The San Francisco Bulletin of last even
ing says: The Fish Commission difficulty
has not been settled. Judge Wallace, in
dismissing the charges brought by ]. D..
Redding against Commissioner Routier. to
declare the latter the usurper of the form
er's position in the Board, has, in the opin-
ion of some of the interested parties, left
the matter where it was before action was
taken. 1t is stated that T. J. Sherwood, a
member of the original Board, will act with
Mr.. Redding and J. X. Orr, appointed by
the Governor, and that meeting for organ
ization will be held on Friday for the pur-
pose of taking charge of the fish interests
of the State. Mr.. Routier, however, does
not, 1t is understood, propose to give up the
fight. Mr.. Orr was appointed by the Coy
ernor recently to succeed J. Downey Har-
vey, of Los Angeles. 1t is thought that
Mr.. Harvey will make no contest regard
ing the appointment, and it is believed by
some that the contest for the office between
Mr.. Redding and Joseph Routier, of Sacra-
mento, is practically abandoned. though
Others are confident that Mr.. Routier will
not yield, and that an injunction will be
served on the three Commissioners when
they meet on Friday.

branches of pisciculture. All the present
Commissioners appreciate the importance
of their Office in this State, of the need of
proper methods for the propagation and
protection of food fish, and the general
spirit manifested is to begin active work in
this direction as soon as possible. There
are many things necessary to be done dur
ing the coming spring. The Commissioners
desire, rs one of them expressed it. to be-
gin - with clean slate, and work for the
best interests of fish culture in California.
Over fifty persons have applied for the
office of Chief of Patrol of the Commits
sion, made vacant by the recent tragic
death in this city of ]. w. Village. The
Commissioners are astonished at the great
number of applicants. The appointment
of a man to fill this Office will be one of
the matters to come up at the meeting on
