U. S. S. Hancock, Navy Yard, New
York
Dear Mr.. Fontaine: Without doub:
rumors of the launching CT the great
dreadnaught, Florida" have in some
mysterious manner reached your far
away village.
Perhaps it would be OF interest
to you to hear the version Of one
who was an eye witness of the, magni-
ficent launching but whose heart was
back in dear old Grand Rapids
On the 9th OF March, 1909, the keel
Of the great monster was laid on the
launching ways just across, the slip
from where the Hancock lies From
then on until the 18th of May 1910,
the air was full of the shrek of pneu
matte riNeters, the sound Of blows
on steel and other noises incident to
the building Of powerful battleship,
and slowly but surely the great hull
was shaped So slowly, that a week
work was practically unnotic cable,
yet so we'll, that it can withstand the
impact of hundreds Of tons hurled
with an income eiyable rapidity.
but, on the 18th of May, the pc
culiar sounds that had been associated
with the building of her, ceased and
were Superseded by the noises of
pounding and ripping as the supearfll
Gus props and braces were removed
and the grelt body settled more Sc
curely into its cradle Then the air
was polluted with the odor Of hot
tallow, with which the ways were be-
ing creased.

EXCELLENT ARTICLE IN
FAVOR OF CHANGE OF NAME

l favor a change of name of this
| given in the press, as we'll as others.
I have had much trouble ap1 an
| noyance.
Sometimes the delays are quite ser.
GUS and are expensive as we'll as an
noying. What the name shall be is
of secondary Importance and anythin.
which is pretty generally liked would
be acceptable to me with but one con
dition,-It should be a name no 9th
er place in the United States has or
would be likely to adopt This would
assure us that all of our adWertis-
ing and boosting would benefit us
and not some other town either larg
er or smaller.
Personally, | would prefer a name
with but one word, but of the names
have so far heard WISCONSIN Rap
ids seems to have the most adVan-
tages.
1t emphasizes the state, the river
and the rapids. It could not be du-
plicated because there is no other
Wisconsin and the law would not per
NIT a REPETITION of the name in this
state. For convenience the first
word can be easily abbreviated and
in a comparatively short time we
would have a distinction all cur own,
making it unnecessary to add the
name of the state when addressing
mail to US. I would like to hear
other suggestions.
I recognize that the old settlers
have done the pioneering and made
modern, down-to-date city possible,
and I do not think that a desire for a
change Of name reflects discredit on
them in the least, any more than the
application of a new principal to
an invention for purposes of con-
venience and economy, discredits the
original inventor. 1t is the general
desire of our citizens to attract new
people and increase the size and i'm
portance of the city. The majority
of our people are already newcomer.
and not 'old settlers" This majorit.
is rapidly growing and everybody is
trying to make it grow still more
rapidly. We cannot, and would not
if we could invite people to come
| here and remain in seclusion. They
| must be made active working parts
Of the great machine. Naturally they
have no sentiment connected with
| Old associations. While they wish
to respect the feelings of their neigh
bors they can not be expected to
| do SO when they think that such ac-
ton would retard the growth and i'm
portance of the city and at the same
| time cause them inconvenience and
expense. Let us continue the discus
sion in a friendly way for a while
and then do what the majority de-
| eide, whether this means change or
no change and do it with a vim which
will move our splendid little city aihea
several notches and keep it moving.
| think that free discussion thru
| the papers without the names attach
ed would be best as in this case all
arguments would stand or fall on
| either way by personality.
