His record as Governor has been
! clean, and his handling of measures
which came under his notice, has
been of that nature which can only
be expected from a man so honest
able and intelligent as c. Douglass
Buck has ever been.
Reno
The people of the State of Ne
Vada will never be forgiven by the
men in all parts of the country for
passing such laws which allows a
woman or man with a residence of
six weeks to secure a divorce. We
can see the effect of such a law in
the rush of women and men to Reno
seeking for the dissolution of the
marriage ties.
The men are badly scared as the
ladies in asking many fayOrs of their
husbands, if refused, simply say to
them, will start for Reno-that
seems to settle the matter, and the
ladies have about everything their
own way, and receive more favOrs
from the male sex then ever before.
The men are more cOnsiderate in
every way, being more prompt at
meal time, and where they used to
spend the evenings at the country
store, can now be seen at their
homes enjoying the time with their
families. 1t is a wonderful change
The cry "On to Reno" seems to do
the work.
Forest Fires
Forest fires seem to be raging in
several parts of the United States.
New York seems to be hard hit at
the present time, where thousands
of acres of forest land are being
burnt over and the trees destroyed.
Delaware for the past few years
has had its share of forest fires.
where many hundreds of acres of
timber land has been destroyed and
it will take long time, if ever, to
replace the depleted forests.
we have had could be traced to en-
gines on railroads, Illicit stills or
Of incendiary origin.
Delaware seems to be trying to /,
induce the farmers to plant their
waste land in some kind of trees
Ind are offering as an inducement to
exempt the land for the period of
thirty years from taxes.
This will allow the growing tim
ler to yield a profit.
We understand that many of our
armers and others who own waste
and will take advantage of the
States offer and will in the near
uture plant their land in trees, and
II this way help to restore the de-
Ileted forests of the State.
At Slaughter And
'edar Beaches
The large seines which are used
or fishing for trout or weak fish
re being put in condition at
slaughter and Cedar Beaches.
These two beaches seem to be the
principal ones where trout in large
uantities are caught by the fisher
nen in their seines.
Fish are not so plentiful as they
Iere few years ago, when q haul
cine would land at least one thOus- ,
nd or fifteen hundred baskets of
rOut and the sale at that time being
limited the farmers would haul the
sh home and use them for fertil-
,er.
1t is very different now, as trucks
re on the beach throughout the
easOn and take the fish to the city
larRets, where they are sold at a
rOft.
In old time twenty-five cents and !.
Ome times they would reach fifty i
ents for bushel of trout, but now
ley often sell for four or five doll
Lrs per bushel. They are put up at 4
lctiOn, the highest bidder being the {
Iyer. E'
If fish are scarce there is great
between the buyers, and
le wonderful prices which the fish {
ring make it fine for those who
ave them to sell. +,
