II Duties of Officers. (a.) The chairman shall preside at the meetings and shall certify to the decisions of the Board. He shall appoint all committees not specially named by the Board. In his absence the Board shall have power to elect a temporary chairman. (b.) The secretary shall keep minutes of the proceedings of the Board and shall record the decisions rendered, or other action of the Board upon cases submitted to it, with reference to the papers filed in each case. He shall maintain files of the origi- nal papers, or copies of them, that may be presented in each case, conveniently arranged for reference. He shall, under the instructions of the Board, conduct the general correspondence and shall receive communications presented for the considera- tion of the Board. (c.) The executive committee shall receive through the secretary all communica- tions requiring decision by the Board, shall investigate the Questions presented, an<i after securing information from all available sources, shall report to the Board with recommendations regarding them. (d.) Before dealing with any name within a province represented upon the Board, such name shall be submitted to the representative of said province 'for examination and report. (e.) Upon the receipt of a communication submitting place-names for the con- sideration of the Board, it shall be the duty of the secretary, after preliminary sub- mission to the executive committee, to "transmit at once a copy of such communica- tion, together with any papers relating thereto, to the member of the Board for the provinve affected, and also, in the case of coast names appearing on admiralty charts, to the hydrographer of the admiralty. (/) So soon as the report of the provincial representative, and in the case of chart names, the report of the hydroprapher. are received, the secretary shall immediately submit the whole correspondence to the executive committee who shall promptly pre- pare the names for submission to the Board. (g). The secretary shall enter upon every record submitted for the consideration of the Board, the recommendation of the provincial representative, and, if any, the recommendation of the hydrographer. HI Meetings. The Board shall hold regular meetings on the first Tuesday in each month. Special meetings may be called by the chairman or by the executive committee. Five members of the Board shall constitute a quorum, but on the written request of any member, filed with the secretary of the Board within a month from the date of a meeting, any decision adopted at such meeting shall be reserved for approval by a 7 —— 8 DEPARTMENT OF 11ARIXE AX D FISHERIES 3 GEORGE V., A. 1913 majority of the full Board. The affirmative vote of a majority of all the members of the full Board shall be required for the final decision in any case. All motions presented for the consideration of the Board shall be submitted in writing. IV Reports. The Board shall publish its decisions on geographic names, after each meeting, in the Canada Gazette and in bulletins, the same to be consolidated in a general report of the Board's work, to be issued after the 30th of June in each year. V Amendment. These by-laws may be amended at any regular or special meeting, by a majority vote of all the members of the Board, provided that copies of the proposed amend- ment have been sent by the secretary to the members of the board at least twenty days previous to the time the vote is taken. GEOGRAPHIC BOARD OF CANADA 9 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21a EULES OF NOMENCLATURE. 1. When the priority of a name has been established by publication particularly when such publication has occurred in any standard or authoritative work or works, that name should, if possible, be retained. 2. When names have been changed or corrected, if not too firmly established by local usage or otherwise, the original forms should be restored. 3. In cases where what was evidently originally the same word, appears with various spellings sanctioned by local usage or otherwise, these various spellings when applied to different features should be regarded as in effect different names, and as a rule it is inadvisable to attempt to produce uniformity. 4. As a rule the first published name should be retained, but where a choice is offered between two or more names for the same place or locality, all sanctioned by local usage, that which is most appropriate and euphonious should be adopted. 5. The possessive form should be avoided whenever it can be done without destroy- ing the euphony of the name or changing its descriptive application. Where the pos- sessive form is retained, the apostrophe should be dropped. 6. It is desirable to avoid the use of hyphens to connect parts of Indian names. 7. Names consisting of more than one word may be connected by hyphens or combined in one word as may be advisable. 8. It is desirable to avoid the use of the words city and town as parts of names. 1 ' 9. The form canyon ' may be used instead of canon,' but the latter is prefer- able.

Connect With Nature K. Smtih K. Smtih OUR STORY During a celebrated expedition to explore the West, Dr. James Hector travelled ahead of the group, and became the rst European to discover a steep mountain pass in 1858. After the surgeon’s trusty steed knocked him over with a blow to the chest, the spectacular route was dubbed Kicking Horse Pass. Later, the Canadian Pacic Railway, whose transcontinental route travelled through the pass, set up restaurants at the base of Mount Stephen to avoid pushing heavy dining cars up the mountain. This laid the groundwork for creating the Mount Stephen Reserve, renamed in 1901 as Yoho National Park. Eight years later, a visiting scientist, Dr. Charles Doolittle Walcott, discovered the Burgess Shale fossils on Mount Wapta. These exquisitely preserved marine organisms offer a glimpse back more than 505 million years ago. With fossils designated as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 36 peaks soaring above 3 000 m, the rambunctious Kicking Horse River and numerous breathtaking waterfalls, it is no surprise Yoho was named after a Cree expression meaning “awe and wonder.” A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE Four of the mountain national parks—Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Kootenay—are recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientic and Cultural Organization as part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, for the benet and enjoyment of all nations. Among the attributes that warranted this designation were vast wilderness, diversity of ora and fauna, outstanding natural beauty and features such as Lake Louise, Maligne Lake, the Columbia Iceeld and the Burgess Shale.

Fisheries personnel in Whitehorse, Vancouver and Ottawa were most helpful and we would especially like to thank Michael Hunter, Gordon Zealand, Sandy Johnston, Peter Etherton, Elmer Fast, Tim Young, Obert Sweitzer, and Ciunius Boyle. The help and patience of personnel from the Yukon Archives, Hudson's Bay Arohives, and Publio Archives of Canada, partioularly Bob Armstrong, the arohivist in charge of Fisheries documents, is gratefully acknowledged. Interviews with Yukon residents: G.I. Cameron, Charles "Chappie ft Chapman, Silvester Jack, Dorothy Jackson, Elizabeth Nyman, Angela Sidney, George Simmons, Virginia Smarch, Dora Wedge and Ed Whjtehouse provided information that was otherwise not available. Julie Cruikshank suggested useful reference resouroes for Indian fishing information. Aileen Horler and Tim Osler offered suggestions during the embryonic stage of the study. Valuable editorial comments were provided by Gavin Johnston. Sandy Johnston provided ourrent information on the Canada/U.S. Yukon River salmon negotiations. The report was typed by Norma Felker, Sharilyn Gattie and Kelly Wilkinson. ii SUMMARY Prior to the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898, fishing in the Yukon was primarily done by indigenous peoples for subsistenoe. For a number of Indian bands, fish, and partioularly salmon, was the primary food souroe. Contaot with White furtraders initiated a ohange in the Indian lifestyle.
