Show I THE LONGEST WALK Members of the Longest Walk crossed through Millard County this week. The group, in excess of 100, is part of the National Indian Coalition formed in an attempt to stop pending legislation which they feel is detrimental, if not fatal, to their way of life. They left Sacramento, California February 11 and hope that their 3,000 mile walk to Washington, D.C. will attract enough attention and support to kill the bills. They left Sacramento in rain and encountered much cold and snow in s Pass. They hope after they cross through Colorado all the bad weather will be behind them according to Henry Dominguez, Apache from Arizona. They have averaged 60 miles a day and went 91 miles in 26 hours at one point. According to Max Bear, Sioux from Pine Ridge, S.D., one of the organizers of the march, the only good thing about the 11 bills they oppose is they have united the Indian people of all tribes in a common cause. He said the walk is not a protest march, but rather a spiritual march. They are marching under the guidance of many spiritual leaders and carry with them a sacred pipe. The walkers crossed from Nevada into Utah about noon Saturday where they were welcomed by Henry Tyler, spiritual leader from Salt Lake. Gilbert Frazer, of Feather Films, Harry Hill, and other Utah Indians. Mr. Tyler and Mr. Hill are at present setting up sweat lodges in Richfield w here they plan to rest up for four days and participate in their religious sweat ceremonies before starting across -0 to Green Included in this would also be the termination of reservations. The reason for this the group felt is to of the nations coal, get the 35 oil, and gas, which is on reservations, out of the hands of the tribes and into the hands of the federal government. Other bills of concern would affect .water rights, hunting rights, fishing rights (which are not only a livelihood, but matters of survival for some tribes), and legal jurisdiction on the reservations. All of the bills they felt would in some way endanger Indian heritage. culture, and what few ties they have with their ancestors. This is another forced walk for the Indians," they said. The other walks were at gunpoint, but we feel just as forced to make this Don-ner- The LDS Church then presented a program to the walkers. Tuesday morning the walkers were again on the road with plans to go straight through to Richfield by way of Holden, Scipio, and Salina. Bob Tissychy, Commanche from Oklahoma, said that no drinking or drugs are allowed on the walk, and anyone participating in cither have been asked to leave the walk.

Ving Commander reviews CAPs Fillmore Flight Marge Barton Staff Correspondent By Governor Scott M. Matheson w as last Wednesday to speak at the annual Millard County Farm Bureau banquet. The Governor spoke at length on the two projects uppermost in the minds of those who live in Millard County: CUP and IPP. "The recent drought has increased the need to move faster on the Central Utah Project," he emphasized. The Carter budget only calls for spending $37'j million this year and we need $52 million, he said, and explained that we need to keep the yearly funding of this project up because, if not, inflation will prevent the project from ever being completed. The Governor told the audience that we would soon have a decision on the Intefmountain Power Project. probably in a few days, from Cecil Andrus. Secretary of the Interior. He said Sec. Andrus had decided against both the Salt Wash and Hanksville sites in Wayne County and would "probably come out in favor of the Lynndyl site." A big problem would be in supplying coal to Lynndyl as it would have to come from some distance away, probably Carbon and Emery Counties. He explained the IPP project would use 45 thousand acre feet of water per year and that "IPP wants to do it with your He said. support and blessing. "You will have to look at the question of do you want to remove acres from production for this project." In other issues the Governor announced that the Brand Inspection Act passed in the Legislature and the Removal of Personal Property Tax on Cattle did not pass. He also stated he w as opposed to an increase in grazing fees. in Fillmore IPP "IPP has agreed to begin Scoping and Planning for a site area near Lynndyl. Millard County, Utah, Joe Fackrell, IPP resident announced Tuesday. "This action means that cost information for the Lynndyl site will take place, but does not constitute a committment to study the Lynndyl site as an alternative to the Salt Wash site in Wayne County," Fackrell said.

"If studies are conducted at Lynndyl in the future they will be done only as an alternative to the Salt Wash proposal, which will continue to be our primary and preferred application," Fackrell said. The Lynndyl site was one of two recommended for further study by the Utah State Interagency Task Force for Power Plant siting as alternatives to the Salt Wash Site. IPP is being proposed by 29 Utah Municipalities and rural electric corporations and six California Cities. Power from IPP would be available to any Utah electric utility. Colonel Harold Hilburn.
