Benning, Georgia 31905 Father is Alvis Smith, Jr. Beaver works found in numerous Oregon rivers The stream I live by is now dry several months of the year. There is less water for irrigation and other uses than was available in my youth. My father watched steel head and salmon in season and caught trout almost daily eighty five years ago. I've pleasured, watered, planted, hayed and pas tured its valley since 1 was a youngster. Each year as the stream dwindled I hung my shirt at the head gate, tail dangling in the water. The beaver and I shared and protected our water needs the best we could. Since 1984 I've flown over a good share of Oregon's water sheds; looking to learn. The unexpected bonus has been the finding of hundreds of beaver works; in the coast range, along the Willamette, the Columbia, the John Day, Rock Creek and even at a spring in dry Eightmile Canyon next door to the Boardman desert. From Pacific Ocean bays and estuaries across Oregon to the Eagle Cap drainage in the Wal lowas we've found signs of my friend the beaver. Several sites we've revisited many times in the air and on the ground; always with a camera. In conversations with citizens, ranchers, Oregon Depart ment of Fish and Wildlife biolo gists and sportsmen IVe found almost universal 'yes-but' philoso phy about beavers. My conclusion is that very few have knowledge of the capability of this ingenious conservationist. Oregon's drain ages with steep watersheds and wet-winterdry-summer precipita tion pattern were once perfected in synergism with beaver works. Shouldn't we emulate the beaver and his capacity to hold water, raise and stabilize water tables and cool and release trickles and seeps into beaver-grown shade, beaver fenced riparian areas and beaver furnished rearing habitat.

Gabriel Franchere) Mari Sandoz, writing of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1 804,".. .more important to Jeffer son, as to all the nations that looked to America for profit, were the rivers and their beavers. Sandoz describes the Missouri of 1804: "Those out hunting - had seen much ancient beaver sign all the way up river, and many beaver meadows, where the trappers had left the dams deserted, to be swept ' out by floods."(Mari Sandoz, The Beaver Men) "...turn the region (south of the Columbia) into such a fur desert that American trappers would have no motive for visiting it. Ogden was dispatched immediate ly to conduct a fall and winter hunt so the best trapping season would not be lost."(Governor Simpson of Hudson's Bay Co. in the book History of Fort Vancouver by John A. Hussey) Peter Skene Ogden's trapping expeditions or brigades were ex tensive and started with the 1824 25 season and went on through five seasons. In his journals, he speaks with sorrow at the scorched-earth policy towards the beavers and the destroying of immature beaver. His brigades numbered from 30 to 80 men, their families, and three to four hundred horses, along with guides the total number amounted to more than "200 souls." They trapped up tributaries, over di vides, and down adjoining drain ages, fanning out and taking; effective like the drovers on rabbit drives a century later. January 14, 1826 from Ogden's journal of his sojourn up the main stem of the John day, "we found Snake (Indian) huts not long a bandoned... The, horses sink deep in mire all day.. .The road cannot be surpassed in badness." This ex cerpt shows that water storage in the riparian and meadow areas was effective and also that a route up the John Day was already in place. The wild horse herds were sig nificant in the watershed. An untouched beaver reach be came so rare that Ogden showed his excitement in a journal entry of 1829, "...A large stream appeared lined with willows. So glad was I to see it that at the risk of my life, over swamps, hills and rocks, I made all speed to reach it and the first thing I saw was a beaver house well stocked." The evidence is abun dant that the numbers of beaver in the northwest were far in excess of most of us to imagine. Starting about 1810 and com pleted by 1835, the natural stream buffers that protected downstream quality and quantity of water were totally disrupted with the annihi Uion of the beaver. The brigades, tribes and their horse herds established the trails and removed the broadtailed en- Sally Craig, senior staff accoun tant, cuts cake after the blessing of the building. ; r " I K- .r-.r , ,
