The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1899-02-25
IL Has Been Decided to Re-
Open the Question Regard
Ing Its Location.
ALL CLAIMS TO BE HEARD
And Among Them L'Anse Will
Present Her Unequaicd
Advantages.

The manner in which the selection
Of Marquette as the location for the
proposed new normal school was de-
termined by caucus OF upper
! peninsula senators and representa-
| tivcs, caused general commotion
| among the people in several other
towns which were in the race, and it
is gratifying to note that the hasty
action in the matter will be recon
sidered and March % set as the
date for hearing the claims from the
various towns Two years ago
when the question OF U = normal
was before the legislature, L'Anse
was favorable candidate, and again
briefly sets forth her excellent ad-
, yantages:
First-Location 1t is central as
to population. 1t is the core OF the
copper and iron regions. Every
decade will make it more emphatical-
IL so. 1t is accessible both by iand
and water highways
/ Second Health. Good location
and sicely students make a poor
team, but The best location and hale
students only can make team ut
for the Twentieth century. No place
in Michigan is healthier than
L'Anse, and very few as healthy.
Vital statistics show this, and there
is reason for it, ample water works
fed by pure spring water bearing
state official test, natural drainage,
no swamp lands, no staSnant pools,
no contagious epidemics in oul
: history.
