TO ABATE NUIsANCEs.

The Board of Health held a special
meeting last evening for the purpose Of
transactfng accumulated routine bust
ness.
A number of complaints about the I'M
sanitary condition of Japanese bath
houses were read. Health officer O'Brien
stated that it was his intention to close
all such lighthouses which do not comply
with the sanitary plumbing laws of the
Health Department.
A complaint read about the nui-
sance created by the existence of a cat
tie corral at n street south and Thir-
teenth avenue south brought forth a res
olution by DR.. Fitzgibbon condemning
the property. The resolution was unan-
imously adopted.
DR.. Bazet presented a report from DR..
Kellogg in which it is shown that The
beds at the City and County Hospital are
a culture place for all forms of bacteria
On motion 1t was recommended that the
Board of Supervisors be petitioned to
build a sterilizer for the purpose of dis
injecting the beds in a proper manner.
Health officer O'Brien suggested that
some provision should be made by quar-
antine fumigation to prevent the spread
of cerebro spinal meningitis. He said
the number of deaths from this disease
had increased from four in October to
fifteen in February.

Vast Herds Injure the
Fish Trade.
R0oKERIES TO BE RAlDED
GAME COMMISSIONERS BELIEVE
TT IS NECESSARY.
The Views of Commercially Interest
ed Parties Will Be Obtained at
a Special Meeting to Be
Held Soon.

The State Board of Fish and Game
Commissioners are seriously contemplat-
ing a raid upon the great herds of sea
lions along the coast for the purpose of
reducing the number. This subject was
literally discussed at the meeting of the
board yesterday and the sentiment was
that these animals are getting too numer-
Gus for the good of the fishing industry
of the coast. Secretary Babcock called
attention to the vast number of sea lions
scattered the entire length of the coast
and their destructive habits. From what
he can learn an able-bodied sea lion de-
stroys from 100 to 200 pounds of salmon
every day during the run of these fish
to the spawning grounds. When the num-
bers of these beasts are taken into con-
sideration the loss of fish must be greater
than all that is taken for the canneries
and consumed in the State.
Commissioner Vogelsang stated that the
sea lion has no commercial value and
consequently has been permitted to null
tiply until the numbers are so great at
all of the rookeries that the time has
come for the commission to take some ac-
ton. The average weight of these ami
mails is about 1900 pounds, but there are
not a few of the old males that will turn
the scales at two tons. Reports from the
pilots and captains of coasting vessels
show that the shores north and south of
here and at the Farallones are alive with
the useless creatures. When the salmon,
which the State and nation are propa-
eating at great expense at the several
hatcherieS on the coast, start to run to
the spawning grounds the sea lions hast
en- to the bays and rivers in large num-
bers and many big fellows have been
seen as far up as Sacramento destroying
the spawn-laden fish. The fishermen of
the bay and rivers have good cause to
complain. One of the creatures will kill
every fish in the nets in less than five
minutes and every year they. destroy
hundreds of dollars worth of\valuable
nets.
When the run is on the sea lion does
not eat all of the fish he kills, his favorite
amusement being to kill by biting a
piece out of each fish and leaving the re-
mainder for the seagulls.
Commissioner Gould emphasized the
fact that If the destruction of these ami
mails is decided upon none must be
touched near the seal rocks, as the law
eral opinion it was decided to call spe-
cial meeting in the near future, to which
viii be invited all interested in the matter
of the destruction or preservation of the
useless sea lion. Nearly all of the promi-
nent fish packers and fishermen, as well
as the professors at the colleges, will be
asked to be present and give their views
of the proposition to- reduce the herds
within fifty miles of this city, barring
those at the Cliff. It is conceded that all
commercially interested will turn their
thumbs to the ground on the proposition
and pass the sentence of death upon the
creatures that destroy such vast quaint
ties of food fish.

the Chilkat began TO go down. THE
steamer was rolling at a great rate"
said he but paid no attention to that
as 1t is a customary thing on the Hum
boldt bar When a big sea came along
and flooded my cabin l thought it was
time to get out, however, so 1 put on
life-belt and made for my door. 1t was
fastened, so 1 turned to the window.
The steamer was then almost lying on
her side, so I had no difficulty in getting
out. Then I found Steward Bohall and
together we got into the boat. The
next time I go to Eureka I will go by
train and stage. No more Humboldt
bar in mine"
It was Assistant Engineer Clyde
Lightner's watch off. so he was in his
room when the ship began to go down.
Seaman Black was also on duty around
the deck and neither of them had any
difficulty in getting into the port boat
as she lay alongside. AS they pulled
for the open sea, however, and saw the
seas rising up like mountains
neither of them thought his life was
worth an hours purchase. One mo-
ment they were tossed away up toward
heaven on the crest of mighty billow
and the next instant, like an arrow
from a bow, they would shoot down
into the depths. It was a perilous
time and a fitting conclusion to the
dangers escaped.
The rescued men cannot speak too
highly of Captain Bash and the crew
of the North Fork. Everything posi-
BILE was done for them and ten minutes
after they got aboard dry clothing Of
some sort was provided for each one
AS the North Fork came alongside Mis-
sion-street wharf there was an anxious
crowd awaiting her. Friends and rela-
tives were there and some of them
broke down when their last hope was
gone. Captain Anderson's sister-in-law
was among the number. His widow
was at home Frustrated by the news
that her husband was among the miss
ing When the sister learned that Cap
tain Anderson was undoubtedly
drowned she tainted away and had to
be carried to a hack and sent home. A
few minutes later the survivors of the
Chilkat disaster started for the agents
office on California street to draw some
of their pay and the crowd that had
assembled to see them land drifted
away in search Of another sensation.

densed cream, 20 boxes apples, sacks
tallow, 40 bundles hides and bundles
furs, besides a quantity Of mis-
cellaneous freight Considerable of
the butter and some of the condensed
mix and cream has already come
ashore, but the greater part of it has
been carried off by the salvers. The
butter, it is understood, was shipped
principally by the Riverside creameries,
while the milk and cream came from
the factory at Loleta. The shingles
were shipped from the Baird mill.
The wreck now lies about a mile
north of North Jetty at how tide. This
morning it was high and dry. APP
parently all the steamers upper works
had been carried away. and nothing
now remains but her original low hull
turned bottomside up, and out of which
it is believed the machinery has
dropped. Still there is possibility
that there may be a body or two be-
meath these planks, and tomorrow it is
the intention of the life-savers to cut
a hole in the bottom of the hull and
make an exploration of it's interior.
Public sentiment here is strong that
the Government should award medals
to Miss Lillian Shumway, Mrs. Captain
Hennig and Mrs. Mclean. who, with
Rev. P. E. Peterson, rescued the three
men on the beach. Medals should be
awarded to these three women, who at
the risk of their own lives rushed into
the breakers and dragged three men
from the very jaws of death.
The Standard says tonight edi-
torially
If some criminal negligence is not
chargeable to the officers whose duty
il was TO inspect the Chlkat and see
that she had proper boats, life pre-
servers and other appliances for saw
ing life in case Of shipwreck then we
are badly m!snfolmed. The life pre-
servers which came ashore were
water-logged and one of them was a
good load for a man to lift. Instead
of cork the manufactures had used
tules, which absorbed water and soon
became absolutely worthless in the
water Who inspected these life pre-
servers am placed the Government
approval upon them? Such appliances
are worse than none, and 1t should
be considered criminal negligence en-

house watching to see if anybody
wanted assistance. The mate and two
passengers were standing by a boat
and I suppose the captains intention
was to get into it. However, about
two minutes later the ChilBat was
broken into kindling wood and 1 sup
pose the captain was killed in the
wreckage.
Second Mate Charles Clyde and
three sailors were down in the hold
looking after the cargo. You see, some
of the stuff was liable to shift in the
heavy seaway and if not attended to at
once the vessel would take list that
would instantly prove fatal While
these men were nobly attending to
their duty the Chilkat turned over, and
1 suppose they lost their lives among
the shingles.
Il had been four months on the Chill
kat when she started on her last trip.
l did not like the Humboldt bar and
never stayed below when we were
crossing it. Night or day, rain or shine,
/ was always either on the upper deck
or on the bridge when we were passing
in or out. I knew every time we crossed
the bar we were taking chances. but
you bet was taking as few as possible.
The whole thing happened in eight min
utes. From the time the first roller
struck her until she was strewn in
kindling wood on the bar the second
hand had only time to travel eight
times around its dial, so you can i'm
agine how quickly the whole thing hap
pened. At eight minutes to II last
Tuesday morning there was probably
not person aboard, outside of myself,
who had a thought of danger, let alone
death, and yet at II o'clock a. m. eleven
of them had passed to the bourne from
which no traveller returneth. It was an
awful catastrophe and came with awful
suddenness."
Howard Smith, one of the passengers.
was in his stateroom lying down when
