Duration: 1 reel

Creator: Teaching Film Custodians, Inc

Format: 16mm

Description: An Educational films corporation of America production available only to schools. "Here we have a description of some of the many ways in which rivers serve mankind. Gravel is taken from a river bed for concrete; a river is dammed to aid navigation and supply power and irrigation. The Columbia River, which makes Portland a tideless seaport 110 miles from the sea, is seen as an important travel way for salmon. Striking views of the salmon running at spawning time, with leaping waterfalls, are shown. Weirs and nets catch many for canning, but sportsmen fish with hook and line."
