SPANISH INFLUENZA CAUSES DRASTIC ORDER AGAINST PUBLIC GATHERINGS
The quarantine has been placed in all public gatherings, excepting Idaho.
Schools, both public and private, are forbidden by an order issued today by the state board of health. The order for this county came to Dr. Rae, acting county health officer and directs the closing of all places of public amusement excepting schools. This is taken to mean the closing of churches, and it is feared the situation is becoming serious. In Spokane city and county all schools, churches, pool halls, and other places where people assemble have been ordered closed and drastic measures are being taken to stop the spread of the disease.
Colfax has many cases of the disease and the closing of schools there is being considered, but the county fair being on there."  This week, the seriousness of where people assemble has been ordered in Idaho applies to every part of the state.
