Richard in Town.

The town woke to a matter-of-fact
day. The sensational aspect of the
runaway river had passed with the
night. The word spread that the food
waters were under control; that the
men had gone home to sleep. 50 the
women got breakfast as usual, and
tidied their homes. The Colorado was
always breaking out, like a naughty
child from school. Never would the
cry Of "rhe riverw fail to drag the
blood from their cheeks. But relief
always came; the threatened danger
was always averted. and these pioneer
women had acquired the habit OF swift
reaction.

:AUTONIoBU.ISTS COMPLAIN OF
NARROW PLANKfNG ON GUIDE

Various complaints are being ex-
pressed by Lynden automobilists ov-
er the improvement now under way
on the approaches to the Guide Mer-
idian River Bridge. Planks are be-
ing laid lengthways to width Of on
ly eight feet across the worn bridge.
Automobile men say that this mar
row road is too cramped to give much
relief on a road as much travelled as
the Guide. They also point out that
in wet weather machines that have
to turn out from this new ridge may
be in danger of skidding, and that
nasty accidents may result. That the
old part of the bridge will be dam
aged seriously by heavy vehicles that
are forced to turn out on it, is anoth-
er contention made.
A request will be made to the
county commissioners to revise their
plans and to widen the sw planking
to a point where 1t. will take care OF
the traffic adequately,

GATHER FOR FUNERAL
OF WIFE OF PASTOR
Friends Tax Capacity Of Church To
Pay Last Respects To Late Mrs. w.
o. BeAadom

With a corps OF visiting ministers
in charge of the services. the funer-
al of the late Mrs. w. o. Benadom,
wife of the Rev. w. o. Benadom, was
held Saturday afternoon at the NJ.
E. Church. The capacity of the
church was taxed with the great
crowd of friends that gathered for
the services.
Rev. J. NJ. Canse preached the SER
mon, and he was assisted in the ser
vices by Rev L. C. Schults, Rev. G..
C. King, Rev. j. NJ. Hixson, and Rev.
H. H. Newman.
Pall-bearers were Frank Bostwick,
D. L. Steffe, John Tremain, ST., Will
liam Jacobs, George Frick and John
Beatty.
Rev. Canse sketched the life of
Mrs. Benadom as follows:
Harriet Jane Var ASSET was born
in Seattle Oct. 8, 1866, and died IN
Bellingham May 90, 1919, aged So
years, 7 months and 20 days.
She was the daughter of Henry and
Jane Van ASSET, who were among
the first pioneers of Seattle. In 1886
she moved with her parents to Hood
River, Oregon. and in 1888 was mar
ried to the Rev. w. o. Benadom.
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of that place. OF this happy
union, there were born five children
OF whom four remain to mourn her
loss-Mrs. William Nichols of Seat
tie, Clyde Benadom of Kent. Mrs. Ell
zie Tremain and Theadoris Benadom
of Lynden. Her aged mother, Mrs.
Van ASSET, also survives her.
With her husband and family, she
itinerated from place to place in the
work of the ministry, oftimes work
ing beyond her strength, but gladly
and cheerfully doing what she could
for the good of others. She had a
remarkable voice and consecrated it
to the Lords work. She served the
church in the capacity of organist
and as Sunday School teacher.
About two years ago, she had a
nervous breakdown, and at that time
it was discovered that she had a
goitre.
She was An indefatigable worker
In the Missionary Societies, and at
one time was the district organizer
for the Womans Home Missionary
Society.
Thoroughness and efficiency was
her watchword. Whatever she did
was well done.
A loving and faithful wife, a true
| and tender mother, conscientious
and sincere Christian woman, she
labored with untiring devotion for
God and humanity until the Master
said. 1T is enough; come up higher.
On Friday, May %, she was taken
by her husband to St. Luke's Hospit-
al. Bellingham, where splendid med
zeal help was secured, but she con-
tinued to grow worse until Thurs
day morning at three o'clock, she
closed her eyes to the things of earth
and slipped away to be with God.
In the home, in the church and
in the community, she will be sadly
missed, but it is Gods Way" sc
with aching hearts, we say, Gods
Will Be Done"
