In presenting this little book to the public, we desire to have it understood that it is not for glory or renown, but for the sake of those strangers who visit our fair city and incidentally for the few shekels we get out of the advertisements....

Now there are a few other features connected with this house which is worthy of mention and which visitors should not fail to see. One of these is the famous hula hula dance performed by the Misses Bessies and Edna. These young ladies are a perfect dream when in the mazes of this oriental dance. Their general beauty, symmetry of limb and finely shaped bodies moving with undulating grace produce a sensation not soon to be forgotten.

H: I'll tell you what you could do...If you didn't want to take a chance on the heat in Barstow you could go to Phoenix."
D: "Oh yeah? But that goes through Barstow according to the map I have.
H: "Well, you take it to Needles..."
D: "From Bakersfield?"
H: "No, from Phoenix. You go back to Needles and then that way you're back inside, you're back east of Barstow."
D: "Well how do I get to Phoenix in the first place?"
H: "You ride the S.P. down."
D: "Oh, well I thought they were even worse."
H: "Well I've never had trouble."
D: "I guess it depends on which yards you're in..."
H: "When you get..Well I'll tell you the way I look at it...these damned guys that...there's a lot of 'em puts the heat on theirselves. You know what I'm talkin' about...They get out in the damn yards, rankin' and fuckin' around out there, they can see they got wine bottles and all that...and the bulls don't want 'em in there...I've always heard how bad Bakersfield is, but I've never been bothered there, not by the S.P. or the Santa Fe."

"There was a big crowd gazing at me wasn't there," he exclaimed, and then smilingly continued "Well, perhaps some of them will think me half man now; everyone seems to think I was some kind of animal. " He did look human indeed, but there was nothing very mannish about him in appearance, for he looked and acted like a mere boy. He is about five feet eight or nine inches tall, slightly built and lithe, weighing about 140; a frank open countenance, looking like a school boy, with the traditional silky fuzz on his upper lip; clear blue eyes, with a rougish snap about them; light hair and complexion. He is, in all, quite a handsome looking fellow, the only imperfection being two prominent front teeth slightly protruding like squirrel's teeth, and he has agreeable and winning ways.

I refused to believe the evidence of my senses, and asked Cushing if that were really human urine. "Why, certainly," replied he, "and here comes more of it." This time, it was a large tin pailful, not less than two gallons. I was standing by the squaw as she offered this strange and abominable refreshment. She made a motion with her hand to indicate to me that it was urine, and one of the old men repeated the spanish word mear (to urinate), while my sense of smell demonstrated the truth of their statements.
The dancers swallowed great draughts, smacked their lips, and, amid the roaring merriment of the spectators, remarked that it was very, very good. The clowns were now upon their mettle, each trying to surpass his neighbor in feats of nastiness. One swallowed a fragment of corn-husk, saying he thought it very good and better than bread; his vis-a-vis attempted to chew and gulp down a piece of filthy rag. Another expressed regret that the dance had not been held out of doors, in one of the plazas; there they could show what they could do. There they always made a point of honor to eat the excrement of men and dogs.

Gravel in the kidneys or bladder. Cut a radish in four parts, steep it in white wine, add two drams of powdered broom seed, a few drops of lemon juice. Allow it to stand twenty-four hours. Drink a half-pint of said wine, for even though the stone may be larger than a lemon, it will dissolve it.

I have earned much money with this remedy. It should be written in gold letters.

The type of drift bottle to be used was determined by two considerations: the area of the region to be covered was large and the available funds were limited...the bottles used were 12-ounce wine bottles of rather heavy, clear glass. Three operators could prepare an average of 400 bottles per day.
DISCUSSION
The results of this method show that drift bottle methods are not the most practicable means of determining surface flow in the southern California region.
