Gauntly in the sagebrush on a windswept Nevada plain about 22 mi. from the Boulder Canyon damsite stood Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur last week. He held a sledge hammer in his hand. Up over his shoulder he swung it, awkwardly but resoundingly brought it down on a silver spike, pinning together a 90-lb. (per yard) rail and its first tie. Thus he began construction (by Merritt-Chapman & Scott Corp.) of a Union Pacific spur railroad which is to link Las Vegas, Nev. and the Boulder Canyon of the Colorado River, first step in building...
Pleased and proud was many a Reno divorcee to learn that the judge who had freed her-George A. Bartlett of the Washoe County District Court-had last week been renominated for another four-year term. In the Nevada primary Judge Bartlett had led Benjamin J. Curler, one-time judge, by a majority so large as to assure his re-election in November. Well did each divorcee recall Judge Bartlett's warm friendly chambers on the second floor of the ornate courthouse where her decree had been granted-the pictures of the judge's family and dogs...
...March 17, 1927, five minutes before it adjourned its midnight session the Nevada Legislature passed Assembly Bill No. 195 which reduced state residence for divorce from six to three months. Last year Judges Bartlett & Moran together granted 2,071 divorces, of which only 700 went to husbands.

Constitution's faith-and-credit, Nevada divorces are recognized as legal in all states except South Carolina (no divorce law), New Jersey...
...miles away. Loneliness soon vanishes in the colony's common purpose. Di versions are plentiful. Fashionable gam bling, dancing, drinking are wide-open. Such roadhouses as the Willows are in easy reach. Calneva Lodge on the border attracts many who play golf and tennis in California, sleep in Nevada. Time passes quickly, enjoyably...
...troubles, needs few details. Children and property cause no hitch, providing the husband and wife have agreed on these matters in advance. If a defendant refuses to accept service or to appoint a Reno attorney to represent him, the plaintiff must wait an additional 40 days (not necessarily in Nevada) when a decree can be granted by default. If a defendant comes to Reno, vigorously contests a case, divorces can be obtained in Nevada with no more ease than elsewhere...
