MAY BUY SITE
AT LUDINGION
STATE MAY INVEST IN LAND
THERE FOR PERMANENT
CAMP FOR THE
MILITIA.

When the question OF purchasing a
permanent camp for the National
Guard of this state comes up, most
of the members of the state troops
VIII urge the selection in Ludington
as the best site available
There is bill now before the leg
islature providing for the appoint
ment of a commission. to serve with
out pay. to recommend to the state
desirable piece of property suitable for
the purpose and secure an option on
the land.
For several years there has been
more or less talk OF buying the Lud-
ington grounds and the federal gov
eminent had the matter Of securing
the land for federal troops under con-
sideration. There are about 5000
acres available at Ludington, and il is
better adapted for the purpose than
any other available property. Michi-
gan troops have always enjoyed the
camp at Ludington. where there is
good water in abundance. sandy soil
and a keen, invigorating air. The
commission viii be empowered TO eN-
anime all pieces of property offered
but it is generally expected here that
Ludington will be picked. owing to
the great demand for land of the
character of that at Ludington. it is
not probable that the state will have
the opportunity to buy this property
much longer. as fruit growers are al
ready discussing the purchase Of the
land.
Senator Cartier Of Ludington, who
introduced the bill providing for the
appointment of the commission. as
serts that he is not acting particular
ly on behalf of his district, but that he
deems II wise for the state to secure
permanent grounds before it is too
late, and only asks that Ludington
have fair consideration along with |
Others suggested.

EXHIBITION.

The Hpughton high school hockey
team was last evening defeated for the

four years the high school team has
defeated every conner piling up large
leads and i'm many cases preventing
their opponents from making a single
score. Not only the high school teams
of the county but various amateur or
ganizations have met the same fate.
With a lineup containing five for
mer Houghton high school players, one
of whom is a star on the Portage Lake
hockey team which aspires to the
championship of tho United States,
the NJ. c. NJ. team has at last turned
the trick. There is considerable talk
now of an NJ. c. NJ. and University of
Michigan series for the championship
of Michigan. Roy Reynolds OF Calu-
met, is the captain of the University
team and a number of copper country
men are included i'm the lineup.
In the first half of last nights game
the high school boys were hopelessly
outplayed and the puck was kept al
most entirely in their territory. Cor
don in the NJ. c. NJ. goal did not have
to make a single stop during this half,
Exley taking care of all the shots made
at the goal, but Dollinger, i'm the high
school goal was kept busy all the time.
The scoring in this half was done by
Pryor and Weismiller, who shot two
each and divided honors on the fifth,

In the second half the high school
team braced up and secured four goals
to NJ. c. MS three. Croze did sensa
tional work for the high school, shoot
ing all four of these goals. Weismil-
ler Exley and Wortley made the goals
for the college. CroZe, the rover for

CA Memory OF Summary

stood on the hills of Houghton as
the sun went slowly down,
With a farewell glance of gladness
DER the grim old northern town;
And the south wind driftod softly
with a perfume strangely sweet,
And toyed with the native roses that
blossomed at my feet.
But knew that the night was COM
ing, for the wind grew damp and chin
A IL crept from the fragrant forest.
and swung DER the highest hill;
And a night bird sang i'm the valley
a. song that was tinged with woe,
\ song that was heard in Eden long
centuries ago.
And out from the sister city, as
deeper the shadows fell,
There rang DER the murky waters
the tones OF a silver bell;
And the echoes-O, the echoes -
rang joyfully and free
As over the hills of Houghton they
clambered up to me.
Adieu to the hills OF Houghton. The
night-bird's song has ceased.
And the moon with a golden glory
is gliding the distant east,
And the wind that bore the eagle
afar in his fearless fight
Lies hushed on the hills of Hough-

MICHIGAN MAY NOT GIVE
SYRACUSE FOOTBALL DATES

Ann Arbor. Mich, Jan. 10.-Reports
from Syracuse which seem TO indicate
that the Methodists are planning grid
iron contests with Marquette, st. Louis
and Notre Dame for next fall are oc-
casioning some alarm among the VOL
VERNE authorities. After the stand
which Michigan has taken for clean
athletics they would dislike To hear
that the Methodists had scheduled a
western trip on which they were to be
sandwiched in between St Louis and
Notre Dame or Marquette. While such
action by Syracuse would not directly
affect the Wolverines, they do not care
to compete. with teams who do not
move in the best society. Michigan
would have no objection to make their
year. as the 1911 game is already ar
ranged, but should Syracuse assume
relations with too many of the institu-
tions on the Wolverine list of undesir-
ablcs they would probably not be Civ
en- a place on Michigan's 1912 schedule.
