Report: Klamath fish need more water
(AP) — Conservation groups
seeking removal o r four aging
Kiamath River dams near the
California border welcomed a
report Wednesday by the Na
tional Research Council con
firming studies indicating that
salmon and other fish need
more water.
“This report is a major vic
tory for salmon, commercial
fishermen, Native Americans,,
and everyone else who careè
about the health of the Klamath
River;,” said Steve Pedery con
servation director for Oregon
Wild, based in Portland, '
The report comes as federal
agencies prepare a new evalua
tion of salmon and endangered
stocks o f'th e Klamath fish
known as suckers, as interest
groups try to negotiate a settle
ment of water issues, and as fed
eral regulators decide the fate of
the four dams on the river,
which runs through Southern
Oregon and Northern Califor
nia.
The battle oyer water man
agement in the high desert ba
sin has pitted farmers and irri
gators against Indian tribes, fish
er rnen and environmental
groups.
A leader of the NatiQUaJ Re
search Council study; § aid it
agreed with recommendations
from Utah State University re
searchers led by Thomas Hardy
that more water would help in
crease salmon runs.
“That .conclusion is based
partly on _ frankly _ scientific
judgment,” said William Graf, a
Univefsiiy or South Carolina
geography professor and chair
man of the committee of sci
entists who wrote the report re
leased Wednesday. “But it's also
based on more data that's be
come available in the last, say,
two to four years.” ;
r The council, the research arm
of the National Academy of
Sciences, reviewed two separate
water studies on the Klamath
River Basin.
! One study was the Utah State
study, on the lower part of the
river. The other was by the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation, on the
upper reach.
Decline in Chinook salmon concerns biologists
MERCED, Calif. (AP) _ Bi
ologists are concerned by a rapid
decline in the number of Chi
nook salmon spawning in the
Merced, Tuolumne and
Stanislaus rivers this year.
The California Department
of Fish and Game expects fewer
than 500 salmon, will spawn in
the Merced River this year,
down from 1,200 last year. \
. Chinook salmon typically
spend several years in the ocean
before returning to inland
streams and rivers to spawn.
One biologist with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service said this
year's low fish count could spell
crisis for the population.
Scientists are exploring how
loss of habitat, murky water
conditiorisTiow water flows, high
temperatures and toxic algae are
affecting the species.

(AR)t - Two Lake Oswego
men are making another run at
a statewide vote On a private
commercial casino.
Investment adviser Bruce
Studer and attorney Matt
Rossman want to put a casino
ind resort at the Multnomah
Kennel Club, a former grey
hound track in Wood Village
near Gresham.

tiatives on the ballot to allow the
casino but ran out of time to
gather signatures.
They , filed three prospective
initiatives last week with the
Oregon secretary of state's of
fice for next year's election.

quarter of the adjusted gross
revenue to the state for educa
tion and children's health care.

operated by or for Indian tribes.
To get an initiative on the
ballot to change state law re
quires 6 percent of the 2006
total vote for governor, or
82,769 signatures, by early July .
To get a constitutional
amendment on the ballot re
quires 8 percent, or 110,358 sig
natures.
The secretary of state's of
fice has to approve the petitions
before signatures can be gath
ered.
