The awful effects of mixing up politics
in fusion, on the human system is shown
by the insanity OF Elk Senator Henry G..
Bolsinger of Central City, who is now in
the State Insane Asylum. Bolsinger
was all his life an active Democrat up to
the time that he became Populist, and
while he was in attendance at the Pop
ulist state convention at Pueblo, in 1885,
he became insane, but it was supposed
that he had recovered. He attended
the recent Democratic state convention
at Denver and his mind went off again.
There is many Democratic Populist-
Fusion politician in Colorado who is in
the same danger that poor Bolsinger is
in, and some of them edit newspapers to-
day and give proof OF their sorry mental
condition.-Golden Globe.

STEAMBOATS, ON coEuR p,AIEHE
LAKE MAY BE BROUGHT INTO
a COMBINATION FOE MUTUAL
BENEFITs-BUILD NEW BOAT
OF LIGHT DRAFT FOR UPPER
ST. JOE.

A movement has been started look
ing to the consolidation of the trans
portation business of Lake Occur
dAlene and the St. Jos river. The
deal is now underway and will be con-
sumated in few weeks if satisfactory
arrangements can be made.
During the summer big business
is done by the steamer owners in the
traffic of passengers and freight and
with the formation of one large COM
pany many improvements are promised
this season, notably the opening to
navigation of the upper waters of the
st. Jos river. For this latter purpose.
a special boat of small draught will
be built that can run up the river fully
rs miles farther than do the present
boats. There is large and practically
unexplored section of country up there
that is rich in timber and mineral
Considerable logging is now going on
In the district and for a time last
summer there was great rush into the
mineral zone. The coming summer will
witness the further opening and devel-
opment of the section, if the trans
portation facilities promised by the
steamer combination are provided.

the large sidewheeler of the St. Joe
Transportation company, which is the
auxiliary of the Occur d'Alene & Spo-
kane electric line, the Colfax and the
Spokane. All of these boats except
the one belonging to the st. Joe did
a large business last summer. The St
Joe company's boat was not com.
pleted until the fall, but it is one OF
the largest on the lake and the owners
had planned for it to do much of the
business of the lake and river.
Captain of the Spokane, the well
known lake pilot, is in the city to-
day. Said the captain:
81 do not look for the transportation
business to get its full swing until
about June, but the outlook for the
coming summer from a business stand :
point is exceptionally bright. The
building of the new electric line will
greatly add to the business of Occur
d'Alene city, Idaho, and of course
when things are lively there it helps
our business. l don't know what !

i HS captain Will udIuly leave tHc
lake. 1t is anticipated the big COM
pany will employ the present skip
pers in running the business.
Lake Attractions.
General Manager Belts of the Occur
d'Alene & Spokane Electric line says
it will be early in the summer before
the trains will make the run from
this city to Occur d'Alene in one hour
as the track will hardly be in shape
and properly ballasted until then. The
Washington Water Power company is
about ready to put in the sub-electri-
cal stations necessary to give the in
creased power to make such a run. 1t
is not determined just yet what special
attractions will be provided by the
company for the summer travel. 1t is
said park will be fixed with dane
ing pavilion and music of several sorts
and the resort made ideal in every
way for the summer excursionist.

Urges the Press to Keep up the Fight

Spokane Must Protest.
THE Spokane river has a direct
outlet from the lake. and If the citi-
gems of Spokane do not make a roar
against the passing of the bill, the
city will be in an unhealthy condition
from the time the first body is laid
in the cemetery. I can not under
stand how Senator Hepburn could
have the hardihood, when he has lived
in Spokane SO many years. to intro
duce such bill. He must know that
the people of this city are compelled
to use the water which comes from
Occur d'Alene. AS he is senator from
Idaho the people of Washington may
not have any influence over him. But

Fight to the End.
Now that The Press has taken up
the fight for a pure water supply, It
should fight it out to the end
DO you know Of any dead animals
taken from the river during your ad-
ministration as health officer?" was
asked.
During last summer" said the
doctor, Il know of two dead horses
taken from the river. 1t is hard to
prevent people living on the river
from using the river for scavenger
purposes.
Must Have New Supply.
What the city needs is an entirely
new water supply. City Engineer Gill
has fought for years for new water
supply, and at last has obtained an
appropriation of $4,000. An appropri-
alton of $4,000 more Is needed and
the appropriation should go through
the council without a dissenting vote
If this were done Spokane would be
one of the most healthful cities in the
country. but If the appropriation is
not made we will always be troubled
with contagious diseases"
