VIM. Young and f0ur cnlldren re-
turned Friday from Calgary, Alberta,
here they have been for seveal months.
Mr.. Young accompanied them as far
as Spokane, where he took train for
the harvest fields and will have in
charge a threshing outfit during the
season. The Youngs had intended to
make Canada their home for sevreal
years, having leased their ten-acre
farm in town to A.P. Gray. However,
the climate did not agree with them
and they did not like the place and
decided that Richland was good enough
for them, so came back. They are
renting one of the Kreidler houses in
town until Mr.. Gray's lease expires, in
March.
The community sing was decided
success. Everyone is enthusiastic in
their praise of the way the affair was
handled by Rev. H. A. Stone, who had
been untiring in his efforts to make
the first sing a record event in local
history. The short, right-to-the-min-
ute speeches of M. M. Moulton of Ken
newick and Alexander Mcpherson of
Pasco, along the line of community in
terest and cooperation, hit the nail
on the head and were heartily ap-
plauded. One of the most enjoyable
features of the entire program was

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Armstrong an
nounce the marriage of their daughter
Edna to Mr.. w. P. Anthony, the cere-
mony being performed at Newport, on
Saturday, July 18th, at the Congre-
gational church parsonage.
The news comes as complete sur
prise to the brides many friends in
Richland and to her parents as well,
The romance, which eliminated in the
happy event, commenced when she
started her course in the Cheney Nor
NAL school last fall. Mr.. Anthony
was also student at the Normal and
will probably be connected with educa-
tional work this coming year.
At the close of the summer term
the newly married couple will drive
to Walla Walla to visit relatives, after
which they will come to Richland for
a short visit with their parents.
The bride was one of the most pop
ular girls in this district, being a
graduate of the class of 1917 Of the
Richland high school. Every possible
good wish is being extended to the
young people for their future happi-
ness. *s

BOMBAYGREATC CITY
Beautiful Metropolis Owes Much
to the Parsis.
UnthinkabIe Towers of Silence Still
Maintained in Heart Of Most Fash.
fonabIe Residential District
Population Now Million.

Bombay now has nearly 100000 In
habitants. At the beginning Of the
nineteenth century 1t already had 2O0,-
600 and early in the twentieth century
the census takers counted 959,537
souls, Eleanor Franklin Egan writes In
the Saturday Evening Post. Nearly
100000 of these are Hindus and $780,
600 are Mohammedans, while less than
10000 are Christians, counting both
pure European and mixed blood.
There are about 10000 Parsis, and
the Parsis are the most interesting and
important element in the community.
It is to British initiative and example
and to Parsi appreciation, intelligence
and generosity that Bombay owes the
fact of her present existence as one of
the most beautiful cities in the world.
Yet the Parsis still maintain the un-
thinkable towers of silence in the
heart and center of Bombay's most
fashionable residential district; the
towers of silence, where the Parsi dead
are disposed of by the forever hover
ing horrible flocks of kites, which on
occasion grow gorged and careless and
drop human flesh and little bones in
the Towering fragrant gardens of the
great on Malabar hill. But what would
you? The towers of silence are un-
thinkab1e only to the Christian mind.
To the mind Of the Parsi all other
methods of disposing Of the dead are
unthinkable.
The Parsis are sometimes carelessly
referred to as Persian Jews or are
grouped with Persian Jews. Of whom
there are good many In Bombay. But
the faith Of the Parsis is not the jew
ish faith. They are Zoroastrians-
worshipers of the sun and fire as the
truest manifestations Of the Almighty
and they came down from Persia In
to India about the middle Of the sew
enth century, when they began to be
grossly prosecuted by the Mohamme-
dan conquerors Of the Sassanian em-
pire.
But they were prosecuted always by
the Mohammedan conQuerors of India
and by the Hindus, until the happy
day arrived for all religions when
British power began to be predominant
in India. But Bombay was purely
British long before the rest Of India
was anything but happy hunting
ground for English merchants, and the
Parsis along with other mistreated ele-
ments in the population fiocked to the
sure shelter of the British flag. There
are only about 100000 Parsis In all
India today and 10000 Of them belong
to the Bombay Presidency or province ;
and at least 10000 of these live In the
city Of Bombay.
Many Of them are gentlemen of the
finest type and they are distinguish
able by their long BACK coats and the
curious stiff black miterlike hats they
wear. Their homes are the most pre-
tentious in the city palaces set along
side British palaces In the most fash
ionable districts; and they control a
tremendous percentage Of the city's
commerce and trade.
