OFFERS FREE site
FOR COUNTY POOR
Comfy Commissioners May Save
Big Sum if Plan Offered by
Alberta is Taken

Alberta will give Stevens county
a free site on which to erect u
county poor house if the commission
ers will accept.
Alberta believes the offer will be
the means of saving the taxpayers
a good deal of money if the commits
sioners are looking for economy.
At the last meeting of the Alberta
Commercial Club the matter was dis
cussed and it was unanimously decided
to present the proposition to the COM
missioners at an early meeting. Sew
eral convenient locations will be re-
commended and the board will have a
chance to secure from one to several
acres for poor house purposes. All
the sites will be free to the county
and the offer Is unconditional.
Some years ago the county main.
tanned poor farm in the country
near this village. Then the county
| fathers changed the pain and it was
taken to the county seat. Lately the
poor farm was sold and since ther
/ the paupers have been boarded at the
/ county's expense. This plan is about
! to be changed again, it is understood.
and Alberta feels sufficiently interest
ed to offer free site. One of the
claims which the village presents fol
the establishment of the poor farm
here is that the village is located al
most in the geographical center O.
the county.

The chickens are fed principally on rice, and the daily wage of a Chinese farm hand is 10 cents.
