FISH Law VIoLAToRs ARRESTED.
Commissioner R. II. Buckingham says the
patrol employed by the Fish Commissioners,
and which is under the charge of officer Jones,
is doing excellent work. A few nights since
they captured four Cinnamon, near Rio
Vista, who had their nets spread entirely
across the slough, and whose mode of fishing
was entirely unlawful. They were tried be-
fore q Justice Of the Peace at Rio Vista yes
terday, convicted, and each one fined S65.
Fifteen more Cinnamon, arrested by the same
officer for e similar offense will be tried at
Martinez to-day. On the Sch five more will
be tried at San Rafael. The Commissioner
asserts that in Marin county alone fully 600
Greeks and Chinese earn a living by this kind
of unlawful f.hing. They have destroyed
millions of tish, and would ere long extermin-
ate some of the best food fish known to the
waters of California. The frequent raids
made by the small posse of officers, and the
certainty of conviction in each case, has
caused panic in the ranks of the law vio-
lators and has fscted the fab markets st the
Bsy considerably. The price of shrimps, for
instance, raised from to cents in one day.
The DoAN STEAM WAGoNs.-In speaking
of the Doan steam wagons that were shipped
up the road from this city few weeks ago,
the Nevada Transcript says "Doan's steam
wagons were to have been tried at Emigrant
Gap last week, but the storm delayed the
test and i. viii be made this week. A CORE
sp0ndent OF the Reno Gazette says that the
road Is completed and everything in readiness
to move as soon as the weather permits.
Captain J. H. Roberts, the proprietor, has
two locomotive wagons and thirty-two rail or
lumber wagons on the ground The cost of
the engines was SO, 900 and the wagons cost
each. The road from the mills to the
II. ser is six miles long, and the average cost
81, 600 per mile. The lumber yard is situated
point q sidetrsck has been completed over
half a mile long. The appearance of the
steam wagon is very unseemly. 1t looks like
a ship on dry land in search of water. Their
capacity is from forty to fifty tons. In Te'
hama and Colusa counties, where they were
operated, they have proven very successful,
hauling forty tons of wheat over common
wagon road, at a fair rate of speed"
BOARD OF EDUCATIONAL special meeting
of the City Board of Education was held at
the offce of the City Superintendent, DR..
Laine, last evening. The meeting was called
for the purpose of equalizing the number of
pupils in several grades where teachers had
more pupils than they could well take care of.
On motion of Director Cooke it was decided
to consolidate the two seventh grades at Six
teenth and n streets and place them in
charge of Miss Haskell. Twelve pupils were
taken from the fifth grsde-Miss Lille Blues
class-and fourteen from the sixth grade
Miss Alice Grifiiths class-and placed in
charge of Miss Piper, making an ungraded
class. 1t was also decided to confolidate the
eighth grade classes in the same school, place
it in the hands of Miss Cronemiller. and
transfer Miss Molie johnson to Fourth and
l. streets, where she will be given class made
up of pupils from Miss PAine's and Miss
Jackson's classes.
THE HIGHT Or THE SACRAMENTo.-The
hight Of the Sacramento river, as indicated
by the gauge at the foot Of X street, is taken
every day by Sergeant Barwick, Of the Sig
nal Service, and appended at the bottom of
his report, which daily appears at the head Of
the local columns of this paper. He notes
all TIRE changes during the preceding twenty
four hours Parties who complain that the
reporters do not keep the readers posted in
this respect as formerly will please take due
notice Of this fact.
Nor so IN IsYo.-Kate Wallace, says the
Inyo Independent, was convicted in the JUS
tice Court on Saturday last for selling whisky
to an Indian, and was fined $40, or go to the
county jaI for as many days. Almost every
day drunken Indians are seen on the streetg
of Sacramento, and often are taken to the
station house 10 a beastly state Of intoxica-
ton They purchase most of their firewAter
in Chinatown, but who ever heard of sn
arrest being made for this frequent violation
OF the law.
