Notes
This Benjamin Gifford photogravure of Celilo Falls shows some detail I’ve never seen. Does anyone know what that tank is for?

Shows just how violent those falls were.
That structure and tower is definitely white man construction. What ever it was it possibly had to do with the cannery down river. Something to ponder about. All that was long gone by my time.
Buzz
Picture reminds me of the unique roar of the falls.

I think this is part of the Seufert fish wheel and cannery.

one of my three memories of the falls Buzz…..thundering noise, smell and rickety fishing platforms
Bill Seaton
One of my memories, is having Mary Hawkes drive Mom and me up to see the falls on the weekend before they were scheduled to disappear.
Charlott
"I was a little girl back then, who liked to watch the fishermen. Don’t you see, don’t you hear, don’t you smell."
This is part of a poem I wrote about Celilo Falls, a very long time ago….

We stopped at a resterant near where Celilo used to be visable about 25 years ago.
I asked a waitress if she knew about where it was before the water covered it. She said she heard it was near here maybe they moved it. My wife looked at me and said don’t say anything..We’ll talk later.
I have many pictures that my Grandfather Alva Day who lived at 420 June St. If somebody Can help me get these pictures to some body that would like to displace them so they could be seen by everyone. Contact me at densan.onesissy@gmail.com
