Carved Roast Beef and Baked Ham Fishing groups say members have seen their harvests reduced year after year and many fisherman have gone broke. They say power companies have prospered during that time. "I regard this as bullying, a blame-the-victim mentality," said Thane Thiensen, a Portland attorney representing fishing "The season we now have is the lowest on record, and for them to claim that it isn't sufficient is hypocrisy." The fisheries service has predicted dams alone will kill 65 percent of fall chinook returning this year to the Snake River for spawning. The Pacific Fishery Management Council allowed a fishing harvest rate of 55 percent of returning salmon. State and federal biologists have estimated that dams are responsible for 95 percent of human-caused mortality among juvenile salmon during migration to the ocean.

The group filing the notice included the Public Power Council, Pacific Northwest Generating Cooperative and five other utility companies, Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Oregon Metallurgical Corp. and Reynolds Metals Co. and seven other aluminum companies. PORTLAND (AP) A group of power and aluminum companies told federal agencies they must bolster salmon hatchery programs and do more to protect the threatened fish from nets, logging, grazing and mining. But they want the National Marine Fisheries Service to do less in protecting salmon from dams and hydro operations on the Columbia and Snake rivers.

The fisheries service listed the Snake River chinook runs as threatened last month under the Endangered Species Act. The group of companies on Thursday said it has served notice to the following federal agencies they are violating the act: the departments of Com- merce, Agriculture, Interior and Energy; the Army Corps of Engineers; the Bonneville Power Administration; and the Pacific Fishery Management Council, among others. The notice gives the agencies 60 days to correct the alleged violations before a federal lawsuit is filed. The group says the agencies have failed "in the critical areas of harvest management and enforcement, hatchery operations and funding and habitat management." Oregon sending refunds to retirees SALEM The state Revenue Department has begun sending thousands of refund checks to retired federal employees in response to a state Supreme Court ruling. The department began mailing the checks, which will total about $50 million, in early May.

The state Supreme Court ruled in January that the state had illegally taxed federal retirees pensions in 1988 and 1989. The money will come from the ending balance of the 1991-93 state budget. Revenue workers have mailed most of the 1989 refund checks, and the 1988 checks will begin going out in about two weeks, Julie Clark, a department spokeswoman, said. The checks average $850. An estimated 30,600 people will get 1989 refund checks, and about 4,000 retirees will get letters informing them that because they didn't pay taxes in 1989, they aren't eligible for refunds, Clark said.

The 1988 refund numbers should be similar. Group forms to push tax initiative SEATTLE A newly formed organization that calls itself the League of Washington Taxpayers is proposing a new property-tax initiative after voters last fall rejected a proposal to roll back taxes to their 1985 level. The Redmond-based group, a coalition of groups that were involved in last November's Initiative 559, hopes to cap government spending, roll back proper-, ty assessments and give voters power to veto any future tax increases in the state. The newest proposal, Initiative 589, would take most ma" jor taxing and spending decisions out of the hands of elected officials. "The people who put this together feel that city, county and state governments have been taxing us to death," said Ellis Lind, a league spokesman.

"We want to reform the state tax system by bringing officials back into line." But some say one likely result of Initiative 589 may be deep cuts over time in all welfare or social-service programs. Under the initiative, no city, state or county budget could grow by more than 3 percent a year or the rate of inflation, whichever is greater. For tax purposes, property values would be rolled back to their 1989 levels. They would be limited to increases of 4 percent annually. 2nd Roberts recall effort under way SALEM Retired contractor Hershel Taylor has filed papers with the secretary of state's office in a second attempt to recall Gov.

Barbara Roberts. The Myrtle Creek, resident failed earlier this month to collect enough signatures to force a special recall election. Taylor filed a statement of organization for the USA Voters Club II for his second effort. His first recall organization was the USA Voters Club. Taylor said he hoped to submit a prospective petition for recall today.

He must gather at least 166,928 valid signatures within 90 days. If he takes the full 90 days to collect the signatures of registered voters, a recall election could be held by the Sept. 15 regular election, the state Elections Division said.

"When those meters are running, you could easily run up costs of $10,000" for any one rescue, Quinley said Thursday. "It would be money well spent if over the years it resulted in even a couple fewer rescues of Korean climbers." Two Italian climbers fell to their deaths Friday on the mountain and a Swiss climber died Sunday of an apparent heart It's Deere Season! No money has been appropriated yet. Plans call for sending park service representatives to Korea at the start of the climbing season to give a better picture of lethal risks that the mountain known to Alaska Natives as "the great one" poses even to experienced climbers. Quinley said since May, when the climbing season began, there have been two Koreans airlifted off the mountain after falling. That is in addition to the three who died and the three who were rescued this week.

McKinley is about 130 miles northeast of Anchorage. Each year about half of the 1,000 or so climbers who attempt an ascent make it to the summit. Sales Rental 3 ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) The National Park Service said Thursday it wants to travel to South Korea to deliver a public education message specially aimed at Korean mountaineers planning to scale Mount McKinley. The idea came from a McKinley mountaineering ranger concerned that Koreans were dying and getting injured in disproportionate numbers while attempting the peak, North America's tallest. The deaths Wednesday of three Korean climbers at 15,000 feet underscored the need for the unique project, said John Quinley, a park service spokesman in Anchorage.

The park service in Alaska has submitted a $10,000 funding request for the program, he said. It could be in place as soon as next spring. Although a third or more of McKinley climbers in the past few years are foreigners, the public education program would operate in Korea only. "The primary purpose, obviously, would be to keep people from getting hurt," Quinley said. "But we also think it could be cost-efficient." Wednesday's deaths followed by two days a successful rescue mission of three South Koreans stranded a week at 18,000 feet without food.
