DAKOTA'S DIVORCES
DON'T COUNT IN IOWA
Supreme Court of Latter State Holds
DEGREES of Former Are Void.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April 17-Pity
the poor IOwans who have been grant
ed divorce in the Dakotas Judge
Weaver, of the supreme court, has
made trouble for them. beside which
the inconvenfefice Of d divorce suit
is as nothing.
Dakota divorces are invalid in Iowa.
That is the decision switch he handed
down today in the case of -Beeman- VS..
Beeman, lin (which he's helds that the 'di-
Vorced husband must pay to his di-
vorced wife one-ha1f of the fortune
which he has amassed since
their divorce went upon the records Of
the courts in South Dakota.
In the face of, Judge Weaver's de-
cision Iowans can no longer HE them
selves to the Northern. prairie land TO
obtain freedom from their marital
troubles. Separations granted by ac-
commodating Dakota courts are not
legal. in 1.-THE opinion Of Justice Weaver,
when they are. secured by Iowans.
The decision in the Beeman divorce
case, which Justice Weaver has invali-
dated at the request Of the wife, is SEN
satiOnal for the reason that it pavCs
the way to endless trouble for a num-
Der of Iowans who have been divorced
in the DakotaS, and have married again
upon the strength Of the validity of the
separation thus secured. Justice Weav-
er holds that residence in either of the
Dakotas for the statutory period is not
satisfactory evidence of q bona fide
change of residence.

AS to bathing, Cass Lake claims the

sand, extending gradually into the lake,
where bathers can wade out for hum
dred yards or more if you care for it.
Magnificent specimens of the pine
tree, in fact the finest pine forest in
the state, are here to be seen, as we'll

turbed the primeval grandeur of these
noble forests. In the hunting season
moose, deer, bear, timber wolves, lynx
and. a variety of smaller game are to
be found in the nearby forests and
upon the island in the lake. Boats,
bait and fishing tackle are to be obtain
ed at any time during the summer sea-

cost can always be secured by those
who desire them

the cutting of this timber here will
make very important industry for
years to come. 1t is estimated that
there are at least 1000, OO0,00O feet of
timber tributary to Cass Lake. In an
article elsewhere some interesting in
formation is given about the opening of

The city has a large sawriil employ

be rebuilt on an even larger scale, and
this is but the nucleus of a very large
milling industry which will center in

principal points, giving 1t very much
the form of a star.
A dense growth of Norway pine and
hardwood trees covers the island, max

island is distant some two miles from
the boat landing at Cass Lake city, and
is easily reached by means of steamers
or launches. Star island covers an
area of twelve or fifteen miles in ex-
tent. Within the island is another lake
perhaps a mile in length and nearly as
wide. There is no visible outlet nor
inlet connecting Lake Windigo, as the
smaller lake is known, with Cass lake,
