MARION

PIONEER
Louis Miller of Turn
er Dies of Paral-
ySiS
Married First White Woman
Born in This Part of
Oregon

At his home in Turner, Marion coun.
ty, Oregon, Friday morning, May 20,
1904, Louis Miller, aged 67 years.
Mr.. Miller was an old Oregon pion-
eer, coming to this state from Mis-.
souri, in the early fifties. He married
a daughter of pioneer who was one
of the first settlers in the Aumsville.
Stayton country, and she is said to
be the first white girl born in that
part of Marion county.
Louis Miller was born in st. Louis.
Mo-, April 10, 1897. In 1853, at at
the age of 16 he crossed the plains,
coming to the California gold fields
where he worked until the outbreak
of the Rogue River war, when he en-
listed and served during '55 and 56
under Captain W. A. Wilkinson. At
ter his discharge he remained in the
mining district of Jackson county,
and in 1861 located in Marion coun-
ty In the war of 1861 he again vol
unteered his services and served for
one year, receiving his discharge at
Fort Vancouver in 1865. In 1868 he
was married to Miss Sallie Davie.
Paralysis was the cause of his
death. He had been doing some
light work in the garden near the
house, when he walked to the house,
presumably to rest and was stricken
down without time to give a word
of warning to this around him. A
physician was soon called, but moth.
ing could be done for him.
Deceased was 81 years old and was
of kindly disposition, making
friends wherever he went, and the
community loses a man of sterling
worth and unsullied character Five
children and a loving and faithful
wife are left to mourn his death.
One son, Roy, was drowned at the
mouth of Salmon river, Tillamook
county, in 1897, and his body never
recovered while the other children
are Mrs. Lizzie Helmken, Salem;
Mrs. Ollie Catterlin, Jacksonville, Or;
Mrs. Louise Small, Turner; Pearl
Miller Turner; Mrs. Emma Cole,

be conducted by the Stayton lodge.

WORK OF THE SCIENTISTS.

Americans Too Busy to Devote Them-
selves to Original Research.
The American man Of science works
ton and assimilation, says the Book
lovers Magazine. The individual and
epoch-making discovery is not usually
made under American conditions. It
has not been here that chemistry has
been recognized by the periodic law of
Mendeiejeff. or physics by Helmholtz's Q
conception Of the conservation Of en-
ergy. The greatest work Of mathe-
matics has not come from Americans,
and it is not from them df we except
the work Of willard and Walcott
Gibbs that the flying leap has been
taken from the conceptions of the
mathematicians to the concepts of
molecular or chemical physics. Amer
lean physicists last winter seemed to
be principally occupied in describing
to more or less popular audiences what
French and English physicists had ac-
complished in radium and radiant en-
ergy.
The broad, continuous record is
made here in a wide round. So is the
practical application of scientific dis
covery made elsewhere; but the initial
discovery, the co-ordinating theory is
not usually American.
Bessemer, German, discovered the
steel process that bears his name. En-
glish capital applied it. The United
States makes more than half the
worlds Bessemer. This is not an in
variable sequence, but it is frequent.
Research in Germany; primary applica-
ton in England; expansion in Amer
lea.
It is in this country, most rife with
the application Of science but deficient
in original research, that Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie has given to this special work
the largest endowment yet consecrated
to the extension of the boundaries of
knowledge. 1t is a favorite theory in
American scientific circles that much
discovery Is stifed here by the insist
ent claims of teaching on time and
strength. If this be so the revenue
of the Carnegie Institute furnishes an
escape If it does not the cause for
the relative absence of discovery must
be looked for in our imperfect elemen-
tary education, which stiles where it
should stimulate and dulls by routine
and mechanical teaching, leaving the
mind unable to profit to the highest by
higher study in succeeding years.

be squeezed the more juice will there

ed to teach a whole generation of

she could not teach her juniors a great
deal about the art of listening on the

to retain the attention of an audience
without clamoring for 1t and Of playing
even the least important scenes so as

stardom, Mrs. Gilbert enjoys. She is
sure Of the heartiest kind of a recep-
