GIFT OF LAND
FOR CAMP SITE
Permanent Militia Location Near
Grayling May be Chosen

Percy Patterson. the well known
sharpshooter of the 500, has returned
home after making tour OF the state
with the permanent camp site COM
mission recently appointed TO find q
suitable piece of land i'm the state for
the annual camp of the state mill
tia.
Since beginning the search for a
suitable location several tracts IN DIFF
ferent parts of the state have been
called 70 the attention of the commits
sion. not the least of which is the
tract at Rexford in Chippewa county.
now used by the Fort Brady soldiers
as a rifle range.
After looking over several pieces of
land the commission decided the one
four miles from Crawling was as near
an ideal spot as they could hope 10
find. The land is owned by Erasmus
Hansen. wealthy lumberman of
Crawling. When told that the state
had his lands I'm consideration, he Of
fered 20 deed 10 the state 23.040 acres
should the state wish 10 use it for
permanent military enCcmpment
Will Probably Accept.
While no definite action has been
taken. Il is probable that the commits
sion win recommend the acceptance
Of this gift. and that it be improved
for an encampment. The commission
is well pleased with this piece Of land.
A small lake is located on the tract
and the land around IL is so situated
that with very little expense the state
could make IL very beautiful park.
Mr.. Patterson stated that If the
members Of the commission decide
definitely TO recommend this land. hc
believes a discussion in the legislature
which has seemed imminent ever since
the matter Of permanent camp was
first broached. viii be avoided The
offer n Mr.. Hansen viii do away With
any hesitancy on the part of the state
officials 10 acquire the land because
of expense. The only expense to the
state. providing Il accepts, said Mr..
Patterson would be 10 erect few
necessary buildings on 1t and to i'm
prove the land in some places. 1t
viii be necessary 10 have a building
erected 10 be used as storehouse and
a few other buildings on the grounds
tc be used by the keeper.
Others Still Considered.
The commission also has had in
consideration Il tract OF land near
Traverse City and one near Roscom-
mon. Mr. Patterson, however, is of
the opinion that the land at Grayling
win be chosen IN preference to any
ether property in Michigan. not only
because 81 can be- acquired without eX-
pense. but because in his opinion it is
better adapted for a state encamp-
ment
Mr. Patterson has recently recon-
mended 20 the military board that the
land at ReNford be used for military
purposes by soldiers from this part Of
the state. II is out OF the question.
however, 20 purchase this land for
state encampment, in the opinion of
Mr.. Patterson. The chippewa land is
