Cedar County Won
Ball Game. s

BY taking advantage of the errors
Of the Butler players the FL Dorado
Springs bunch won a ball game Sun-
day afternoon at the local park. BY
the above score. The Butler boys
were decidedly off and muffed flies
and fuinbled grounders were the or
der of the day. III
Morgan, of Stockton, was in the
box for the visitors and Howard did
the hurting for the locals and there
was little to choose between them,
each being nicked for five hits, but
the hits had little to do with the
scoring. The FL Dorado team is per-
haps the fastest fielding aggregation
that has been here this year. They
went after everything and nothing
got away.
A fairly good crowd was in at
tendance and they all got their
moneys worth as sandwiched in be-
tween the errors was some as fast
ball as could be seen anywhere. Had
the management been able to collect
from a anumber of sports who drove
their cars up the fence and enjoyed
the game without the formality of
passing through the gate, they would
have come nearer breaking even on
the game.

Osborne let Drew's grounder get

another in the seventh. After hard
run Huise dropped Drew's long fly
and Drew went to second; was safe
on third on Acock's bad throw to
Shroyer and scored OH Morgan's sac
rifice to Kershner. In the ninth the

COLD WAVE HITS THIS
PORTION OF THE STATE

A slow moving wind current came
down from the north like a thief
night before last and introduced in
the local pot pourri degree of
frigidity which is far from comfort
ing. The minimum temperature Of
the week was recorded this morning
when the government weather bu-
reau instrument showed a mark of
four above zero. Many thought it
was much colder on account of the
wind movement that accentuated.
Yesterday morning was considered
very cold, but the government rec
ord shows that it was five degrees
warmer than it was this morning,
registering nine above yesterday
against four above this morning.

HUMBOLDT IS BIC
1AxPAY|NG UNIT
Assessment Rolls Segregation Made
by Recorder Frank Cermain
Shows MoEey Disposition;
State Gets 100000

That Humboldt county is one of
the big taxpaying units of the state
was emphasized yesterday by County
Recorder Frank German, in a state
ment showing the several segrega-
tiops of the moneys that will be
collected on the 1921 tax roll. The
property valuation is $18,O52, ,26:
and the total yield of tax moneys
will be $2s7,O31.06, plus special
taxes aggregating s30,125.49, or a
grand total yield from the 1921 roll
of 17,165.05.
Of the total to be collected by
county authorities the Nevada state
government will exact from the peo-
pie of this county the sum of $685.
313.61. Contrasting with this form
of expense is the sum that will be
taken to conduct Humboldt county's
government, which is small in a
relative sense, but 6,732.73 being
exacted to pay for the several Off
cial activities carried on by the
county. Formerly this county car
ried its moneys within several funds,
including INDECENT, contingent, re-
demption and salary. Now the
money goes into a general fund,
against which warrants for the sew
eral purposes are drawn.
The county high school will cost
the taxpayers on the 1921 taxpaying
account the sum of S23, 3,467.79, un-
der the head of maintenance and
operation, while $19S5.74 will be
collected for the retirement of high
school bonds and $1444.1S for new
equipment, making the 1921 cost Of
the high school approach $4,000.
The state rate is 60 cents per
$100, the county rate 80 cents and
the Winnemucca city rate S1.28h.
The apportionment of taxes for
the several purposes is as follows:
Humboldt county schools, $751;
946.08.
Humboldt county roads, $54,-
BATS. This amount includes the
taxes collected for the state-county
highway fund, amounting to a little
over $4,000.
Winnemucca city government,
$23,S67.65.
State and county government,
$165, ,046.34.

SHERIFF BRADY HAS
ENCOUNTER WITH cHOLO

Sheriff G. w. Brady responded to
a hurry-up call from the Pasquale
hotel on Railroad street last night
and made his way to that place only
to be met by a belligerent llquored-
up Mexican, who forced the sheriff
to use his gun as weapon of de-
fense. A single blow op the Mexi-
cans head and he took the count
remaining out, to use prize ring
parlance, for fifteen minutes. When
the Mexican came to he gave the
name, Francisco Gallarzo, and
was booked at the Jail on a drunk
and disorderly charge.
Ben Vigole, another Mexican who
was with the fighting Gallarzo, made
his escape during last nights melee
but was apprehended by Sheriff
Brady and Chief X. G. Lamb this
morning, and both men are in the
county Jail. They are late arrivals
in Winnemucca from Ogden and
came here, it is asserted, to work
on the railroads as section hands.
Callarzo was fined SIS today by
Police Judge Shone, while his part
ner was let out for $40.

FORMER RESIDENT
HELD IN GE ERMANY
Went There in 1914 and Had to
Remain Through Entire War
Period and Had Many
Experiences

Miss Bertha Schimmel, who will
be remembered by many Winnie
mucca people as a former resident
OF this city, returned yesterday from
her native land, where she went
from this city in 1914 to visit rela-
tives. During her stay in Germany
the great war broke out and she
was compelled, through the stress
of the unusual circumstances, to re-
main with her family in Wurtten-
burg.
Seven years of wars horrors and
the uncertainties of postwar re-
habilitation have made a lasting inn
preston on Miss Schimmels mind.
She asserts that Germany is recover
ing its equilibrium more rapidly
than people in other countries are
led to believe and that the volume
Of production is approaching nor
NAL basis at this time. Men are
working and SO are women, and
idleness is almost unknown.
Miss Schimmel was formerly a
member of the E. Reinhart house
hold in this city and stopped over
on her way to San Francisco. She
will resume her journey to the coast
tonight.

W|NNEMUCCA- -REDD|NG PROJECT
CARRIES GREAT Possibilities
Nevada State and County Authorities Should Respond
To California and Northern Nevada Demand
for Institution of New Project

The men who direct the business
affairs of northern Nevada sense
keenly the significance attaching to
the projected road building scheme
that would connect Winnemucca
with Redding, California, with an
all-the-year road. True, the matter
has not been given broad publicity,
with the result that it is little un-
derstood in the public mind gener-
ally, yet the men behind the move
ment know, and want the northern
Nevada public to know, that an eco
nomical and entirely feasible road
project is under discussion which is
relatively more important to this
city and county than any other sin
gle proposal, if We are to except
irrigation.
The plans for the Winnemucca-
Redding road call for the improve
ment of route that would lead
from this city toward Paradise Val
ley, and although the road would
not run direct to this most fertile
of valleys, still the short distance
remaining could easily be taken care
of by county officials, after they
hade been relieved of the greater
responsibility of maintaining the
balance of the road north. The ae-
tual route proposed is made manda-
tory through an act of the last
legislature, designating what Is
known as route eight of the Nevada
highway system, starting at Winnie
mucca and running north to Toll
House, Amos, Quinn River Crossing
and to Denio, then west to Thou
sand Greek and Massacre, opening
up the rapidly developing Vya dis
trict and the 40 station to the Cali
. fornia line. 1t is stated that north
ern California is already building a
road to make the connection, taking
in the California towns of Cedar
vile and Alturas to Redding, in the
northern Sacramento valley.
Means Much, to Winnemucca
Completion of the road would
mean the linking of Winnemucca,
as trading point, with vast ter
ritory now only partially developed,
as we'll as with a great area of
virgin lands which have been re-
garded heretofore in. only a curious
manner by men, who see there great
potential wealth, but have never,
hitherto, been able to reconcile
home-building undertakings with
prevailing conditions because no out
lets are available for the production
that is possible.
The building of the Winnemucca-
Redding road would precipitate a
great influx which would bring a
large measure of prosperity to this
trading point along with the good
that would issue to contemporaneous
points in northern California, and
hundreds of families would quickly

LEASE TAKEN ON CLAIM
AT PLATINUM; HOUSE MOVED

1t was announced this afternoon
that w. F. King and F. A. Broedow
has taken a lease on the Red Boy
claim at Platinum and will proceed
Immediately to sink a vertical so
foot shaft and crosscut. King is
the man who a week ago sold the
Mary Wilder mine, while Broedow is
a mining man of southern Alaska.
The Red Boy claim is owned by
George Clark and is located on the
original gold strike of the district.
A crew of men is to be put to work
Immediately, with King in charge.
81 think that the excitement
caused by the announcement of
platinum returns has overshadowed
a worthwhile gold prospect" said
King this afternoon, "and am sure
we have a gold property well worth
prospecting. | know nothing about
platinum and do not know whether
there is platinum in the claim or
not. Platinum is secondary con-
sideration with us and we're going
after the gold. OF course, if it does
turn out there is platinum, so much
the better"
A two-room house is to be moved
to the Red Boy ground from this
city tomorrow morning, for use by
the Red Boy crew. A tractor viii
be used for the hauling.

Winter Auto Route


Not only would the proposed road
be followed by great home-building
activities, but it would be sought by
automobile travellers who go to and
from the coast during the winter
season when the high passes in the
Sierras are blocked with snow. For
years it has been the practice for
inferno untain motorists to drop
south and go through Los Angeles
on winter trips to San Francisco
and other central and northern Cali
fornia points. The new road would
command the attention of the mo-
torist as shorter and more pleas
ant way to arrive at his destination.
As a summer route the Winnemucca
to Redding road would compel at
all times the attention of the timid
drivers of cars who do not relish
the idea of driving the dangerous
mountain grades of the Lincoln and
Victory highways.
But the true value of the pro-
posed road would lie in it's great
commercial aspects. 1t would open
up one of the few remaining large
areas Of the United States, where
genuine BODYBUILDING opportunity
awaits the pioneer and its compile
tion would be very largely contribu-
tory to the future greatness of Ne
vada as state.
Should Command Attention
The state highway authorities may
logically give heed to the plan to
make the road leading north from
Winnemucca to DEMO a primary
route of the states highway system
rather than route of secondary
Importance, and state aid should he
forthcoming for the construction Of
a road that would connect with the
California highway at a point east
of Cedarville.
Humboldt county has asked for
and received little from the states
highway department. 1t is one OF
the great taxpaying units of the
state. The hope is entertained that
a full measure of recognition will
be given to the Winnemucca-Red
ding scheme
