All that remains are the ruins of buildings that survived the storm and sea — an old church, railway terminus, port and jetty, a post office.

The sea along its coast has always been a good provider, and the most important gift that that sea has offered up is the Pacific salmon that once filled its rivers and streams from far west of Alaska to Central California. That is changing. This year the return of Sockeye to the Fraser River collapsed and finally the Canadian government is ordering judicial inquiry into why this happened. http://salem-news.com/articles/november202009/fish_story_jw.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november202009/fish_story_jw.php Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:07:00 PST
