II is with deep regret that we record the
sudden death Of MIR. George II. Hebron.
Mr.. Hebron was a gentleman whom 70

He was reserved, but had a genial. gentle
manner that was very attractive ana
gained him the kindly regard or all with
whom he came in contact either socially
or In business.

~ identified with the business OF Seattie

ment of the city In a business way He
was always loyal to Seattle. and though
conservative in his views, was ever ready
10 do what lay In his power TO advance
the city's interests. His untimeiy death
Is a loss to the business interests OF Sc
attic.
Mr.. Hebron was greatly interested In
politics 1t Is not too much TO say that ne
has been recently the leader or large
section of the Republican party. He was
for years one of the inner council or the
dominant section OF his party ana IL IS
well known that his counsel contributed
very much to its success. He was not an
aspirant for personal preferment ana
therein doubtless lay to some measure inc
secret of his political success
Since the departure of Mr.. L. 5. j. Hunt
Mr.. Hebron was closely identfied with
the management of the Post-lntelligencer'
and after Mr. Grants loss at sea he be-
came the guiding spirit of that paper, ana
its responsible editor His methods IN
Journalism were conservative, but at the
same time enterprising. He was gem
erous opponent, and seemed DESTROYS TO
conduct his newspaper controversies IN
the same gentlemanly spirit that charac-
terized his other relations.
To those who are personally perraseo
nv this sudden affiiction, the Press-Ailnes
extends its heartfelt sympathy
