Slijah Davidson, pioneer resident of Josephine
county and discoverer of the Oregon Gavés, has
passed on, the end coming quietly yesterday after
noon after an illness of several months, says the
Grants Pkss Ooarier.

Mo more will the mountains of Josephine county
see the familiar figure of the veteran hunter and
trapper tending his trap lines near Williams valley,
where he made his home. 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.
Josephine connty has lost another of its pioneers,
whose efforts in early days helped in making a
wilderness into a tend of fertile farms and boauti-

■There is a growing suspicion that the ballyhoo
connected • with the approaching Tunney-Dempsey
fight is becoming a bit .strained—it no longer seems
to have the spontaneouspess of previous big prize
fights. Possibly people are beginning to have the

Ghipago, however is said to be all “ het-up”
about the matter and big crowds are attracted by the
pugilists in their training camps. No doubt Soldiers
Field will contain a huge gathering wherf the men
climb into the ring.

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. If some of our
great newspapers wish to accomplish something
worth while why don’t they try confining their
stories of the affair to the news features and amit the
ballyhoo!

it is the dominating intelligence that tells in the

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
