STATE PARK IS;
ESTABLISHED AT
SACRED HEART

A state park for Renville coun-
ty to be known as the Joseph R.
Brown Memorial park was estab-
lished by the last legislature and
work on restoring the historic
Brown homestead will begin soon.
Redwood Falls residents inter-
ested in the early history of the
section are familiar with the
ruins of the old home, located on
hillside along the Minnesota
bottoms road west of Delhi and
seven miles south of Sacred
Heart.
The home was constructed II
years ago by Joseph R. Brown af-
ter whom Brown county was
named.
The state has accepted three
acres of land from Strandjord
Brothers of near Sacred Heart
and appropriated $500 to be used
in improvements.
A runaway boy nine years old,
Brown came to Fort Smelling in
1919 with the first detachment of
soldiers, a historical survey re-
vealed.
He became the founder of Still
water, Henderson and Browns
Valley. He was an early trader
and was influential in getting
Minnesota admitted as state.
The well-known pioneer was
prominent in the Treaty of Trav-
crs Des Sioux in 1851 when the
government purchased the south
ern half of Minnesota irom the
Sioux Indians and established a
territory along the Minnesota riv-
er as all Indian Reservation.

County's 1,l48 Dogs
Valued at $4,000

Park Rapids-Hubbard county's
dog population is worth $17,22O.
That's the full and true" value
placed on the 1148 CANNES listed
as personal property by various
TOWNSHIP and village assessors,
whose figures must stand in spite
of those persons who, having lost
turkeys and sheep by killer dogs,
would not place such a high value
on them. Information cleaned
from the assessment books re-
veals also the fact that there are
fewer hogs in Hubbard county
than there are dogs. Assessors
listed only 1046 hogs, as compar-
ed with 1148 dogs.

MILFORD HEALTH
REPORTED GOOD
No Serious Epidemics In
1886; General Health Is
Good.

The following letter recently re-
ceived by DIR. S. NJ. d. Marshall,
president of the Milford Board of
Health, from DR.. E. L. Smith, exec
utive secretary of the Milford Board
of Health, is self-explanatory. In
cluded In the report is a report Of
the condition of the milk supply of
Milford. The report in full follows:
Again we are able to report that
there have been no serious epidem-
ics of contagious disease in the Mil
ford community during the year.
There were few cases Of measles,
scarlet fever and chicken pox but
no diphtheria. I am glad to report
that we have reached the place In
dipththeria immunization, where ac-
cording to the estimate of leading
health authorities, we need have
very little fear of diphtheria epi-
denies. At the end of 1896 In Kent
county we had records of 1874 chill
dren under five years of age who
had had diphtheria immunization
treatments. According to the 1880
census there were 2400 children in
the county in this age group and we
consider Milford as well protected
as the rest of the county. This is
equivalent to $3.50 of the children
in this age group which Is far
above the percentage required to
prevent epidemics, according to
health authorities. This of course,
does not mean that we will not have
cases of diphtheria as long as some
parents refuse or neglect to have
their children immunized during the
last half of the first year of life.
Well-baby clinics have been held
at the Masonic Temple every Thurs
day afternoon with good attendance,
and at the colored school every
morning. tuberculosis
clinics have been held the third
afternoon of each month
Tor the purpose Of giving physical
examination TO tuberculosis cases
and contacts.
: During the year one hundred
school children were
given the tuberculin test by DR..
Burch. A large majority of these
children were contacts of active
eases in homes. In forty-seyen the
est proved positive, These forty
seven were x-raxtd at BfapdyBine
and sanatorium treat
lient advised for three of them.
Physical examination was made OF
III children taking part In inter-
scholastic athletics and of the first,
ourth and seventh grades. All other
GRADES were inspected by the school
lurse.
