...boat party, including Idaho Governor John Evans and his wife Lola. But the purpose of the cruise was business as well as pleasure. Both the natural area and its high-flying inhabitants are endangered, and the river trip marked the kickoff of a joint public and private campaign to save them. "These birds are valuable, important even to the people who never come here to look at them," said Andrus. "They are wild and free and make us all a little richer and freer just by existing...
