Those -hills were his home and ft was there that his thoughts turned as he lay in bed in his last illness. . W1 wish that the end might come to me while hasting in those mountains,” he told a friend who visited the bedside shortly before his death. He wanted to take his gun and again tramp through the familiar haunts he was »never to see again. As discoverer of the Oregon Caves, Elijah Da­ vidson is one of the best known of southern Oregon pioneers. It Was back in 1874, 53 years ago, that he pursued a bear into the very mouth of the cav­ erns, the first time the Ckves had ever been entered by a human. His memory will be associated with the Chves and with the mountains in which be found his home.

No doubt Soldiers Field will contain a huge gathering wherf the men climb into the ring. z Sometime the newspapers of the country will come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter a great deal who happens to be the reigning champion of the prise ring and then million dollar gates will be things of the past There is no donbt but that millions of people are interested in the outcome of the coming bolt, but We seriously doubt If a very large proportion are Inter­ ested in the mass of rubbish sent out daily about every move of the participants. Few care whether Tunney runs one mile or ten today and Dempsey’s mauling of his sparring partners has about the same general interest, we would imagine.

While it is the dominating intelligence that tells in the long run, people of lesser strength of character often tore judged by their physical, appearance rather than by their real self. .I t is an admitted fact that men of commanding kppearanoe and women possetaing beauty have a distinct advantage in the impression they make upon their fellows, though this advantage is by no ineans an dverwhelming one and often men insigni­ ficant physically and women of plain features win their way to positions of prominence and honor.
