Shaler Berry, eldest son of Congressman A S Berry, yesterday received notice that he had been appointed to an important and lucrative position in the service of the United States Government. He was appointed Commissioner of Salmon Fisheries and assigned to duty in Alaska.
The appointment was made by John G Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury and without any solicitation on Mr. Berry's part of that of his friends. Colonel Berry opposed the appointment and urged on Shaler to decline it, but Shaler has telegraphed his acceptance. The appointment was made upon Shaler's qualifications, he having graduated from Harvard College with high honors in the mineralogy and aquariums.
Shaler leaves tomorrow evening for San Francisco, where he will be joined by the other two appointees and with them will proceed to Sitka Alaska. The duties of the commission are to protect the salmon fishing in the American waters at Alaska. The slaughter of this fish has threatened to exterminate the species and the Government has sent representatives there to prevent the extinction. The salmon fishing season is soon to commence and lasts five months. At the end of the season Mr. Berry will return.
