THE TRUE STORY OF THE HELLGATE TREATY COUNCIL July 16th will mark the 120th anniversary of the signing of the Hellgate Treaty between the Salish, Pend'd Orielle and Kootenai nations, and the United States. The treaty council, which began July 9,1855, involved seven days of hard bargaining before an agreement could be reached. The final 12 articles of agreement between the U. S. and the tribes were transcribed in English from interpretations of the negotiations by recorder James Doty. Doty's notes on the conference show that there was considerable disagreement and some bitter- ness between the head chiefs of the tribes over the issue of land cession and the location of a final reservation. The minutes of the conference also indicate that some difference of opinion existed between the chief's interpretation of the final reservation provision and what was stated in Article XII by Stevens. The "clincher" article in the treaty, which caused most of the heat during that long week on the Clark Fork River west of Missoula, states that: "It is more-over provided that the Bitterroot Val- ley above the (Lolo) Fork shall be carefully surveyed and examined, and if it shall prove in the judgement of the President (of the U.S.) to be better adopted to the wants of the Flathead Tribe than the general reservation (Flathead Reservation) provided for in this Treaty, then such portions of it as many be necessary shall be set apart as a separate Reservation for the said tribe. No portion of the Bitterroot Valley above the Lolo Fork shall be opened to settlement until such examination is made and the decision of the President made TROUBLED RESERVATION WATERS PESTICIDES FOUND IN JOCKO FISH St.Ignatius: Sizable levels of pesticides have been found in trout eggs from the Jocko River drainage, according to the Indian Health Service in St. Ignatius. Bill Durgeloh, an IHS sanitarian, said that trout from a Jocko river fed pond contained traces of DDE and DDD...both breakdown elements of DDT. Durgeloh said the pesticides were discovered by the Denver Wildlife Research Center of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in samples sent by the St. Ignatius IHS center. The analysis showed that eggs from three rainbow trout JOCKO FISH (Turn to page 3) BIA IRRIGATION CLEARS USE OF XYLENE ON RESERVATION Dixon: The BIA Area Irrigation Office has completed a 60-odd page environmental impact assessment which claims that the deadly poison exylene will not "significantly" harm reservation fish and wildlife. But the Tribal Council does not agree with these findings and will seek an independent examination of the document The issue is whether or not the Flathead Irrigation Program (FIP), which is administered by Area BIA Irrigation, should be allowed to use the fish and water life killing herbicide in canals and ditches on the reservation. FIP has been using Xylene for the past several years to rid waterways of moss and algea. The poison was responsible for the July, 1973 fish kill in the Ravalli "J" Canal and "probable" damage to the lower Jocko River and the Flathead River. The poison was used again in 1974 and the environmental assessment opens the way for its continued use on the reservation. Councilman Tom "Bear-head" Swaney, St. Ignatius, called the assessment a "whitewash" during a meeting June 20. He said that Area Irrigation could not be trusted to protect tribal hunting and fishing treaty rights because of "a conflict of interest" in matters involving the admin-XYLENE (See page 13) known". In a letter drafted the same day as the treaty was signed, Stevens explains the unusual treaty provision to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs: "Much difficulty was experienced in bringing the Tribes on to one Reservation in | consequence of the dislike of ! the Flatheads to Mission (St. Ignatius) establishments. Victor finally made a proposition ¦ in council today, which I j accepted, providing for the survey of the Bitterroot Valley above the Lolo Fork, and TREATY (Cont. on page 7) TRIBE BUYS JOCKO LAND Arlee: A critical tract of land on the upper Jocko... the beautiful Eva Paul allotment...will become tribal land July 15. The 454 acres of rolling foothills along the lower northfork has long been regarded as a key tract in the Jocko prairie area. The Tribal Council has been negotiating for the recovery of the land for several years. During a meeting with a-gent Ralph Cross, May 20, the council agreed to buy the land for $185,000. The price comes to $407.49 per acre. Final transfer of the land was delayed pending a review of the title to assure that ownership entanglements would not interfere with placing the land into trust status for the tribe. The title was cleared late last month paving the way for tribal ownership. It had been feared that real estate interests could develop the land into a subdivision. This would have placed as many as 22 residents on the upper Jocko and could have affected the water quality and game management of the area.

Six Questions on the Latest Fannie, Freddie Overhaul Proposal
A bipartisan group of former senators and housing secretaries unveiled on Monday a comprehensive proposal in a bid to jump-start the stalled debate over what to do with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Here's a look at some of the most frequently asked questions on the report from the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington think tank:
What does the report propose? The BPC's housing commission calls for the government to wind down Fannie and Freddie within five to 10 years and replace them with a new infrastructure that would provide explicit government insurance on mortgage-backed securities, but only if private insurance providers are wiped out first. Fannie and Freddie issued mortgage-backed securities and investors bought them on the assumption that there was a fuzzy "implied" guarantee that would lead the government to rescue the firms if they got into trouble, which is exactly what happened in 2008.
Why does the BPC think that the government needs to guarantee mortgage-backed securities? At the heart of the commission's report is the conclusion that the U.S. mortgage market should continue to offer access to low-cost, 30-year fixed-rate mortgages and that the government will need to play some market backstop in order to attract the capital needed to fund those loans. (Only one other country, Denmark, offers the product widely).
Banks don't hold onto many of those mortgages and haven't for decades. Instead, over the last 30 years, Fannie and Freddie, along with private banks, bundled those loans together and sold them off to investors as securities. Fannie and Freddie developed deep, liquid markets for buying and selling mortgage-backed securities, attracting capital from pension and mutual funds and foreign investors that wouldn't otherwise invest in U.S. mortgages.
It's been 4½ years since Fannie and Freddie were rescued by the Treasury Department. Why hasn't the White House or Congress dealt with them? The Obama administration issued three broad options for what might happen to Fannie and Freddie two years ago, but has said little since. Conservative Republicans have argued strongly against continued government guarantees, though they have made equally little headway in producing a detailed plan. One reason for the reluctance on both sides: almost any proposal to overhaul the nation's $10 trillion mortgage market includes unpopular steps—either limiting access to credit, raising costs, or putting some risk on taxpayers, and often a mix of all three.
There have been other housing-finance reform proposals before that have made similar recommendations. What's different about this one? One reason the BPC report is garnering more attention is, in part, because the debate over what to do has stalled out. The commission's co-chairs said Monday that one hope is that their recommendations force the issue back onto the agenda in Washington and encourage a more thoughtful discussion about how to move forward.
One sign that may be happening: Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.) put out a statement on Monday saying the report "appears to be headed in the right direction." Mr. Corker could be a key Republican dealmaker whenever the Senate takes up any housing-finance overhaul.
Who supports the proposal's recommendations? The real-estate industry, including mortgage bankers and Realtors, generally gave the report a warm reception because it commits to maintaining some type of federal safety net for mortgage markets.
What objections are being raised? The report doesn't spell out where the capital would come from to build the new mortgage market. It doesn't say how the existing infrastructure of Fannie and Freddie might be used to create the new market, and how or if the U.S. is to recover the nearly $190 billion investment it has in the two companies (after counting dividends that have been paid to the Treasury, the total cost of the rescues are closer to $137 billion). Those concerns, of course, could be addressed later.
But there are bigger reservations that any plan structured similar to the BPC proposal will have to contend with: Can a government regulator appropriately determine how to price the cost of the new insurance that the government would provide? The report estimates that mortgage rates might need to rise by another 0.25 percentage points to ensure that the government would be protected against losses.
Another worry: private lenders will be incentivized to sell off the riskiest loans that they're able to fit within the guidelines for any federal backing. "That's what they did with the ratings agencies during the bubble: 'How much can we get away with and still get a triple-A [rating]?'" said Thomas Lawler, a former economist at Fannie Mae.

Baptism (Grandma's Brag Book)
Everything went well until it was actually time for Gavin to be baptized. He decided to pooh his diaper right before heading up to the altar and he started screaming as Father dipped his head in the holy water and continued to scream throughout all the other babies baptisms. Of course, everyone in the congregation was chuckling at his wailing but I could tell that my son was sweating bullets. Welcome to the family of God Gavin!
The lovely family:
The Godparents:
And last but certainly not least, Grandma:
