of George Coates, a former resident
here and son of Mrs. Coates, of Brus-

He retired in fine spirits and a

via. Mrs. Coates gave nim som
harmless medicine; he walked th
floor for a time to induce sleep and
little later dropped at the foot of hi
bed and expired. Dr. E. W. Fox wa
called immediately, but could d
nothing.
Funeral services were held at the
family home Sunday afternoon. Re
ligious services were conducted by
Rev. B. J. Bingle, pastor of the Pres
byterian church, with music by a
special choir of Bellevue singers.
There was a wonderful profusion'of
flowers. Services at the grave in
Bellevue cemetery were under the
auspices of Hailey Lodge No. 16, A.
F. & A. M., with Douglas M. Jacobs,
W. M., in charge. The beautiful
ritualistic service of the order was

Fully 90 per cent. of the Masons
of Wood River valley attended the.
service with many members of the
order from outside points, including
Gov. C. C. Moore, who made the trip
from Boise to be present.
Mr. Coates was a 32nd degree Scot-
tieh rite Mason, a member of El Kor-
ah Temple of Boise, and had been a
member of Halley Lodge, No. 16, A.

BELLEVUE.— The entire corn-
muni:
and. neighboring hborin
g g country re-
ceived a shock when the death of
George T. Coates was reported early
Friday morning. It seems that his
heart
had been bothering him for a
couple of hours and he had gotten
up to take some medicine to ease the
pain and on getting ng hack into bea,
fell across the bed and aeans came
instantly.
George, as he was known all over
Blaine County, was not only an ac-
tive but useful citizen in ..our local
community, But in the state at large.
In 1909 he served as representat;ve
from Blaine county in the lower
house of the Idaho legislature and
in 1911.served as state senator.
For 16' years, in no reluctant way,
did he effectively serve as a member
of the Bellevue school board. For
many years he was one of Bellevue's
most active business men, having
owned. and operated the cold storage
business. He was also active in
Blaine county politics, and for years
was chairman of the Republican cen-
tral committee.
George Thomas Coates was born
at Kinburn, Province of Ontario,
• Canada, February 15th, 1874. being
51 years, 5 months and 20 days of
age at the time of his death, August
14, 1925.
In 1906 Mr. Coates was married to
Miss Eva Wrrneher of Bellevue, to
which union four sons—John, 17,
Kenneth, 16, Robert, 14, and Lloyd
Thomas, 6 years, and one daughter,
Eniri, 12 snare of age—were horn.
Besides the willow and children, he

Mr. Dempsey was very popular ri,

is a very .capable musician and. was

f of teachers in the province. The sur -
for a while as there is a big surplus
bel plus is so great that only last week
st the Canadian Teachers' Federation
i passed a resolution asking the Gov -
w Ieinent to raise the standard for
ur those desiring to enter the teaching
'r, profession. Higher salaries given
ut teachers throughout the whole coun-
1 try have attracted thousands, and now
ed 1 the supply so far exceeds the demand
n- that in some cases 200 teachers are

able work; new the average teacher

There is still one complaint, however,
there are too few male teachers in

of a school principal attracts the men
and the positions of principals are
limited.

Poy and shipped to England in cold storage in a Canadian Pacific vessel, on exhibition'
