Prepared by the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, this document outlines a plan for the use of water and other physical resources of the Columbia River Basin. Presented in the report are descriptions of the basin's natural resources, its people, their use of the resources, as well as related investigations and summaries on affiliated problems and possibilities. As to use of physical resources, the principal emphasis is upon water utilization, for example the provisional use of water as required in the case of migratory fish, hydroelectric power production, and for navigation on the lower Snake and Columbia Rivers. This 1947 edition was issued in advance of its publication as a Congressional Document; it includes black and white photos, and numerous maps covering power facilities, developed and undeveloped land, and water resources.

It has been identified as Major Moorhouse's Indian exhibit, exterior, at Round-Up, 1913. American flags are mounted at intervals along the roof line of the wooden building. Flags and bunting draped across the top partially obscure painted words including agricultural society. Painted lower down on the wall one can see [fa]ir and [Rode]o Sept. 13th 1913. There are also posters or newspapers affixed above the entranceway and to its right. A sign saying Main Entrance has been put up over the doorway, partially obscuring the other posters. To the left of the door other signs have been posted that read Major Moorehouse's World Famous Indian Exhibit. Admission 25 cents. Two men stand in the shadow of the building on the sidewalk in front of the open doorway, wearing suits, hats, and ties. One of them may be Major Lee Moorhouse. To their right is a utility or flag pole. About ten feet above them a line with pennants is extended along the sidewalk. To their left are seven shuttered ticket offices and another, closed, door. There are piles of litter or leaves in the street.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Gull in flight Year: 1900 The next picture shows a western gull, one of the most graceful birds we have. While this is not a game bird, it is one of the loveliest and one that we all admire. It is a scavenger as well. If any of you have ever been to the coast in the springtime when the beach is covered with dead fish, you know that the gulls are doing a very good piece of work when they start to clean up the beaches. These birds are protected at all times on account of their scavenging ability and on account of their beauty. Our nation has taken this matter in hand, and we have now national migratory bird laws, which protect birds of all kinds. A law based on scientific information was one of the very first attempts to bring about the real law to protect the bird in exactly the right way. Following the example of the states in the formation of game refuges, we find now that the national government has taken up the matter and one of the first acts was to form all the national parks into national game refuges. In recent years a large number of tracts of land in the southern part of the United States have been set aside for this purpose because at these places the birds spend the winter. The United States has taken a particular interest in protection of birds during the winter season, for if they are all killed then there will be none to breed during the following summer. We all have a right to be proud of what our nation and state has done for the preservation of our wildlife. But it must be said that the chief stimulant for this work was the preservation of our game birds. The game birds form only a very small portion of the wildlife in this state. There are many other kinds that are just as important to us as are these. It is right that we should have a certain amount of hunting. It is a pleasure that a great many enjoy. But we should also properly understand their relation to our everyday life. In the field of agriculture they play a very important part. Some are destructive and do a great deal of harm, while others are beneficial in their habits. Were it not for birds, the lot of the farmer would be a hard one.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Copa De Oro Author: Hall, Bonnie Year: 1975 Eschsholtzia californica. California Poppy Here is perhaps the most celebrated West Coast wildflower. Called Copa de Oro by the earliest Hispanic inhabitants, this golden poppy once emblazoned such vast fields that its brilliant color was visible from sailing ships miles offshore -- a plausible basis for the early name La Tierra del Fuego, land of fire. Discouraged by grazing, agriculture, and development, it now blooms in lesser abundance, May-September, from Southern California north to the Columbia River, and elsewhere escaped from garden plantings. This marvelous perennial arises from a deep taproot and generally reaches two feet in height. The flowers are two to three inches across and vary from pale to deep yellow and orange. They are remarkably responsive to sunlight, closing at nightfall or in overcast weather. Sepals are united in a conical structure that is thrust off by the opening petals, much like doffing a little hat. The seed capsule is linear and tipped by the withering styles. The foliage is grayish-green and finely divided. E. Californica owes its introduction to the botanical world to three explorer naturalists and a coincident Russian. Archibald Menzies, Scottish botanist and surgeon with Captain George Vancouver, was first to collect specimens for transport to foreign shores, in Monterey in December if 1792. But his classification was incorrect, his collection suffered badly on shipboard, and the plants delivered to Kew Gardens soon died. Next was Adelbert van Chamisso, French naturalist with the Russian Romanoff expedition, spending October of 1816 at San Francisco. Here he collected, described, classified, and named Eschscholtzia californica after the ship's noble young surgeon, Johann Friedrich Escholtz. Finally, it came to David Douglas, Scottish botanist and practical gardener, to convey this vibrant poppy to the world. Collecting along the Multnomah (Willamette) River in 1825, he first encountered E. colifornica and sent back to the Horticultural Society of London the seeds that thrived in English gardens and beyond.
