The Story of

Their first visits to this region
date back to 1910. 1t was not
until 1868 however, that the first
actual settlement was made.
This was the mission at Sault
Sainte Marie, founded by Father
Marquette. Mackinac was es-
tablished a few years later, and
. Detroit's growth was slow.
After the French and Indian
wars the English took over this
territory, and in 1774 it was for
mally declared part Of Canada.
Detroit rapidly grew in impor-
tance and during the Revolution
was the base Of operations for
many raids by the British and
Indians against the Americans.
BY the terms Of the treaty of
Paris in .1723 this region became
a part of the United States.
What is now Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, a part of Minnesota, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio was known as
the Northwest territory. After
Ohio was set off as a separate
state the Lower Peninsula of
Michigan was Joined to Indiana
territory. In 1906 Michigan be-
came a separate territory with
about its present boundaries.
There was, however, great
dispute over a small strip of
land In the extreme Soutnefn
portion which was claimed by
Ohio. This almost led to blood
shed, but was finally settled by
Michigan releasing her claim to
the disputed area and receiving
as compensation an addition to
the Upper Peninsula. On this
basis Michigan was admitted to
the Union in 1887 and became
the twenty-siXth state.
Michigan has a unique situa-
ton, as it is bounded by the
three largest of the Great Lakes.
and divided into two peninsulas.
This gives it coast line larger
in proportion TO its area than
any of the other states. 1t is
named after Lake Michigan,
which is the Algonquin word,

sea-" II is entitled to 10 votes

CRESCENT FIVE
BEATS AMbOYS
Fast Brooklyn Team Wins
One of the Best Contests
Ever Seen Here, 80 to 28.

The Amboy basketball team re-
ceived its second setback of the
season on the Auditorium court Sat-
urday night, when the Crescents OF
Brooklyn scored a victory in an in
teresting game by a score of 80 rs.
The Amboy team minus the services
of Cosgrove at center failed to play
UP to regular form.
The Crescent combination came
here with a fourteen game winning
streak. and their play in this game
was featured by a ive-man defense.
Although the Amboy combination
was held scoreless from the field
during the first session and only
scored four double counters in the
second session. the home players
were enabled to remain in the run
ming as a result of Hank" Thomas
dropping in twenty single pointers
out of twenty-nine called by Referee
Solador.
The Brooklyn combination as
sumed the lead early in the game
as q result of Stewart, a visiting
guard running away from Reilly
and the visiting team was never
headed. in this contest. Nicklas and
McTague featured with sensational
shots for the Crescent team, while
Thomas scored twenty-six out of
Amboy's twenty-eight points. The
score at the end of the first half
was 1914.
Twenty-Five. fouls were called on
the visiting combination and seven-
teen on the Amboy team. John
stones Syncopated Six furnished
music for dancing in connection with
this game in place of Happy Rhone's
band. and 1t is possible that this or
chestra will continue to furnish mu-
sic on Saturday nights. The home
boys made a big hit with the
dancers.
