<br />About our cover <br /> <br />The petroglyphs on our cover are reproductions o~ rock carvings on the ancient basalt <br />cliffs overlooking Celilo Falls and the Long Narro s, an area near The Dalles, Oregon, <br />that once was the site of the greatest fishery in the olumbia River Basin. The render- <br />ings of deer, birds, turtles and other figures are an ient evidence of human occupation <br />along the river. That's why we chose them for our over. For generations, people drank <br />from the river, pulled fish from its waters and, in ore recent times, irrigated crops, <br />generated electricity and shipped products using e Columbia. Today, the cumulative <br />effects of those uses are clear, and the river and its ish are more threatened by human <br />activities than ever before. <br /> <br />The photograph is of the Columbia River Gorge n ar Hood River, Oregon. <br />
