WILLIAM GRIDLEY'S FATE.
An Effort Will Be Made to Secure a
Pardon for him.

William Gridley, the hoary headed
millman who was convicted in Judge
Borden's court of the theft of two gold
watches from a jewelers. store on Third
street, was sentenced to one years i'm
prisonment in San Quentin by Judge
Borden yesterday. A stay of execution
granted for ten days.
In the meantime an effort will be made
to induce Governor Budd to pardon the
prisoner. The jury which convicted the
old man ana Judge Borden have signed
the petition for pardon and, many in
fluential citizens have interested them
selves in the case, it is hardly likely that
the sentence will be carried into execu-
ton. That Gridley was guilty of the Of
tense for which he suffered conviction is
admitted by all, but as he stole the
watches in order that he might buy
food and save himself from starvation,
no one is anxious or even willing to see
him suffer in prison.
Arthur CerVantieS, convicted in Judge
Cooks court few days ago on a charge
of grand larceny, was sentenced to ten
years in Folsom yesterday. The crime
for which the prisoner must go to the
penitentiary was the theft of a horse
from the stables of the Preside and Fer
rieS Railroad Company.

FISH CULTURE ON
THE PACIFIC COAST
MUCH ATTENTION PAID TO
SALMON AND OYSTERS.
The Federal Commissioners Report
Recognizes the Importance Of
These Western Industries.

An interesting report of the work of the
United States Fish Commission has been
forwarded to the California Fish Com
mission, in which special reference is
made to the fish of the Pacific Coast, and
what has been accomplished in the West
in the matter of keeping up this food
supply. The propagation and distribu-
ton of food fishes, the work of which
has received more attention than in past
years, has exceeded by about 40 per cent
what has been accomplished at any pre-

largest collection of salmon eggs known
in the history Of fish culture was made
in the fall of 1897. The report says:
Especially worthy of mention was the ex-
tension of the salmon Matching work on the
Pacific Coast. The enormous catch in that
region makes it absolutely necessary that the
supply should be kept up by artificial means
The work of the commission is very popular
in the West and it's value Is generally recog-
nized by the salmon fishermen and Gamers

lively pushed and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the take of salmon ova will be even

California and Oregon the plants being
guarded by the local authorities during the
time required for their naturalization and
propagation. In order to determine the condi-
ton of the introduced oyster the commission
detailed Professor Washburn of the Oregon
University to visit and report the beds.
Professor Washburn's observations, extending
over the years 1897 and 1898. show that all the
planted oysters have survived and grown, al
though there are as yet no evidence Of in
crease in numbers
