ANTRIM'S COURT HOUSE.

Tie court house situation in Antrim
county is waxing warm and great
many things are being said against
building court house now which
would seem TO he the result of selfish
ness. Antrim county has no court
house and, as Judge Mayne says, no
suitable place to hold circuit court.
1t il town hall for which the county
pays large rent. 1t is evident that
the fight against the court house is
being carried on by the timber interest
which are at present lgrge in the
eastern towns, to save themselves from
the court house tax. They are operat-
ing through Central Lake which they
have induced TO make an offer for the
court house there. The county seat
Of Antrim county is in the center now
and will never be moved. The lumber
letters TO help put up fund to fight
the court house as the following letter
shows: Cameron Lumber Co., Central
Lake, Mich, March 2Sth, 1904; Mr..
IJouseman-We got some men out
working against the proposition to
bond the county for court house; TO
try and combat the prejudice they are
trying to raise against the lumber
interests. Now we have done all we
can and our committee claim they
can't go further without enough
money TO pay expenses, hotel bill S,
liveries, etc. Can you do anything?
Ii you feel disposed, wire me by phone
what to do for you. Yours truly, A.
Cameron" This letter was written
TO Mr. Ionseman, an extensive timber
owner In southern part of the county.
Further comment is unnecessary.
If the large timber interests will COM
bine TO fight the court house, it would
seem to the interest Of the people to
vote for it now when the timber can
be made TO bear its share. Wards
pine in Mancelona township, alone, is
assessed at $685., 200 which is more than
two times the entire valuation OF Echo
and Jordan townships. Wards valu-
alton is 2400 times the valuation Of a
forty acre farm with valuation
OF $780, The timber in Mancelona,
Star. Warner and Chestonia Is assessed
at Sl,240,0OO which makes just the
timber valuations more than four
times the entire townships of Echo
and Jordan. 1t seems as though
common sense for our neighbors would
be to build court house now while
the nonresident timber valuations
would pay more than quarter of its
cost

TO ask you, therefore. to take every possible pre-
caution to make the fire drills rapid dismissals

The greatest danger from panic exists in those
buildings in which there two distinct school
organizations In such cases the two principals
should have O perfect under landing to arrange

order is enforced.
l am happy to say that in every case of alarm OF
fire occurred in the schools during the
few years the existing fire drills have proved effect
i've the teachers have behaved with GOODNESS and
courage, and in not single instance, even when
two thousand children collected under one
roof have the pupils been thrown into panic. Is
duty, nevertheless, to make our fire drills
perfect than they are. If that is possible.
