Allowa in Northern California where the

Allowa in Northern California where the
bluebacks are very plentiful during certain
months of the year. The Sacramento
salmon, which is known as the qulnnat,
is a very common fish and can be found
III any of the large rivers north OF this
as far as our waters.
'In Idaho there is a variety OF the
salmon family known as the Redh n,
which affords grand sport 10 anglers. 1t
has q companion which is small fish
that resem bles it in almost every par
ticul,,r and is known to ldahoans as the
Yank The 'Yanks' spawn and live all
the year round in the lake. and presume
that is he reason why they 10 not grow
to a large size.
az think that the Fish Commissioners
of this State struck the right idea when
they decided TO plant the young of the
salmon in the streams contiguous 10 The
ocean. The recent planting OF s. s'veral
thousand salmon Try Ill the Olema and
Paper-mill creeks and the Russian River
has already shown signs OF vast i'm prove
ment over the old style Of planting, which
was in the headwaters OF rivers distant
hundreds of miles from the ocean,
A bottle containing two salmon fry was
exhibiten. One of the fishes, which was
only a few days ago taken from the
Olema hatchery, measured about one
inch in length; the other, taken in the
tidewater of Paper-mill Creek, measured
three inches in length and was singllarly
deep n proportion to its size. Two months
d o he young quinnat salmon were liber-
a.ed from the Olema hatchery, and If all
or good part of the ones that were given a
chance TO rea CHI their native element have
done as well as the fry which was caught
a few DAYS ago in the brackish waters of
the stream, il i. safe to say that the Fish
Commissioners have experimental with
remarkably good success.
Tne professor said that four varieties OF
salmon are found in the Sacramento River.
The dog salmon-a worthless tish-enters
The river in S ptember and spawns in
October and November. In fact, he re-
ceived some fry of the dog salmon which
were taken from Scott Creek, a small
stream in Santa Cruz County.
Yes, We can segregate the salmon fam
lily and distinguish the varieties easily"
said the professor. but | cannot saw the
same for the trout of the coastwise
streams.
Professor Jordan and myself have
time and time again discussed this trout
question, but candidly speaking we are no
nearer to an opinion than We were wien
we com menced.
Possibly the steelhead and the so-called
rainbow are one and the same kind, but
cannot say positively that this is fact.

citation.
Handel's Oratorio G v.n With a G cd
Chor -To.Night's Con.
cert.

1t Was a very small audience that Nine.
Genevra tombstone Bishop captured at
Metropolitan Temple last nigat, but such
as it was the Chicago singer may be said
to have owned it from the time she sang
her first solo in Handers good old Mes
siah"
Nine. Bishop is the star attraction of the
California Musical Festival Association,
but so modestly has that organization
hidden its light under bushel that the
general public was scarcely aware that a
musical festival was to be given at all.
Even amateurs of oratorio had scarce ly
realized that Nine. Bishop had already
arrived. The quiet way in which the asso-
citation has gone about its work was no
doubt responsible for the homropa thi C
quantity of audience present last night
Those who did attend can congratulate
themselves upon having heard a rarely
accom- plished singer.
Last nights concert consisted OF the
Messiah, with chorus augmented by
contingents OF vocal IS from San Jose,
Sacramento, Alameda ard Oaklard
James Hamilton Howe, who conducted,
had drilled and arranged the chorus,
which was unusually well balanced for
an organization consisting chiefly of anna
teurs. Ali four parts did good work, the
q
and the tenors and altos bearing their
iull share of the work.
The chorus that went with the best pre-
cision, spirit and attack was. "All We
Like Sheep Have Gone Astray," but all
the cho-uses reflected credit on the singers
and on the conductor.
In addition to the full chorus, there was
a semi borus, consisting of twenty-four
voices.
Nine. Genevra Johnstone-Bi Bishop, who
! made her first San Fran cisco appearance
| last night, is q soprano of whom verv fat
| tering accounts have been heard, and she
| soon proved that nothing too much had
| been said in her favor. Her voice is fu II
| and sweet. with a wide com pass, and both
| in cantabile and in horid passages she
uses it excellently. In the forid em broi-
deries of "Rejoice Greatly" she was as
| much at home as in the more feeling
| Come Unto Him" Every note was
rounded and sweet. and the execution was
| brilliantly clear cut.
| endowments, Nine. Bishop has the true
| oratorio breadth and dignity of style. 1t
was a matter of regret that she omitted
How Beautiful Are the Feet" for al
| though the Messiah" is almost invari-
| ably given with cuts, that gem IS seldom
| omitted.
Nine. Moeller, the contralto, has a SYM
| pathetic voice of true contralto quality,
| and she sang well, but her voice was
| scarcely powerful enough for the build
ing.
The bass role presents vocal difficulties
| with which Homer Henley was not BILE
| TO compete successfully. He sang "The
People That Walked in Darkness we'll,
but the more fiorid roles were rendered In
| a slovenly manner.
Frank Coffin, the tenor, sang with ex-
preston and good intentions. but his
vibrato units his voice for oratorio.
There will be concerts both this after.
noon Gnd evening at Metropolitan Temple
| when Mime. Bishop will be the cniel
attraction.

The Spring Va ey Water Com.
pany Redeems the Promises
1t Made.
Urging the City to Improve Its Lot on
Kentucky Street for Municipal
Economy.

There is a general tone of progress no.
ticeable all about the Potrero district dur
ing the past three months.
The rolling-mills started up Yesterday
after being shut down for several weeks.
This placed about 500 men to work.
The Union Iron Works is up to its eyes,
so to speak, in getting out the plans and
specifications for the two warships, one
for the Mikado of Japan, the other for the
white navy.
The Spring Valley Water Company has
redeemed its promise 10 build reservoir
on the crown of the southern heights
The company has fifty men at work there
preparing the foundation for a steel tank.
The taxpayers and property-owners on
the line OF Kentucky street have been
commenting upon the policy of the
Supervisors in paying rent for old wooden
shanties for he use of the police station
and ire-engine apparatus when the CITY
owns a lot on the southwest corner OF
Kentucky and Twentiet tn streets. 20ox2OO
feet square, upon which building sulIi-
cient1y commodious to house both
branches of the City's service could be
erected.
The rock and earth on this lot can be
removed without expense to the tax
payers, as several persons have asked per-
mission from Lieutenant Bennett of the
Police Department to take away the rock
for filhng-in purposes about the water
front.
Another need of the Potrero police
station is the locating of a patrol wagon
for the southern side. This is made ap-
parent every day by the urgent calls sent
into the Southern Police station at Fol-
som street for the wagon to remove per-
sons injured at the various industrial
establishments about the Potrero places
where there are over 5000 persons con-
stantly employed about ma achinery, which
is liable at any time 10 injure those con-
nected with its operation.

he testified that Senator Fair came 10 his
house on the 18th of Septem ber 1894, and
remained there six days. Before he went
any further the court INDUCED In the
usual noon recess.
The examination of Cassou was re-
sumed when court reconyened for the
afternoon session.
How do. you remem Der that Senator
Fair went to your hotel on the 18th OF
September, 1894?" was Mr.. McEnerney's
question.
"Well, had bir party coming to the
house at that time" replied Cassou. 81
was taking care of the Masons, who were
having time there. l was arranging a
banquet for them. l was very busy at the
time, and remember very well that L
conId not give Senator Fair the rooms he
wanted"
How do you know that be left the
honse on the 25th OF Septe IN ber?"
"Oh, it's down on the book remem-
Der it very well''
Here Mr.. Delmas arose and asked Cas-
sou # he was swearing that the alleged
fact that Senator Fair left on that date
appeared on his book
mo, it's not on the book, said Cassou,
contradicting himself. But l RENE mber
so very welI.''
The hotel register was here produced
and Mr.. McEnerney made an effort to have
1t introduced in evidence. He met with
an objection, however, from tie defense,
the ground taken being that, while the
fact that Senator Fair registered there
was not disputed, the allega ton that he
did so on the 18th of Septe m ber, 1894. did
not appear in the book. Mr.. DeImas, who
presented the objection, called attention

ran out of black ink and made all OF his
entries in red ink. He produced the CASH
Dook and showed these entries. There
was also an entry there dated Septem ber
~ and written in black ink, meant 10 show
that Senator Fair was given two rooms on
that date, and opposite this IN red INK
80, the amount Cassou claims he was
paid by the Senator on the 18th Tor his SIX
days lodgings at the hoIel. THIS book
was also shown to the jury, the defense
oHerlng no objection.
Cassou seemed 10 be productive OF all
sorts of reminders of the Oath OF Septem-
Der and the days Immediately pr ced ing
and succeeding 1t as long as he remained
III the hands o! Mr.. McEnerney. After the
cashbook and Its vari-colored entries he
produced a document showing that he
registered as qualified voter in San Ra-
fael on the 24th of September, and this
also went into evidence without encoun-
terlng any objection, Mr.. Delmas re-
marking that, as it could nave no bearing
upon Mrs. Craven's deeds, its introduction
conld certainly do no harm.
Mr.. Delmas now took hold OF the hotel
man, and learned from him that it was
not the custom of all persons stopping
at the Partisan Hotel to put their sigma
lures on the register. The witness said
they could register if they wanted to or
leave the book alone, as he was not par
ticular.
Counsel then went after the witness re-
gardlng his memory. Cassou suffered
IKE other witnesses in this respect. While
ne could remem Der yividly nearly eyerv-
thing that transpired during those six
Gays that Senator Fair was at the hotel,
even 10 the details of conversation he
had had with Judge Coffey, still he could
not guess within two weeks when the
Judge next visited San Rafael, and could
recoliect absolutely nothing of subsequent
conversations he had with him.
Ihe register was again referred to, and
Mr. Delmas wanted to know something
about the signatures of w. p Lawlor and
San Rafael lawyer, which appeared Just
beneath the signature OF Senator Fair.
Cassou SAID these names were written
there some time after the death of the
millionaire. They said they represented
the executors of the Fair estate After
their visit the witness wrote the marginal
entry opposite Senator Fairs signature
This late entry comprised the disputed
date "Septem ber "a, 1891" and was writ
ten. as near as Cassou could remember on
the 1st of June, 1895.
WAS Senator Fair well man when he
was at your house that timer" asked Mr..
Delmas
mo, he was sick sometimes" was the
reply.
What was the nature of his sickness?"
He had the asthma-he could not
breathe. One night he was pretty bad.'
WAS there anything else the matter
with him that you know Off"
Il knew of nothing"
Cassou was still on the stand when court
adjourned, so he will probably be asked
lew more questions to-day.
The San Francisco call., 1897-04-28

to the fact that marginal memorandum,
written long after Fair registered, was all
there vas In the book TO show that he did
so on the date in question. This
memorandum was acknowledged not to
be In the hand writing of Fair.
Nobody has denied that Senator Fair
was in San Rafael on the 10th of Septem-
Der, said Mr.. Delmas. This will not be
disputed, either, so why all this parade?"
Quite little talk followed, in which
the court and Messrs. Delmas, ,ano McEner-
ney participated, and it was all about the
admlssibility of the register. Judge Slack
finally decided that he would allow the
book in. but said he would reserve the
right to change his ruling and strike out
the evidence if he should discover later
on that he was in error.
MIR. McEnernev then read off the names
appearing on the page where that OF James
G.Fair and his valet appeared. The page also
showed that JudgeJ. V. Coffey and "Iere"
Co11ey were cavorting over In San Rafael
ABOUT that time, and must have been hav-
ing sport with the nai1ves. judging from
the manner in which they registered.

Mr.. McEnerney now essayed to hand the
book over TO the Jury, but Mr.. Delmas op-
posed this course because he said, he be-
lieyed the plaintiffs we're not sincere in
their statement as to what was intend ed
to be proved by Inc signatures.

men on the other side evidently think,

ing 1t after we have admitted that he was
there on that date. What they are trying
TO do is to show that Judge Coffey was
there"
"As l understand it," said Judge Slack,
1T is being offered to prove that Senator
Fair was there"
VERY well then, il that will hold good
we Will offer no further objection to the
register" said Mr.. Delmas. "All we
wanted to know was just what the other
side was eDdeavoring 10 do"
The register was passed over to the jury

OF Cassou was resumed. In answer to
further inquiries ne said ne mad distinct

memory being brushed up by reference
to his cashbook-because :on that day he
