appears to be in really good condition
and. if he maintains it, should be a
winner.
IN addition we have a half dozen
of recruits of great promise, and al
though it is too early to determine
just how good any of them are, we are
almost Certain to get two or three out
of the lot who can be of assistance, and
if one of them is able to accomplish
anything on the sensational order
there is no telling how fast the club
may travel. Unless 1 am greatly mis-
taken, we'll make 'em all hustle to

The Telescope.

Tradition has it that about the be.
ginning of the Seventeenth century one
Jansen, a spectacle maker Of Middle
burg, Holland, constructed telescope
about 16 inches in length, which he ex-
hibited to Prince Maurice and the
Archduke Albert, who, appreciating the
Importance of the discovery, paid him
a sum of money to keep it concealed.
Another spectacle maker, Lippershey
made application in 1908 to the states
general for patent for a telescope,
as also did Metius, professor of math-
ematics, but in the former instance, at
least, it was refused, as the apparatus
was already known. 1t seems certain
that the instrument was known more
or less about Europe, but the honor Of
its invention usually is given to Galileo,
who was the first to describe the in
strument and exhibit it in complete
form in May, 1909.

County Agent ]. w. Wilson and
R. W. Rowe, photographer in the
employ of the U. S. geological sur
vey, spent last Saturday afield, the
two going into Paradise Valley to
gauge the flows of the Little Hum

The two streams are of the same
approximate size at the present
time, the Little Humboldt showing
volume of twelve and six-tenths
second feet and Martin creek
eleven and one-tenth second feet.
The figures were desired in con-
nection with the attempt under way
at the present time to fully exploit
the irrigation possibilities of the
Paradise Valley watersheds.
Mr.. Wilson is asserted to have
stood on the banks of the two
streams as he watched his CO.
worker wade waist deep into the
swirling waters in his work of get

TWO MARRIAGES
TO ONE DIVORCE
County Clerk J. w. Davey's Books
Disclose Some Interesting Facts
About Affairs Within
Humboldt County

According to County Clerk ]. w.
Davey's office records, Humboldt
county couples to the number of 18
were rendered asunder by court
divorce DEGREES during 1921. Thus
36 residents of the county were
restored to single blessedness during
the twelve-month period.
In the same period 45 couples
residing in the county were united
in marriage, SO in a comparative
sense temperamental unfitness would
not seem to be epidemic here.
During the same period Mr..
Davey issued 386 hunting licenses
and $50 fishing licenses, or a total
Of 925 licenses for the two pur-
poses. In two instances fishing IL
censes were granted non-residents
of the state who desired to whip
Humboldt county trout streams.
These were required to pay SIS in
each instance. Residents of the
state are accorded the annual fish,
ing privilege for $1.50, the same
charge governing in the case Of
hunting rights.

WINNEMUCcA BOYS VIcTORS
BY MARGIN OF ONLY ONE

The members of Winnemucca's 3
town basketball team returned Sun
day afternoon from Lovelock fresh
from the scene of a victory over
the town team in the Pershing
county seat, but they were hardly
flushed by decisive victory. At the
end of the last period the score
stood 81 to 26 in favor of the Win
nemuccans. The closeness Of the
score tells in an eloquent manner
of a hard-fought contest. The
game was played on a very rough
floor and this operated to handicap
the boys from here in their rapid
inside basketball play, for which
they are deservedly famous.
The Winnemucca team is COM
posed of the following: Walter
Harms, center; George Hoskins and
Leroy Murray, forwards; Don Rose
and H. C. Snyder, guards.

RENO STOCKMAN
FROZEN TO DEATH


The bitter cold wave that ID en-
mantling northern Nevada exacted
toll Saturday night when Don C.
Wheeler, prominent Reno stockman,
lost his life after his automobile
stalled on the desert between Ger
lach and the Donnelly ranch in
northern Washoe county. Word of
the happening reached this city yes
terday in the call for a physician
to aid the Washoe county coroner
in making his determinations.
This mornings Reno Journal had
the following account Of the desert
tragedy:
''Don C. Wheeler, prominent
young Reno business man and son
of the late "Uncle Dan" Wheeler,
froze to death on the Black Rock
desert between Gerlach and the
Donnelly ranch Saturday night, ac-
cording to reports received last
night.
ssNo details have been received as
to how young Wheeler met his
death, but it is supposed that he
met with an accident in his car
and died from exposure. Tele-
grams received last night from
Lloyd Wilson, his partner, gave no
particulars.
"Carl s. Wheeler, brother Of the
dead man, received a telegram at
$50 last evening from Mr.. Wilson
which said: Come up if you can
tonight's train. Donald froze to
death last night on desert Shortly
afterward Mr.. Wilson wired Mrs.
Don Wheeler as follows: Don stuck
on desert last night and froze to
death. We will ship body to Reno
s'These are the only messages
which have been received and con-
tain the only information available.
Mr.. Wheeler and Lytton Stoddard
left last night for Gerlach and will
return tonight with the body.
Donald C. Wheeler was born in
Reno 80 years ago. He was one
of the most popular members of the
Reno lodge of Elks, and did much
to carry on the work Of quiet phil
anthropy begun by his father many
years ago.
"Besides his wife he leaves his
mother, Mrs. Dan Wheeler, and
three brothers, Carl s., Park and
Drury M. Wheeler, all of Reno"

Of Orovada, where she has lived ur
to the time Of her death.

rious until a very short time ago
when complications set in. Hel
friends have realized the end to be
near and yet one is never prepared
to receive the shock the ending o1
such lives infiict.
The end came, peacefully, yester.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE GETS
IN CONSIDERABLE MONEY

Sheriff G. W. Brady collected
money to the amount of $1782.82
as business license fittings during
the year 1921. Although this sum
is considerable as single source of
revenue for purposes of govern
ment, yet it is asserted to be small
in comparison to the old figures
that prevailed in advance of the re-
peal of the license laws Of the state
by legislative action. This action
occurred four years ago. In ad-
vance of that time all businesses
were compelled to pay county IL
cense.
