G. e. Porter of the Union Oil Com.

bailed out we should have a pro-
ducer," he said.
The rotary rods were lost in the
Union hole on July 26, of last year

BISHOP HUNTING IS
/ EASY DIVORCE FOE
Gambling Also to Receive Atten.
3 tion at Next Election, But
Episcopal Bishop Will Gen.
ter Fire ON Divorce


"How is your paper going to
stand on the divorce question this
fall?" was the blunt question of
Bishop G. C. Hunting of Reno, in
charge of Episcopal church activities
in Nevada, who arrived here this
morning accompanied by Rev. Ster-
ling John Talbot, the new vicar for
the Winnemucca Episcopal church.
Z "There will be two propositions
on the ballot this fall concerning
divorce in this state. Should the
people vote for either the whole
matter will be tied up until 1928.
/ believe they should be instructed
to vote no on both propositions SO
that we will not be gagged for six
years.
81 am going to have out an ini-
tiative petition asking for re-enact-
ment of the 1918 law requiring a
residence of one year in this state
before divorce actions can be filed.
During 1921 there were 1000 mar
riages and 1880 divorces in Ne
vada, the highest proportion Of di-
vorces to marriages in. the United
States. Should this be true Of all
places there would soon be no homes
left.
Humboldt county's record is not
as bad as some Of the others, there
being 45 marriages here last year
and only IS divorces, but in Washoe
county there were 466 marriages
and 836 divorces. In Reno alone
there were 1850 divorce suits filed
during 1921 and the balance of
these are still pending. This one
county divorced more people than
were married in the whole state.
81 am not opposed to divorce and
know of people who should be d.
vorced but aren't. l think divorce
a good thing when rightly applied,
but Nevada is the only state in the
Union now requiring only six
months residence for divorce. All
the rest of the states require from
one to three years residence. I do
not like to see the state of Nevada
at the very bottom of the social
ladder.
Gambling is also to be given at
tention this fall, but I will not give
that matter the attention / will de-
vote to the divorce evil. There is
a man in Reno named Lasher who
has the gambling question well in
hand. He had out petitions last
year and will have again this year.
Conditions over the state, as l
see them, are very favorable at this
time. Mining seems certain of a
general revival, you people here
should be well pleased with devel-
opment in the cattle, sheep and wool
markets, and ranchers of the west
ern part of the state are optimistic.
In Ely I am told some of the mar
ried men are being put to work and
all look for things to open up there
within the next few months. There
is great activity on the Comstock
and it is being freely prophesied
that another year will see Virginia
City greater than Reno in the mat
ter of population.
Rev. Hoering is getting along
fine physically and has lost much of
depression that followed loss of his
sight. He is in Berkeley studying
the Brazil system for the blind, that
he may read by the touch system
and be prepared to go ON with his
church work." :

1t was a limited chorus. consisting of
