Where Is Sailor White!

A number of local people, friends
of Walter Curtis and known under
his fighting nom de plume of Sailor
White are wondering where that per-
sonage has disappeared to. Chief
among the wondering multituSe be-
ing Ed. Carpenter, with whom the
fighter boarded and who would like
to know the sailor boys whereabouts
long enough so that he could collect
a little board bill which White thot
Of too small consequence to bother
with before leaving. White was
scheduled to box at Ionia last Thurs
day night at the armory. An lonia
newspaper man said that the bout
came off all right and in his paper
stated that both. White and his OPP
ponent were completely tired out ana
ready to quit at the end Of their
bout, with neither having any ad-
vantage over the other. Local par
ties who went down to see the fight
however say that White failed to
put in his appearance and that the
Ionia fight fans were wondering what
had caused him to abandon the fight
that night. A warrant charging Cur
tbs with jumping board bill may be
issued for him.

SENIORS ENTERTAIN
AT HARMONY HALL

A dancing party was given by the
Seniors of the Bel ing High school
10 the Juniors at Harmony hall, Fri
day evening at 500 o'clock. The
ball was decorated in the Senior
class colors which are green and
white and in the High school coors
which are orange and black The
decorations were put in very tasty
manner due TO the efforts of Miss
Letha Deal and Miss Frieda Day.
Johnnie Wheeler's orchestra played
Tor the occasion and we must hano
II To Johnnie that his success is as
sured as far as for having a real
s"appy High school orchestra. Az
ten c'c'ock, Mr.. Gray announced 70
the gentlemen that they were to
choo.e their partner for supper.
There was a grand lush for part
Lers but all managed to get one The
supper was also well thought up and
was of manw delicious things all due
to the girls of the Senior class.
After supper was over, tancine
was continued. Many laughable things
happened, such as: Allen Shurte had
quite hard time keeping out of the
way of the other dancers during the
time the Orchestra was playing "I'm
Missin Mammy's Kissin"; Also Fat
Coon managed to get the girls in
the dining room laughing and steal
his supper, Miss Whelan, Miss Dry
bread and Mr.. Gray chaperoned the
party ana all proved to be worthy
chaperons. All who attended the
party said that they had one of the
best times that they had ever had
and one that would be remembered
The Senior class as we'll as the Jun
ior class of 1922 deserve a good big
credit mark for the interest they
take in the active part of the High
school.

Legislature Had Merry Fight But
Planted State Capitol 'In Woods and
Mud Where the Bullfrogs Croaned"

AS the location was central anc
favored by the Rangers because OF
it's position north of the Central
railroad, the site had good many
supporters.
BUT Lansing wasn't the first place
mentioned, for Grand Blanc had that
honor. Grand Blanc, However, was
beaten, right off the reel. Saginaw
suffered a similar fate. Then along
came Lyons and it was voted 30 to %
to give the honor to Lyons. And
Lyons got beyond the first and second
reading, but was beaten on the third
Lansing hadn't even been mention
ed.
But right after that it was men
toned, and Township Of Lansing
Ingham county, went into the bill for
the location of a state capitol. At
tempts were made, all of them fail
ures, to insert the names of the fol-
lowing places:
Detroit, Marshall, Jackson, Ann
Arbor, Battle Greek, Albion, Utica,
Corunna. Eaten Rapids, Dexter and
Copper Harbor.
The bill passed the house with the
Township of Lansing as the favored
site and then the fireworks began,
for certain house members who had
voted for Lansing as joke were keen
for having the senate send back the
bill so they could get another whack
at it, while the Rangers were just as
determined it should go through the
senate without the further crossing
Of "T" or the dotting of an "I".
The senate, staggering under a
load of petitions, offers of free sites
and beset upon every side by lobbies,
on March 5 took up two bills, one
the house bill and the other a senate
bill. to locate the capitol somewhere
in Shiawassee county.
There were petitions for locating
the capitol at Dewitt, Flint, Calhoun
county and Detroit. But the frs.
town that afficially came up for dis
cussion was Owosso. This was the
senate bill.
An amendment to substitute De-
troit was lost, the argument being
that the governors salary of 81 800
a year wouldn't support him in style
in such a big town. Ann Arbor,
Marshall, Lansing township, Dexter,
Pontiac, Eaton Rapids, Saginaw and
Jackson fell by the wayside, after
which the senate bill was tabled.
Then the house bill naming Ian,
sing township was taken up and a
mo. ion was made to substitute
Grand Rapids. The proposition didn't
get single vote. Then the township
of Lansing was stricken out, leav-
ing the bill blank as to location. De-
troit, Eaton Rapids. Albion and
Jackson were proposed, but all were
beaten.
Then the bill went to the commit
tee with ms ructions to insert Lyons
and the senate again took up the SEN
ate bill and half dozen towns were
inserted, only to be knocked out, af-
ter which the house bill came back
from committee with Lyons insertea
after which the senate calmly pro,
ceeded to knock Lyons out of it.
Charlotte showed up at one point
in the proceedings, but didn't count
for much. tG
During the debate Lansing was re-.
ferred to in the words which opened
the story and the motion for guide,
posts was introduced and defeated
Finally Lansing was again inserted
in the house bill and it was passed.
And the first duty of the legisla,
ture when it met in the new location
was to name the town Lansing.

"In the woods and mud, amid the
choking miasma, where the howl ol
the wolves and the kissing of the
massauga and groans of bullfrog:
resound to the hammer OF the wood
pecker and the solitary note of the
nightingales."
Doesn't sound much like the de-
scrip.ion of Michigan city, does 1t !
And it isn't likely the description
would fit any Michigan city of today
yet it was applied to Michigan's
present capitol, Lansing, during the
heated proceedings of the Legislature
of 1847 when that august body was
trying to pick site upon which t.
establish. a capitol when it became
necessary to remove the seat of gov
ernment from Detroit. And to show
how popular with some of the legis'
lators the present site was at that
lime, a motion was made in the sen
ate that 800 be appropriated with
which to set guideposts so people
could find their way to the capitol
should Lansing get it.
All Of which brings US to the story
of how Lansing came to land the
capitol. am why Grand Rapids, Ea-
ton Rapids, jackson, Kalamazoo
Flint, Lyons and pretty nearly every
other point of Importance in the state
failed to land it. There are still
those who believe Lyons should have
been chosen and the record of pro
ceedings of the legislature which
chose the present capitol site seem
to bear them out somewhat in their
theory.
The first constitution of the state
of Michigan was really what caused
all the fuss, as this constitution, af-
ter locating the capitol at Detroit, a
proceeding with which apparently ev-
erybody was satisfied, provided il
should remain in the City of the
Straits only until 1847, when it was
to be permanently located by the leg
islature.
And with such a nice important
job as permanently locating the
capitol, could it be imagined the
legislature of that time would leave
the capitol alone and not do bit of
scrapping and fussing?
The matter was taken up in the
message of Gov. Alpheus Felch, ano
when the legislature convened Jan
6, the house went into committee OF
the WnOle ana SeleCIeI COfnlfllIlce
to suggest something along the lines
of capitol site.
And just to show how much har-
mony there was in the bunch, there
were three reports, one favoring
leaving the capitol at Detroit, one
opposing Detroit as site, as in case
of war with England it could be cas-
lily attacked, and the other favoring
its location in the north woods for
the purpose of attracting settlers to
that locality.
At that time the Central railroad
was "furthest north" in Michigan and
many of the legislators were siren
uously opposed to placing the capi-
tol site anywhere north of this rail
way. But in the legislature an or
ganization was formed under the title
Of the Northern Rangers with the
avowed purpose of locating the cap
itol north of this line.
February 10 the house met, with
Rep. James l.. Glenn in the chair
and the fight commenced. An offer
had been made by James Seymour
who had built a sawmill at North
Lansing, then merely a very small
dot on the map, 10 give the state a
capitol site in the Township of Lam
sing. Ingham county. There wasn't
any Lansing city at that time.

Gave Surprise Party

A surprise party was given at the
home of Mrs. Allie Hale, 918 James
street, Thursday evening, to cele-
brate her birthday anniversary.
Although Mrs. Hale's birthday ami
versary was not until Friday, her
friends planned the party day
ahead of time so that no suspicion
on the part of Mrs Hale would be
aroused. About thirty of her friends
and relatives gathered to celebrate
the occasion. Refreshments were
served by the guests and a general
good time was had by all. However,
before the party had broken up gift
was presented to Mrs. Hale in re-
membrance of the party by her
friends.

Bessemer, October 6.-(Specia1t9-
News was received in Bessemer Fri
day afternoon announcing the death
Of N. o. Nelson. founder of the Nell
son Foundry company in this CITY,
which occurred last night at his
home In Los Angeles. Call
The death of Mr.. Nelson removes
a notable figure from the industrial
circles of the country in different
sections OF which he founded foun-
dries and plumbing plants and
stores, the largest of which was To-
Gated at La Claire, ILL.,. near st.
Louis and in New Orleans.
In the Birmingham district he
founded the Nelson Foundry plant in
Bessemer, which is one of the oldest
plants in the city, and the Nelson
Manufacturing company in Birming-
ham.
Probably no Industrial pioneer
who established plants IN the city
has left more lasting influence
than that of Mr.. Nelson. who was
revered by his employees. The set
Element house which he built for
the negroes providing training with a
kindergarten and domestic sciences
by efficient negro teachers has been
of inestimable benefit to the negroes
of the city.
He was nationally known as lee
turer and sneaker and at one time
was possesse1 of immense wealth, a
great deal of which was d eminated
through various charitable organiza-
lions and institutions.
Bessemer people loved him for his
charitable disposition and for his I'M
falling interest at all times in Besse-
mer and its citizens and many In net {
