URUGUAY PLANS
MANY PROJECTS

WASHINGTON, Apr. 2.-The next
few years will afford opportunities
for the sale of many kinds of con-
struction materials in Uruguay, &C
cording to a repuort just issued by
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, department of commerce.
Uruguay is financially solid, its busi-
ness is on high plane, good work
manship is available, and there is
a steady spirit of progress.
The biggest single project now be-
ing considered is a proposal for an
international power plant to be erect
ed on the Uruguay river by Argen-
tina, Brazil and Uruguay jointly, with
guarantees for the equitable distri-
button of power to the three coun-
tries concerned. On the site being
considered it is calculated that 2,50O,-
100000 kilowatt hours per annum
equivalent to that of 100000 tons
of coal. The project contemplates
the construction of two dams, one
movable and one fixed, with canals
to the power plant. 1t will utilize a
fall of II feet. The installation
would also open for navigation 419
miles of river which today is mac
cessible, and would permit the inun-
dation of adjoining zones which are
suitable for agriculture.

BIG COAL BEDS

WINNIPEG, Man, Apr. 2.-Bitum-
inous coal deposits totalling nearly
80 million tons, and lying within
three feet of the earth's surface so
that it may be loaded on cars as
cheaply as gravel can be loaded in a
ballast pit, have been located near
Jasper Park, according to George e.
Mcdonald, general manager Of the
Pacific Great Eastern railway, who
was recently in the prairie provinces.

NEW SOLDIER LAND

VANCOUVER, B. c., Apr. Am
nouncement is made that the Kettle
Valley railway will next year build a
branch from Penticton, B. c., south
to the international boundary-35
miles, thus opening great tract of
irrigated land, which will contain the
largest soldier 1ettlement area in
British Columbia. The land will be
devoted to fruit-growing.

Other projects for the development
! of water power are also being con-
sidered by private persons and cor
porations. An official commission
has prepared plan for the irrigation
/ Of 37,000-acre tract not far from
Montevideo. to serve as an expert
ment and example. up to the pres
ent time" says the report, nothing
has been done in Uruguay in the way
Of taking advantage OF the country's
water-courses for irrigation and
power"
Fifteen cities of Uruguay are also
to install water and sewerage plants
within the next few years, says Trade
Commissit ner W. w. Ewing, who
writes the report. The pre-war esti-
mates for this work totaled about
s15,0O0,00O. In 1916, American en-
gineers contracted for the installa-
tion of water and sewerage systems
in three of the largest cities in Uru-
quay at a cost of s5,000,000. The
work was completed IL months be-
fore the contract date and the bonds
have now been retired by the Uru-
guayan government. 1t is probable
that a part of the new work OF this
nature will be given to American
interests.
There is a present need in Monte
video for a large number Of work
mems houses, for at least ID now
business structures, hotel, an opera
house, cold storage facilities, and a
number of factories, the total cost Of
immediate needs in private construc-
tion of these kinds being estimated
by architects at 100000. Within
the next few years the government
will need new and moiern edifices
n the value OF s23,OO0,0eO The
chief imports which this program of
construction will require are steel
and finishing materials.
Uruguay has local supplies Of gran
ite, marble, porphyry. limestone in
limited quantities, and cement. There
is also abundance of excellent clay
for brick-making, but'it has not been
fully Utilized. No clay roofing tiles
or sewer pipe are made in Uruguay.
All fire bricks and plaster of Paris
are also imported. There is devel-
oping demand for many types OF con-
struction tools and machinery, and
for heating and elevator installations,

known as special agents series No.

MARTINIQUE THRIvES
FROM SALES OF rum
(By Associated Press)

FORT DE FRANCE. Martinique,
Dec. 20.-Martinique is enjoying what
is characterized as an unprecedented
era Of prosperity in the history OF the
island. This is attributed to the in
crease Of business resulting from the
war. and to the high prices paid In
France for Martinique rum.
The foreign commerce of the island
increased from 100000 francs In
1913, to 246,375,3S5 francs for last
year. The figures are expected to be
oven greater for the coming year.
The farmers in Martinique have
given preference to the production OF
rum. rather than sugar since this
latter product has been purchased by
the government at only one franc per
kilo 70 2.20 pounds. However, the
trade in sugar again has been declared
free and it is expected that its produc-
ton for 1920-21 will reach about
10000 tons. During the war Martini
que obtained most of it's imports from
the United States, but purchases there

GOLD FISH CAUGHT
IN LARGE NUMBERS
IN PORTAGE river
cay Associated Press.)


PORT CLINTON, O.. Dec. 20-Many
tons OF gold fish have been caught in
the fishing grounds Of the Portage
river here. by local fishermen, during
the past few weeks Where these fish
come from Is mystery. although
they have been seen in this section
before. but never in such large guam
titles. According to some Of the fish
ermen the scattering of the fish was
found in 1913 after the big floods of
Ohio and the Lake regions, and it was
thought at that time that the fish may
have been liberated from some of the
mark and resort aQuariums, by the
overlooking of the flooded artificial
pounds.
The first fish were found In small
numbers at intervals by the fishermen
who had their nets in Lake Erie, and
an occasional fish would be brought
ashore as curiosity. Later the fish
found their way to the marshes and
inland waters Of the fishing grounds
OF the Portage river, and 1t has been
only during the past few months that
they have been caught in such large
quantities. Hauls of from a ton to a
ton and a half have been reported at a
single time by the fishermen who have
their seine grounds for carp fishing,
and these fish have apparel in large
schools, making a very interesting
sight when they are being rounded up
for the lifting of the nets.
The fish are not of the glass bowl

variety, but seem to be more of a
carp species. and will measure several
inches and weigh as much as a half
pound each. They are placed in live
cars and brought here to be loaded
into express cars and shipped in tanks,
alive, to the New York markets where
they are sold to the retail and whole
sale trade. Up to this time the local
trade has not INDUCED in the gold fish
for food product, although it is said
that the fish are of very good quail
ity, but have very fine bones.
They seem to have no trouble with
the other members of the carp family
and their habits are said to be the
same. The larger fish have the fea.
lures of a carp, with the large scales,
but a decided difference in the color
ing. These fish are highly colored in
the yellow and gold shades, with lit
tie sprinkling of red which makes
them very attractive.
Did Not Grow.
1t Is said that some of these fish
have been placed in glass jars. and
held for some time, but that they did
not take on additional size.
Charles Klingbeil Of the United
States hatcheries here, is of the opin
ion that these fish came from the
aquariums of Belle Isle and Detroit
during the flood times of 1913, and
that during these past seven years
have multiplied until the shallow wa
tiers of this vicinity have become in
habited by millions of fish. AS the
gold fish are adapted to the warmer
waters, they have found the marshes
of this section desirable quarters fol
their summer maneuvers, and during
the winter months they seek the deep
er waters of the Portage river where
they are protected from the ice ant
the freezing which would confront
them in the marshes.
