1t seems that the thousands of salmon
thrown into the bay on and since Saturday
had been condemned by Market Ii srector
Jacob Wrsy, who considered them unfit for
! sale or use. Another large lot came down
on the City of Stockton Monday, and so
badly did they offend the nostrils of the
officers and crew of that boat that two or
three thousand were cast overheard on the
trip down. The remainder, numbering
| 5000 and more, were piled up on the
| WashiI gton-stree wharf, near the Wharf
! myers office, where their presence became
known to everybody within some blocks of
the quarter by their loud SMELL Being un.
able to stand the punishment any longer,
the officials of the dock gave orders for
their immediate removal. The fish were
| loaded on trucks and taken to the end of
the wharf, where they were thrown into
! the bay. Although the cause had been
| gotten rid of, the effect in the shape of a
strong smell still remained, and it was
finally overcome to certain extent by
liberal application OF chloride of lime and
very liberal quantity of water. The re-
porter, in making his way around the CITY
front, distinguished the unsavory scent of
rotten salmon from Meiggs' wharf to the
Washington street wharf, the whole shore
under the wharves for that distance being
| strewed with the nuisance.
