WESTERN MICHIGAN APPLES AHEAD
THEY HAVE SIZE, FLAVOR AND ARoMA-sHlPMENTs TO FL
LAND NEXT YEAR

Why should the young farmers, or
some older ones, migrate 10 the far
west or Canada to start for them
selves? Why not stay in state that
has all the advantages. and none or
the disadvantages. where they can live
within a few hours journey OF the
entire west Do not overlook your
own state for opportunities when they
are right at your door.
Western Michigan has taken the
initiative in good roads-mud giving
away to macadam roads.
There is some fine, rich land In Ma
son county that Will make excellent
farms The same can be said of the
other counties comprising the Western
Michigan territory In many localities
the forests have disappeared and
beautiful homes have taken the place
OF the cabins. The telephone is here
and the rural delivery brings our mall
TO the door.
Printed matter has been scattered
throughout the state telling or the
wonderful advantages OF certain re-
gions OF the west. Why should a farm
err exchange the moderate home and
wholesome climate OF Michigan Tor
disease and heat of the south or the
disadvantages OF Canada? Many men
see opportunities only on the distance.
To such the lure OF the south, the east
and the west appeals, and many nave
been attracted from Michigan and have
realized, when too late, that they have
exchanged pleasant country for an
other In which the conditions were
harder.
A man can achieve in this great fruit
growing state as much or more than
he can in the east west, north or
south. The lands respond to cultiva-
ticn. the climate is equabie and he has
transportation facilities that mean
much when II comes TO shipping pro-
ducts to market His children have
the advantage OF an excellent public
school system, and his family have OPP
portunities for entertainment ana
recreation which might be rare In
new country.
Every argument is on the side or the
man who remains In Michigan.

Milo Dewitt Campbell started in life

T|MELOCK ACT
IS NOT EFFECTIVE

The question as to whether the
new six-months time lock act does
away with the original divorce law
in this state will be definitely deter
mined in the appeal of the suit OF X.
NJ. Fleming against Mary c. Fleming
to the supreme court of Nevada BY
C. r. Reeves, formerly district at
torney of White Pine county but new
practicing law in Reno.
The case promises to bring some
interesting constitutional points be-
fore the court of last resort. The
Fleming case was filed by Reeves
on January Is and on a full showing
of the details of residence here be-
fore Judge Orr an order to serve
summons by publication was denied
for the reason that it did not appear
that the plaintiff had been in Washoe
county continuously for six months
before filing the complaint.
The plaintiff appealed from the
order, and now seek to show that as a
bona fide resident under the old law
he is entitled to a hearing. In brief
it is contended that the six-months
time lock act is unconstitutional be-
cause ii seeks to declare a residence
recognized by the United States as
sufficient to count in securing citizen
ship insufficient to confer rights in
the state, thus discriminating against
a prospective citizen and impairing
the force of the naturalization laws.

CHARLESTON HILL
CASES ARE SETTLED

After litigation continuing for two
years past, stipulations were finally
signed in Reno Tuesday for the
settlement of the law suits arising
from the Charleston Hill Mining COM
pany's affairs near National and it is
believed the mines will now be de-
veloped with energy.
The settlement includes the term
ination of four suits and is said n
place the control of the company III
the hands of Warren, Hartley, Riae-
hart interests and the present cor
poration directors instead of in the
hands of J. r. Lorge & Co. inter-
ests as it was in the beginning.
The Charleston Hill company. 1t is
stated, was originally incorporated at
1000, 000 shares. OF this the Lorge
interests had ZOO including So.
600 shares claimed by George w.
Hartley Is a commission for obtain
ing the property. When Hartley de-
manded his salaries he was compelled
to sue to obtain them and in the first
suit obtained an order for the shares
The company then sold 100, 00c
shares TO Mrs, Bishop and this sale
when attacked by the Lorge interests
was sustained. Another sale of 269.-
600 shares was made which was al.
tackled and settled by the return Of
100000 to the treasury and the keep
ing by Warren of the SO, 900 shares.
The Hartley stock was delivered
Tuesday and the DEGREES were agreed
to by Platt and Gibbons representing
the Lorge interests and Cheney, Don.
ner. Price and Hawkins, representing
Warren. Rinehart and the Charleston
Hill company.

ELKO GAMBLER
IS CONVICTED
SENTENCE OF ONE YEAR N
STATE PENITENTIARY Is M
POSED ON JACK MAHER By
JUDGE SOMERs OF GOLDFIELD.

Jack Maher. convicted by a jury of
a violation of the anti-gambling law,
was sentenced by Judge Sommers to
serve one year in the penitentiary at
Carson.
This is the first felony sentence for
violation of this law since its passage
in January 1909, and it follows a
previous unsuccessful effort to con-
Wet on similar charges in Elko coun-
ty.
Maher was the roulette dealer ar
rested at the time of the raid on the
ocean to Ocean" party in Elko on
July % last. The four members of
the automobile party were released
on bonds of $3.50 each, which they
forfeited, but Maher vas held to trial
At the first trial A. c. Johnson and
Albert Foregor were tried on a
charge of conducting a faro game,
but they were acquitted by the jury
on their claim that the game was not
a bona fde game but more a demon
stration of gambling as it formerly
existed.
The case has aroused widespread
interest as it furnishes the first COM
plete test of the anti-gambling law.
Public sentiment is divided on the
law and already petitions are being
circulated for the parole of the
prisoner. Some of the signatures to
the petition include the members of
the jury which convicted Maher.
Under the new criminal practice
act 1t is said to lie within the power
of the judge in passing sentence to
suspend its operation under parole
and in this theory the friends of the
convicted man are working. How
ever, it is said, hat having passed
sentence the judge is now without
further control of the matter and APP
plication for parole must be directed
to the board of pardons.
Judge Somer's Remarks.
The court in passing sentence On
Mr.. Maher said;
"Mr. Maher you were tried fairly.

in your defense. They have done
everything that lawyers could legiti-
mately do. 1t is seldom, indeed, that
a man charged with an offense has
counsel so able to defend
him. Consequently it is a great
satisfaction to the court 10
know that your rights were fully and
ably protected. The jurors that tried
you were and are your ~neighbors.
They were men of intelligence and of
high character. And | want to say to
you that it was a pleasure to the
court to look into the faces of those
men in the box. feeling that they
were men who could and would do
you no wrong. and feeling that they
would not see the law violated wan
tonly. | felt that the state was abso-
lutely safe, and that your rights
would be fully protected. Under
