GOUT FISH CAUGHT IN LARGE NUMBERS IN PORTAGE RIVER
(By Associated Press.) PORT CLINTON, Ow Dec. 20 Many tons of goia fish have been caught in the fishing grounds of the Portage river here, ty local fishermen, during the past few weeks. Wnere these fish come from- is a mystery, although they have been seen in this section before, but never in such large Quantities. According to some of the fishermen 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
park and resort aauarinms. by the
overflowing 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 a curiosity. Later the fish found their way to the marshes and inland waters of the fishing grounds
of the Portage river, and it 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 appared 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 J
they are sold to the retail and wholesale trade. Up to this time the local trade has not indulged in the gold fish for a food product, although it is said
that the fish are of a very good qual
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 features of a carp, with the large scales, but a decided difference in the coloring. . These fish are highly colored in the yellow and gold shades, with a little sprinkling of red which makes them very attractive. Did Not Grow. It 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 waters of this vicinity have become inhabited by millions of fish. As the
gold fish are adapted to the warmer
waters, they have found the marshes
of this section desirable quarters for 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 and
the freezing which would confront them in the marshes.

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 increase 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 65.000,000 francs in 1&3, to 246,575,385 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 (o 2.20 pounds). However, the trade In sugar again has been declared free and it is expected that its production for 1920-21 will reach about 30,000 tons. During the war Martiniquo obtained most of its imports from the United States, but purchases there
are now diminishing, owing to the un-; favorable exchange rate on America j and also to the resumption -of Indus- J
trial and agricultural activities m i
France. Many commodities, with the exception of flour, exportation of which is forbidden by the French government, are now coming from France. It the present prices of sugar and ram continue, Martinique business men see ahead several years of pros-
! perity.
