Work of the Fish Commission.

The United States fish commission steamer
Albatross sailed from Port Townsend W.T.. for
Departure bay, en- route for Behring sea,
August /.
The United States fish commission has two
of its cars employed in the distribution of the
indigenous fishes of the Mississippi valley, the
work being done under the direction Of Dr. s..
p Bartlett of the state commission, Quincy,
ILL.,, who is acting in the matter as the agent of
the United States fish commission. These
fishes include the crappie, spotted cat, white
sun fish, and are collected at this time of the
year from the overhows Of the Mississippi and
Illinois rivers made by the freshets in the
spring. Were it not for this work of the COM
mission the fish would be total loss, as the
ponds and pools from which they are taken
would dry up in the autumn. The work will
continue for about three month";, and is becom-
ing more important every year.
