From Stephen, at the very top of "The Big Hill", to Golden, 38 miles to the west, this turbulent stream races through canyons and gorges to join the Columbia River more than half a mile lower. Magnificent peaks, glaciers, the lovely Yoho Valley, and the world-famous Spiral Tunnels are amongst the scenic wonders of the Kicking Horse Pass visible from Canadian Pacific transcontinental trains. The horse? A pack animal of the party of engineers who surveyed the line. He kicked a surveyor into the river. History recalls the horse, but has forgotten the name of the victim who scrambled up the bank, dripping wet, and named the river..

MARTS** The Skagit-High Ross Controversy: Negotiation and Settlement SETTING AND BACKGROUND The Skagit River is a short but powerful stream which rises in the mountains of southwestern British Columbia, cuts through the northern Cascades in a spectacular and once-remote mountain gorge, and empties into Puget Sound approximately sixty miles north of Seattle. The beautiful mountain scenery of the heavily glaciated north Cascades was formally recognized in the United States by the creation of the North Cascades National Park and the Ross Lake National Recreation Area in 1968, and earlier in British Columbia by creation of the E.C. Manning Provincial Park. The Ross Lake Recreation Area covers the narrow valley of the upper Skagit River in Washington and portions of several tributary valleys. It was created as a political and, to environmentalists who wanted national park status for the entire area, controversial, compromise which accom- modated the city of Seattle's Skagit River Project and the then-planned North Cascades Highway.

Overview of Wheat Movement on the Columbia River Report Prepared August 17, 2016 All Data Based on Five Year Averages (2011-2015)
Overview of Wheat Movement on the Columbia River Report Prepared August 17, 2016 All data based on five year averages (2011-2015) The Columbia-Snake River grain handling system includes: o 7 grain export terminals. o 26 up-country grain barge loading terminals along 360 miles of navigable river. o Eight dams that lift a barges a combined 735 feet. o 80 barges controlled by two companies (Shaver and Tidewater). The seven export terminals on the Columbia River annually export 26.5 MMT of grain, including 11.7 MMT of wheat. This makes the Columbia River the third largest grain export corridor in the world behind the Mississippi River and the Parana River in South America. Grain exports from the Columbia River continue to grow each year. Every year approximately 4.0 MMT of wheat, largely Soft White, is shipped down the Columbia River via barge from the states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. This is equivalent to: o 34% of all wheat exports from the Columbia River. o 15% of all grain exports from the Columbia River. o 15% of all wheat exported from the United States. o 70% of all wheat exported from the Pacific Northwest. o 50% of all wheat produced in the Pacific Northwest. The wheat moved by barge is largely sourced from the upper river system. o 18% from between Bonneville Dam and McNary Dam. o 36% from between McNary Dam and Lower Monumental Dam. o 46% from between Lower Monumental Dam and Lewiston, Idaho. o 54% of the wheat moved by barge moves through one or more of the four Lower Snake River dams.

Columbia River Treaty Review the Idaho Position This Position
Columbia River Treaty Review The Idaho Position This position Statement outlines the current position of a broad range of Idaho stakeholders (identified below and collectively referred to as “Idaho Stakeholders”) on the efforts to modernize the Columbia River Treaty (“CRT”) with Canada. I. Hydropower: The CRT provides for an “entitlement” for power benefits derived from the agreement. See CRT Article V.1 (“Canada is entitled to one half the downstream power benefits determined under Article VII”). The entitlement is determined as “the difference in the hydroelectric power capable of being generated in the United States of America with and without the use of Canadian storage, determined in advance, and is referred to in the Treaty as the downstream power benefits.” CRT Article VII; see also CRT Annex B ¶ 1 (“The downstream power benefits in the United States of America attributable to operation in accordance with Annex A of the storage provided by Canada under Article II will be determined in advance and will be the estimated increase in dependable hydroelectric capacity in kilowatts for agreed critical stream flow periods and the increase in average annual usable hydroelectric energy output in kilowatt hours on the basis of an agreed period of stream flow record”). Over time, this “Canadian Entitlement” has proven to greatly exceed the actual benefits. Discontinuation of the Canadian Entitlement would result “in an overall increase in annual revenue for the United States (about $180 million to $280 million).”1 As explained in the Regional Recommendation, at page 4, “rebalancing is necessary because the present Treaty power benefits are not equitably shared and Canada is deriving substantially greater value from coordinated power operations than the United States.” Idaho Stakeholders take the following position on Hydropower: 1.

The Amazing Journey of Columbia River Salmon the Columbia River Basin
BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION THE AMAZING JOURNEY OF Columbia River Salmon THE Columbia River Basin The Columbia River starts in Canada and flows through Washington. Then it flows along the Oregon and Washington border and into the Pacific Ocean. Other major rivers empty into the Columbia River. Smaller rivers and streams flow down from the mountains and into those rivers. This entire network of streams and rivers is called the Columbia River Basin. Salmon are born in many of these streams and rivers. They meet up with salmon from other places in the basin as they enter the Columbia River on their amazing journey to the ocean. This map shows the journey of the spring chinook that come from the Snake River in Idaho. Other spring chinook come from streams in Washington and Oregon. mbia lu o C MT N WA ake Sn Columb ia S n a k e OR ID Snak e CA NV LIFE CYCLE OF THE Columbia River Salmon RENEWING THE CYCLE 10 WAITING 1 TO HatCH RETURNING TO SPawNING 9 GROUNDS LEARNING 2 TO SURVIVE CLIMBING FISH 8 LADDERS LEAVING 3 HOME SWIMMING UPSTREAM 7 RIDING TO 4 THE SEA LIVING IN THE OCEAN 6 ENTERING 5 THE ESTUARY 1 ALEVIN REDD YOLK SAC FOUR MONTHS 1 Waiting to hatch Five thousand tiny red eggs lie hidden in a nest of stones Spring approaches, and the salmon slip out of their high in Northwest mountains.

DOMINION PARKS BRANCH, OTTAWA, September 30, 1913. W. W. CORY, Esq., C.M.G., Deputy Minister of the Interior. SIR,—I beg to submit my second annual report as Commissioner of Dominion Parks, covering the fiscal year 1912-13. Appended to it are reports from the Chief Superintendent of Dominion Parks and from the Superintendents of the various Parks. These reports show in detail the substantial progress made during the year in the matter of development work. My own report, therefore, is confined largely to a statement concerning the purposes served by National Parks and the useful develop ment work that such purposes suggest. CANADA'S PARKS. Extract from an address delivered at Ottawa. March 12, 1913, by His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught, before the Canadian Association for the Pre vention of Tuberculosis:— ' I feel that some apology is necessary for referring to the subject on which I now desire to touch, but the fact that this is the last onuortunity I shall have for public speaking before I go to England on leave must be my excuse. Also, the subject is allied with public health, which is one more reason for me to request your indulgence. ' I desire to refer shortly to the question of your Dominion Parks.
