The Fish Com missioners planted 5000
black bass in Clear Lake a couple of weeks
ago. and last week they sent 5000 10 Mer-
ced, 5000 to Fresno and 5000 to Lemoore.
This week they have shipped 500 to Mo-
deslo for the Tuolumne River, to points in
Los Angeles County 500, to Orange County
oOO, to San Diego County 1000, TO Marys-
vile 100. and 900 10 points in Alameda
County. This concludes the black bass
shipments from Russian River for this

land-locked waters of the Russian River,
