or night, for a consideration of SIS and
that he was willing to accept 81 in

The leading hotels are always crowded, and
the rents for cottages have appreciated, on the
average, to the extent of so per cent. In the last

been much greater. One cottage that rented for

authority already mentioned
Under the provisions of Section % of the

when the people Of South Dakota arose in their
wrath last November and, by a referendum vote,
declared that any one who desired to get a dt-
vorce in South Dakota would have to live there
q year instead of six months, as had. been the re-
Quirement previously, the seeker Of relief from
present matrimonial ties began to take the long
journey westward to Nevada. where it takes but
q six months residence to be in a position to go
before the courts Of the state as plaintiff in a
divorce suit.
w. H. Schnitzer. a Reno divorce specialist, has
written a treatise on divorce practice and pro.
cedure, in which he throws an Illuminating ray
on the wherefore Of the popularity of Reno as a
divorce center. He says:
While the laws Of the eastern and middle
western states generally contain some provision
for the dissolution of the marriage tie, 1T is OBJ
yious to the reade. that In cases where extreme
cruelty, Gesertion, and failure to provide form the
basis Of the grievance, the law in such states Of
fers no substantial relief to the aggrieyed party.
because the requirements of proof, duration of
sonense. confederation Of plaintiff and procedure
under court rules are SO exacting and irksome
that the desired relief sought by the applicant Is
rendered impossible Of attainment. Summing up
the situation az III exists in the eastern states
respecting the domestic relation law, the client
when consulting local counsel Is almost invari.
ably advised that upon the facts submitted he or
she Is without remedy. Here In Nevada the ap.
plicant. without deception or fraud, upon
almost any charge from which lack Of harmonious
relations may be reasonably inferred, may apply
to our courts and secure prompt results by de-
cree Of absolute divorce. valid and binding In
