WOULD ABOLISH
 DIVORCE INFLUX

SEATTLE, May 14.-Declaring that hundreds of persons flock to &c., attle each year from every section Of the United States and from Canada to obtain divorcas under the favor able statutes of Washington, Eugene A. Mcacham, divorce proctor, has ap- pealed to the King county bench and bar and to Federal officials to aid in checking the granting of fraudulent separations.
 Fraud in swearing in a divorce complaint to the one-year residence in the state required by law Is the most common offense, Mr Meacham said. One woman admitted. he said, that she had maintained her resi- dence in Vancouver, B. G.. during the entire tendency of her action, that she had never been resident of Washington, and that she came here only to sign the necessary papers and appear at tho trial of the case. Scores of Canadian residents he said, had violated tho law in virtually the samo manner.
 What he described as a virtual system of trial marriage" where at tempt is made to secure diyorces through the conniyance of both par ties without real cause soon after marriage, is another evil discovered by Mir Mcacham. He declared that nearly every possible ground for di- vorce is recognized by Washington courts. A great many. he asserted, hre granted under the "cruelty" and "personal indignity" statutes.
 eff you come home little late at night and your wife raises only an inquisihye eyebrow when you say you have been working. you have suffered personal indignity," he ex. plaincd.

DoCKTON

Dockton was started in 1891
when two tugs lowed a floating
dry dock from Port Hadlock, and
owned by the Puget Sound Dock
Co. to that location. The site was
owned by W. II. Fife of Tacoma,
and made an ideal site for ship
repairing, Capt. Deloy was man
ager of the dock. When Capt. De
Lyon sold his interests to a
Tacoma company, Capt. Anderson
was manager. He was followed
by Capt. Jensen and later by Pete
Manson. The dock was sold to the
Heffernan Dock Co. of Seattle,
where it was taken and where it
is still in operation.
A. j, Stuckey, who was a fore
man shipwright, remained and
opened a repair plant which is in
operation at this time with a
good clientage. He also builds
many wooden boats.
Dockton's growth and progress
has been hindered by the lack of a
highway. If the proposed road is
constructed it will do much for
the town and community.

OPERETTA A SUCCESS.

Those who attended the pre-.

Nautical Knot" put on by the
-Vashon- Maury Island Amateur
Operetta society, OH Thursday and
Friday nights, certainly enjoyed a
feast of music and humor. Under
the skillful and untiring direction
of Mrs. A. w. Ganly the appear
ance OF the operetta has grown to
be feature 10 which all look for,
ward.
1t is difficult to particularize
when all parts We're so well sus-
tanned. David Cook as Bill Salt,
could have hardly been excelled.
Mrs. Tjomsland as the spoiled
belle, Julia, was up to her usual
high standard. Kenneth Van
House admirably represented the
aesthetic artist, Barnabas Lee.
Mrs. David B. Cook was very APP
pealing Nance and Mr.. Ganly as
Joe Short, the mate, gave finish
ed presentation. What sailor
couldn't love Daisy, Dora and
Della as characterized by the
Misses Blekkink, Gilbert and Ma
gowan? Messrs. Martin, Steffen-
son and Woods demonstrated cor
rectly how it should be done.
The choruses were beautiful and
admirably sung, and the pretty
ensemble appearance was colorful
and pleasing.
The orchestra, assembled from
the four corners of the island. de-
served and received most graft
flying appreciation.
The wGter scene, painted by Mr..
Damn of Vashon, added greatly to
the beauty Of the stage setting.
The sunset effect between the first
and the second acts, thrilled the
audience.
Last but not least, the sailor S
"hornpipe,'' as danced by Miss
Irma Casperson, introduced an
other new feature of local talent.
Thanks is due to A. N. Sanford
for the loan of the artists stools
made in his shop, and to Mrs. j.
Pfund for the basket of flowers
picked fresh from her garden.
The operetta was presented to
good houses, and was well receiv-
ed both nights. AS almost every
one had friends in the cast, it is
to be regretted if any one had TO
miss it.
At the beginning of the per-
Torrance Friday evening, the
members of the cast presented
Mrs. Ganly with lovely bouquet
as a token of appreciation.
