Abstract

"Incidentally the State Fisheries people picked up two Wanapums last week for fishing at the Horn Dam, where they have always fished. The state is evidently moving in on all Indians. The late L. V. McWhorter obtained passage of a state law permitting these people to fish at the Horn Dam. The Yakimas never used it. It was Wanapum territory. Then about two or three years ago, someone had this and several other Indian fishing bills killed, by number, without letting anyone know that it was being done."
