SEARCH STILL ON FOR LOST POWELLS Mr. and Mrs. Otto Powell, who are missing from the camp of the { } Logging Company between the 18th and 20th of last month. Believed to have gone on a hunting trip in the wilds of { } and Lewis counties, they have not yet been found. Although searching parties have been out every day since last Saturday. The whereabouts of the couple is still unsolved. Powell is connected with the { }e Logging Company who { }ng a logging camp in { } in Thurston county. A few days before Christmas the camp closed down until { whe}n they would again restart operations. Mr. and Mrs. Powell remained to watch camp until operations were resumed. It is believed that both Mr. and Mrs. Powell who are ardent hunters started out on a day's hunt in the vicinity of Mt. Krook's, { }. It is said, there is plenty { }. Having arrived at the { }mountain it is presumed they discovered fresh tracks of game for which they were hunting and followed them to the wilds of the Little Nisqually River where they became lost. Expert hunters say that the can{yons of}the upper region of the Nisqually are very dangerous to travel at this time of the year and it is feared that in their trying to follow the Little Nisqually down to the Big Nisqually they either became bewildered or met with some accident which prevented them from pursuing the journey homeward. The theory that the Powell's' are in the upper part of the Little Nisqually is substantiated by the report of P. Parmenter and Jack {Stark} who returned late Tuesday from a two days' search on the south side of Mt. Krook, where they found tracks believed to be of Mr. and Mrs. Powell. The footprints were said to have been made recently and were under a new fall of snow. They were tracked for 300 to 400 yards, when they were lost. The footprints were headed toward the upper part of the Little Nisqually and indicated that they intended to reach the Little Nisqually river and then follow the stream down to the Big Nisqually. A searching party composed of Andy White, U. S. forest ranger; Jack Stark and P. Parmenter, woodsmen of many years experience, and Jack Trumper, who has had twelve years experience in the Alaska wilds, started out Wednesday morning for the Little Nisqually river where they will make a careful search for the lost couple. Provisions to last 5 days or more were taken along, and it is believed upon their return they will be able to give a definite report of some kind. Remainder of column is very bad, bottom 3 inches is missing entirely. Pg. 1, col. 3 ARMY POST MEETING An army post meeting was held in the Eatonville high school auditorium, Friday evening, Dec. 29. C. A. Nettleton presided over the meeting. C. E. Stevens, attorney of Tacoma, gave a talk on the proposed post, pointing out the many benefits that Pierce county and the Northwest would derive from such a post. Among things mentioned was the immense sums of money that would be spent here, by the government and soldiers, also benefits to be derived from the advertising such a post would give. He called attention to the fact that the post would make use of a large tract of land that is now practically useless for any other purpose. County commissioner J. Slayden, followed Mr. Stevens, speaking in favor of the post. He said that very little tax came to the county from the land which would make the site for the post. He said that the increased taxes required to meet the payment of the bound issue would not amount to as much as the taxes now raised to pay for the inter-county river improvement between Pierce County and King County. This work on the inter-county improvement will soon be completed. T. C. VanEaton spoke against the proposed army post. He and Mr. Slayden became involved in a heated argument. The meeting closed while the argument progressed. FOR SALE-A car by a young man painted yellow with a tin horn.
