FROM THE
 COLv|L.LLE | Interesting Letter From Commissioner BoSqui. MANY NATIVES DEAD Mir. BOSqui Proves That Reindeer Are Useful Animals in
 Alaska.
MANY NATIVES DEAD

United States Marshal Richards is in receipt of letter from F.. l.. Bo,qui. United States commissioner and re- corder for Colvile district The letter 9, 1902" The following extracts are taken from it:
 After hard and cold trip we ar rived here on the 22nd. being 2l days on the trail from Point Barrow, with the thermometer between 30 and 10 be- low the entire trip.
 Franklin mountains I saw | was up against it for the winter and felt some what discouraged. The natives were all sick, over loo having died within two months. and | therefore could get no assistance from them. Chas. Brewer came kindly to my assistance and very kindly let me have house as well as a supply of coal and oil As my chief aim was to reach here this winter l made up my mind to do or bust. lam here. so no bust.
 "Dr. Marsh, who has charge of the reindeer at Point Barrow. wished me to experiment with them. He supplied Us with 37 deer and six natives. We started and have been breaking deer ever since. l can now give d Lapp cards and spades. We had twenty loads of bout 300 pounds each. so am here with about three tons. Today the nat ives return for the balance. As Dr.. Marsh wished to prove that deer could be used in Alaska, l was willing totake the risk. and so will be able to get the whole outfit here this spring. can also say that reindeer are success at least in this section, as my eXperi- ence amply demonstrates and they will afford an easy means of communicating between this place and Point Barrow.
 "We are nicely situated. but being here but three days are not yet fixed up. There is no building timber on the river and We will be obliged to live in q tent this winter and with plenty of we will be able to pull through and be ready for business in the summer. ] am writing this on our grub box, not having yet i'm ported our walnut desk.
 ''l am very favorably impressed with the country along the river, but have had no time to loof around. We found natives all along the river trapping. They take their furs down to the coast during the summer to trade with the whalers.
 Dr. Marsh and Chas. Brewer are splendid fellows and both have assisted me materially in many ways for which am duly grateful. By the way, your friend Dr. Sheldon Jackson should award the Colville Exploration Co., a medal for taking chances with his deer and proving them a success as beasts of burden in this northland. Dogs are big expense and have cut a big hole in my supply of bacon and meal, and 1 have them now on fish diet.
 'I enclose you map of the COlville. which which is about as accurate as can be obtained at the present time. We are close to the mouth of the river or branch which will be used by anyone coming in from the Yukon country, and close enough to the coast to reach salt water in two days. The river here is about quarter of a mile wide and is supposed to be quite deep. Several good streams enter the river in this vicinity. backed by rolling hills--a country similar to the Keewalik river district.'

THE COURT
Special Term Will Open
 On May 4.

The special May term of the district court will open on Monday next at II a. m. The grand jury will probably also meet at the same time. This term of court, it is stated, will probably be a short one, as Judge Moore intends mal1- ing trip to his former home in Penn sylvania, and will leave Nome on one Of the first steamers sailing for the out side. It is therefore likely that most of the present term will be taken up in the trial of criminal cases, of which there are quite number.

is WORTHY OF CHARITY.
Herman II. Hittenmark, Injured While
Working for the City, Anxious to
Have Suraical Operation.

A worthy object of charity has been
brought to the attention of the public
thru Mayor Jones, who has interested
himself in a former employee, Herman
III. Hittenmark who was injured while
at work on the North Third street
sewer last spring. Hittenmark lives
at 702 Woodbury. street, and is plumb
er and steam filter. While at work on
the sewer he bruised his right heel 50
badly that the bone has commenced to
decay and 1t was necessary that he I'M
dergo an operation. A portion OF the
bone was removed but the seat of the
trouble was not reached, and another
operation is necessary.
Hittenmark is without means and
has a wife and four small children,
ranging from years to II months.
County Attorney Northrup has taken
his case up with the state hospital at
Iowa City, and has secured a rate for
his treatment. Hittenmark is anxious
to go to Iowa City and have the second
operation performed. so that he can get
to work again. He is capable of earn
ing good wages when at work but has
not been able to do anything since last
October. Mayor Jones has Endorsed his
petition asking for aims, and has head
ed the list of donors with IS. If HI1ten-
mark is able to raise the amount nee
essary to pay for his treatment and
provide for his wife and children during
his absence. he will go to Iowa City for
the operation. His case appears to be
a worthy one, and it is not thought he
will have any trouble securing the nee
essary amount of money.

Rank of Mirth Provoking Comedy.
George w. Lederer's Sally In Our
Alley" one of the brightest musical
comedies ever put before the American
public, came to the Odeon last night
and delighted a disappointingly small
house. OF all the musical comedies of
the season, barring perhaps Sultan
and Pilsen, 1t leads for genuine merri-
ment, where wit, humor and satire have
full sway Nonsensical, to be sure. in
many ways, but it is the nonsense that
fascinates and pleases. So fast and
furious were the punches" thrown to
the audience, that many went away
over the heads of the majority and land
ed out in the street, somewhere with
out doing any harm.
Pretty Trixie FriganZa, queen off
the stage as we'll as on, and one of the
cleverest women before the public, is
easily the hit of the production. Miss
Friganza has only been doing Sally
for six weeks, but even the most crit
ical might judge her having spent an
entire lifetime studying the part. Miss
Friganza overdoes nothing and has the
highest conception of real comedy. The

MUCH SPRING ILLNESS.
Prevailing Fever Finds Many Victims,
Especially Amonq the Children.

Especially Among the Children.
While the city has been almost who'll
ly free from Illness of any sort during
the winter months, fevers have put in
an appearance here. as reported in
many other Iowa points. There are
several cases not confined to any par
ticu!ar locality, but quite general in all
parts of the city. Particularly the dis
ease affects children, it having been
estimated that about 60 per cent of the
patients are little folks.
Physicians are of the unanimous
opinion that the water is responsible,
and most of them think that the thor
ough flushing of the mains, two weeks
ago today, when sediment in the pipes
was stirred up, is directly responsible
as most of the cases put in appear
ance within few days of one another,
and about the proper length of time
for illness to result after the germs
were taken into the system. AT any
rate we'll defined focus of fever germs
was distributed in some way whether
by the flushing seepage from the sur
face or some other manner. Some of
the physicians think that the germ
causing the trouble is the amoeba coli
communis, which always comes from
decayed animal matter The fever is
by intense pains usually
in the head, but not necessarily con-
fined to any one spot. The tempera-
ture VIII run high very quickly in many
cases, then drop to normal, and con-
tinue to vary from day to day. But few
rev cases are being reported and 1t is
1 hOlp llt about all the cases that p.ill
result have put in an appearance. To
be on the safe side, until the analysis
of the water is made, as ordered by the
council, 1t would be well to boil all

While Miss Friganza takes the lead
in the cast she is not alone. Richard

last season as one of the millionaire

McCree and George A. Schiller aren't
