employment ON the railroad, the Bison
Range and at the Indian Agency.
In the years Immediately following
WV III the farm dwellings, in the
Moiese valley were inhabited by peo-
pie eager to isolate themselves from
the mad rush. Each year when we
walked the valley during pheasant
season, and, as the years rolled by we
noticed more and more vacant houses.
Many people were forced to move
because they could not live on the
meager income from the land. The
stark emptiness of these dwellings
seems to cry out in despair. Nothing
seems az lonely as crumbling farm
homes and land abandoned to the
weeds.
Through political maneuvering, the
Indian Agency was located near the
town of Dixon, in an Isolated area as
far as the Indian populations are
trated at the north and south ends
of the reservation and it has been
costly and time consuming for them,
and others doing business with the
Indians through the Agency, to travel
to and from this isolated location.
The Northern Pacific passenger train
that served the Agency was discon-
tinued in 1885. Most of the buildings,
residences and offices at the Agency
are around fifty years old. They are
government-own The Indians have
advocated long before Knowles was
discussed that the Agency be moved
to a more central and convenient
location.
In the early Thirties a gentleman
appeared before our Roman High
School assembly advocating damming
all the lakes in the Missions for adj
ditional water storage and for power
and irrigation. We do not wish to
have the natural beauty of our noun
tain lakes and streams destroyed. We
need these undisturbed areas for their
values, for use by an ever
increasing population, for those peo-
pie who will come after us.

CHRISTMAS TREE LOSS
CLAIM mot TRUE"

A tribal member claims the tribe
will lose $4,000 per year from the
Christmas tree harvest because the
Knowles Lake will make these areas
inaccessible. This is not true. On the
range of mountains south of the res
ervoir site the CCC-Indian Division
built truck trails during the Thirties.
The Christmas trees within easy
transportation distance to the truck
trails have been harvested and spur
roads will have to be built to reach
the inaccessible areas whether or not
the big dam is built. This applies to
the lumber harvest also. Knowles res
ervoir will not affect these areas adj
versely. Actually the relocated high
way will be nearer.
want to call your attention to
the fact that, according to their
leaders, the Intertribal Policy Board
was twice put on record against
Knowles without the knowledge or
approval of the Crows, Blackfeet
and Fort Peck Tribes. Further,
James Couture who was the acting
parliamentarian at the MAY, 1869
meeting and Steve Demeras, parlia-
mentarian are both employees of
the Montana Power Company.

UCDC WOULD DESTROY
VIRGIN AREAS

Failing to build the big dams, where
feasible, threatens these virgin areas
and part of our heritage is destroyed.
This was forcibly brought home by the
Upper Columbia Development Coun-
Gil in October, 1859 when they made
the ridiculous and extravaganza pro-
posal to build some 200 small head
water dams, not only in the Missions
but the Bitterroots, Cabinets, Sap
phires, etc.. as substitution for the
big multi-purpose dam. This entire
area is drained by the Clarks Fork
Flathead Rivers. The conservationists
and nature lovers like wilderness
areas left as they are and would have
great multi-purpose dams located at
strategic sites, like Knowles, where
the rivers are already partly har-
messed in plan of full development.
This is the way our Indian people
look at the situation.
A lot of Indians have contacted
favor the federal dam but did not
wish to sign the petition because
they are employed by the Tribal
Council or by opponents of the fed
eral dam and they feared loss of
this employment by voicing pub
lie opinion. Some of the older full
bIoods were unable to voice an
opinion pro or con for lack of
knowledge of the problems facing
them.
There are 35 families using the
Tribal Ranges that would be mum
dated. Of this number, 10 are In
dian women married to non-Indians.
There are other tribal grazing units
leased to non-Indians that can be
utilized by the Indian stockraiser now
using the river ranges. The Knowles
reservoir will flood 16,976.81 acres
of dry range land now having carry
ing capacity of 1927 animal use

We believe our Congress will be
truly and honestly considerable of the
Indian rights and legal status under
existing treaty with our tribe. The
indians like to be considered as re-
sponsible as other citizens. Perhaps
you recall that Flathead Indian was
one of the four men who carried the
American flag to the top'of Mt. Sura-
bachi on Two Jima.

A FEW MAKE "FAIR LIVING"

True, there are several pieces OF
land within this area on which fair
living can be made and it is sad that
those people who will have to be re-
located will have to make this sacrl-

consideration be given the people in

rent between $1,000 and $l,25O. 1t is clear from the most ee-
mental observation that those in the middle-income brackets
will be forced to pay more than 20 per cent Of their wages for
rent.
THIS is NOT 4 matter to be made a political football Of.
It IS serious. and all directly concerned should look into it. No
one wants or expects that there be any kind Of control what
ever over private enterprise, but on the other hand the several
enterprises must show the type Of responsible response to the
public need which would make unnecessary any type OF m,er
vention.
HOUSING IS extremely important, and very necessary,
and specially 50 il the middlcineome group. We welcome all
the housing that we can get, realizing that those who invest
large sums must be assured Of a fair return on their invest
Iment. The question Isl Can this be done while keeping the
rents down to the point where it can assure this fair return,
and yet be within the reach Of those in the middle-ncome

MIDDLE-INCOME HOUSING

MIDDLEINCOME HOUSING
IT'S % o to note that private business is interested in
developing idde-ncome housing for ST. Croix. Already plans
are afoot for the Burnett Towers in St. Thomas, part Of an over
all project financed BY Charles H Stately, Inc.
w THOUGHTS come to mind. First, the need for this
type Of housing, which has been neglected, so that the middle
income wage Garner is at aloss for adequate housing. The sec
ond point is the faith expressed through action in the future Of
these Islands economically.
1T HAS BEEN the contention in this corner all along that
housing is much to costly. Nor is there lack Of consideration for
the mual investment which goes into any venture. All that IS
considered. but real estate development is a longrange pro-
position, permitting for spreading profits over long time, and
giving the purchaser an opportunity to meet his obligations
more easily.
THE OTHER SIDE Of the coin is the renting public. But
more, these matters require study, and determinations which
relate directly and indirectly to the persons concerned and the
public in genera. The term @middle-ncome" may not be I'M
iversal term. What may be middleincomef for New York may
not be middleincone where the overall economy is on a lower
level SO that there ought not be an across the board appica-
ton.
IT'S GENERALLY conceded that middleincome includes
those who make between $500 and $4,000. In some lowin-
come housing situations, no tenant who makes above $1,000 is
eligible. OF course, other factors enter the picture, such as the
size Of the family and the like.
IN THESE ISLANDS the scale Of salaries should tell a
pretty convincing story. Not long ago, an employee who q
here from the mainland wrote that he found expenses 50 high
that he actually lost money IN accepting the position. The ave-
rage teachers salary is 5000, which is right on the borderline.
Would such an employee Be ready to pay $125 per month for
rent?
FURTHER SOME real estate people have indicated that
rent. should amount to between 20 and IS per cent Of the over
al income Of the wageearner. A $1,000 salary would call for
