State Game Warden c. w. Grove,

State Game Warden C. w. Grover
was an arrival from Carson City this
morning. and tomorrow he and Mrs.
Grover, Road Supervisor and Mrs.
Shirley. and County Game Warden
Fec will go to Jarbidge. Before his
return Mr.. Grover will visit the vii.
low Creek dam on the road from Tus.
carora to Midas. For some time there
has been more or less discussion Of
the question OF placing a flsh ladder
at this dam. II Is claimed by some
who profess to know that II would be
impossible TO maintain an adequate
ilsh ladder at this dam due to the
fact that the dam Is very high and
the water above II varies many feet
in depth. We understand that the
fish commission may arrange TO take
spawn from the lake next spring The
fish in tho lake are native Humboldt
trout and spawn OF this variety is now
very hard to get.

TEAR SHELL USED
IN ANCIENT FOOTBALL

Harry Stevens. veracious and ency
clopaedic chronicler of Yale sports for
the last thirty years and regularly on
duty instructing the Ellis in ancient
history every night from midnight to
1 "A. m, recently explained the origin
of the lachrymose (or tear producing)
shells so popular in the only sport
that counts today.
Many. many years ago. when foot.
ball WAS football, team came Ia
New Haven from an institution where
the popular melting cries on the gri
diron are "Briskly. fellows, briskly"
"On the qui yive," But in those days
things were different.
One Of the visiting team (rough
necks they would be called by their
sons OF today came armed with a
pocketful Of red pepper. At the right
moment he registered a hit with his
formidable missiles in the eyes of the
Yale lincmcn, cfrcctually staving off
defeat and so upholding the honor of
his Alma Mater.
This, says Harry, who has never
been known to be wrong, gave the
Germans the idea for their teal
tear shells.
