NEVADA TO KEEP
DIVORCE TRADE
Legislature Passes Measure Restoring
Short Residence Term Which
Was Popular.
CARSON CITY, Nev., Feb. 24.—
The measure amending the divorce
laws of this state, which was passed
by both the upper and lower houses
after a determined fight, was sign
ed by the governor last night. The
new act provides for a six months
•residence in the state after divorce
proceedings have been filed before the
final decree can be granted, thus put
ting the law on the same basis as
two years ago.
The divorce law was amended at
the last session of the legislature
making the legal residence one year
in the state. It has been found that
Nevada has lost her trade of furnish
ing divorces as several other states
were more lenient in their regula
tions and attracted the thousands of
rich temporary citizens who were
seeking divorces.
The opposition to the measure was
exerted by the ministers of the state
who contended that the standard of
morality of the citizens of Nevada
was being lowered from coming in
contact with those seeking separa
tions from their partners.
FOR JON HOUR
Beginning next Monday, March 1,
both the First Bank of Valdez and
the Valdez Bank & Trust Co., will
close their banks during the noon
hour, from 12 +o 1 o’clock. This
custom prevails in most of the small
towns in the states and, while work
ing no inconvenience to the patrons
of the banks is a decided conven
ience to the employes of *he finan
cial institutions.

ADAMSJISMISSED
Information was received from Cor
dova today stating that Judge Fred.
M Brown had held court in the Cor
dova city hall last night in order to
hear testimony relative to the charges
made against Commissioner A. J. Ad
ams, of Cordova. The public were
afforded an opportunity of offering
any evidence which they deemed per
tinent to the case.
The charges against the commis
sioner were dismissed as being with
out foundation, no proof having been
submitted which would tend to show
that Mr. Adams had not conducted
his office in a highly proper manner.
The members of the court party
left Cordova this morning for Mc
Carthy, the new town on the Cop
per River & Northwestern railroad.
