The first OF series of picnics by the
Commercial club was held at Sunset
lake on Wednesday and was one of the
most enjoyable affairs of the kind held
on this side Of the county in some
time.
Visitors were present from all over
the county and the event was one long
to be remembered. The owners OF au-
tomobiles were kept busy most OF the
day conveying people 20 and from the
grounds. Everybody enjoyed the cool
ing breezes OF the lake. Boating, base
ball and dancing were among the tea
lures OF the day.
Ia the ball game such old veterans as
Paul Minckler, Isaac Byers, Finlay
Morrison, A. f. Dixon, w. II. Jobe.
Fred Giese. Herman Holmes and a
dozen more whose names we did not
get, were among those who swatted the
ball in fashion that would make Ty
Cobb green with envy. Capt. Rich
ards umpired the game in great style,
winning tire approval of the most en-
thusiastic fan. It was a great game
in fact every event connected with the
day was great and will not soon be tor
gotten

ATTITUDES IN MICHIGAN
Report Issued by United States Geological
Survey Gives Exact Elevators

1 -
The United States Geological Survey
is publishing a series OF reports con-
tanning the results Of spirlt leveling in
all parts of the country; these give the
exact elevations or altitude of great
number of points; One of these re-
ports-Bulletin 46l, Results Of Sp irit
Leveling in Michigan and Wisconsin.
1897 TO 1909. q" under X. q. Marshell.
chief geographer-ha just been issued.
The work in Michigan from 1901 TO
1909, inclusive, was done in co-opers-
ton with the State. The report gives
the exact elevations above mean sea
level of more than 800 points in Michi-
gan. Mean sea level is the level that
the sea would assume IL the influence
OF tides and winds were eliminated.
This level is not the elevation deter
mined from the mean of the highest
and lowest tides nor is it the half sum
OF the mean OF all the high tides and
the mean of all low. which is called
the hslf-tide level. Mean tide level Is
the average height OF the water, all
stages OF the tide being considered.
These elevations have been determined
by the Survey in connection with its
topographic surveying. To engineers
and surveyors this duplication should
be of great advantage as tn elevations
which have been accurately determined
afford a starting point for survey OF
any kind that may be contemplated.
The Surveys topographic maps show
a large number of elevations but these
are stated only TO the nearest foot,
whereas the bulletin gives the eleva-
tions TO the third decimal place. For
example, the highest point in Michi-
gan determined ana noted in the re-
port, which is in the vicinity OF Whit.
man. in the Marquette quadrangle, is
described as follows:
Whitman. 0. % mile south of. 3l5 feet
south of trestle over Duluth. South
Shore g. Atlantic Railway. east bound
track. on east side of Lake Superior &
Ishpeming Railway. at south end OF
rock cut and opposite milepost Q, in
outcrop of rock; aluminium tablet
stamped 1925 ADJ" l,260. $50 feet.
Maps Of the following quadrangles
wholly or partly in Michigan have been
published by the Geological survey and
may be obtained on application 20 the
Director of the Geological Survey at
Washington. ID. c., for cents each, or

special. which sells tor so cents.

HITS HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT
Lynch Takes Up Accounts Before

BUY POTATOES AT ADVANCES
Chairman OF Finance Committee says
Institution Gave Ninety Cents
when Price stxty-seeks
"No scalps."

Attack on the management Of the county
hospital was carried into discussion Of
figures and accounts before the county
commissioners Friday afternoon by John
c. Lynch. chairman Of the committee on
finance. who has been pushing the investi-
cation OF the institution.
That 500 bushels OF potatoes had been
bought at % cents a bushel when the
market price was only 80 cents. was one
Of the charges made BY the commissioner.
He said that the highest prices had been
paid for fruit. Drug bills. he declared.
were brought In months after the articles
had been used. when IL was impossible TO
check them up.
I'm not after any mans scalp" said
Lynch. looking at Thomas O'Connor. in
whose charge the hospital is but I do
want TO see these leaks stopped up"
The report returned by Commissioner
O'Connor in the investi gation instgated
several weeks ago, which came up for
discussion yesterday, was objected to by
Commissioner Lynch as Inaccurate and not
TO be depended upon. The report showed
an increase in inmates great enough TO
account for the increase in expense tina;
has marked the first four months OF the
present year.
Lynch Drought IN a Recommendation
from George Antilles Of the county audit
ing department. that the report was un-
reliable. as no daily record was kept Of
the inmates. and the total provided FOR
during the month might be much larger
or much less than any snap enumeration
taken AZ the first OF every month.
Lynch proposed that hereafter the super
intendent at the hospital be instructed to
make a daily record Of the number Of in
mates. so that at the end of the month
be could report TO the board the number
OF inmates and the number OF days each
was in the hospital.
In regard to the bills coming in late
Jeff W. Bedford expressed himself very
forcibly as always having taken the stand
that all bills should be in at the end Of
the month.
Lynch also brought up several deficien-
cies in the management OF the county
store AT South Omaha He charged that
packages Of tea. supposed to contain a
pound, were given out which weighed only
three-quArters Of pound. and that It va,
the same with other articles as. for in.
