Baer's partner, Sergeant Black, did
not appear on the platform and speak

the announcement at the opening of

But Baer knew that he was lying to

sHAD UNPOPULAR

The committee on geological in
vestigations, California state council
of defense, is seeking to popularize
the shad, which are so unappreciated
there that they are shipped east.
The shad was introduced in the San
Joaquin and Sacramento rivers from
the East between 1871 and 1880.
When not abundant it sold from
20 to 25 cents pound, and the de-
mand was great. At that time
