Photos show rivers the way they used to be More than 300 historic pho tographs of the Willamette River basin, taken from 1934 to 1945, compiled by Oregon State University, are available online. The photograph collec tion is part of a comprehensive fish habitat survey. Some of the pictures are of the Clackamas River, and show migrating salmon and lamprey. The photo project is part of the university library's effort at making important research ma terial more widely available through digital technology. The Willamette Basin Stream Survey Photo Collection offers research ers and interested members of the public a glimpse of a signifi cant body of work by a largely unrecognized group of scien tists. The photos were part of a larger survey of the Columbia River basin, coordinated by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Fisher ies. That full survey covered more than 6,200 kilometers of the Columbia basin in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, and de tailed conditions in nearly 400 streams that served as spawn ing and rearing habitat for Chi nook salmon. Between 1948 and 1950, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published seven reports summa rizing the data, and for some 40 years those summaries served as the only record of the mas sive undertaking. In 1987, however, scientist James R. Sedell and other re searchers in the U.S. Forest Sservice's Pacific Northwest Research Station on the OSU campus located the documents. Sedell and others have since made the survey available in digital form and compared it with more recent surveys. Last year Sedell donated the documents from the survey -including photographs, field notes, survey data and reports - to the university library at OSU, where they are maintained in the archives. "The images are important because they show us what the Willamette River looked like 60 years ago," said Larry Landis, university archivist. "You can see how the river is similar, or different, depending on the lo cation."

From the forging of their relationship through this project, the city of Selah went on to press Yakima County to form a lead entity with other valley cities and the county in order to obtain state salmon restoration funds. Though the road to recovery was rocky, Selah officials persevered in their belief; their efforts resulted in the Wash ington Department of Fish and Wildlife calling together a summit for the entire basin that led to the formation of the Yakima Basin Salmon Recovery Entity. Next, the Regional Citizens Forum for Fish and Economy received the Private Partnership Award. This goes to a busi ness that has developed rich partnerships in the pursuit of salmon restoration. Restoring, rebuilding and protecting the salmon of the Columbia River Basin is, perhaps, the most controversial is sue of the Columbia Basin, because of the number and strength of the river's many stakeholders, said Patt. When the stakeholders dig in their heels over the issues, nothing much is accomplished, he said. When they collabo rate and cooperate, as in the Umatilla Basin, amazing things happen. Antone Minthorn and N. Kathryn "Kat" Brigham of the Confederated Tribes of Umatilla, along with Lynn Chamberlain of the Oregon Wheatgrowers Association and Bruce Buckmaster of BioOregon of Astoria, formed the Regional Forum for Fish and Economy. Since the publication of their white paper on the use of artificial production a year ago, a new consensus has emerged on the use of hatcheries, and their future efforts are ex pected to be just as fruitful, said Patt. Earth Justice Legal Defense Fund received the Conserva tion Advocacy Award. This goes to an advocacy organization that has best focused its resources on behalf of salmon. Earth Justice Legal Defense Fund, represented by Todd True and Steve Mashuda, has advocated for reform of the Federal Columbia River Power System for a decade. It has actively litigated to protect salmon habitat on public lands, and has sought enforcement of the aquatic conservation strat egy of the Northwest Forest Plan. In a recent case, US. Dis trict Judge James A. Redden accepted the Earth Justice argu ment that provisions of the National Marine Fisheries Service's biological opinion were not supported by an adequate com mitment of resources, and he invalidated NMFS's rule. Tim Watters, of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, received the Jammin' Volunteer Award, which goes to an individual who embodies the volunteer spirit necessary for restoring salmon. During Spirit of the Salmon's last two waterfront events -Jammin' for Salmon and Wy-Kan-Ush-Pum - Tim Watters worked from dawn to dusk. Nora Mead Brownell, commissioner on the Federal En ergy Regulatory Commission (FERC) received the Leader ship Award. This goes to an individual who, like the salmon, relies upon his or her instincts to make progress in recover ing the species while brushing past the obstacles that would bar the way to one less bold. Brownell was recognized by the Spirit of the Salmon board for her interest in the tribal perspective on the impacts of hydro development on tribal resources, and her willingness to meet with tribal members, in their territories, to hear their views.
