Funeral Of Mr. Morris.

Will Be Conducted This Afternoon From Vassar's Parlors.

Funeral services for the late Mason Morris, a pioneer resident of the Gifford-Summitt and Lapwai regions who died Wednesday in Spokane after an illness of two years, will be held at 2:45 p.m. today at the Vassar chapel. The body will arrive on the afternoon train from Spokane and interment will be made in the Normal Hill cemetery. Rev. D. J. W. Somerville, rector of the Episcopal church, will officiate.

Mr. Morris was 77 years of age and an early settler of Waitsburg, Wash. About 35 years ago he took up a homestead near Melrose on the Nez Perce reservation, and later owned a farm near Summit. Mr. Morris, with Frank Kettenbach, plated the town of Summit and he was connected with the early development of the Gifford prairie. He helped develop the Summit grain tramway, which permitted the marketing of the grain from the Gifford region without the long haul down the Lenore grade.
