Large Number Bass
Transferred to River

Approximately 5000 fish were SEM
ed from the state fish ponds and put
into the river, near the mouth OF the
Yakima Tuesday evening. Accord
ing to Dennis Huntley, state game
protector. there will be close to
$500 surviving out Of the 1000 SEM
ed. These fish are all large mouth
bass with some having an average
weight Of from 8 to S pounds.
The transferring Of the fish from
the ponds to the river is rather a
difficult job as the temperature OF
the water in iced cans has to be as
near as possible the same as that Of
the river. This accounts for the
loss of some Of the fish in transit.
Mr.. Huntley states that there are
more fish now than he expected to
get all year and that there are more
yet to be seined from three ponds.
These will be distributed in the Yak
ina few miles further up the river

Luxuries in cara, Italy

lara, ITALY The $4,000 people
who live in this Italian city on the
eastern shores of the, Adriatic sea
probably pay less for Injuries than

In cara gasoline costs five cents
a gallon, American cigarettes eight
cents, and movies 10 cents. Cherry
brandy or Maraschino brandy,
made here, costs 10 cents a fifth,
while the best BRANDS Of whisky can
be bought for 80 cents quart. A
nickel will buy two pounds of spa

Comprising less than IS, 900 acres
and surrounded on three sides by
Yugoslavia, cara entered upon its
career as a Scotchman's paradise
in 1919 when the Italian government
decided to make it a tax-free city.
American cigarettes and high grade
alcohols soon became Zara's princi-
pal industries and the local citizen
ry, although they earn no more than
workers in other Italian towns, live
like veritable millionaires.
