Much Snow in

states that there is more SNOW in the
high Sierras than for many years
past. A number of sheep owners
have endeavored TO cross the summit
to this side but it has been found TO
be impossible. 1t will be late in
June before they can comee over the
mountains. This is the latest season
in many years, as sheep men gener-
ally force their way over as soon as
the range and snow will permit
GRANT states that there will be no
shortage of water up his way, in fact
there is apt to be too much OF it for
all needs.as many of the big banks OF
snow have not started to melt as yet.
He states that there is some revival
in mining in that section of the world
Several parties are developing prop
critics which give every indication of
turning into a mine. He hopes to
see general revival in a mining way
in that section.
All crops are delayed on account
OF the cold weather Alfalfa and grain
are both retarded Alpine has a short
season at best and little sunshine
would be appreciated. Mr.. Merrill
will return in his auto sometime dur

NEVADA LAWYERS AFTER
ADVERTISING BROTHER
Would Throw out Man Who Made
the Divorce Game

Since the day that Attorney
Schnitzer realized that Nevada offer
ed a splendid field for divorce busi-
ness the lawyers have been after
him. Schnitzer is a New Yorker.
He wasn't making much money in
his home town so came to Nevada.
He found that Nevada divorce laws
were such that a client could by pro-
per cause and a lawyer receive di-
vorce. He also is firm believer in
advertising which some OF the other
lawyers are not Schnitzer placed
a number of ads in Eastern papers
and on show curtains. The result
was he had about all the divorce bus
mess he could handle
Either the advertising or the big
business he built up made the brother
attorneyes jealous and sick at heart.
Schnitzer grabbed all the cases and
the others looked on There was
but one way out OF this and that was

date brother.
\ complaint was filed that he was
not acting according TO code. or
ethics. He was hauled before the
bar and dis-barred for advertising
In the meantime his good work along
the advertising line had its results.
The rush order was still on. The
other members OF the Nevada bar
were reaping the benefit OF his adver-
tising and kicking all the time
1t was later ruled by the Supreme
Court that Mr.. Schnitzer might, on
proper showing of good behavior be
re-admitted TO practice in this state.
This set the other lawyers guessing
With this live advirtiser again on
deck he would grab the bnlk of the
business He must be put down and
out.
Yesterday several Reno attorneys
filed an affidavit before the Supreme
Court in which they charge Schnitzer
with subornation of rerjury; that he
manufactured evidence in divorce
case and ask hat the court refuse t.
re-instate him.

brought the divorce. business to Ne

On the other hand LOOK over some
of the bills that the attorneys put in
relative TO court and estate matters.
They just about eat up the whole af-
fair. Ii any one wants some OF these
bills made public go and look over
the court records in the bank mat
