   European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 22, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Rare sight nowadays is one of Salmon desperately leaping Falls in Northwest. \ v 4c by Mike Doan a staff writer one of nature s most amazing Ritu Ais already gone forever in most of the United states has been drastic ally altered by the Northwest s Many dams. For thousands of centuries Salmon made their voyages up the nation s Rivers to Lay their eggs and die. But when Man built water wheels and dumped wastes into water the fish no longer were Able to swim in most East Ern american Rivers and they became practically extinct there. In the less populous Northwest Sal Mon still Are Able to Hatch in a Moun Tain Stream. Driven by some compel Ling Force they travel Down the Colum Bia River to the Ocean often 1,000 Miles away. The Salmon disappear into the vastness of the Pacific Ocean but Fror two to six Yean later in one of those mysteries the nature creates they reappear now Ful grown. Desperately compulsively at least 1.5 million fish fight their Way upstream each year always seeking the place they themselves were hatched. Biologists say they use a variety of senses to do so including navigation by the stars but they mostly use their sense of smell to find then place of  the female fish lays thousands of eggs. The male covers them with his sperm. Their Job done they wearily Start Back downstream. They do not Complete this journey. They die. But thousands of their offspring make the trip later. All Salmon were born this Way for thousands of years. But in the past 32 years 24 dams have been built on the Columbia and Snake Rivers two of the prime sources of Pacific Salmon. The result is that half of the water inthe Columbia system is no longer accessible to Salmon. More and More of them Are produced artificially in Hatch  the Early part of the Century the Atlantic Salmon dwindled and now the Only regular Salmon fishing in the East is done by sportsmen in some Rivers in Maine. Today most american Salmon comes from Rivers in Alaska washing ton Oregon California and Idaho. Some eggs have been placed in the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania and biologists have been trying to determine if the fish will return to their birthplaces after swimming to Salt water. Millions of dollars have been spent to preserve fish while Man builds dams and factories. There was even a taxi service at one dam in the Northwest. It picked up the fish and carried them by truck to another River. Despite the spending the Salmon run is getting smaller every year in Idaho even with hatcheries because of the dams.
