ton lying west of Lake Michigan
which included the area now
known as Wisconsin Iowa, Mime
sofa, and par. of North and South
Dakota. Wlc'I the original Terri
tory of Michigan applied in 1887
for admission as a state, there
existed a bitter dispute between
that territory and the State Of
Ohio as to the boundary line be
tween them, Michigan claiming
an area which would have given
her the port of Toledo at the
southern tip Of Lake Michigan,
and to settle that dispute annie
ably, Congress gave to Michigan
the area now known as the North
ern Peninsula" which Subsequent
ly became extremely valuable
through the development of its
great copper and iron and timber
interests. The section at the west
which had been temporarily at
tached to Michigan was then es-
tablished as the "Territory of Wis
consin," while the area lying di-
rectly west Of the State of Ohio

tations OF this discussion. Ken
lucky was admitted as a state in
1892, and Tennessee in 1896. In
1900 the western part Of the terri
tory northwest of the Ohio and ex-
tending to the Mississippi and the
Canadian line was cut off and es-
tablished under the title OF Indiana
Territory and in 1903 the State Of
Ohio established. In 1905 the ter
ritory lying between Lakes Mich
gan and Huron was established
as the TERRITORY Of Michigan
and it later proved a convenient
nucleus to which to attach for
temporary government the sec

of Georgia, ceied to the Common
Union i'll 1898 became the Terri
tory of Missi ssippi and later the
Territories Of Mississippi and Ala
bama until they We're finally add

1917 and 1919. The transformation
of the western front of Virginia
into the new state Of West Vir-
ginia in 1923 was an incident of

The louisiana Purchase.
Meantime had come the first
great addition to the area of the
United States, the Louisiana Pur-
chase. The area west of the Mis-
sissippi which had been originally
claimed by France as result Of
exploration and been secretly
coded to Spain in 1862 prior to the
expulsion Of France from the con-
tinent, had subsequently been
again secretly transferred and re-
coded by Spain to France in the
year 1900. The complete control
of the mouth of the Mississippi
River by the United States was
extremely important to its people
and the commercial interests,
controlling as it did the exit from
the Mississippi Valley to the Gulf
of Mexico, and when the cession of
the area west of the Mississippi
to France in 1900 became known
commission was sent to France by
the United States Government to
negotiate for the purchase of the
area adjacent to the mouth of the
Mississippi and including the city
of New Orleans. The French Gov
eminent, however, fearing loss
of the entire western area to Great
Britain offered to sell it all to the
United States for $15,000,000, Of
which S11,250 900 would be IN six
per cent bonds of the United States
Government and the remainder to
be paid to citizens OF the United
States having claims against
France, and when this treaty
reached Washington it was quick
ly ratified, in October 1903, and
the area of rhe United States thus
doubled by a single stroke of the
pen.
This "Lo-dsiana Purchase" thus
completed in 1903. which as above
indicated more than doubled the
area Of thc country. included $685.
co. square miles, while the total
a prior to the purchase was
My $4,000 square miles. The
ntire new area was given the title

cut off and es .blished as the Ter
rieory Of dreams" and in 1912 the
"Torritory OF Orleans was admit
ted to the Union as the State of

While this Indian Country" was
slowly being transformed into ter
ritorial and state divisions, there
came the second addition to the
area of the United States in the
purchase of Florida from Spain to
which country Great Britain had
re-ceded it in 1888. The considera-
ton of its purchase from Spain
was to be the payment by the
United States Of various claims
by American citizens against the
Spanish government, which
amounted when paid, including in
terest, to $G,5O0,000 and the terri
tory thus purchased subsequently

The third addition to our terri
tory came in the form Of the State
of Texas VIII Oh had in 1886 seced-
ed from Mexico and established
itself as an Independent republic
and Immediately made application
for admission to the United
States. This application was, how
ever, rejected by Congress when
made in 1897 and again in 1914,
but in January, 1845, Congress
passed an act giving its consent
that the territory properly includ-
ed within the Republic of Texas
may be erected into new state
to be called The State of Texas
and in December Of that year the
Joint resolution admitting Texas
as state OF the Union passed
both House and Senate, the area
being thus admitted as : State

The entertainment for this
number is known as the "Chica-

artist company and one of the
finest in the lyccum entertain
1ent field. The Instrumentation
is ideal, consisting of harp, VIC
lin and cello, the finest Of solo
instruments. Virginia Rice is the
harpist, plays a Lyon & Healy
instrument of rare brilliance and
power, an instrument valued at
a small fortune. Genevieve Mead
is the cellist and Mary Fordham
