            This gentleman is a native of Albany, New York, and has followed the 
railroad business for a quarter of a century, in various capacities of trust and 
responsibility.  He is now the railroad agent at Willows.  He first came to the 
coast in 1857, and resided at Reno, Nevada, for some time before coming to 
Willows, in 1881, and has been station agent ever since that time, first at 
Maxwell and afterwards at Willows.  Mr. Wickes, as a citizen, is closely 
identified with the progress of his town.  He is a strong advocate of county 
division, and thinks that with an increased area of horticultural cultivation, 
the new county would be one of the richest in the State.
