Divorces were once granted by the
Washington legislature.
William Pickering, the war gov
ernor, in his first gubernatorial
message to the legislature, Deem
Der IL, 1862, had this to say on the
subject, 81 should be recreant to the
duties I own to society, if I failed
to call your attention to the sad and
immoral effects growing out of the
readiness with which our legislative
assemblies have heretofore annulled
that most solemn contract of mar
riage. Let me earnestly invoke you
to stay the evils, which result from
the legislature granting divorces,
thereby destroying the sacred re-
sponsibilities and duties of husband
and wife merely upon the request or
petition of one of the parties"
washington House journal, 1862
So, PIP. 1892.
Still that same session enacted
sixteen such private bills and at the
following session the Gov. renewed
his objections. In January. 1866, the
legislature enacted a law declaring
marriage to be a civil contract,
which would throw the considera-
ton of divorce into the courts.
In 1868, another divorce bill was
passed, but it was vetoed by the
governor and subsequent efforts to
revive the practice failed. The at
tempted constitution of 1873 de-
clared against such legislative d.
vorces, as did the approved consti-
tuition of 1889.

More than 152,OOO,OO0 man-hours
equivalent to the labor of SO
men working 40 hours per week
since the birth of Christ-have been
expended in the Last eight years to
bring Grand Coulee Dam to its
present stage, the Bureau of Recla-
NATION reported today.
The total is only about one-third
of that which will be required to
fully develop the various power and
irrigation features of the Columbia
Basin Project. The dam, dominant
structure of the undertaking, is now
more than SO percent completed.
Slightly more than one-third of
the workers time was employed at
the dam site, the remaining two
thirds having been scattered thru
40 states. From 1888 to October 1,
1941, more than 100000 man
hours were worked at the site of
the construction, and the remaining
96,0O0!O00 man-holrs off the site, in
mines, factories and in transporta-
ton.
