Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Brooks are
spending two weeks vacation at Rock
Point. Col" Brooks, as he is more
Familiarity known among the local
Waltonites, reports that he is having
plenty of sport on the river. although
none of his friends has received
any surprise fish consignment.
Several Westinghouse who went
to River Springs during the past
week to catch fish were disappoint-
ed there. but at Tony Schrofe's place
on st. Patrick's creek, about mile
and half away, met their hearts
desire. Col. John Hurley: who was
in the party, suggested the visit to
the Schrofe fishing place. The host
took the party out on the Potomac in

Reports that a seventy pound
catfish With brood of youngsters
made domicile in a whirlpool several
hundred yards below Great Falls
reached a local nf97cA
this week. Howard Delaney, an en-
ploye on the paper. and also a lover
of fishing, heard the story and de-
termined to capture the prize cat
could make the haul. With ropes for
fishing lines and window weights for
s1nkers he proceeded to the falls early
Tuesday morning.
All day he patiently sat upon a small
rock closely watching the six lines
he had cast into the swirling water.
All day, he said, the giant catfish and
the young fish played polo" with
the large pieces of old beef he had
for bait. But night came on and the
fish failed to bite.
Mr.. Delany claims that he saw the
giant cat swim round and round In
the swirling waters, and several times
tried to tease him by leaping high out
Of the water into the air and back
again. He is determined to catch the
prize, he said, and next week will
make another attempt.
Richard Conner. secretary Of tho
Washington Board of Trade, who has
been cunning on the branch every

sportsmen say they have never seen
SO many reedbirds as there are on
the branch this year "At Capt. Ed.
Mazzilo's boathouse at Benning
bridge" he said, there were few
small bags turned in on opening day.
The very few ortolan or sora that
were killed were in very poor condi-
tion."
A large catch Of fish was made
Tuesday by Marchant Gibson, thir-
teen-year-old son of a Washington
newspaperman. who went fishing at
Newhaven Inlet, near Virginia Beach,

catch.

Standing Of the Teams.

War Risk did not start much like
runs in the opening inning. However,
it was a different matter in the fourth,
War Risk getting six counts in that
period. That settled the scoring, as
neither club was able to send a man
across after that.

batting with two bingles.

the same club also was good.

nurses NOT FAIR
IN CHARGES MADE

Complaints to the effect that special
nurses who have gone out into the
State have overcharged for their work
and otherwise acted unprofessionally
in certain instances. have been made
to relief organizations at Reno, and
an investigation Of several specific
cases is now being made by the Red
Cross and the Reno Nurses Associa-
tion.
According to complaints filed, cases
are on record where nurses sent out
of the city have changed exorbitant
fees, one complaint making the state
ment that a nurse demanded and
actually received S15 day for TAX
ing care of an influenza patient where
the family were compelled by circum-
stances to pay her demands. Another
complaint charged a woman who
claimed to be a trained nurse with
neglect and with abandoning her pa
tient before recovery.
In most of the instances complained
of the nurses were not regular local
nurses, but were persons who had
recently come to the city or who Of
fered their services.
A thorough investigation of the
cases will be made by the two organi-
cations named, and steps will be
taken to prevent any unprofessional
conduct in the future upon the part
of nurses detailed upon special work
out in the State.-[Reno Gazette.

WATER HOLES OF
DESERT INDICATED

The United States Geological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior, has
surveyed and signposted a great area
of the most dangerous desert region
of the United States. The thirty
ninth annual report of the topographic
division Of the survey, just made pub
lie, describes the method employed of
making the desert safer for the un-
wary traveller
The region surveyed occupies about
$4,000 equare miles in southern Cali
fornia and southwestern Arizona. In
California it includes the southern
part of Death Valley and the region
between this valley and the Mexican
border; in Arizona it includes the re-
gion west of Tucson and Phoenix and
south of Wickenburg and Parker. This
region was selected because it is the
driest, hottest and least explored part
of the desert region, and also because
of the strategic Importance of obtain
Ing information on the water supplies
along the $50 miles of national from
tier that it includes.
The field work was done by four
parties, each of which consisted of
one geologist and one nontechnical
assistant, outfitted with an automobile
and light camping equipment. Prac-
tically all watering places in the re-
gion were examined, about $50 sam
pies of water were collected and
shipped to the water-resources labo-
ratory at Washington, DC, for analy-
sis, and a general exploration was
made of the geography, geology and
ground-water conditions of the region.
The maps prepared and the data OBJ
tanned were made available to army
engineers for incorporation in the
progressive military may of the United
States. Guides with maps are being
prepared for publication.
Signs directing travellers to water
were erected at 167 localities in Cali
forniafornia and 1873 in Arizona. The
signposts are galvanized iron, Is
inches in outside diameter and IL feet
long. Each post is anchored in the
ground with two redwood blocks. The
signs are 1S-gauge steel, galvanized,
are white, with dark-blue letters, and
are substantially bolted to the posts
They are of two sizes, Is by 20 inches
and 9 by 20 inches. Most of the larger
signs, of which 40 were erected, give
the names, distances and directions to
four watering places; most of the
smaller signs, 165 of which were
erected, give the names, distances and
directions to two watering places.
The work done last year is a part
of comprehensive plan for mapping
and marking the watering places in
the entire arid region lying east of
the Sierra Nevada and Cascade noun
tains and west of line running ap-
proximately from eastern Oregon
through Salt Lake City and Santa Fe
to the mouth of the Pecos river.
