Fred Wilcox came in from his mines
near Wheeler Pass today. He says
that last night at $3.50 he witnessed a
very strange phenomenon. Just be-
fore retiring he went to his cabin door
to observe weather conditions and was
surprised to see a complete rainbow in
the eastern heavens, where the moon
was just rising. Three companions
also witnessed the unusual sight. Mr..
Wilcox says he has been in the noun

many nights, but he never saw or
heard OF moonlight rainbow before.
He also says that prohibition prevails
in his camp. They all saw the moon
shine rainbow, but their vision was
not affected by any other kind OF
moonshine.

As the total expenses of all counties
in the state in 1922 amounted to $4,-
523,456.l7, including he redemption OF
Dor ds, it appears that the cost OF the
offices administering county govern
nlents account for about 10 per cent
OF the total certainly not an exorbl-
tant proportion considering the volume
of business which these offices trans
act; on the other hand glance at the
group tables of county expenses show
that their certain county offices i'll
some counties are administered with
remarkable economy, or the same Of
fices in other counties are run on a
scale OF extravaganza. 1t IS hardly
likely that any county in the state is
niggardly in its expenditures.
