Since Rose Polytechnic was quite

Why they did 1t was not known
until a year or two ago, when some
investigator learned that Ireland

explanation. This led TO an annual

LANSING. Mich. Jan. 20.-Plans
whereby the perpetual use of a large
tract of land, constituting one of the
greatest parks in the United States
Will be guaranteed TO the people of
Michigan. are being prepared by r.
K. Warren OF Three oaks. million
aire manufacturer.
Mr.. Warren and his wife own
large tracts of ,land in Berrien coun-
ty One holding is a section. $40
acres Of virgin timber. while an
other is a strip of Lake Michigan
front nearly 20 miles long, and brok-
en- here and there only by some
small individual holdings of farm
ers. II is the intention of Mr.. and
Mrs. Warren TO set aside this land
for the state in perpetuity through
the passage of law now being pre-
pared that will enable the land TO
be held by an organization on the
plan of the foundations upon
which the Rockefeller, Sage and
similar institutions are built
Several years ago Mr.. Warren
sought to give the tract of timber
10 the University of Michigan for
the use of the botanical department.
University inspectors decided that
because II is so far from the uni
versity, its use would be impracdc-
able.
Mr.. Warren's idea of preserving
the long line of Lake Michigan
shore. which extends nearly 20 miles
north from near the southern Mich
igan boundary, was born of the de-
struction of the hills and dunes
around Michigan City and the in
creasing demand for lake sand by
railroads and for big engineering
work The bill opening the way for
the plan will be introduced by Rep.
resentative Littlejohn of Berrien.
