SAM B0NNIF|ELD
 AGAIN IN CUSTODY

Sam Bonnifield of Fairbanks was this week taken into custody by the mar shal's office on an insanity charge and now is in the federal jail. He has been unbalanced for some time, says the News Miner, but it was only Monday and Tuesday that his condition became very noticeable.
 When the banks went on the script basis, in 19O7-OS, Bonnifeld was Presi- dent of the First National bank. and the worries incident to that strain caused a mental breakdown. He was taken out side and cared for in a private sanita- rum until a year ago, when he walked back over tine trail.
 Since his return he has never been right. although his insanity has been of a harmless nature. This summer he walked to Richardson and spent the summer hunting for letter that con- tained only few cents.
 A day or two ago he drew two or three thousand dollars, part of which he scattered around promiscuously among some laborers, while the re- mainder he took across the river and played with in the sand
 This morning when picked up he was rather violent, declaiming against Presi- dent Taft, Cardinal Gibbon and others of prominence, declaring that money is their god.

such an enthusiastic reception that a
committee was Immediately appointed to
meet with him and get down to actual
cooperation. Without doubt the com.
mercial organizations will assist the hotel
men in their advertising scheme, both
with money and literature. 1t will give
a tremendous impetus to the work.

TON BUREAUS IN EASTERN
CITIES.
"lf we can get the visitors to 90 out
into the state and see what we have, we
can keep them in Colorado a month,
three months, or better, forever, instead
Of week." declared President Paset.
He also stated that it was generally be-
lieved that Denver hotel men endeavored
to keep tourists in Denver. This is not
true. Denver hotel men maintain in
formation bureaus showing the resources
and beauties Of the state, and try to
send tourists through the state for the
longer they remain in Colorado the more
benefit the Denver hotel men receive.
We want To- establish this bureau in
Denver in order to get the tourists, and
send them through the state. This is not
Denver movement, but Colorado
movement, and in order to make this
bureau n success we must have the Iitcra.
ture and financial support of every county.
II is believed that the work will so de.
vclop eventually that bureaus will be
maintained in Chicago, Los Angeles and
other cities.
