Beet Workers as permaeent c tizons

Beet WOrNerS as = Fermaeent - tlzcnS.
The Lansing Business Mems associa-
tion has appointed committee to in
vestigate the question of inducing
about two hundred families of sugar
beet workers to purchase land and be.
come permanent residents of the city.
The Republican says Each year the
sugar company is obliged to bring here
from some Of the overcrowded eastern
cities, two or three hundred workers to
attend to the sugar beet crop. Each
year after the crop is harvested, these
people drift away by degrees into other
sections. The workers are of nation
ality andshabits which make good citi-
zens. Most of them are Danes, Swedes
or Poles, and it is believed that colony
of them would furnish a supply of com
mon labor for the city, which would be
invaluable. After talking the matter
over at the meeting last evening, the
directors of the Business Mems associa-
tion decided to attempt to bring colo
ny of the workers here as permanent
residents In order to carry out the
plan it will be necessary to secure a
tract of land which can be divided into
five acre plats for the co1onists, and ar
range so they can erect homes thereon
and settle down as part of the commu-
nifty. Those who are acquainted with
the class of workers brought here by the
sugar company say the colonists will
soon be very desirable citizens as they
are thrifty and everybody in each fami-
ly-including father-works each work
day in the week.

The Park Bonds Voted.

BY the splendid vote of 104S to 151
the citizens of Owosso voted on Tuesday
to issue $4,000 of park bonds. The
majority was a surprise to nearly every
one, although but little opposition had
been manifested to the proposition at
any time and on Tuesday but one ex-
preston was heard and that was "vote
yes" The majority was rolled up with
full understanding on the part of the
voters as to just what use is to be made
of the money and it is now hoped that
no obstacle will be met with to prevent
carrying out the will of the people as
expressed. The vote by wards was as

sginative newspaper writer who
makes q living writing that kind OF
stuff.
He had gone into camp one day
on small island In a stream below
Turner falls. He was equipped with
a typewriter and was seated in the
doorway Of his tent racking his brain
for Ideas. At the base Of the falls he
saw a small crevice In the granite
wall. That was enough. Thecrevice
grew into an enormous cavern as
rapidly ss he could pound the keys Of
his typewriter. The interior OF this
cavern was a wondrous place, rich in
geological specimens, and trsversed
by a rushing river. In this river were
strange fish, unknown to science.
The story, Of course, was about the
discovery and exrloration OF this
cave. When the fsker had finished
his romancing what he had written
would all q page OF a newspaper.
The story was sent to st. Louis,
where 1t was accepted BY an enter
prising editor.
The job was 80 successful that g
week or two later a story appeared
telling how a party OF miners entered
the cave, and how one OF them had
been lost. This gave opportunity
for another story about the adven-
lures OF rescuing party. Then
came another story about the arriv-
al Of the heartbroken sweetheart oi
the lost miner. The unfortunate
was never found. The closest ap-
proach to 1t was finding his muddy
and water soaked hat.
Letters Of inquiry began to pourin
upon the postmaster at Davis, In
quiring about the cave. Many oi
these letters came from persons In
eastern states. One day a letter
came from an eastern scientist, ad'
dressed to the iaker who had written
the story. The scientist asked II the
story about the cave and It's geolo
gical treasures we're true. The iakel
dared not put himself out OF success
ful business by saying that the
story was false. Another letterfrom
the scientist told Of bis being on the
way to Turner falls, and asked that
the iaker meet him at the railroad
and accompany him to the cave.
The iaker evidently Was caught
red. handed. But far from IL. BE

for the cave. In telling about hisex.

FORT ETHAN ALLEN NOTES.
Horse Went Up Winding STAIRCASE for
Il laIe of Iiny.

Last Friday night the oldest horse at the
post, known as "Old Bal unfhstened his
halter. ard wandered along the gang way
used for wagons toward the front dor. until
he came to the winding staircase, which
he assembled and entered the hay loft.
When the battery fell in and marched to
the stables Saturday morning. the ser
geant in charge counted his animals as
usual and found thar one horse was miss
ing. After a little argument with the first
sergeant as TO where he had gore, noise
was heard upstairs The stable sergeant
assembled the stairs and found old Bill eat
ing hay from a bale After the battery
had been called several men were sent up
stairs to blndfold the animal and see II
he could be brought down the steps again,
But Old Bill preferred the bale of hay TO
the winding staircase and declined to go
down. The stable sergeant then had the
horse thrown and his legs tied, after
which he was lowered to the ground
through the hay loft door by means OF
block and pulley.
