SALMON
IN SA[TON SEA

Word has been received at the
Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce
that it has been definitely decided
to plant silver salmon as we'll as
striped sea bass in the Salton Sea
this fall. The plan of planting
salmon is q new one and the de-
cision to try this fish in the Salton
Sea is based on the success which
they have shown in Pyramid Lake,
New. Although Salton Sea has a
higher percentage of salt than Pyr-
amid Lake, conditions otherwise are
somewhat similar and silver salmon
have grown and reproduced very
successfully in the Nevada lake.
1t is the opinion of j. G. SEQ
field, chief of the state bureau of
commercial fisheries, that the
striped bass already planted in the
Salton Sea are still thriving, but
that not many have been seen be-
cause of the small number planted
in proportion to the size of the sea.
This belief is bourne out by reports
which have been received from time
to time at the Ell Centro chamber
to the effect that fishermen at the
south end of the sea, or in the riv-
ers flowing into the sea, have
caught sea bass, some of consider
able size.
More striped bass are to be plant
ed this fall, according to Scofield,
and experiments will be continued
until it is definitely proved or dis
proved that striped bass will
thrive and multiply in these waters.
AS much interest is being shown
in channel catfish, which appar-
emily occur in considerable num-
bers in the rivers and canals of
Imperial Valley, the state depart
ment of fish and game will i'm
mediately take steps to see that a
regulation is made to protect these
fish by naming a minimum size of
fish which may be caught and
maximum catch for one day. 1t
has been found, according to the
Ell Centro chamber, that it needs
only these regulations to insure
plenty of channel catfish for local
fishing enthusiasts.
Paintings of fish in Salton Sea
will not be made until early fall
and these fish will be protected
until of a size or quantity suffici-
ent to assure further propagation.
However, if the present plans of
the department of fish and game
are successful Imperial Valley will
have a fisherman paradise as
we'll as a hunter S at Salton Sea
within a very few years.

SECRETARY OF
 TREASURY ON
 THE h0ARDERS
Woodin Says That They Will Be Penalized If They Refuse to Turn Back Gold

Washington, March 1.-The sen- ate banking committee to-day voted to report favorably the Rob- inson resolution permitting state banks to borrow funds in the emer- gency from the 12 federal reserve banks.
 Senate action, it was announced, will be provisional on the outcome of conference with Majority Leader Robinson, it's sponsor, on whether existing law covers the scope of the resolution.
 Secretary of Treasury Woodin. meanwhile. reviewed the banking situation in a statement to the press. He said that deposits in re- opened banks continued to equal or exceed withdrawals and that the treasury would do everything in its power to prevent large scale hoard ing of gold or gold certificates.
 "It is not the purpose of the government to bother the average individual who has several hun dred dollars in his pocket or in reserve to meet normal expenses" Woodin said.
 "It is our purpose, however, to see that the hoarder who withdrew large sums in gold or gold certifi- caets Is penalized. You can be- lieve me when l say that these people are going to give up their hoardings." Woodin said that regulations governing hoarding are now being

OVER ONE BILLION DOLLARS IN GOLD l, !
 HAS BEEN BOARDED
Panicky investors in Last !. IS Months Have Grab= bed It Up All Over the WOrld-When England Went Off Gold Standard, HOarding Was Begun
BY STEWART BROWN nifedl Press Stan Correspond

' I-4~
 Geneva, March l4.-UP)- More than $1,000. 900, 900 in gold has been hoarded secretly by pan icky investors throughout the world in the last IS months, league gold experts estimated to-day.
 Every month league statisticians report several million more dollars in gold has disappeared from world circulation, It has gone into strong boxes and under mattresses, al- though recently large amount have been restored to circulation in the United States.
 The hoarding movement started late in 193t soon after England went off the gold standard. In six months of 1881 more than S$400.- 000,000 in gold went into secret hiding Fear of bank failures and currency depreciation are held re- sponsible for the hoarding which has Increased rapidly since the beginning of 1882.
 { Although there is no positive check on the amount hoarded. league experts are confident that well over u billion dollars-repre- senfing nearly two years produce tion of new gold-is resting inac- tive in hiding places. The figure does not take into account great piles of "sterilized' bar gold guard ed in banks throughout the world.
 Much of the hoarding is re- marked In Western Europe and the United States. Switzerland has a high percentage of hoarded gold.
 One Geneva banker told the Unit ed Press about one of his respected clients. Afraid of his investments. this client converted all his capital into bar gold and placed 1t in a safe deposit box Whenever he needs cash he solemnly opens his strong box and with chisel chips off a few ounces of gold and sells it to the bank. Gold. since the depression, has increased in value about 60 per cent. The chief reason for it's ap- preciation has been the sharp drop In wholesale prices the world over which has consequently driven up the value of gold. A subsidiary reason has ben the abandonment of the gold standard by scores of nations. f
