Right of Indians To Fish at The Dalles May Go To High Court The Dalles UK The United States Supreme Court may have to decide if it is legal for Ind ians to fish commercially just below The Dalles dam. Indians are dipnetting a few yards downstream from the dam's spillway and fish ladders as a result of the loss of Celilo Falls which was flooded out by the pool behind the dam. Harry Hogan, Wasco county district attorney, said a con ference is scheduled in Portland at the Oregon Fish Commission office with John Nichols of the attorney general's office sched uled to sit in. Both sides said they expected the problem to wind up in the Supreme Court before it is settled. Stat Hai Power Chairman John C. Veatch of the fish commission believes that since all commercial fish ing has been banned above Bon of the salmon run that Indians should be barred from fishing commercially above Bonneville. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton, through Nichols, said April 10 in a letter to Veatch that the state has the necessary power. He cited a 1942 Supreme Court decision which held that an Indian did not need a Wash ington license but that he was subject to the state's fishing reg ulations which were in effect for the purpose of "reasonably" conserving a natural resource. But the Indians take a dif ferent view. Second Section Medf 12 Pages I Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1957 They maintain tnat an 1855 treaty allows them to fish In j their " usual and accustomed i places." They claim that in years past they have fished various sections of the Columbia river and that in any case the Corps of Engineers has given them the Lone Pine campsite near . The Dalles dam as a fishing spot. Ac cording to agreements made when Bonneville dam negotia tions were under way Indians were promised in-lieu sites for fishing spots which would norm ally be inundated by the Bonn eville reservoir. When The Dalles dam was built. Army engineers made cash settlements for the "subordina tion'.' of fishing rights in the reservoir covered Celilo Falls the Indians went' to the engine ers for their in-lieu site. Percy-Bingham, a member ol the Umatilla reservation, said "we are going to fish and we can't eat all we catch." Indians also claim white fish ermen catch 90 to 95 per cenl of the commercial catch and ii the state is worried about con servation it should begin there. Chickens probably were the ' first birds domesticated' by an cient man. Spanish conquista dors brought the fowl to the New World. Though varieties of chickens are numerous, present day species have a common origin, the Red Jungle Fowl of India. ' .
