Seven large wagon loads of peo-

from White Lake, some from

Owing to the vast area of the
state of Washington, crying need
was realized very early that a hos
pital for the insane should be erected
in the eastern part of the state, and
thus save transporting for such
long distance this unfortunate class
of people. So, in 1886 the legisla-
ture passed an act instructing the
governor to appoint three competent
persons, one to be a practicing ply
sician, and all to be residents OF
eastern Washington, who were to be
known as asylum commissioners for
eastern Washington and whose duty
it was to select a suitable place in
the eastern part of the state for the
location of hospital for the insane,
and that they should take into con-
sideration in the selection Of the site,
the climate, accessibility by rail-
roads, water, fuel and material for
building. The commissioners were
instructed to meet on the first Tues
day in March of 1886, in the town of
Medical Lake, Spokane county. The
expense for selecting the location
was limited to $4,000.
On January 25th, 1888, the hos
pital was permanently established
and located in the town of Medical
Lake, and three persons were ap-
pointed by the governor to constl-
tute a board of trustees for the con
struction of the hospital, none or
whom were permitted to be interest
ed in any contract connected with lts
erection. The citizens Of the town
of Medical Lake donated the land
upon which the hospital was to be
built and $6O,00O.00 was appropriat-
cd by the legislature for the erection
and construction of the buildings.
In January, 1890, $lOO,OOo.oO
more was appropriated to be spent
by the board of commissioners to
complete, furnish and equip the
buildings then under construction
and what was to be known as 1.-THE

Shock is not uncommonly given as
a cause for insanity, but only rarely
is It chronicled as an element in re-
covery. Such a case happened at
this hospital. M. M, thirty
three years of age, married, case OF

medicine much of the time, and only
replied to questions at long intervals;

The business side Of a chautau-
qua for the town is not fully ap-
preciated as yet If properly
utilized it should furnish consid-
cradle business stimuli-much
more than county fair or
street carnival, for which we have
to subscribe considerable sums Of
money. Many towns link with
the chautauqua local festival
that makes the occasion one OF
the immense attractions Of the
whole country. But even as it is.
the retail trade could benefit
greatly by a little concerted effort
in the publicity line. When peo-
pie are in town to attend the chau-
tauqua, why not make special
trade bargains to attract the peo-
pie and make your place Of bust
ness headquarters for people ont
Of the city where they get their
season tickets; IA little publicity
along that line will benefit you AS
well as help the chautauqua to be
a permanent feature in COlville.
