Department and their stocking

sportsmen are allowed to use

not decided or allotted. In other
words, we feel the Blackfeet
Tribe is getting the best of the
bargain if no fee were attached.
Second, the possibility of an
increase of the. Tribal permit fee,
of which we have heard rumors,
could only cause complete and
immediate destruction of the
agreement between the Black
feet Tribe and the Montana Fish

responsible to the sportsmen of
the state of Montana. There are
over one hundred 400 of these
sports mems organizations in
Montana. Our State Fish and
Game Department was created to
manage and protect wildlife. The
problems of the Department are
solved, to a great extent, by
these sportsmens groups, who
represent the people of Montana.
Here is an example of what we
are trying to bring to your at
tention: many of our sportsmen
are family men; then say they
have a wife and two children, all
of whom are interested in fish

ooe County Spotsmen Take Dim View Reservation License

Blackfeet Tribal Recreational
Development Committee
Browning, Montana
Gentlemen:
We are very concerned about
this Tribal permit problem. We
sincerely respect the rights of
the Blackfeet Tribe and feel that
the formation of the Blackfeet
Tribal Recreational Development
Committee is a definite step for
ward in the cooperation between
the tribe and the people of our
country. Our organization feels
that the detectives the Commit
tee has in mind are basically the
improvement of the reservations
natural resources and their use
along the lines that will benefit
the Blackfeet Tribe as a whole.
We feel that one of the greatest
benefits of the tribe would be an
increase in persons visiting the
reservation; not only from the
surrounding areas but from the
country as a whole. After all, the
more persons you are able to
draw TO the reservation the more
money will be spent there to i'm
prove the tribes economy. We
are sure you are interested in
promoting the visits of as many
tourists and sportsmen as pos
sible, as practically without ex-
ception, they spend a good deal
OF money on the reservation.
They buy gasoline, many stop
for meals, overnight lodging,
fishing tackle, visit your other
stores such as craft shops, groc-
cry and dry goods stores, your
places of entertainment, etc.
Their trips to the reservation re-
suit in a great deal of money
spent, thus q definite improve
ment in your local economy.
Our Association, through the
efforts of our meetings and the
resultant discussions, have come
up with a few suggestions that
might be worthy of your investi-
CATION:
First of all, the reservation Is
interested in a greater volume of
tourists and sportsmen to bolster
their economy. We feel that the
The Glacier reporter. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1953-current, 1962-01-18

family, a total of $1,000. This en-
titles them to fish in the state
of Montana. Then, add your per-
nit fee for this family Of $500
per person or another $1,000; this
is a total of S24.00, just to at
tempt to catch fish on the reser-
walton. We are sure that you will
agree that this is absolutely I'M
reasonable. Increasing your Trib-
al Fee would defeat the very
thing you are attempting to pro-
mote, more visitors to the Black
feet Reservation. The average
citizen just could not afford to
pay the freight" as the saying
goes. AS a result of this, who
would lease a domestic on lake
where they could not fish?
Third, let's go the limit, sup
pose you raise the fee to $500,
or some such figure, and were
able to attract (Which is utterly
impossible) a large volume of
people who are financially cap
able of paying such a fee. If these
people came to fish on the reser-
walton (for fish that would not
be there because the Montana
Fish and Game Department
would no longer stock the reser-
Vation) where would these peo-
pie stay? Why of course, in the
best available accommodations,
eat at the very best of hotels and
restaurants where the scenery is
absolutely the most beautiful.
Where are these located? They
are in the international Peace
Park, Glacier and Waterton.
Where then is your tourist vol
ume to help your local business
men? The local sportsmen of
Montana just do not have this
kind of money. After all the
Blackfeet reservation is, and let's
face it, just a part of Montana.
Throughout the state are many
beautiful forests, many nation
ally famous lakes and streams
where the fishing is very good,
with free forest service and state
provided camp grounds and two
beautiful National Parks.
Here are the proposals we
would like to submit for your
consideration: First of all, abol.
ish the reservation fee entirely
II would definitely improve pub
lie relations with the rest of the
country. Second, our organiza'
ton would like very much to see
a five or ten year agreement
with the Montana State Fish and
Game Department. This could
only result in better long range
planning and stocking of fish on
the reservation, thus better fish
ing for tribal members, also fol
us sportsmen, therefore, a great
err tourist volume and more dol
lars spent in your locality. Third
our organization, and we are sure
others in this part of the state
would be very glad to discuss
any related problems with your
organization and assist wherever
possible.

Blackfeet Tribal permits for S1.O0
caused quite little resentment,
not only among tourists, pick
nickers and campers, but 1t caus-
ed a great deal more among the
sportsmen. After all, it is the
sportsmen's license dollars that
stock the reservation with fish,
their dollars that hire the neces-
sary biologists and other person
mel to conduct a successful fish
program on the Blackfeet Res
ervation.
Many of the sportsmen from
the surrounding areas spend
nearly every weekend during the
summer fishing on the reserva-
ton. Many spend considerable
time there also fishing during
the winter months. Nearly with
out exception, we feel that it
is unfair that We have to pay for
our fish and fishing more than
once. We look at 1t this way, the
tourists and the sportsmen from
the state of Montana are paying
for the fishing program; the
stocking of the reservation lakes
and streams and their coopera-
tive management with the Black
feet tribe through their state IL
cense dollars. We must also abide
by all state regulations in regard
to season, bag limits, open and
closed areas, etc. On the other
hand, the members of the Black
feet Tribe are under little or
no regulations as to seasons, bag
limits, closed areas, etc. We are
sure you will agree that the
Blackfeet Tribe is benefitting a
great deal through the use of the

While it is possible to supply
vitamin A to cattle through their

Some stockmen have been in

doing this. A statement by DR.. o.

agement at Montana State Col:
lege cites some of the problems
involved.
"Vitamin A can be added to the
drinking water" writes DR..
Thomas. However, the amount
would need to be controlled "a.
Their closely which means that the
water would have to be in tank
and the vitamin A added very
carefully. Vitamin A added in
this form is more expensive than
other forms and is seldom used
in this manner for cattle.

DR.. Thomas continues, "is not
readily obtained and ordinary
vitamin A cannot be used in this
manner. I cannot find any cost
at the present time on this partic-
ular product, but / am sure it
is much more expensive than or

Results of survey of Montana
Wool Pools to obtain information
on their operations that might be
helpful to all pools are given in
new circular, Montana Wool
Pools" published by the Cooper
alive Extension Service of Mon
tana State College.
There are 80 wool pools in the
state with a membership of some
2,700 growers and il is estimated
that these pools market about
five million pounds of wool an
nually or about 80 per cent of
the states production.
Some pools are more success
full than others and the circular
concludes with a number of rec
concentrations that growers may
find helpful in the operation of
their pools.
Copies of the circular are avail
able at the County Extension Of
flee.
With income tax time approach
ing, farmers and ranchers are
reminded that copies of the 1862
edition of the Farmers Tax
Guide" are available at the coun-
ty extension office. 1t contains
an explanation of income tax
rules which apply to farmers, a
calendar which tells when to pay
taxes, a check list of farm in
come and expenses and a filled
in tax form with explanations.
The year 1862 marks the Gen.
tennial of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. II was May Is,
1862 that President Lincoln sign
ed into law the iact which created
the department. Actually, inter-
est in such branch of the gov
eminent was expressed by Presi-
dent Washington in his last mes
sage to the congress on Deem
Der 2, 1876 when he recommend
ed that a national agricultural
board be established for collect:
ing and diffusing information"
However, it took many steps be-
tween the time of Washington's
message and passage of the act
creating the USDA.
