Former Corvallis Man at Head of Three
Million pllar Company.
Will Fl. Parry, formerly of Cor
wallis, where he was anything but a
financial success, is now president
of the Seattle city council, and is
reputed to be president of a three
mi1lion-do1lar fruit syndicate which
has purchased a thousand acres of
thelbest orange lands of California.
Here is what the California Fruit
Grower has to say about him
William II. Parry, who is presi-
dent of the Seattle city council,
and president of reported newly
incorporated California Fruit Syn
dicate, arrived in San Francisco on
Monday last and is quoted as say
ing that his organization had been
successfully effected and had al
ready acquired by purchase in the
neighborhood of 900 acres of the
choicest producing orange groves of
southern California.
The incorporators and directors
of the company are all people of
prominence in Seattle. The organ
ization was effected under the laws
of the State of Washington with a
capital stock of S., 900, 900.
This is all that can be said on
this matter at this time, such de-
tails as are in fhe hands of Califor-
MIA Fruit Grower not having been

The Ruling Passion,

A good woman was dying, woman
who had been true wife and loving
mother, woman with but one weak
ness-a love of gossip.
Although her time on earth was
short, she was critically watching the
attending physician and the nurse as
they talked In subdued whispers of the
result which their united skill had been
powerless to avert.
In response to the summons of the
dying woman her husband approached
her and bent low to catch the words
which he expected to be words Of love.
Again she turned her eyes, from which
the light was fast fading, upon the doc
tor and the nurse as she said family,
do you suppose they are engaged"
These words were her last.

women and store Detectives.

"The very thing that newspapers
want to know about the way detectives
work in big department stores are the
things we don't want to tell" said
n superintendent when asked about a
conspicuous shoplifting arrest. 1--WE
should be glad to dispense with them
altogether. but we can't afford to. A
clever woman will outwit the shrewd-
est store detective that ever walked.
We have to work cautiously or we lose
our trade. If the detective is a man
and stares at woman too hard, she
makes n complaint at the desk and
tells other women how she was insult
ed. If the store detective Is woman,
she IL likely to get fresh l think the
best store detective In New York today

Benefits From Running.

Running is the great beautifier Of fig
ure and movement. 1t gives muscular
development, strong heart action and
free lung play. The muscle comes
where 1t ought to be, the shoulders go
back, the loins hold the trunk well bal
anced. and the feet take their correct
positions. 1t was running which made
the Greek figure. The more active
tribes of American Indians have been
runners from time immemorial. and
from the chest to the heels they are
much more beautifully built than the
average of white men. Running peo-
pie have usually the firm but elastic
texture which is the beauty of flesh.

EARLY Marriage In China.

1t is nothing rare in China for boys
twelve to fourteen years old to marry.
The physical, moral and intellectual de-
velopment of the contracting parties
has nothing to do with the matter. 9th
er considerations entirely regulate the
affair. An old Chinese aphorism says
that the great business of life is ended
when the sons and daughters are mar
rled. The Chinese parents do not care
to run the danger of postponing the
marriage of their children, especially

Mississippi river shooting is varied
with trips to the sunken lands, which
begin near Hickman, KY, and extend
south several hundred miles on both

covered with dense forest OF large
trees before the land was submerged
by the earthquake of 1911. On the

of wild fowl on Reelfoot lake Is beyond

A STRANGE FUNERAL.
Burial OF an Elephant by Elephants
In a River BED.

BuFtut OF m ny EtephHuNs
In n River he'd.
There is no doubt that the elephant
Is naturally cunning. and the following
extraordinary incident related by Il
planter from Ceylon Is only another
proof. II went after herd OF eight
elephants" he says. "After stalking
got chance at the biggest of the herd
and dropped It at the first shot. About
two hours nfterward had the tail and
feet cut Off and taken to the bungalow.
Next morning went to the spot to
look ut the elephant and to my surprise
found no trace of the body. After look
Ing round saw that the herd had been
back during the night, and | soon dis
covered track where they seemed TO
have retired In body. Following this
up, I eventually came upon the dead
elephant lying Mt the bottom of n rocky
stream. From the tracks II was quite
evident that the body had not been
rolled but carried to the bank. and II
was plain that 1t had been taken
through the long grass which grew on
the bank into the stream. My neigh.
bors were incredulous until l showed
them where the elephants tail and
feet had been cut or and where the
body lay In the stream, which proved
conclusively that by some means or
other the body had been got over the
intervening space in the night. II Is
difficult to understand how elephants
with their trunks and feet could raise
and support the dead body of com
rade. However, they seem to have
managed to do 1t, and 1t is pity no
human eyes saw this strange funeral"
