  • Y-480418-24. Celilo Village longhouse, Feast of the First Salmon dinner. April 18, 1948. The purpose of this annual feast was to give thanks and welcome the first salmon to start the spring run up the Columbia River. With the beginning of each year's new salmon run, Celilo Indians could eat fresh fish instead of the dried salmon they preserved from the year before. Historically this was expected to be the second or third week of April, but the Indians would begin the celebration only after the fish actually appeared. Just the year before, in 1948, Chief Tommy Thompson had gone to the Warm Springs to invite all the Indians to Celilo for the feast on the weekend the fish were anticapated, but when the fish didn't run he had to postpone the ceremony for another week. And nine years before, in 1940, the feast was held on the first weekend of April, at the time it was said to be the earliest the feast had ever been held. Attendance had ranged from, according to newspaper reports, 47 Indians in 1938, rising to 600 at this one. The following year, in 1949, the feast was again postponed due to no fish. With the end of Celilo in the forseeable future, crowds continued to grow and finally, in 1956, at the last Feast of the First Salmon before the innundation, unseasonably warm weather in the late winter thawed the ice fields and Celilo falls flooded making fishing impossible. Celilo Indians were forced to buy 400 pounds of salmon on the commercial market in Portland to feed the crowd, which the newspaper reported as being comprised of "More white folks with cameras than Indian fishermen with dipnets." Ever since the falls were covered, the feast has been held at a pre-arranged time.

  • Y-480302-1.This photo, titled “Haymaker Coming Up,” won first place in the 1948 Associated Press annual photography awards in the sports category. Bobby Zander, of Los Angeles, tosses a haymaker at Joe Kahut before a sellout crowd of 4700, with 3000 turned away, at Portland’s Civic Auditorium on March 2, 1948. In the 4th round Kahut began to land left hand blows to Zander’s body, followed up by rights to the head, while Zander responded with headshots of his own, while doubling up Kahut with a blow to the mid-section. Thirty seconds into the fifth round, a left hook to the jaw from Kahut floored Zander for the ten-count.

  • ackroyd-01177-47. Timberline. December 16, 1948. 41/48Repairing the Magic Mile chair lift. "Prior to weather clearing on Dec 16, 1948 there had been an utterly miserable blizzard for days. Weather so bad that some of the Magic Mile cable was completely blown off the towers, some chairs being blown all the way 'round in 360 degrees. Measured weight of snow and ice on cables and chairs was estimated 25# to the foot. Repeated sledgehammer blows required to clear the buildup. Great ingenuity (was required) to rotate the chairs in a reverse 360."
