, they did add $25,000 for tribal road access for new homes, $50,000 for se nior citizen home remodeling and $183,000 for anticipated rural water projects. Council also approved the $1 million capitalized budget for major improvements at Kah-Nee-Ta.

If this was an old movie I'd be hunched over a manual typewriter, my tie loos ened, a cup of cold coffee at my side, with the ciryscape lying outside the window.

What a delightful set of con trasts! I can feel the sentimentality creeping up and I suspect I'll give in to it. I can always blame the late hour. But this is, after all, my 90,h and last issue of Spilyay Tymoo, and I guess I have the right to reflect a bit. There's no need to dwell on the growth and maturation of Spilyay in the last 3'2 years. Reading the 1976 issues never fails to embarrass me - we have certainly come a long way, baby. I feel fortunate to have been part of that growth. It has meant a few gray hairs for me but it has afforded me a close ness to this community that few "outsiders" experience in four years.

It can lead to pneumonia. Each year (on average) approximately 36,000 people in the U.S. die of pneumonia and influenza. Myth: "The flu shot can give you the flu." False. The flu shot is made from killed viruses. It protects most people from the flu, but it won't protect you from other viruses that sometimes feel like the flu.
