quarters in the city hall. When the
alarm comes in turn on the switch
and the pumps would start at once.
If necessary send a engineer-fi fireman
down to the plant at once to watch
the performance of the machines and
keep in condition while pumping. The
rest of the time it would be useless
to keep man at the plant all day
long-even if this was done the cost
would be trifiing compared with
force of men under the old system.
Mr.. Cofran was very enthusiastic
over the plan and he said that it was
so simple he could not see any rea-
son why the city should turn such
proposition down. He has talked
with City Engineer Rodgers who is as
radically in favor of the idea as the
originator himself. He can see the
simplicity and the mechanical makeup
of the whole matter-and it is clear
and true. Mayor Green thought the
idea good one and hoped it would
receive the proper attention of the
city authorities on such matters.
Mayor Green is very anxious that
such suggestions be presented at all
times by the citizens of the city and in
this way new plans of value can be in
vestigated by the city.

SHE IS IN DENVER.
Grace Pattie, Ottawa Girl Who
Disappeared, Is Located.
Writes Letter to Her Sister, Al
so a University Student.
THE TIME OF HER LIFE
Left Her Room MysteriOusly on
Monday, February s.
Kansas City Police Worked
Hard to Solve Mystery.
THE TINE OF HER LIFE

Ottawa, Kan, Feb. 25.-Grace Pat
tie, the college girl who so myster-
1ously disappeared a week ago last
Monday. has at last been found.
Her sister, Miss Nell Pattie, also an
Ottawa university student, received a
letter last night
She wrote from Denver and said she
was having the time of her life visit
ing with friends.
Miss Pattie left her room at Charl-
ton Cottage about 2 o'clock, Monday,
February 8 and was not heard from
again until her sister received the let
ter.
When she left the Cottage she was
supposed to have been going to Mar
tins gallery, where the Sophomore
class was to have its picture taken at
three o'clock. A trip certainly was
not contemplated when she left her
room, for she wore her sisters coat
and a stocking cap. She did not take
a thing that would indicate that she
was prepared for a journey.
When she failed to return home
that night it was supposed that she
was staying with some of her friends.
After waiting several hours her sister
became alarmed and telephoned to
her home in Garnett to see if she had
gone there. For a few days all news
regarding her was suppressed and it
was reported IndI ner IrlenQS knew
where she was. The first of last week
a search was instituted and the police
of Kansas City and other places were
notified.
In the Letter which she wrote her
sister, Miss Pattie, did not seem to
think that she had done anything un-
common. She said that she just SEEM
ed compelled to go. She requested that
her grandmother not be told where
she was for fear that she would wor-
~.
It is not known whether she will
return to school or not but it is prob
able that she will not resume her
studies this year.
