Abstract
Thanks sent to Robert J. Schoettler, director of the Department of Fisheries, and notification of when fishing will start, which depends upon the ripening of the roots, and who will be participating. The Wanapums understand that the fish that they have been allowed to catch are for their religious ceremonies, only, and are not to be sold, but Relander says they have never really sold fish. Two of the Tomalwash's are possibly members of the Yakima Indians, as they may have recently enrolled, and if so, will not fish. Puck Hyah Toot, who was born in 1878 likely will not, either. An invitation to attend is repeated.
