UNT|MELY DEATH
Elizabeth George Taken From This
Life Just as She Had Reached the
Threshold of WOmanhOod

Seldom has this community expe-
rienced such general and deep sor-
row as was caused by the news Of
the death of Elizabeth George last
Sunday. Most of her friends thought
that she was convalescing satisfac-
tOrily from the operation for APP
pendicitis, which she had undergone
at the Northwest sanitarium on
March 30. For a time she did i'm
prove and was able to be taken to
her home, but complications deyel-
oped and last Saturday her phys-
clans, Drs. Kinney of Pullman and
Bryant of ColfaX, decided that anoth-
er operation was imperative and she
was taken back to the sanitarium.
where the operation was performed
that evening She rallied we'll but
her heart was unable to stand the
strain and she passed peacefully
away at o'clock Sunday afternoon
surrounded by all the members OF
the family.
Elizabeth George was born at
Colorado Springs, Colorado, October
20, 1901, and was the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. II. II. George,
who moved to Pullman in 1911. She
graduated from the Pullman high
school and entered the State College
last year, being a member of the
present sophomore class Her sun
ny disposition, attractive personality
and the enthusiasm with which she
entered into all high school and col
lege activities made her a general
favorite. While quiet and una8sum-
ing in manner, her poise and
strength of character won the con-
fidence and esteem of all who came
in contact with her. The little chill
dren of the neighborhOod adOred her
and she was never too busy to enter
tain them and listen to their conf
dences She loved her home deyot-
eddy and her CHEEKY efficiency and
affectionate thoughtfulness were
source Of never failing comfort and
JOY in the family circle. Her char
acter was as pure as it was strong
and she was developing into the
highest type of young womanhood
when called from this life to her
eternal home
Simple but impressive funeral
services were held TUESDAY morning
at Kimball's chapel, Mrs c. r. San
ders officiating. Miss Helen Jones
rendered two vocal solos. The
casket was buried amid masses Of
beautiful floral offerings which
overlooked onto the reading desk
and organ. The large attendance
and deep emotion manifested by
young and old alike bore mute wit
ness to the love OF the people for the
departed and their sympathy for the
bereaved family. The pail bearers
were six school friends of Eliza
beth's. From the chapel the BODY
was borne directly to the train and
taken to Spokane, whore It was Gre
mated, aud the flowers distributed
among the hospitals of that city.
The deep sympathy of the whole
community and the consolation of
having none but happy memories OF
the dear one whom they have lost
will be a comfort to the bereayed
parents in their great sorrow.

WEST LEADS IN LUMBER

In 1920 the Pacific and Rocky Noun
tain states combined. produced 1855
per cent of the lumber cut Of the ma.
tion.
Washington holds first place in pro-
duction: Oregon second. for thu first
time displacing Louisiana from a po-
sition held for fifteen years, while
California ranks fifth, displacing an
other yellow pine state.
Indications are that the supremacy
held by the south in lumber produc.
tion is moving west.
laundering is one OF the great EN-.
ploying western industries. in several
OF the states maintaining 60 per cent
of the aggregate payrolls.
Western sentiment should be solid
for measures which protect and en-
courage the development and contln-
uance of this great industry.

port of an unappreciative public. The

modern country newspaper is n bust

thousands OF dollars where hundreds
