W. ttyiin, ono of tho most prominent nnd best beloved women ot this city, this morning at G o'clock at tho family residence, 715 Jefferson street. Death resulted from pneumonia, from which she had been III for four days. Mrs. Ryan had lived in Klamath county for 25 years, during the creat or part of the time at Fort Klamath, where hor husband wai engaged in stock raising and was widely known. Mr. and Mrs. Ryan moved to this city two or three years ngo and pur chased a hnndsome residence, nnd she has slnco made her homo hero. No adequate praise can bo given to a charactnr so noble as that possessed by tho dead woman. She was loyal, atfectlonato and kind, a beautiful ex ample In nil her dally associations of the highest and best of the Creator's handiwork, and the many friends who are left to mourn her will sor row over her passing as If they had lost a sister. Sarah Isabella Snyder was born In tho stnte of Ohio, June 28, 1870. In 1894 she camo to Klamath county to teach In tho government Indian school at tho Klamath agency.

' Mr. and Mrs Ryan bad no children of their own and about throe years ago they adopted tho small daughter of Mrs. Ryan's sister.

Snyder of Berkeley, Cal.

The cour gave no Indication when a decision might be expected, but it Is expected that it will not be before thirty days at least. , SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14. There Is consternation in fuel oil circles here because the San Joaquin Light & Power company has served notice that it will have to stop supplying with electric light and power all the companies It serves for an indefinite period if there is no rain or snow in this district by February 24. Tho San Joaquin valley is the great oil-producing region of California. All the big companies and many small concerns are refining oil in that dis trlct. The San Joaquin company has served them all with electricity, both for light and power purposes. To have this supply cut off means a ffreat'reductiori in the 'Output of 'fuel oil.
