News from the June 13, 1980
edition of the Spiljay Tymoo.
The Confederated Tribes of
Warm Springs and the Oregon
Fish and Wildlife Commission
are accused of discrimination ifi
a petition circulated by Prineville
sport fisherman Bill Moncricf,
regarding Warm Springs' own
ership of Sherar's Bridge.
Moncrief said sport fisher
men at Sherar's Falls have not
had any problems yet with any
of the parties mentioned in the
petition, nor with Indian fisher
men, but that the petition was
protective measure in the event
sport fishermen were charged
additional fees for use of the
falls area or "if they close us
off and try to restrict us in any
way." In other news:
