CLAIMS SANE
RA|LROADED.
TO ASYLUMS.
Commissioner of Public Wei
fare Makes Sensational
Charges Against Counties
SAYS Many Aged and Infirm
Paupers Are Unloaded on
Institutions for Insane

The first gun of what may result
in a finish fight between the state
and the various counties was fired
saturday when David Burrell, state
commissioner of public welfare, at
Boise addresses a letter to all judges
of the state having power to commit
persons to asylums for the insane,
asking their cooperation in keeping
the asylums free of those persons who
do not rightfully belong there.
''The institutions are becoming so
crowded., said Mr.. Burrell, "that /
have found is necessary to start an
Investigation to find out the cause of
the increase in commitments to the
asyums.''
SANE ARE IN ASYLUM
In his letter, the commissioner
states he has found many old
folk at the asylums who are feeble
and infrm from old age, but not
insane.
''The surprising thing" he says, { is
that practically all of these old persons
have come from county poor farms,
contrary to the provisions of Section
1887, Idaho Compiled Statutes. This
section says that no case of idiocy or
imbeeility, or simple feebleness of
mind, must be maintained at the
asylums.
As soon as the receiving hospitals
at the Orofno and Blackfoot institu
tons are completed Mr.. Burrell in
tends calling a clinic of physicians to
examine all patients at the institu
tions. Such patients as are not classed
as insane and dangerous to life aud
property will be returned to the eOun
ties from where they were committed.
The commissioner expects the 'hospi-
tails to be ready about the first week
in December and as soon after that
date as possible he will conduct the
clinic and weed out the patients.
81 have been looking through some
of the commitment papers of those
recently sent to BlackfOot,'' Mr.. Bur
rell said, "and, the grounds on
which those people have been
sent to an asylum for the insane could
just as well be applied to almost any
person in Idaho.
s. 1t looks to me as though some of
these county farms have just been
unloading on the state all their old and
inllrm charges simply because they
dldn want to take care of them. y
Records of the Blackfoot institution
On hle in the state department of
public welfare show that since June,
twenty-five persons have been commit
'ed to that asylum from Ada county.
In his letter to the judges, Mr..
burrell points to some of the reasons
Tor the increase in the number of
patients at the asylums. One of these
Is the drug or narcotic act passed by
'ne legislature in 1913. He says:

Terrific Storm Sweeps All
Northwestern States; Sleet
Puts Ice Crust on Surface
Wires Down and Mountain Dis
tricts Are Cut off from Com
munication; Chinook Comes

Heaviest snow to fall over Camas
Prairie in years, was recorded Sunday
night, when 4-day snowstorm turned
into rain. From Thursday morning to
Sunday night, snow to a depth of
twenty-seven inches fell in Grange
vile, according to the readings of
Henry Telcher, voluntary weather
observer.
Local weather records are available
back to 1904, and during the seventeen
years snow did not attain depth of
twenty-seven inches in Grangeville at
any one time. The deepest snow on
record was twenty-five inches, which
fell in two days, in January, 1913.
- HEAVY ICE CRUST
On Sunday night. the snow turnu-
ed to rain, and then to sleet. freezing
heavy crust of ice on the surface of
the snow. Telephone and electric light
wires were weighted down by heavy
coating of ice, which fell to the
ground with slight thaw, Monday.
Lowest temperature during the
storm was 10 degrees above zero. A
peculiar feature was noted Sunday
evening, when rain began falling, al
though the temperature was IS above
zero, or Ia degrees below the freez-
ing point.
Deep snow fell in the mountain coun-
try. 1t was reported Monday that
five feet of snow lay at Adams Camp
and throughout the entire mountain
districts, several feet of snow covered
the ground. Telephone lines to Adams
and Elk City were out of order all day
Monday, due to the storm.
Tho storm, hrouol,t buqinaeq virtual
ly to standstill Transportation
was seriously hampered. The Camas
Prairie passenger train was equipped
with snowplow, and had no Difficult
ty in making its regular trips.
ABANDON AUTOMOBILES
Stage lines have operated with great
inconvenience. Automobiles for a time
were used to travel across the prairie.
but eventually the snow became SO
deep that use of cars was abandoned,
and sleds are employed as virtually the
only means of transportation on coun-
try roads.
Lowlands along the Salmon and
Snake rivers were covered by heavy
snowfall causing great inconvenience
to stockmen who are wintering live
stock in the valleys.
Snow was shoveled from roofs or
many buildings in the business district,
Monday, to guard against damage to
the roofs from the heavy weight they
were carrying.
The storm was general throughout
the northwest, from eastern Montana
to the coast. Unusually low tempera-
atures were reported in Montana.
Chinook Monday night melted much
of the snow, and on Tuesday snow was
only foot deep on level.

THE man who was giving this party
L was a famous sculptor, but this
wasn't his studio : It belonged to writer
whose name is household word. There
we're painters, singers-one, prima
donna from the Metropolitan, sauntered
over to the great piano that was almost
concealed in one corner Of the room,
and sang some queer little folk songs,
written in a minor key, that made Inc
feel strange and shivery. A woman who
used to be one of our most famous emo
tional actresses, an Italian, leaned back
against the purple cushions Of low
chair, her exquisite face looking like
some wonderful cameo against the deep
background.

impression that such parties are regu-
lar wine, women and song affairs,
but they aren't. This was but the first
of a number of them that I went to, as
Mr.. Sandy knew lots Of interesting peo-
ple and used to take me to their enter
tainments, and always ] found that
there was very little drinking, as COM
pared to what I'd seen at just regular
affairs. The people talked about their
work, most of them, and about i'm
portant things that were happening.
The big yellow haired man spent
most of the evening with me, and when
Mr.. Sandy came over to US and asked
if wanted to go home-it was about 8
o'clock then--he asked II he might come
to see me.
Il didn't take you there to gather
in new acquaintances, DIANA" Mr..
Sandy told me when we were in his
car, headed for home. II took you so
that you could study types-you'l Il
never see more interesting ones. When'S
Quentin was the blonde man
looming to see you:'

Derry won't care for that" he
commented. And quite suddenly. just
as if some one had spoken it, came the
thought. Neither do you -
sat very still, trying to get used
to this new idea. 1t never had occur
red to me before that Malcolm Sandy
cared anything about me. except in Il
business way. He had been very nice
to me, but everything that he had done
for me would mean that l was more
valuable in business way to him.

gone to bed.
"A Mrs. Shayne phoned you this
evening"" it said. please call her to-

Nan Shayne! As my maid clipped
the stitches that held my gorgeous gown
together and kept it on me. my mind
raced back to the past. ! hadn't seen
Nan since the time when Billy was so
infatuated with Isabel Heath, and Nan
was so wretChed about it. NV aunt
