Developing the Guidelines - The guidelines are based on ODFW district fish “The guidelines are based biologists’ recommendations.

  • 244. (3) the Early Bear River Fur Trade: Bear Lake and Cache Valley
    IDAHO STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY REFERENCE SERIES THE EARLY BEAR RIVER FUR TRADE: BEAR LAKE AND CACHE VALLEY Number 244 Revised 1985 Bear River was discovered September 9, 1812, by Robert Stuart's fur trade party on their way from Snake River in search of South Pass. They called it Miller's River for Joseph Miller, a member of their party who thought he had hunted farther up stream the preceding fall. But as they proceeded from Fish Creek to the bend of Bear River at Sheep Rock, Soda Springs, and finally past Bear Lake outlet to Thomas' Fork, Miller never did find his hunting ground. He had been nearby on the upper Blackfoot, not Bear River, and had confused the two adjacent valleys. Stuart's party did not stop to trap, facing a long, hard trip from Astoria to St. Louis, Stuart hastened on. He saw Bear Lake outlet, but if he or his men noticed the lake, he did not mention it. Finally in 1818, Donald Mackenzie brought a North West Company fur hunters' brigade to Bear Lake. Michel Bourdon, a French Canadian trapper with Mackenzie, descended Bear River through Gentile Valley to discover Cache Valley. There he trapped on Blacksmith's Fork, then known as Bourdon's River. Mackenzie spent a few weeks at Bear Lake in the summer of 1819, and Michel Bourdon or Finnan MacDonald may have returned with Hudson's Bay Company expeditions in 1822 or 1823; they headed that way but left no record of where they went. After William H. Ashley sent out a large group of mountain men from Saint Louis to join the Rocky Mountain fur trade, one of his parties crossed South Pass in the summer of 1824 to settle down for the winter on Cub River in Cache Valley.

For this study, it was necessary to isolate the impacts of climate change from other changes that may occur within the basin. Therefore, Reclamation has assumed that current water operations by all water management entities in the Columbia River Basin would continue unchanged in the future. This assessment does not consider any operational changes that may or may not be made by basin stakeholders in the future and does not reflect the position of any entity regarding future operational changes.

  • Field Trip Guide to the Upper Cretaceous Hornbrook Formation and Cenozoic Rocks of Southern Oregon and Northern California Field
    Field Trip Guide to the Upper Cretaceous Hornbrook Formation and Cenozoic Rocks of southern Oregon and northern California Students in SOU’s field geology course examining sandstones of the Rocky Gulch Member of the Hornbrook Formation near Hilt, California. Field Trip Leader: Bill Elliott Department of Geology, Southern Oregon University Saturday, September 8, 2007 Introduction The Klamath Mountains are an elongated north-trending geological province that occupies approximately 19,000 km2 in southwestern Oregon and northern California. The Klamath Mountains are made-up of numerous terranes that accreted during the Antler (Devonian), Sonoman (Permian to Late Triassic), and Nevadan (Jurassic to Early Cretaceous) orogenies (Mortimer, 1984). These terranes have been grouped into four metamorphic belts, from oldest (east) to youngest (west): Eastern Klamath Belt; Central Metamorphic; Western Paleozoic and Triassic; and Western Jurassic (Irwin, 1966; Irwin, 1994). In the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, numerous magma bodies intruded the Klamath Mountains, including the Jurassic Mt. Ashland pluton and Early Cretaceous Grants Pass pluton (Hotz 1971; Gribble et al., 1990). During the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, a subduction zone complex and forearc basin developed along the western margin of North America while folding and thrusting of Paleozoic and lower Mesozoic rocks associated with the Sevier orogeny triggered the formation of the Cordilleran foreland basin in the interior of North America (Figs. 1 and 2). The Hornbrook Formation (Upper Cretaceous) consists of a sequence of dominantly marine clastic sedimentary rocks about 1,200 meters thick exposed along the northeastern margin of the Klamath Mountains in southwestern Oregon to northern California (Fig.

  • Joseph Felix Larocque E
    Joseph Félix LaRocque LAROCQUE , JOSEPH (perhaps Joseph-Félix ), Hudson Bay Company chief trader; b. c. 1787; d. 1 Dec. 1866 at Ottawa, Canada West. Joseph Larocque, whose brother François-Antoine was also active in the fur trade, was the son of François-Antoine Larocque, member for the county of Leinster (L’Assomption) in the first parliament of Lower Canada, and Angélique Leroux, and may have been the child, baptized François, born 20 Sept. 1786 at L’Assomption, Province of Quebec. If this identification is accepted, Joseph would have been 15 years old when he was a clerk in the XY Company in 1801. At this time, the XY Company was challenging the dominance of the North West Company. When they settled their differences Joseph Larocque transferred to the NWC and was sent to serve on the upper Churchill (or English) River. He is known to have been at Lake La Ronge in 1804 and at Fort des Prairies in 1806. He was transferred to the Columbia River Department of the North West Company, but no details of his career are known until he appears in 1812 in the neighbourhood of Fort Kamloops (Kamloops, B.C.), among the Shuswap Indians. In 1813 he joined John George McTavish* in his descent of the Columbia River and take-over of Fort Astoria (Astoria, Oreg.) from the Pacific Fur Company. Larocque spent the next three years in the Columbia River Department, travelling much, often with dispatches, and managing posts among the Flatheads and at Okanagan, Fort Kamloops, or Spokane House, until in 1816 he returned over the mountains from Fort George (Astoria, Oreg.) to Fort William (Thunder Bay, Ont.), carrying dispatches.

  • Kanaka World Travelers and Fur Company Employees, 1785-1860
    Kanaka World Travelers and Fur Company Employees, 1785-1860 Janice K. Duncan Chinese, Japanese, and Negroes were not the only minority racial groups represented in the early history of Oregon Country (which included Oregon, Washington, parts of Idaho and Montana). Before approximately i860 many foreigners in the area were Hawaiian Islanders, called Sandwich Islanders, Owhyees and, most frequently, Kanakas. Hawaii was discovered in 1778 by Captain James Cook, who named the islands after his patron, the Earl of Sandwich. Within less than a decade after Cook's discovery the Islands had become a regular stop for merchant and whaling vessels needing fresh water and provisions, and many crew members remained in the newly discovered paradise.1 Cook's discovery also brought the natives of Hawaii a new outlet for their curiosity and for their excellent abilities on the sea. The ships that stopped in the Islands often were looking for additions to their crews, either as seamen or as personal servants for the officers or for the wives of merchant captains who often accompanied their husbands.2 In May 1787, the British ship Imperial Eagle took aboard an Hawaiian woman, to be the personal servant of the captain's wife, and she became the first recorded Islander to leave her homeland.3 In China the captain's wife decided to travel on to Europe, and Winee was left behind to return to the Islands. She found passage on the Nootka, then in the China Sea, and met an Hawaiian chief, Kaiona (Tianna), who had agreed to accom- pany John Meares aboard the Nootka when it left the Islands in August 1787.* There were two other Kanakas who boarded the Nootka with Winee.
