SALTON SEA May
BECOME INLAND
FISHERY CENTER
"Dead Sea" of America Holds
Promise As An Inland Fish
Center. Science ArnUes tie
Pelicdns Planted Sea.

The possibility Of another and even
larger industry in the Imperial Valley,
which promises to swell the revenue
of the valley merchants many mi
lions of dollars each year, came to
light few days ago, when H. C.
Daniels, head of the California Fish
and Game Commission, with head
quarters in San Francisco, made the
startling announcement that soon
carp and other salt water fish will be
in the Salton Sea in such large num-
bers as to warrant the establishment
of marketing facilities capable Of sup
plying the entire state with sea food
The announcement of the state
commission has attracted q great deal
of attention throughout the country
and number of national publications
have devoted a great deal Of space to
the adventure.
The mystery surrounding the man
ner in which the fish got into the
Salton Sea yet remains unsolved Two
theories have been advanced by geo
logists to account for the appearance
of the mullet in the Salton Sea. The
first is that they swan from the Gulf
of California into the fresh waters
of the Colorado river, and were car
ried down to the Salton Sea at the
time of the 1905 flood. This theory,
however, does not seem aCcaDtable in
asmuch as the fishermen declare there
is no authentic rcord Of The salt water
mullet swimming up into the fresh
water of streams.
The second theory, and the mora
PLAUSIBLE one, according to scientists
is that the Salton Sea was stocked
with fish by the white pelicans. Thesa
great birds came to the Salton Sea il
great numbers following the overflow
of the Colorado river, we are told b.
pioneers who have been in the valley
since that time. They reared their
young in the banks of the new founG
Gulf of California for food, The
young birds thrive on the fresh eggs
but doubtless many of the egg;
brought over by the mother birds
never reached the mouth of then
young For had other been the case
the Salton Sea would still be th'
Dead Sea of America.
The reason for accepting this the
ory, SCIENTISTS explain, is because G
the fact the white pelican is known K
have filled isolated mountain lakes il
this same manner.
AS early as 1912 men began to Sc
the possibilities of the Salton Sc
fishing industry. A company was or
ganized in Los Angeles in that yea
with the idea Of commercializing th
fish for iol and fertilizea. Havin,
built the necessary building, installe;
machinery, and launched boats for tn,
purpose of catching the fish, the plan
was unable to operate, because of it
inability to secure sufficient fish.
In eight years, no doubt, as the fisl
multiply very rapidly and the pelicani
too have increased their numbers
and have brought more fish eggs It
the Salton Sea, decided increase il
the carp and mullet families is no
/ improbable.

CHILD LABOR
IS REDUCED
Deessass Of More Than 40 PEI Cent
Under New Law

Child labor has decreased more than
40 per cent since the child labor tax
provision of the revenue act went into
effect April % last. This act levied
tax of 10 per cent on the net earnings
of plants employing children under IA
years or between a and 16 for more
than eight hours in the production of
commodities entering into interstate
commerce.
Reports of internal revenue bureau
agents, it Is announced, Indicate that
the greatest decrease has occurred in
the cotton mill industry Of the south
ern states where, it is said more than
IS per cent of the mills now are oper-
ating on a basis that exempts them
from the tax. Marked reduction in
child labor also was reported, it was
said, in the coal mining and canning
industries. Many plants. particularly
cotton mills, have discharged all chill
dren under 16 years of age. the report
said, rather than adjust the operation
to an eight-hour day.
