>From common Northwest parlance in the 1950s-early 1990s, there
is some continuity here in the English as spoken.

	The salmon is still known as the Chinook in the Northwest. I was
confused
	when I saw it labelled "King" in California.

	Cohoe in the Northwest is still the silver. There is a salmon
known in California
	as Cohoe that is called "chum" in the Northwest - because it was
considered
	best as a bait fish in the old days. Today it is used in salmon
loaf in the Northwest.
