As a conse- quence, the scientists will always have useful scientific material on which to base judgments as to the characteristics of this largest member of the cat family found in the west. STORM DAMAGE. The storms of February not only over- flowed levees, inundated farms and caused thousands of dolars damage to agricultural interests, but it swept away and severely damaged various racks used by the De- partment of Fish Culture in trapping fish for spawning.

The damage will hamper spawning operations and probably reduce the take of eggs for the season. AN INDIAN BRUSH DAM FOR THE TAKING OF FISH.
