Halloween Parties Well-Attende- Curry As an aftermath of the controversy between the tribe and the state over the management of the deer herds on the reservation, the Ute Indian Tribe will be meeting with officials of the Secretary of the Interior on Nov. 20, in Denver, Colo. During the meeting several problems will be discussed with the officials of the Interior Department, some relative to the hunting problems and some relative to the water rights and related resources. The jurisdictional problem relative to hunting and fishing, the prosecution of offenders and trespass on tribal lands will be discussed. Next years hunting program will be determined somewhat by the outcome of these meetings with the Department of Interior. At the present time the phea- sant season has been cancelled by the Ute Tribe for the first time in many years and the Tribal Department of Fish and Game is increasing its activities to In- tensive posting of Indian lands to elimi- nate trespass and hunting on Indian lands. The intensive posting program is taking place by the conservation officers of the Fish and Game Department so the public will be warned of those lands belonging to the tribe and its members. Lessees of Indian land are also being requested to cooperate in this matter in making sure the Indian lands are posted against trespass. non-Indi- an d We were pleased to note the fine attendance and good response to the Halloween parties at Whiterocks and Randlett. All the ghosts, goblins and assorted monsters came out and had a good time. We are still looking for a little square piece of paper at Randlett. Maybe someone will find it during the basketball season. Christmas We hope you will make your Christmas plans early this year and we offer the opportunity to order toys and games at a savings over normal prices. Please contact your community worker or the recreation department. i v' Ute Tribe Game Management Proven Sound by Statistics By Rex Tourney in New Center snow began falling the second in camp at NuTuveep, five hunters day had bagged their deer and headed home with Wallace Tabbee and Charlie Cuch guiding them out.

Although I knew the party had enough coal and food for two more days," Frank Arrowchls, manager of Ute Trails and Rivers stated, I wanted to get the men out of there before the other forecasted snow storm moved in. When visiting with BIA superintendent Bill Streltz later that evening, Mr. Sloan praised the Ute Trails and Rivers, the BIA and Hill Air Force Base for the way the rescue mission was handled. An old friend of the Utes, Sloan is affiliated with the National Rifle Association of America as a field representative in Redwood, Calif. He has hunted on the U & O Reservation nearly every year since the early 50 s when Wallace Tabbee served as his first guide. Hunting gear and the game bagged by the snowbound party was taken out of camp a few days later when the heavy equipment did break trail. The whole experience proved to the hunters, most of them business executives from metropolitan areas, that they had finally found that secluded area had been and for they looking they will be back next year to get away from it all. eer eer TURKEY SHOOT 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov.
