NEW PETITIONS FILED
Councilman James Empey Filed Addi
tional Petitions With the County
Auditor Last Night.

Councilman James Empey took the
new petitions, asking for special
election to submit the question Of Gre
ating a water district, to Montesano
last night and filed them with Auditor
Trask
The petitions contained 800 names.
which make up the deficit to the Pc
tition first presented, as decided by
Auditor Trask. AS only $50 names
were required to complete the number
required by law, promoters Of the
water district project believe they have
a number of names to spare.
There remains 10 days in which
to check up the petitions. AS great
care was exercised in having all the
names on the petitions correspond
with those on the registration books,
Mr.. Empey is convinced the petition
this time will be certified to the COM
missioners.

DAY IS STILL MISSING

All efforts to locate James F. Day,
who was last seen on Christmas eve,
have SO far been unavailing, and his
friends feel that he has met with foul
play.
Day is commonly known among his
friends as "Sue" Day. He has resided
in Aberdeen for nearly 20 years and
was a well-known member Of both
the Elks and Pythian lodges Of Aber-
deem. He had been rooming over the
Baker Hardware store.
Day has no relatives on the Harbor
80 far as known. A brother resides
at Woodman, California, and it is be
lieved that number of relatives live
in Michigan, from which state he
came to Grays Harbor 20 years ago
DAY is about 40 years Of age and Of
excellent habits.

says it darkens the hair so naturally

Followers of state foot ball in Ne

claim OF Nebraska Wesleyan for the
state championship. When Doane AMI
Wesleyan met last Friday It was as
serted that the game would decide the
race for the state title and the Metho-
dists won. But there are those in the
state who declare that Grand Island coll
lego must be considered. This has not
been done. While Wesleyan may have
the best team in the state and may be
able TO wallup Grand Island, II Is still
true that Grand Island has a clean slate
and is entitled to some consideration.
