Custer Rides Again

Please refer to Robert YellowtaiFs
letter regarding YELLOWTAIL DAM
in your July 23rd 1854 issue, and note
that the Crow Indian Nation is I'M
alterably opposed to the construction
of the dam. They have a perfect right
to oppose it if they want to because
the site is on their land. We have no
more right to move in and appropriate
the dam site than they have to move in
and appropriate Yellowstone Park for
their buffalo range.
The Crow Tribe has owned their land
since before Columbus discovered Amer
lea, and we have no more right there
than we have in Canada or Mexico.
They are not interested in development
of industry, or irrigation of the rolling,
infertile, gumbo shaIe hills extending
from the Pryor Mountains to the yell
lowstone River. To do so is contrary
to the Indian way of life
Some As years ago, a small group of
Billings engineers and businessmen con-
ceiyed the idea of promoting dam
and power plant at the mouth of the
Big Horn Canyon. They filed water
rights and surveyed the dam site and
tried to interest capital in the project.
1t failed to materialize for three rea-
sons:
l. Not sufficient demand for power
within feasible transmission distance
at that time.
q The Big Horn is the End heaviest
silt carrying river in the world and
will probably fill the reservoir with
silt and terminate its usefulness within
about 25 years.
3. The Crow Nation refused to con-
sent to the use of their lands at any
price for the benefit of palefaces out
side the boundaries of their territory.
AS far as I know, there is no way to
compel them to do so nor should there
be. Their home is their castle.
1t is doubtful if the Bureau of Recla-
nation, the army. or anyone else has
the right to trespass on the Crow res
ervation without the consent of the
tribe The abrogation of all agreements
and solemn treaties with the Indians, |
and showing it down their threats with |

The Readers Forum

tons shows that a recreational area
must receive at least 10000 visits
during the recreational season in
order to yield reasonable profit
after paying the costs of fee colIec-
ton, sanitation, cleanup and ordinary
maintenance
"Of the 400 public recreation areas
on the national forests, not more than
200 receive over 10000 visits and are
otherwise suitable for charging
These 200 areas, however, account for
about one-fourth of the 20 million
visits which our improved recreation
areas receive" end of quote
HR 1928, instead of opening up all
Forest Service areas for fee charging
for recreational use, actually, under
Sec. 4, limits fee charges to areas
that are substantially improved"
where special services or facilities
are provided, and for which estimated
amounts to be collected in fiscal
year justify the expenditures neces-
sary to make the collections"
There is no question as to the absolute
elf not always used) authority the
federal agency now has to charge
fees for recreational use of the for
ests. HR 1928, will put some limits on
that control by limiting the charges
and at the same time prevent the
leasing of our national forests to
profit-making concessioners. PV

nounced that the national debt is S276
billion; that the total of the assess

United States is $40 billion. To the
Government debt must be added the
debts of the states, Cities counties,
school districts; probably $3.50 billion.
Every state, except Nebraska. is in
debt; probably every big city, except
Milwaukee, is heavily in debt. New
York city usually owes more than
81 900 million.
The assessments may be lower than
the actual value. Personally, my prop

would at forced public sale.

United States above the debts is the

Washington Notebook

At the meeting, last Wednesday,
Reclamation Commissioner Wilbur
Dexheimer and Assistant Budget Di-
rector Percy Rappaport said work on
Yellowtail would begin in a reason
able time and promised to submit
joint statement of understanding.
Mr.. Rappaport said funds for Well
lowtail would not be impounded, and
Undersecretary of the Interior Clar-
ence Davis reaffirmed Departmental
policy of bringing "such condemna-
ton actions as may be necessary" to
proceed with construction in case
negotiations fail.
AS for the Presidents statement
about inadequacy of engineering
plans Mr.. Dexheimer said:
"There are no engineering prob
lens involved in any of these prof.
ects."
MORE DAM PLANNING
Elsewhere on the dam front, Com
missioner Dexheimer had good news
for Beaverhead Valley. He reported
to Montana legislators that 100000
had been allocated for planning this
year of the East Bench Unit of the
Missouri Basin project, otherwise
known as the Clark Canyon Dam and
Reservoir near Dillon. 1t is a pro-
posed diversion dam and system of
canals, laterals and drains to provide
water for approximately 23,200 acres
requiring full irrigation and 24,800
acres requiring supplemental water.
This money would be enough, he said,

repeatedly refuse to provide the citi-

of public writings which they have
right to inspect and take copies of

Judges Strike
In Morocco

PARIS, July S (P.-Moroccan
judges and legal councillors un-
derlined the bloody troubles in
French North Africa yesterday
by calling a one-day protest
strike against threats and men,
acing letters they receive.
The protest came amid con-
tinuing arrests, guerrilla skir-
|mishes, terrorism and unrest in
Algeria and Morocco.
The CaSablanca Moroccan
Judges and a group of lawyers
who handle paper work and ad-
vice but do not plead in court,
staged their protest against what
they called the insecurity of
their work. They said they were
continually subjected to threats
as a result of the political situa-
ton in Morocco, a French Pro-
tectorate actually under tight
administration from Paris.
In the last few days. five per-
sons have been killed in Moroc-
co in terrorist clashes.
In Algeria, considered a part
of France itself. arrests and
stringent police measures were
matched by continuing terror
ism.
The word was quietly passed
among the Moslem population
to strike tomorrow as a sign of
mourning against French con-
troll OF the area. The day is re-
garded as the anniversary of the
day the French won control of
Algiers in 1880.

been spent for maintenance and
