A son, George Edwin, an only child, decided to bring his wife and four children west In 1851. Lyvla's broth ers and sisters were very much op posed to her coming west but her fond ness for her son a od grand -children made her change her mind at the last minute and she accom panied her son. Mrs. Florence Hart of Menlo Park. Calif., a granddaughter, wrote: "The trip took about a year. They came by way of the Isthmus of Panama. They went by boat down the Atlantic and were In a storm at sea and tho boat was nearly wrecked. They, were weeks overdue and there, was no one to meet the boat when it finally landed. They had difficulty In securing horses to ride to a lake which they crossed In another boat. They managed to get a few horses for the women to ride and their children were carried on their backs. "They finally reached the Pacific oaean and took a boat for San Fran cisco, then a very small place with the houses built on stilts. They ar rived In Crescent City in (he late fall and were obliged to remain in the coast town until snow left trie mountains and the trip to the new home near what la now Holland was long and tiresome. Mother's father had built a good log house whtcn burned to the ground only a few years ago. Grandma Brlggs and Lyvla Brlggs were the only white women In that part of the country for some time. The Indians were around and the children were kept near the houae. When the Indians went on the war path during the Rogue River Indian wars, a fort waa built at the ranch and other families that lived In that section were forted there.

K. Wellington Koo, Chlnere delegate to the Brussels conference, today appealed to the participating powers for more "posl tive action" to end the Chinese-Japanese conflict than, "pious professions of faith in the pledged word." He urged the powers to reconsider a proposed report which calla for indefinite suspension of the parley and declared "an abortive ending of this conference will unwittingly aug ment the already prevailing sense of Insecurity." The conferees, nevertheless, pro ceeded to study the report which rs views the conference's efforts to set tie the Chinese-Japanese conflict and concludes that the efforts have failed. Declaring the conference had had "a atrlklng lack or fruitful results," Dr. Koo said the Chinese delegation reserved the right to propose amend ments to the report after consulta tion with the Chinese government.
