		Thus it was in relation to the river itself that the forms of economy associated with the different types of society most obviously came into conflict: logs and salmon could not easily be made to coexist in the same river.
		Although the shortage of labour and the conflict of interests overt the use of the river brought industry and the farm owners face to face, the latter were not directly opposed to industrialization and tended to adopt a definite attitude towards it only when the immediate need arose.
		The areas occupied by the industrial population were absorbed into the town of Kemi in 1931, leaving the rural population to continue its former way of life in the villages of the Kemijoki estuary.

		The River Kemi is the largest river in Finland, and its natural state has been altered over the past forty years by the construction of numerous hydro-electric dams.
