Nominated to Succeed Col. Bixby as
President of the Mississippi
River Commission to Take
Charge in the Fall.
is AN ABLE ENGINEER
The Most Logical Man to FIJI the
Vacancy and Comes From
His Work at Buffalo
Station.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The nom
nation of Col Walter l. Fisk to sue
ceed Col. w. H. Bixby as president of
the Mississippi river commission was
sent to the senate. 1t was not expect
ed that the nomination of Colonel Blk
bys successor would be announced at
this time, but 1t is understood that
the transfer will not be made until
fall, thus giving Colonel Fisk oppor-
tunity to close his work at Buffalo,
N. Y, station, and Colonel Bixby a
chance to complete his work with the
Mississippi river commission.
Colonel Fisk, stationed at Buffalo,
and in supervisory charge of the en-
cheering work for the war depart.
ment in the great lakes, Is the fourth
colonel in the list of ranking colonels
of the corps of engineers and Is con-
sidered by his associates in the en-
gineering corps to be an able engineer,
and thoroughly deserving OF the pro-
motion given him.
The presidency of the Mississippi
river commission Is one of the most
important positions in the engineer
service, as evidenced by the fact that
Colonel Bixby, who served so efficient
Ily in this capacity for years, was
made chief of engineers, to succeed
/ Brigadier General Marshall at his re
tirement. In the war department 1t
was the unanimous opinion that
4 Colonel Fisk was by all odds the most
4 logical man for the vacancy.
4 Colonel Fisk has been at Buffalo for
the last two years. He had served
previously on the Pacific coast, having
! been stationed at Portland. He was
in Washington after that service as
assistant to the chief of engineers. He
left the United States Military acade
my at the age of twenty-three, and is
today f1fty,ve years old
In 1890 Colonel Fisk was in charge
of South Pass, on the Mississippi riv
er. and was located at New Orleans
In 1893 he was stationed at Duluth
Mimi, having charge of the work al
, Duluth and other projects in the Lake
Superior section.
In 1897 he was sent to the Pacific
coast, where he served with headquar
ters In Portland, having charge of the
Columbia river division. In 1891 ht
returned to the central west and was
stationed at Detroit, where he hat
charge of harbors on Lake Huron anc
Of the surveys of northern and north
western lake projects.
While stationed at Buffalo, in addi
tion to his duties at that point, h,
has had direct charge of work in But
falo harbor, Black Rock harbor, Fri,
harbor, Pa; Dunkirk harbor, N. Y.
Towanda harbor and neighboring har
bors, and also work in the Niagar;
river, He recently has supervised tn
construction of bridge across tn,

harbor has been very important duI
ing the past few months, in view o
