JOSEPH L. MORRISON
An Appreciation
j. II. Daily

There died upon the evening
of May 19, at the home of his
son-in-law, Geo. H. Horsfall, a
man whose career emphasized
in the concrete the spirit of the
line that says, Westward the
trend of empire takes its way"
Born-in Alabama in the days
of the Old South, Joseph L. Nor
rison was taken by his parents
to Iowa at an early age. Upon
the death of his mother, and the
subsequent remarriage of his
father, he obtained permission
from the latter at the age of six
teen to accompany an uncle
across the plains to the Oregon
Country" The train to which
he was attached experienced the
usual vicissitudes of pioneer
travel but arrived in Oregon in
1853 comparatively intact. From
this time on his activities were
concerned with Oregon, and to
a limited extent, the adjacent
states.
OF a daring, impetuous nature,
it was inevitable that he should
be drawn into the Indian War of
1855. His youth-he was but
in his teens, and his liking
for dangerous assignments, won
for him the sobriquet, Jack Of
War" 1t was in this campaign
that his innate love of risk led
him to volunteer with a chum
to steal through the Indian cor
don that surrounded his COM
rades, and to ride from Walla
Walla to The Dalles with an ap-
peal for re-inforcements. He
and his companions-at-arms
traversed the one hundred sew
enty-five miles in record time
with one changing of horses.
They had skirmish with the In
dians once but their superior
mounts enabled them to outdis-
tance their pursuers.
With the men OF his dav he
followed many vocations inturn.
NOW running" cattle of his own
on the Walla Waila range, now
panning for gold in the creeks.
now engaged in railway bridge
construction, he followed that
free, untrammelled choice in oc-
cupations so characteristic of
the early West.
FOr twenty years past his
nome has been a picturesque
log house of his own building
on the Falls City-Siletz road.
There many a wayfarer found
food and cheer abundant. and
many kindly thoughts 90 back
TO him and to the faithful wife
OF fifty-three years, who now
survives him.
During his declining years his
porch rocker was veritable
Grandfather's Chair" from
the number and interest of the
tales with which the hearers
might be regaled. Raids upon
cattle-steal'ng Indians among
the tule lakes of the KIan,otb
region, packing over the Blue
Mountains, :. a target-shooting
match with Gen. Lane in which
he was slightly worsted. all
gave him sources for vivid tales
which held the listener.
Ihey are passing. No more
is there need of the Chinook lar
gon. Fenced herds need no
range rider. The pack mule has
yielded to the iron horse ),

PIPE LINE ACROSS OCEAN
Irish Manufacturer Has Scheme Which
 Will Save Shippers a Consider able A'nount of Money Yearly.

An Irish manufacturer has prepared In detail plan for laying an 16-inch submarine pipe line between the Brit ish isles and America, which, accord ing to estimates, would transmit oil to England at small fraction of the pres ent transportation cost The scheme is described In the Popular Mechanics Magazine As proposed, the pipe would be made of steel ribbon on the helical- tube principle, so as to be flexible. The overiappings of the ribbon as it winds round and round itself would be packed With asbestos twine. The tube would De able to withstand an internal press ure of 2,000 pounds and an external pressure of 10000 pounds per square inch. Around it would be woven Il cot ton casing coated with preservative To give the pipe longitudinal strength a stranded steel cable would be put inside. Twenty vessels would be em- ployed to lay the pipe, each being as signed a 130-mile section. The scheme calls for an outlay of S50,o00,000. It Is estimated that the transportation cost per 1000 gallons per 1000 miles would be about 30 cents. By tank steamers it is about $50.

RECOGNIZED WORK OF BIRDS
sponcsd to Appeal to Save Their Friends From Extermination.

Three hundred million dollars worth of the cotton crop WAS damaged by the cotton boil weevil in the last year and birds, especially quail, con sider such fare treat and have fondness for ridding the farmer of the enemies of his crops. What the good birds do in the destruction of in- sects injurious to mans interests Is little short of marvellous.
 One year at the headquarters of the National Audubon society wire came stating: Birds are dying in Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri in great num- bers-result of sleet and snow." In response o the wire $600 worth of grain, seed and chaff was distributed. together with grit, to the birds and saved many of the insectivorous birds and game birds. The postmaster gen eral ordered the rural-mail carriers to distribute the feed free of charge.
