In Seattle, Gore was recounting the administration's economic record in an address to the U.S.

Conference of Mayors. He also was the headliner at a state Democratic Party dinner in Spokane before returning to the nation's capital on an overnight flight. Rich Steele, a retired engineer from the Hanford nuclear plant, piloted the small motorboat that cruised Gore and the state's top Democrats, Sen. Patty Murray and Gov. Gary Locke, up the river.

"After all these years, I just want it protected from development," Steele said. Gore was stopping by a reelection fund-raiser for Locke before leaving Seattle. Gore promised, if elected, to convene a "summit" to decide the question of breaching four dams across Washington's Snake River to help save the region's famous but endangered salmon. "I will bring together all interested parties to find a real solution," Gore said. "Mine will be an inclusive approach based on solid science the kind of approach that is working right now in coastal areas like the Puget Sound." Industry and labor officials say that breaching the dams, as environmentalists suggest, would threaten farming, other businesses and jobs.

Protesters with signs greeted Gore here in southeast Washington. Bush has pledged to block any attempt to breach the dams and his campaign criticized Gore yesterday for not taking a position. "Al Gore continues to demonstrate weak leadership on an important issue," Bush spokesman Dan Barlett said. Washington Sen. Slade Gorton, a Republican, and county commissioners in Hanford's three surrounding counties oppose the federal designation of the Hanford Reach, arguing that such decisions should take into account the views of local residents.

The Hanford nuclear site is a priority Superfund area for future cleanup. spoke to preservationists after Clinton, at the White yKouse, named new national toonuments in the West. By Sandra Sobieraj ASSOCIATED PRESS RICHLAND, Wash. Wind mussing his hair, Vice President Gore sped up the Columbia River yesterday in a boat named Can Do II, turning the administration's designation of new national monuments into a campaign event. The Democratic presidential candidate saluted local preservationists who have fought for three decades to protect the Columbia's Hanford Reach, a 51-mile stretch of salmon-rich waters and sloping sandstone bluffs.

It once served as a security buffer for Hanford, where the government made plutonium for the nation's nuclear arsenal. "Sometimes the effort must have seemed like you yourselves were swimming upstream," Gore said. "But your ship's come in. I don't want to get too many metaphors in here, but this is a good day." Hours before Gore made a 16-mile tour of the Columbia and addressed a riverbank gathering, President Clinton made the formal monument designations at the White House. The designations were made under the Antiquities Act, which allows creation of monuments on federal land for scientific or historic reasons.

Also chosen: Oregon's Cascade-Siskiyou, including Soda Mountain and nearby lands where plant and animal life are abundant. The Canyons of the Ancients, nine miles west of Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. The Ironwood Forest, a area northwest of Tucson, that is filled with stands of ironwood trees. jj Gore's courtship yesterday of the Pacific Northwest emerging as a battleground in the race against Republican George W. Bush was an exhaustive one.

The opening of the 21-room Callow-hill center means that "the piloting is over" locally, Jerome Kilbane, director of Covenant House Pennsylvania, said. "We are setting down roots." The center is the latest addition to a chain of 22 central facilities.

It will be the hub of Covenant House's services in the region, Kilbane said. The agency has grown steadily since its founding by a Catholic priest in 1969 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Last year, it provided "open intake" residential and social services to more than 50,000 at-risk youths nationwide. Covenant House operates independently of city agencies, getting 90 percent of its funds from private donations and the rest from federal and foundation grants, Kilbane said.
