 To Be Elected

The resignation of W. F. Lew is as councilman was accepted at the council meeting Monday night and the office was declared vacant without an appointment being made, to allow the voters to choose 4 councilmen in the next election on April 4.
 In reference to a charge made by Mir. Lewis in an open letter that money was wasted when holes were filled with gravel and the next day the streets were graded, Councilman Sholl street committee chairman, said the work was ordered filling the holes because it was needed and it was not known at the time the graders were available. MT. SholI said the graders had to be used whenever they could do the work as the city had no control over their availability.
 The council voted to buy a new International truck for

Bow, A, Disappears; Search Yields No Clue

Little hope is held for the safe recovery of Jimmy Eaton, age 4 son of MT. and Mrs. Henry Ea- ton, who mysteriously vanl-hed Sunday afternoon. Jimmy had been playing at the Jack Delane residence near Bert's drug store and about l o'clock he was sent home little over 2blocks away The parents went after Jimmy sometime after 6, which was the. time of the first knowledge that he was missing.
 After a prelim naIy search report was made to officials and a thorough search was started that night. The next day 1t was continued as military authorities cooperated and furnished over 200 soldiers who helped SCOUT nearby islands, woods, lakes and homes for 2 days. On Mon ay all school boys above the 4th grade were dismissed and Jolned in looking for him.
 Jimmy was dressed in a dark blue suit with Sam Browne belt and wore a dark blue cap with a gold emblem on it. Auth critics are mystified by the lack of reports on Jimmy, who was a familiar figure about town.
 One report investigated came from the sons of MT and Mrs k E. Dawson, who said they saw Jimmy about 3 alone walking on Mission road about l l-2 miles from own as they passed him in a t uck. A second report placed him by the waterfront beach near his home at about 4. No reports have been made since the first day and no articles of clothing Of the boy nor anything else to ind icate his fate has been found.
 The thoroughness of the search and the elapsed time since the disappearance have practically ruled out any explanation other than fou play drowning.
 Among other unfounded rum ors that sprang up during the search was one that the body oF a man was found on a beach out

 Other shell landings have been reported and military officials issued a warning that if unex- ploded shells are found by any one the shell be left alone and a report made to military police so the shell can be removed safely Do not pick it up or try to take 1t apart.
 Amy, navy and marines part icipated in the practice shooting, military authorities said, and a special board has been appointed to determine the cause of the accident.

 The fact is stressed that all people desiring connection and make applications at once on forms available at the office.
 All members also are urged to attend the meeting and look oyer the new plant and vote for the new directors. The election is especially important this year as many policies regarding use of the new power may be de- eided on.

Shells Fall On Kodiak During Practice

Kodiak was the accidental target for live shells yesterday morning shortly after 10 when 4 20 nm antiaircraft shells lit in town during practice firing at a sleeve target lowed by a plane.
 Mraculously, 2 that landed outdoors exploded but the 2 en- tering buildings did not explode so that no one was hurt and damage amounted to only a few dollars.
 One shell lit on Brooklyn ave- nue across from the Cheechako club and Paul Johnson, walking along the street, said he looked around to see who had thrown a firecracker. He said he would not have known it was a shell except that military police ap- peared on the scene and discov- cred the shell hole. Fragments of the shell broke windows in a shack belonging to Erich Muel- Ter and one made a star shaped mark in the plate glass of the Cheechako poolroom.
 The second shell that exploded lit near the Russian churchyard.
 One of the duds penetrated the roof of the Harry Christoph- erson home on Brooklyn avenue, went through the ceiling and part of a staircase and lit on the hall floor. Little Gail Chrlstoph- erson and some playmates were in room opening from the hall.
 The other dud pierced the roof of the Mecca bar, hit the edge of the bar and splintered it, struck the floor and bounced across the room and hit a pinball machine, breaking the glass in it. Bill Fitzgerald, working in the bar before opening hours, said he thought someone was using a shotgun, and that he "got out o
