COUNTY BUILDINGS
SOLD FOR $e7s.

On Tuesday afternoon the county COM
missioner opened the bids for the sale
Of tho county buildings in Pembina, and
tho total sum bid for all was e975, which
WAS bid by f. G. Morris representing
aisyndicate Of Pembina people. There
were several bids for different part Of the
esunty property but the Aggregate
amounted to about the same as the gen.
sfal bid Of Mr.. Morris, covering the whole
thing.
The sale was thoroughly advertised
and the commissioners were disappoint-
cd in that there being no outside bids.
To reject the bids already in would not
have helped matters any, as depre-
cistion in the property was sure to follow.
What to do with the main building is
yet conjecture, but at the price it was
bought for it can easily be converted in
to some public institution or enterprise.
The county judges Office will be turned
over to the library association for a
library. The other buildings will pro-
bahly be disposed Of as Mr.. Morris sees
fit.
This closes another chapter in one Of
the hottest contested county seat fights
in the northwest and one which carried
withit more expenditure Of money, both
in the campaign, and loss to the county
than most people had any conception Of
at the time.
These buildings cost the county at
least $4,000 and they are in as good
condition as 1t any time since they were
constructed. "A basement Of stone,
waterworls. and new heating plant;in
stalled few years ago, are expenditures
which have been made since the court
houss WAS built. There Is nothing about
the building which is notln perfect pre-
,servation. The price for which these

The most important asset subject to
the principles Of conservation is Good
Health The largest financial burden
TO the people of Michigan is that pro-
duced by disease The diseases caus-
ing this output of money are PRE-
VENTABLE DISEASES. The most
important principle of prevention OF
disease is Sanitation. A proper degree
of sanitation and hygiene consistently
maintained will save thousands of
lives and millions OF dollars in this
State each year.
There are in Michigan each month
over 200 deaths from tuberculosis.
This disease costs us 500. 600, 600 a
year Add to this the cost of typhoid
fever. diphthela, smallpox. cholera
infantum, and the long list of prevent
able diseases and the amount becomes
appalling This matter is practically
within the power of public control
To the end that concerted activity,
covering the entire state, may oe es-
tablished, has excellency. Chase S.

of money. Theodore Roosevelt is the

managers there was spent in the recent

Roosevelt the sum OF 500. l26, half OF

Another item that Mr.. Brown had
his attention called TO is mineral

reserved must be placed on the assess

different ownership, tax titles, etc,
