Dormer's Wife Wins Divorce in San Francisco
Nevada's former Secretary of State John M. Dormer is granted a divorce from Mrs. Belle Dormer in San Francisco after more than a decade of desertion. The couple, married in Nevada nearly twenty years ago, faced testimony that Dormer abandoned wife and son, contributing nothing to support. Evidence places Dormer across several states and countries as a journalist and politician before the divorce decree for desertion and failure to provide.

Stuckmen Get Off Too Easy In Fencing Case
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock today notes in Washington that Bartlett Richards and W G Comstock pleaded guilty in the Federal Court at Omaha to illegal fencing of 212000 acres of government land. They were sentenced to six hours in U S Marshal custody and a $300 each fine. He calls the punishment utterly inadequate after four years of effort and substantial departmental spending. The aim was to deter large operators and warn smaller ones, with the belief the guilty plea shows the case’s strength.

Western Pacific policy favors local suppliers and fair dealing
A Nevada press comment praises the Western Pacific for buying from farmers and local merchants, contrasting it with Southern Pacific's revenue goals. The note highlights the Humboldt division’s printing and stationery sourcing in San Francisco, and reports irrigation progress on the Truckee and Carson rivers with the main canal now flowing, while many laterals remain to be built. A Bucklen's Arnica Salve testimonial from Little Rock, Arkansas, claims 5 years of sores healed.

Panama Canal at Sea Level Favored by Board of Engineers
The Board of Consulting Engineers for the Panama Canal Commission votes 8 to 5 against locks and recommends a sea level canal. Construction would be longer and cost 75 to 100 million dollars more than a lock canal. A final report awaits Isthmian Canal Commission submission and presidential approval. Separately, Reno reports a population near 12,000 with rapid growth since 1900. Sparks grows to about 2,000 after a prior boom.
