NORTH CAROLINA AND THE Dl.
H VOICE LAW

In his message to the North Caro-
lima Legislature. Governor Aycock
makes vigorous recommendation for
reform Of the divorce laws of the OLD
North State He declares that the con
science of the State recently has beer
greatly awakened in regard to the
matter. and that divorces have become
SO frequent as TO threaten to under
mine family life. The action urged
by the governoris the repal of all law;
creating cause of divorce other than
those in the code of 1883, it being held
that wctllocls ought. save for Scrip.
tu!al causes. to be inviolable.
II the North Carolina lawmakers
follow the advice Of Governor Aycock
that States divorce laws vii! be prac.
; tioaliy the same as those Of South
Carolina, which now make the Scrip.
tural cause the only reason for di-
vorce. There are indications that the
governor is right in assuming tina.
public opinion has ben aroused in con
Ascticn with the affair. There ha.
been such remarkable increase in
the number Of divorces granted. due
probably to the fact that they may be
secured with little trouble and at small
cost. that the people at large have been
forced face the issues involved, ana
they arc beginning to realize that
something more than the whims and
fRncjes OF isolated individuals are in.
viewed Upon that basis there should

evil
It is to h. hoped that North Caro-
lima will amend It's divorce laws in ac-
cnr''arcc with Governor Aycock's s,ig-
geation and that Virginia will fall int,
line with her two sisters to the south.

HEAVY TRAVEL TO YOSEMITE
Roads Offering Usual inducements to
Tourists

Ideal weather and roads in perfect
condition in the Yosemite valley have
made possible the opening of the park
this year at an earlier date than usual
and last night the first Los Angeles
partv of the season left Los Angeles
over the Southern Pacific for Wawona,
from where an entrance to the park Is
made by stage coach.
Both the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe railroads are offering their
usual special facilities for reaching the
park and the officials of both systems
predict that the seasons tourist travel
to the valley will far exceed that of lay
previous year.
From Los Angeles the Southern Pa
cific is running a special car on Mor'-
DAYS, Wednesdays and Fridays of each
week. This is attached to the Owl and
is put on a siding on reaching Ray
mond, from where the journey to Wa
wona, thence to the park, is made by
stage coach.
At Wawona but four inches of snow
fell during the winter, while in the
mountains surrounding the Yosemite
valley the fall of snow was unusually
heavy. This insures a large amount of
water for the falls, which are expected
to retain their beauty until far into the
summer

LOCAL EXPERT TO
STUDY GARBAGE
R0DERlCK M'KAY TO INSPECT
EASTERN PLANTS
Council Adopts recommendation Of
Three Organizations Naming
Man to Tour Eastern
Cities

Roderick Mckay, a well known local
mechanical engineer, has been named
by the chamber of commerce, the Mu-
nicipal league and the Merchants and
Manufa cturers association as their
choice to go east and investigate sys-
TENS of garbage destruction there in
operation for the city of Los Angeles
and to report the result of his investi-
cations to the council on his return.
At last weeks meeting of the coun-
Gil a resolution was passed deterrnin-
ing the fact that the city would send
a man east to investigate such sys-
TENS and asking three organizations to
name the man. The recommendation
naming Mckay was unanimously
adopted by the council and definite
action on he subject was deferred for
one week.
Roderick Mckay who lives at 922
East Twelfth street, was much sur
prised to hear of his selection last
night, saying that he had heard moth
ing concerning the case. He was
highly recommended to the three mu-
nicipal bodies by Superintendent of
the Water Department Mulholland and
many other engineers. He has been a
resident of Los Angeles for nearly
seventeen years and is now engaged
in business as a structural contractor.
For thirteen years he was the struc-
tural engineer of the Los Angeles
Lighting company, and all of the en-
largements and Improvements put in
by the company during that time have
been under his direction.
C. d. Willard expects to leave for the
east on business trip in a week or so,
and ne said yesterday that if he had
the opportunity he would investigate
methods of garbage destruction en-
ployed in the cities he visits, in order
that he may report to the Municipal
league and also give the council what
ever portion of his findings they may
desire.
Rudolph Herring of New York, who
is an engineer of high standing and
who for many years has made a
speciality of the subject of garbage de-
struction, Is expected to arrive in Los
Angeles within the next few days, and
it Is planned to have him meet with
the garbage committee of the council
and give such facts as the members
may desire, and also any other infor-
nation that in his opinion bears on
the local case.

HAVOC WROUGHT BY
STORMS IN MOUNTAINS
J. J. Lonergan Tells of Trip Which
He Made to Inyo
County

II stood on the summit of the Pana-
an elevation of ZOO feet" said j. j.
Lonergan yesterday, land could see
Mount Whitney in tlfe north, elevation
14,SOO feet, and below me lay Death
valley $50 feet below sea level" M.
Lonergan and his friends, F. A. Sic
bert, a mining engineer, and James
West water of Ohio had spent ten days
in the mountains and desert looking
after mining property, returning to
Los Angeles yesterday.
They experienced nearly every type
of weather-snow, rain and sleet, ani
lust missed a destructive cyclone that
swept around the mountain peaks and
through the canyons. On every hand
was visible the results of the storms
of the past few months in the mountain
region, great gulleys cut in the road
ways and huge boulders dislodged and
sent tumbling down the mountain sides.
MIR. Lonergan says that the story to
the effect that a rough and lawless ele-
ment from western Nevada had drifted
down to the mines in the Panamint
range district and had robbed and killed
prospectors is wholly without founda-
ton in fact-that the miners in Inyo
county are law-abiding and that there
have been no murders or robberies that
he could hear of in any of the sections
he and his party visited.
