COLD MAY CLOSE
NAVIGATION
Heavy Ice at Head of Lake and on
St. Joe River

A report from the head of the lake
and the St, Joe river states that the
present cold wheather has formed so
much ice that boats are meeting with
serious difficulty IL navigating. On
the st. Joe river the ice is from six
inches TO one foot thick, and around
the town of Harrison 1t Is three and
four inches thick. Yesterday Ii was
necessary for boats to crush channel
through the ice for the steamer Idaho
of the Red Collar line, The steamers
Spokane, Rambler aud st. Joe tug
worked for several hours opening this
channel to the Harrison docks. The
steamer Coliax of the Red Collar line
was put out Of commission yesterday
by breaking several of the irons on
her bottom and is now at the John
son Boat works undergoing repairs.
She will be heavily armored and put
in commisson in few days ready to
meet the heaviest ice, and the boats
of the Red Collar line will force
their way to the head Of navigation IL
possible.
The steamer Boneta. of the White
Star Navigation copmany. is now ly
ing at her dock in this city and will
not be put into commission until the
ice has been cleared away. Il is re-
ported tn t the steamer Flyer Of the
White Star Navigation company, lies
at Ferrell's landing at St. Joe unable
to return to the city.
The snow In the upper country IL
deep and becoming deeper, so that 1t
is hard travelling even with snow
shoes. This is the hardest cold snap
in years and should 1t continue all
traffic ON the upper end OF the lake
will have to be discontinued until the
ice goes out
The loggers are beneiitting greatly
and are carrying on most active
campaign, piling the sklds and the
banks Of the rivers and the lake with
logs, ready for the spring drive which
will be the largest Of many years.

The commissioner says that the San

the legislative Investigations In New

insurance business In general, but
that the companies are now starting

some Of which repudiated or at least
asked for time TO investigate the
claims resulting from the earthquake
losses at San Francisco.
He said the most Of them had
earthquake clauses that would have
enabled them to repudiate or at least
fight the payment OF the claims.
Some suggestions are made for new
legislation In the state, one Of them
being that a remedy should DO pro-

CONTEST
Both Branches of Legislature
Name Committees

Boise, Idaho, Jan. H. The Koo-
tenai county contest case came before
the senate today. 1t was found that
two of the five ballot boxes delivered
to the lieuten ant governor could not
be opened with any of the six keys.
Thereupon the sergeant at arms
was ordered to break open the two
boxes, but while he was after tools.
it was determined to reseal all the
boxes and put the case over until to-
morrow morning. The procedure
provided for is that the papers and
boxes be brought before the full
body and examined before the case
goes to committee. This was being
done when it was found the keys would
not work.
RAILWAY COMMISSION BILL.
Introduction of bills was begun to-
day. In the senate only one appeared,
that being a local measure relating
to the Boise school district. In the
house there were seven. One of these
was the administration bill for a rail.
way commission. 1t provides for the
appointment of a commission of three
members, to serve six years, each to
receive salary of $4,000. The first
three appointed shall go out of office
in two, four and six years. 1t is au.
thorized to fix rates, prevent dIscrim-
inaUion, require cars to be furnished,
and generally regulate the business
of railway corporations. The bill is
an elaborate one. When a new rate
is ordered by the commission, it must
be put into effect within 20 days. The
railways may appeal from the commits.
sion to courts, and such cases shall
lave precedence over all others. A
penalty of from 800 to SO, 900 is
provided for giving rebates while the
agent of the company concerned is
personally subject to fine.
A bill by Mr.. McCracken of Bling
ham county, makes it illegal for any
railway, telegraph or telephone com
pany to give free passes to persons
in the stale, except clergymen, agents
of eleemosyanry institutions and
some others.
ANTITRUST MEASURE.
Mr.. Wayman of Ada introduced
bill to make it illegal to operate COM
binations in restraint of trade 1t is
elaborate in its provisions. Foreign
interpretations are to be denied the
privilege of doing business in the
state, upon conviction of violation of
the act. 1t is the duty of the county
attorney or the attorney general to
begin proceedings against any local
corporation for forfeiture OF its
franchise if it violate the act. Agents
of offending companies may be prose
cuted for conpsiracy and punished by
fine of from $500 to $4,000 or by
imprisonment in Jail for one year, or
both.
In the house the printing committee
announced it had accepted the legis-
lative stationery secured in Portland.
There was a sharp debate over the
matter, in which the character of the

of sending printing out of the state
denounced, but the action of the com
mittee was ratified after it had been
