EAST HARPS ON
DIVORCE COLONY

The following appeared in the
Brooklyn Eagle. No more will
incoming trains dump divorce col
%onists and carloads of trunks at the
Reno depot. for the familiar song
I'm on my way to Reno" has
been shevled by the action of 1.-THE
last legislature, when it dealt the
knockout blow, after several
rounds of a bitterly fought con.
test, in it's ultimatum that no di-
vorce proceedings shall be institut-
ed in the state of Nevada under the
existing six months residences
after December 81, next thereby
limiting the time in which new
corners could begin such residence
period to June 80.
Any divorce seeker, arriving on
and after today. July !, cannot
complete a six months residence
until January l next, upon which
date the new law requiring one
years residence before inrtitution
of such action becomes effective
which fact eliminates the one vital
feature of inducement to so many
to come here and take advantage
of the short residence requirement.
1t is reasonably concluded that
with other states nearer the east
having a similar residence require
ment, although not providing for
as many grounds for divorce as Me-
vada, and with two other states re-
curing but six months residence
the rush to this state and its not
able divorce court activities ceased
last midnight. BY 1914 the unique
Reno divorce colony will have pass
ed into history.
Fully 700 men and women, or
about 55 per cent Of the entire
population Of Reno now constitute

Not 2 per cent Of them ever remain

All the hotels are crowded as are
the desirable rooming houses.
Available cottages are almost as

MINING ERA IS ROCHESTER'S

A. A. CoGd returned from Ro-

that the railroad from Rochester to

The ore taken out above the tun-

then sink to the next level. The
