Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fanciers Journal and Poultry Exchange, Vol. 2 The United States Fish Commission recently sent California salmon from Niles, Mich., to Texas, for stocking the Brazos and Colorado rivers; they were in charge of Mr. Fred Mather, assisted by Mr. Chas. Bell. The route was via St. Louis and Sedalia. In the Indian Territory the water was so strongly impregnated with alkali, that they dare not use it, so they resorted to aeration by draining off the water and pouring, until recharged with oxygen. This, and the changes of cars ia' the night, kept them awake four consecutive nights, and they were quite exhausted when they reached Austin, but delivered their fish in fine condition.
