Klamath Basin Tribes and allies from the commercial fishing and conservation organizations attend a rally Wednesday in Northeast Portland, calling for the removal of PacifiCorp's Klamath River dams to help restore Klamath salmon runs. The new president of PacifiCorp's power generating division says the utility could agree to removing five dams from the Klamath River to help restore salmon if customers don't have to pay more for electricity. Indian tribes characterized it as an encouraging move toward restoring salmon to 350 miles of rivers blocked by the dams for nearly 100 years.
