When doing industrial fishing, people want to catch certain species of fish.
When they are using nets, they will also catch other species.
These are called bycatch or by-catch.
Most of the time, the animals caught will be severely injured or killed.
Most of these species are thrown back into ithe sea, but some of the bycatch is used.
The exact amount of bycatch is not known.
There are estimates that up to a quarter of the total may be bycatch.
When catching shrimp, up to eighty percent may be bycatch.
Another problem is that the amount of bycatch is not recorded, and does not show up in statistics.

Ayatollah Sayed Mohammed Baqir (or Bakr) al-Hakim (1939 - August 29, 2003) was the foremost Shia Muslim leader in Iraq until his assassination in a terrorist bombing that killed him and 80 others as they were leaving a mosque in Najaf.
He was the son of Ayatollah Muhsin Al-Hakim, the worldwide leader of Shia Muslims from 1955 to 1970.
Al-Hakim co-founded the modern Islamist political movement in Iraq in the 1960s, along with Ayatollah Sayed Mohammed Baqir Al-Sadr, with whom he worked closely until the latter's death in 1980.
Though not among the most hard-line of Islamists, Al-Hakim was seen as dangerous by the ruling Baath regime, largely because of his agitation on behalf of Iraq's majority Shia population (the ruling regime was comprised mostly of Sunnis).
This led to his arrest in 1972, but he was released shortly thereafter.
He was partially blamed for the uprising in Najaf that occured in February 1977, and so was arrested again, and this time sentenced to life imprisonment.
However, his sentence was commuted and he was released in July 1979.
The subsequent eruption of war between Iraq and (largely Shia) Iran led to an ever-increasing distrust of Iraq's Shia population by the rulling Baath party; combined with his previous arrests, this convinced Al-Hakim that it was impossible to continue his Shia advocacy in Iraq, and in 1980 he fled to Iran.
Safely in Iran, Al-Hakim became an open enemy of the Baathists, forming the Supreme Council of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (SCIRI), a revolutionary group dedicated to overthrowing Saddam Hussein's regime.
In 1983, Hussein responded by arresting 125 members of Al-Hakim's family who had remained in Iraq, and executing 18 of them.
This further embittered Al-Hakim's view of the Baathists in general and Hussein in particular.
With Iranian aid, SCIRI became an armed resistance group, periodically making cross-border attacks on Iraqi facilities, maintaining covert connections with resistance elements within the country, and generally being a perennial thorn in Hussein's side.
Al-Hakim returned to Iraq in May 2003 following the overthrow of Hussein's regime by the US-led invasion of Iraq.
There he emerged as one of the most influential Iraqi leaders, with his longtime opposition to Hussein gaining him immense credibility, especially among the majority Shia population.
Initially he was very critical of the US-led occupation of Iraq, saying "we do not put confidence in the Americans, they have always acted against the interests of the Iraqi people" and urging Iraqis not to follow the US's administration's dictates.
However, he did give the US credit for overthrowing the hated Baathist regime, and through the summer of 2003 indicated some willingness to work with the Americans in setting up a civilian government in Iraq.
By the time of his death, he remained distrustful, but urged Iraqis to abandon violence, at least for the time being, and give the interim government a chance to earn their trust.
It is unclear (as of late August 2003) who was behind the massive bomb attack that killed him.
A spokesman for SCIRI in London suggested that supporters of Saddam Hussein may have been behind the attack; others suggest it may have been orchestrated by Sunnis not necessarily connected to Hussein who are opposed to the increasing Shia influence in the country; a few suggest it may have been carried out by hard-line Shia groups critical of Al-Hakim's increasingly conciliatory line towards the United States.
However, as his assassination comes in the midst of a pattern of violence against Shia clerics in Najaf in recent weeks (Al-Hakim is the fourth to be assassinated), it is considered likely that the attack was motivated by anti-Shia sentiment rather than by a conflict between Shia moderates and hardliners.
Born in Dearborn County, Indiana to farmers, Whiteaker only spent six months of formal schooling, and as a result, was almost entirely self-educated.
Before moving west, he had performed odd jobs, carpentry, and volunteered for military service during the Mexican War, although his unit was never called into battle.
In 1849, he joined the California Gold Rush, earning enough to move his family to a farm in Lane County, Oregon.
Once in Oregon he became active in Democratic Party activities, Elected to office first as Judge of the Probate Court for Lane County (1856), then as a legislator in the Territorial Legislature (1857).
Oregon was preparing for statehood in 1857, as voters had just approved a state constitution.
Whiteaker was selected as a Democratic faction's nominee in the first state gubernatorial election, held in June 1858.
Whiteaker won by a margin of 1,138, and was innagurated July 8, 1858.
He did not assume office until word that Congress had passed Oregon's statehood bill on February 14, 1859.
Technicaly, Oregon had two governors in the interrum, as Territorial Governor George Law Curry, was legally in charge until the state government-in-waiting was legally empowererd to take control.
Once in office, the new governor set out to untangle the large amounts of land claims and counter claims on public lands.
He also promoted economic policies favoring home industries, products that Oregonians could make self-sufficiently.
Although nicknamed "Honest John", this did not deflect his controversial stands on issues of national importance.
Whiteaker held pro-slavery views which did not sit well with apopulation mostly in the abolitionist camp.
Opponents often used this to attack him as a traitor as the United States descended into the Civil War.
Whiteaker was not nominated again by the Democrats in the 1862 election, and thus left office.
He did stay in local politics, winning three terms as a state representative (1866-1870), and election to the State Senate in 1870.
Congress and "Whiteaker's Ride"
Whiteaker was elected to Congress in 1878, as Oregon's Representative-at large.
The Democrats had been weakened in the House, and needed one vote to prevail in their nominee for Speaker of the House.
The vote was needed by March 18, 1879.
Whiteaker, all ready on his way to Washington, recieved word of this urgency while on a steamer between Portland and San Fransisco, California.
Upon docking in San Francisco on March 12th, he was met by a railroad agent, and rushed to a special Central Pacific Railroad express train at Oakland.
The regular transcontinental train was 25 hours out of Oakland, but Whiteaker's train managed to catch up with it.
He arrived in Washington on the morning of March 18th, in enough time to be promptly seated by Congress and cast his vote.
The trip cost $1500 at the time, an expense widely criticized by the Democrat's political oppostition and the media.
Many referred to it as "Whiteaker's ride".
John Whiteaker would be called back into politics one more time, in 1885 when President Grover Cleveland appointed him as Oregon's Collector of Revenues at the U.S. Customs House in Portland.
After 1890, moved back to Eugene, purchasing 10 city blocks in the central city.
The area today is now known in Eugene as Whiteaker's Addition.
He stayed in Eugene until his death in 1902.

Stephen Fowler Chadwick (December 25, 1825 - January 15, 1895), was an American Democrat politician who served as Governor of Oregon from 1877 to 1878.
Governor Chadwick was the first person to obtain the governorship by way of the state's Line of Succession.
Occupational background
Chadwick was a lawyer, admitted to the New York State Bar on May 30, 1850.
He soon made his way to Oregon, setting up a law firm in the Douglas County settlement of Scottsburg in April 1851.
Chadwick served as the town's first postmaster.
Early Political Career
After moving from Scottsburg to Roseburg, Chadwick ran for the newly created position of Judge of Douglas County.
Later he would go on to represent Douglas County at the Oregon 1857 State Constitiutional Convention.
In the 1864 and 1868 Presidential elections, Chadwick served as an Democratic elector.
In 1877, La Fayette Grover resigned the governorship after his election to the United States Senate by the State Legislature.
Chadwick, as Secretary of State and second in the gubernatorial line of succession, was inaugurated to fill out the remaining year of Governor Grover's term.
Although unconstitutional under Article V, Section 1 of the State Constitution, Chadwick also kept his position of Secretary of State.
When signing official documents requiring the signatures of both the Secretary of State and Governor, he would sign first on the left side, then on the right.
The most notable policy of his administration was Chadwick's stand on the Nez Perce Wars raging in the northeastern part of the state.
Chadwick was unhappy with the stalemated situation, going so far as to inspect the front lines first-hand.
He aided white settlers during the conflict, and argued for much harsher punishments for rebellious and uncooperative tribal leaders than the Army's policies.
At the time of the 1878 elections, Governor Chadwick declined a second term and went back to practicing law.
He died on February 15, 1895 in Salem, Oregon.

Chadwick, Stephen F.
William Wallace Thayer (July 15, 1827 - October 15, 1899), was a Democratic politician active in U.S. states of Idaho and Oregon.
Most notably, he served as the sixth Governor of Oregon from 1878 to 1882 and Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court from 1888 to 1889.
Thayer was born on a farm near Lima, New York on July 15, 1827.
He recieved a public education before studying law in college.
He was admitted to the New York State Bar in 1851.
He then practiced law with his brother in Buffalo and later Tonawanda.
A mining boom in Idaho Territory caught Thayer's attention in 1860, prompting him to move west.
He arrived in Corvallis, Oregon in 1861, where he joined another brother, Andrew, at his law firm.
In 1863, he would finally move to Idaho, setting up his own law firm in Lewiston.
Political career in Idaho
In 1866, three years after moving to Lewiston, Thayer was elected District Attorney for the Third Judicial District of Idaho Territory.
From 1866 until 1867, he moved to Boise to serve for a session of the Idaho Territory House of Representatives.
He moved to Portland, Oregon shortly after leaving the legislature.
Early political career in Oregon
Upon returning to Oregon, Thayer establuished a sucessful law firm in the city of East Portland.
At this time, he became an active member of the Democratic Party.
During the 1876 Hayes-Tilden Presidential Election dispute, Thayer was a member of the legal team which challened the certification of J. W. Watts, a Republican elector for Rutherford B. Hayes.
Although sucessful, this challenge did not help Samuel Tilden prevail in the Electoral College.
Still appreciative of his assistance in the Watts Case, the Oregon State Democratic Party nominmated Thayer for Governor in 1878.
Thayer would win narrowly, by a margin of 59 votes.
Thayer's time in office is remembered as a fiscally conservative, anti-corruption administration, which sought to make the state bureaucracy more efficient.
The State Board of Equalization, land law reforms, and the establishment of a State Mental Hospital were initiated under his leadership.
He would completely eliminate the state's debt while in office.
Governor Thayer was often spoke out about the state's finances.
Highly critized by Thayer was the process by which the State Legislature based its budget appropriations.
He called for revenue projections to be based on actual revenues, not what was anticipated as the Legislature had often done in the past.
He also refused to fund the completion of the State Capitol Building, stating that the building was too expensive and lavish for Oregon.
His lasting legacy was reforming the Supreme Court of Oregon into its present incarnation by statute.
Previously, Circuit Court judges served also as Justices of the Supreme Court.
After the statue change, Supreme Court positions were made a seperate, directly-elected office.
Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court
Thayer declined to run for a second term in the 1882 gubernatorial election.
Instead, he successfully ran a campaing for Justice of the Supreme Court in 1884.
Justice Thayer remained on the bench until 1889, the last two years of that term serving as Chief Justice.

He immediately set out to support higher education, eliminate corruption from land speculators, and fueled support for the direct election of Untied States Senators, when the Senate refused to seat Henry W. Corbett, Lord's apointee.
He promoted ending the corrupt land speculation practices of the time by creating the State Land Board, headed by an official State Land Agent.
The present land-use system protecting Oregon's wildlife and fisheries would evolve from this early agency.

While nothing came of this while he was in office, later governors would would support Lord's proposal.
The line item veto was finally approved in 1916.

He was twice elected to the United States Senate where he served for twelve years (1909-1921).
He was author of the Chamberlain Military Preparedness Bill of 1918.
He became a member of the United States Shipping Board for the term 1921-25.
Benson was born in San Jose, California in 1858 to a minister sent west by the Methodist Epispocal Church in 1882.
His father, Henry Clarke Benson, moved the family to Portland, Oregon to become editor of the Pacific Christian Accord in 1864.
Young Frank was enrolled in the Portland Academy, later continuing his education at the College of the Pacific in Stockton, California.
After college, he returned to Oregon, begining a career in education.
In 1880, he took charge of the Methodist Umpqua Academy in Wilbur, Oregon.
Benson assumed his first elected office as Superintendent of Douglas County Schools between 1882 and 1886.
He relinquished the post after becoming president of a Normal School in Drain.
Benson would return to politics in 1892, after his election as Douglas County Clerk.
He was relected and passed the state bar exam in 1896.
In 1898, Benson began practicing law in Roseburg.
Secretary of State and Governorship
In 1906, Benson would run for Secretary of State, winning both the Republican primary and the general election.
The sitting governor George Earle Chamberlain won election to the United States Senate in 1909 and resigned the governor's seat.
As Secretary of State, Frank Benson was next in the gubernatorial line of sucession, and was sworn into office March 1, 1909.
Following Governor Stephen F. Chadwick's example, who assumed the governorship in 1877 under similar circumstances, Benson kept both the Governor's and Secretary of State's offices.
Although this is normally forbidden under the Oregon State Constitution.
He collected pay for both offices.
Governor Benson undertook no major changes in the state government despite holding two of the states most powerful offices.
Instead, he called for a special session of the Legislative Assembly to pass a bill which had been overlooked in the last (25th Biennial) Session.
This bill funded operation costs for the state's major institutions, namely the state's prison, reform school, mental hospital, school for the blind, and veteran's home.
He also attempted to settle a boundary dispute with neighboring Washington.
Benson had been gravely ill even before he accepted the governorship.
Although his condition had seemed to improve since taking office, he left for California in 1910 to seek further treatment.
On June 15, 1910, Benson telephoned his priovate secretary, transfering the Governor's powers to  Oregon State Senate President Jay Bowerman until he could return to Salem.
Bowerman was sworn in as Acting Governor on June 16, 1910.
Benso had indicated that he hoped to return by July 20, 1910.
He did not seek reelection as Governor; but won reelection as Secretary of State in 1910.
Although retaining one of his positions, Benson did not return as planned.
His health continued to fail in Redlands, California, where he died April 14, 1911.

Benson, Frank W.
Bowerman was born in Hesper, Iowa, the son of Daniel and Lydia (Battey) Bowerman.
His siblings were named Ralph,  Martha and Mary.
He received his early education in public schools of Hesper, then moved to Salem, Oregon in 1893.
He entered Willamette University that same year and graduated with a law degree in 1896 at the age of twenty.
He was admitted to the Oregon Bar the following year, practicing law in Salem until 1899.
He then moved to Condon, in Gilliam County, Oregon, where he lived for the next twelve years.
There he became a law partner of H. H. Henricks.
Bowerman's service in the Spanish-American War briefly interrupted his practice of the law.
He married Elizabeth Hoover in 1903 and together they had three children: William, Daniel and Elizabeth.
However, the couple divorced and Bowerman married Wayfe Hockett in 1914; this marriage produced two further children, Sally and Jayne.
He was elected to the Oregon State Senate from Gilliam County in 1904 and was reelected four years later.
He served as president of that body from 1909 to 1911.
When Governor Frank W. Benson was incapacitated by ill health in June 1910, he asked Bowerman.
as President of the Senate, to assume gubernatorial responsibilities.
On June 16, 1910, at age thirty-three, Bowerman became Acting Governor.
Mindful of bureaucratic economy, Bowerman advocated establishment of a Board of Control to administer the state institutions, which would permit fiscal savings by combined purchasing for state institutions through the office of a single purchasing agent.
However, the Board of Control was not established until the administration of his successor.
He acted to reduce the risk of loss through bank failure by prohibiting Oregon bankers from the use of speculative stock as assets if they had actively promoted that stock.
In 1904 the citizens of Oregon adopted a direct primary law prohibiting party nominating conventions.
But establishment Republicans, unwilling to relinquish party control over nominations, held an "assembly" in 1910 at which they nominated Bowerman as their candidate for governor.
He was therefore cast in the role of opponent of the "Oregon System" of direct government by his Democratic gubernatorial rival, Oswald West.
Bowerman campaigned on a platform supporting modernized highway systems, increased economies in the administration of government, and continued tight control of state land management.
West defeated him, however, 54,853 votes to 48,751.
After leaving the office of governor on January 8, 1911, Bowerman moved to Portland, where he resumed the practice of law.
He was reelected President of the State Senate but retired following the 1911 session.
As a private citizen he actively supported Oregon's first statewide bond issue for highway construction, a $6,000,000 proposal.
He also served as an active lobbyist for years at the State Legislature.
He died in Portland in 1957.
Bowerman, Jay
West was born in Ontario, Canada but moved to Salem, Oregon with his family at the age of four where he attended school and eventually went into banking.
After several years as a banker in Salem and Astoria, Oregon and a six month stint searching for gold in Alaska West gained an appointment to the State Land Commission.
He proved effective in his position with the State Land Commission recovering almost 1 million acres of fraudulently held state land.
After leaving the Land Commission he earned a term the Oregon Railroad Commission where he again found a great deal of success.
In 1910 he gained the Democratic nomination for Governor and went on to defeat his opponent and take the office.
While in office West defended what he called the "Oregon System" which included initiative and referendum systems still in use in many western American states today.
These systems led to women's suffrage, prohibition  and various workers rights laws being put in to action under his lead.
All pet issues of Governor West.
West's most notable work was in protecting the state's natural resources.
It was under his administration the beaches bordering the Pacific Ocean were protected for public use; the office of State Forester and the Bureau of Forestry were established; and the Fish Commission and Game Commission were created.
West served only one term, opting not to run for re-election in the 1914 election.
He instead moved his family to Portland, Oregon where he practiced law.
He died in Portland on August 22 1960.
Born to Thomas and Mary Ann Withycombe in Devonshire, England, English tenant farmers in 1843.
Withycome emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1871, settling on a farm near Hilsboro, Oregon.
After turning 17, he spent four years working on his father's farm.
In 1873, Withycomb purchased his own 100 acre parcel on the Horace Lindsay Land Claim, later expanding his holdings to 256 acres.
Agriculture became Withycomb's passion, becoming a prosperous livestock breeder and establishing a reputation as a sucessful scientific farmer.
Farmer and educator
His sucess led to his involvement in local farming organizations.
He became a charter member of the Farmington Grange, and later became a leader in the state grange movement.
From these platforms, Withycomb's efficient, innovative, and profitable farming methods became a model for farmers across the Pacific Northwest.
His stature gained him an appointment as State Veterinarian in 1889, where he would diligently work to improve conditions of livestock health around the state.
Although mostly self-educated, he was sought after by the Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis (now Oregon State University) in 1898 to head up the college's experimental farming station.
He recieved his Master's Degree in Agriculture 1891 from OAC.
Using this position to advance Oregon agriculture, he would play a major part in introducing alfalfa and clover to Eastern Oregon, laying the groundwork for the region's future agricultural economy.
Withycomb also became heavily involved in Oregon's agricultural industry, serving as president of the North Pacific Wool Growers and Northwest Sheep Breeders Associations.
His tenureship on the board of the Oregon Academy of Sciences saw the dairy industry's profits rise from $2.5 million to $20 million.
Such accomplishments built up respect for Withycombe statewide and gained the state Republican Party's attention.
Withycomb would enter politics in the 1906 primary, losing the Republican gubernatorial nomination.
The 1910 election of controversial Democratic Governor Oswald West energized Oregon Republicans, who tapped Withycombe for the 1914 gubernatorial race.
He handily defeated challenger Charles Smith; the first Republican Governor to assume office via election since T. T. Geer in 1903.
As Governor, James Withycombe vigourously promoted agricultural development.
A notable proposal from his administration was to ask the Legislative Assembly to subsidize flax production as a prison industry.
The Withycombe Administration backed the "Good Roads" movement, creating the Oregon Highway Commission while in office.
With the new commission in place, a large road-building program was initiated, establishing many of Oregon's modern state routes and highways.
Upon the U.S. entry into the First World War, Governor Withycomb took a vocal and patriotic postion in support of the war effort.
He encouraged volunteer military service, and promoted the state's war industries.
While in office, he took a strong position against labor unions.
He spoke out publicly against the Industrial Workers of the World, claiming that it terrorized labor and would cripple industry following several instances of I.W.W. threats to disrput production in 1917.
He organized veterans of the Spanish-American War into an Oregon State Defense force, and encouraged citizens in Eastern Oregon to form self-defence committees to defend the state against violent labor agitators.
Withycomb used his powers as Governor to shipyard prevent a strike in Astoria, by calling out the National Guard.
His 1918 reelection campaign capitalized on his wartime acts, portraying him as a wartime Governor actively protecting the state and aiding the defense of the United States.
These efforts gained him a second term, of which he only served two months.
James Withycombe died in office of a heart condition on March 3, 1919, succeeded by President of the Oregon State Senate Ben W. Olcott.

Withycombe, James
Ben W. Olcott (October 15, 1872-March 3, 1952) was  a Republican Governor of Oregon, USA.
Olcott was born in Keithsburg, Illinois.
He was educated at a Keithsburg elementary school and a business school in Dixon, later becoming a clerk in Chicago.
In 1891, at age 19, he moved to Salem, Oregon, and became a roommate and good friend of Oswald West.
West would become a major influence in the development of Olcott's political career.
Adventurer and Banker
For nearly 15 years, Olcott travelled throughout the Pacific Northwest, mostly in order to prospect for gold.
Often this interrupted pursuits of other occupations, mostly in the field of banking.
His trips would take him to Southern Oregon (1892-93 accompanied by Oswald West), back to Salem to become a bank teller (1893-1895), Northern Washington and British Columbia (1895-1897), and then back to Illinois for a career as a bank cashier.
Olcott's sense of adventure prevailed again in 1904, leading him to Alaska.
His journey ended notably when he drove a dog sled team to Nome, a trip of over 1,000 miles up the Yukon and Tanna Rivers in the height of winter.
Settling in Fairbanks, Olcott found work as a gold dust teller, and later a bank branch manager.
He managed to make a sizeable profit from gold prospecting, allowing him to move back to Oregon.
Becomes a Public Figure
Olcott's good friend Oswald West had entered politics, heading the State Land Office.
West offered Olcott a position in the Land Office, which he accepted in 1909.
He became more interested in the political process, and was appointed by Governor Chamberlain to oversee the state's interest in a failed Portland bank, which held a large ammount of state school funds.
Although he was a Republican, and West was a Democrat, the two had a strong friendship which transcended politics.
Olcott ran West's victorious 1910 gubernatorial campaign, and contributed $1,500 to his friend's effort.
He married Lena Olcott (nee Hutton), Oswald West's sister-in law.
In 1911, during Oswald West's Governorship, Secretary of State and former Governor Frank W. Benson, died of illness.
Despite being from an opposing party, West appointed Olcott as Secretary of State to fill out the rest of Benson's term.
Olcott would be elected in his own right to the office in 1912, and reelected in 1916.
On March 3, 1919, Governor James Withycombe died after serving only two months of his second term in office due to heart complications.
Ben Olcott, as Secretary of State, assumed the Governorship under the state's gubernatorial line of sucession.
Withycombe was so widely respected that Olcott refused to be sworn in until after the late Governor's funeral.
Once in office, Governor Olcott continued Withycombe's road-building agenda.
Today's policy of leaving a protected buffer of forested land around state highways was instituted under the Olcott Administration.
Olcott Built upon Withycombe's defense and state safety policies.
His administration managed to obtain U.S. Army air patrols for spotting forest fires.
He proposed legislation banning the Japanese from holding land in Oregon.
The growing power of the Ku Klux Klan in Oregon alarmed Governor Olcott, who did not hesitate to denounce the organization.
He refused any Klan support for his 1922 gubernatorial campaign, jepordizing his nomination.
Olcott narrowly won the Republican nomination, but lost the general election to the Klan-supported, Democratic Senate President Walter M. Pierce.
After his electoral defeat, Olcott left Oregon to manage the Long Beach, California branch of the Bank of Italy.
In 1924 he returned to Oregon to become a director of the Oregon Mutual Savings Bank in Portland.
He died in Portland on July 21, 1952, and was buried in Salem.

GOlcott, Ben W.
Pierce was born to Charles M. and Charlotte L. (née Clapp) Pierce, Jacksonian Democrat farmers in Morris, Illinois on May 30, 1861.
At the age of 17, he began teaching school despite only having a secondary education.
The ideas of Manifest Destiny as espoused by Horace Greeley, influenced Pierce to move west in 1883.
After arriving in Portland, Oregon in June of that year, he found no available work.
After a time working the wheat fields of eastern Washington Territory, he earned enough money to finally settle in Milton, Oregon in Umatilla County.
There, he returned to a career in education, and established a successful farm.
As an educator, Pierce was drawn into local politics.
He became well known for his pro-temperance views, as he regularly spoke out against saloons selling alcohol to his students.
In 1887, he married one of his students, Clara R. Rudio, who would die during childbirth only three years later.
He would marry Clara's sister, Laura in 1893.
From 1886 until 1890, Pierce served as Superintendent of Umatilla County Public Schools.
From 1890 until 1894, he served as Umatilla County Clerk, a prosperous time in which he earned enough money from land transactions to further his education.
He then returned to Illinois with his family to attend Northwestern University, earning his Bachelors of Law degree in 1896.
Early political career as a State Senator
After graduation, the Pierce family returned to Oregon, where Walter set up a successful law firm in Pendleton.
Between 1896 and 1906, he would manage a power company, speculate in land, and become one of the state's most renowned Hereford Cattle breeders.
He won election to and resumed the office of County Clerk, between 1899 and 1903.
Pierce would successfully run for a seat in the Oregon State Senate in 1902.
In his first term in the Senate, he unsuccessfully attempted to win passage of prohibition legislation, while successfully winning passage of a state subsidy of $6 per child for education.
He was defeated at the polls for reelection, and retired from politics for a decade beginning in 1906.
While out of politics, Pierce continued local and statewide activities.
He took part in founding the Oregon Farmer's Union and the Public Power League, headed the State Taxpayers League, and took a seat on the board of Regents of Oregon Agricultural College from 1905 to 1927.
He began advocating for using the Columbia River for hydroelectric electric power during this time.
Pierce attempted a run for the Democratic nomination for a seat in the U.S. Senate in 1912, losing to Harry Lane in the general election.
In 1916, his constituents elected him to once again serve in the State Senate.
Pierce then unsuccessfully ran against incumbent Governor James Withycombe in 1918 as a progressive Democrat.
In the next election, 1920, he lost his senate seat by only twenty-seven votes.
The loss of his State Senate seat did not stop Pierce from further pursuing the Governor's office.
In 1922, he ran a successful campaign against Ben W. Olcott, with aid from the Ku Klux Klan.
At the time, the Klan was growing in influence and power across the state, and had crafted an overtly anti-catholic and anti-sematic Cumpulsory School Bill.
