JOHN H. MITCHELL.
John H. Mitchell was born in Washing- ton county, Pennsylvania, June 22, 1835. His parents soon moved to Butler county, and here he was reared on a farm. He received his education in the public schools, Butler academy and at the Witherspoon in- stitute, completing a full course in the two latter. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in the spring of 1857 and prac- ticed his profession in Butler county until April, 1860, when he came to California. and the following July to Oregon, where he has been permanently located when not repre- senting the state in the national capitol. In 1862 he was elected state senator from Multnomah county, and was president of the senate during the regular session of 1864 and the special of 1865. In 1865 he was lieutenant colonel of the state militla. and in 1866 his friends endeavored to elect him to the United States senate, but failed by one vote. In 1872 he was elected to that honorable position on the first ballot. At the expiration of his term the legisla- ture was democratic, and his name was not presented. In 1882 he was again put for- ward, but lacked a few votes of being

BIOGRAPHICAL.
elected. In January, 1885, he declined to allow his friends to use his name. At this session there was no election, and the gov- ernor called a special session to convene in November following, and at such time he was again returned by a sandsome ma- jority. In 1897 his friends were in the minority, and his name was not presented. During the last moments of the session of 1901, just closed, he was nominated and received a majority vote.
Mr. Mitchell is a man of remarkable en- ergy and untiring industry, and through- out his public career has been distinguished for keen discrimination and quick grasp of great and intricate questions. He is whole-souled, generous and sympathetic, and true in his friendships. He has thus gathered around him a host of earnest and loyal adherents from all political parties, and it is doubtful whether any other man in Oregon has as much of a personal fol- lowing as he has. He is of striking pres- ence, an interesting conversationalist, a logical and forcible speaker and of polished address and courteous manner. .
B. F. ALLEN
Was born in Otsego county, New York, in 1845. He went to Illinois with his par- ents at the age of 6, and remained on a farm until the civil war. When old enough to pass muster he enlisted in the One Hun- dred and Thirty-second regiment, of Illi- nois Volunteers, and was a soldier until 1865. He then apprenticed himself to an imitator of woods, commonly called grainer. He worked in many of the large cities of this country for some years. Since 1886 Mr. Allen has been a resident of this place. He is the senior member of the firm of Allen & Son. dealers in paints and wall paper. In politics he is a democrat, but was elected representative from Clatsop county, which he represents, on the citizens ticket.
P. R. KELLY
Was born in lowa, July 13, 1870. At the age of seven he came with his parents to Cali- fornia, but the next year removed to Albany, where he has since made his nome. He was educated in the public schools and at Albany College, graduating from the latter in 1887. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1892, and immediately began the practice of his profession at Albany. He was elected by the republican party to the state senate as joint senator for the counties of Linn and Marion in 1898, the present session closing the four years term.
L. L. PORTER.
Eighteen hundred and fifty-nine was the year of his birth, and Wisconsin the state of his nativity. He received his education at the Oshkosh Normal school, receiving a life diploma for teaching in the schools of that state. After teaching in several of the leading schools, he took the law course at the University of Wisconsin, and then came to Oregon, locating at Oregon City. He was elected joint senator for the coun- ties of Clackamas and Marion in 1898, and was in attendance at the special session of that year and the regular of 1899. He closes the four years term, for which he was elected, at the present session.
W. TYLER SMITH, M. D.
Dr. W. Tyler Smith, senator from the joint district of Lincoln, Tillamook and Yam- hill counties, was born in London, Eng- land. He came to Oregon 25 years ago. Some 20 years since he located in Sheri- dan, Yamhill county, where he has since re- mained practicing his profession. He is a republican.
WILLIAM SMITH
Was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., April 22, 1854. At the age of 2 years he removed with his father's family to Minnesota. Here he was educated and admitted to the bar in 1886.

THE LATE HENRY L. YESLER, OF SEATTLE.
The career of Henry L. Yesler is a brilliant example of the opportunities which America and American realty in- vestments afford to young men of pluck and enterprise. Moreover, his career is so interwoven with the growth and de- velopment of the new state of Washing- ton that it must have an interest for readers everywhere.
Henry L. Yesler was born at Leiters- burg, Washington county, Md., in 1810; a date so far away from the busy pres- ent that he was two years old when Jackson defeated the English at New Or- leans, and five when the English defeated Napoleon at Waterloo. His early years were ones of toil, for sprung from the commonality he was born to labor, and though in his old age he was favored · +with the fairest smiles of fortune, and dwelt in a palatial residence by the dark . waters of Puget Sound, he loved to tell of his early trials and struggles, and of the means by which from poverty he achieved fortune.
His school days were spent in an old log cabin, where rudimentary English was taught. He was not satisfied with the knowledge of the log-cabin school, for when apprenticed to a joiner he con- tinued to prosecute his studies earnestly. In the year 1830 he started with a com- panion for the West. He located at Massilon in Ohio, and in the days when that state was in reality a wilderness.
He arrived in Ohio with $5 in his pocket, and he struggled for nineteen years to lay the foundation of a fortune -a struggle that was vain-and in 1851 he resolved to join the gold-seekers that were coming West to share in Califor- nia's extraordinary prosperity. He crossed the plains with a team, but when he reached the Sierra Nevada the fame of the Willamette valley drew him to
Portland. The present leading commer- cial city of the Northwest was then a village of six or seven hundred people, and as it afforded facilities for lumber- ing. Henry Yesler settled there. For- tune was, however, again unkind, the little money that he had brought was lessened, so he departed from Portland and went to San Francisco. At that point he became acquainted with a sea captain who had been trading in Puget Sound. The captain told Yesler of the wonderful harbors of the sound, and of the wealth of lumber that lay adjacent to its waters. Yesler saw, or thought he saw, a future in the lumber trade of Puget Sound, so he took ship and reached the sound at the end of 1852. He located on the bay which is now the harbor of Seattle.
The country around was covered with the primeval forests of vast growth and great value. Six or seven log cabins were located in the woods close to the shore, but when Yesler arrived for the purpose of building a sawmill the few settlers readjusted their claims so as to allow him to take up two claims, one for himself and one for his wife, close to the shore. In the beginning of 1853. the modest sawmill was put in opera- tion. Yesler was then in his forty-fourth year, and he soon found that he had at last chanced upon the right place. and his history since is the history of Seattle.
He built a cook-shop for the men working in the mill, and the cook-shop was in turn the church, the courthouse, the theater, and in civil and territorial politics the forum for the budding states- men of Seattle. '
The . Indians saw a town growing around the sawmill; they beheld the barges of the white men coming and de- parting o'er the sea, and once more their

wild warwhoop was heard in the woods, as they rushed down to slay the unsus- pecting white men of Seattle. For two years the pioneers of the little hamlet struggled bravely to maintain them- selves, and at last, by the assistance of the government, they were able to ter- rorize the Indians to submission, and drive them back to the reservations.
Meanwhile strangers began crowding in as the fame of Puget Sound was spreading, and when the Northern Pa- cific railroad began to build towards the sound there was a veritable rush to get hold of good property along its shores. Moreover, discoveries were daily made of coal and iron in the mountains, and
the settlers on the land found a soil as fruitful and prolific as that of Lombardy or Bengal. Henry Yesler was growing old, but the sight of the prosperous city growing up around his sawmill made his heart fresh. Once, twice, three times his sawmill was destroyed by fire, but a petty disaster could do no financial damage to a man whose townsite prop- erty had advanced to over $100,000 an acre. Indeed, of the 360 acres which he held right in the heart of the city, some of it realized more than $200,000 an acre, for lots in Seattle today range up to $1250 a front foot. It need hardly be said that Yesler grew to be more wealthy than his fondest dreams ever antici- pated.
CO-OPERATIVE INVESTMENTS.
When the older sections of our coun- try, a third of a century ago, sent their sons to possess the boundless and prom- ising lands that lay to the west of the Blue mountains, it was not the weak and slow who went, but the hardy and strong -the best of the sons and daughters of America, who could not only possess the land, but hold it against the discourage- ments of after years, as well as the phy- sical hardships of the early days. In this fact, may be found the reason for a growth that has been as substantial and is as permanent as it has been phe- nomenal in its rapidity.
· In a recent ride across Oregon and Washington the writer was amazed at the evidences of prosperity and development seen upon every hand. Was this the land that-as it seems in memory-on vester- day was held by the Indian and frontiers- man? It is not only the oldest of us who can remember when the first shrill note of the locomotive was heard bevond the Mississippi, and now the iron lines gird the territory in every direction. The war was not long ago, and yet it was only just before the war, when the white wings of the emigrants' wagons were
spread to these breezes ; and a new trail was cut across the mountains. America has many marvels, and among the great- est is the leap westward that civilization has taken the last twenty-five years.
As one sits at the car windows, roll- ing along over lines that in all respects are the equals in safety and comfort of the older roads to the east, he involun- tarily asks : "Why may not this be Ohio. or even New England? Here are farms well tilled, here are little villages clus- tered about with the schoolhouse, court house and church side by side. Here is prosperity, and that industrial thrift that makes prosperity secure. Here, in these larger towns, are the houses and blocks of stone and brick, the streets well paved, with water works, electric lights. gas, street cars and similar necessary adjuncts of this progressive age. Here. in the residence quarters, are handsome and substantial homes. Can it be that even the foundations of these were laid less than two score of years ago?" No wonder that the traveler from the older and sedate nations across the sea views it all in a maze of wonder: and he ac- cepts the most improbable yarn of the

romancer without hesitation, simply be- cause he has wondered at so much that he knows to be true, that he accepts as truth all that he is called upon to won- dler at.
The pioneers in any land are usually the men whose capital lies in their strong hands, habits of industry and willing- ness to work-men who do not carry capital with them, because they have lit- tle to carry, and are going amid the open- ing chances of a new land to seek wealth, rather to invest that which they have. This admitted, how comes it that these newly-made states and newly-built towns are able to spring up as if in a day, and to show the safe investment of millions of cash ?
In the answer to this we discover cne of the new inventions of modern' finance-one of the skillful means which wise men have created to make the old and wealthy east and the young and ac- tive brain and brawn of mutual aid to each other ; union of the two together, in such compact of mutual help as shall aid them .both.
The East has, in great or small sums, the accumulated wealth of generations of labor. invention. development and thrift, while the West had only the foundation of the present-the land-and the sure returns of the future, provided capital enough could be secured to make sure their development. Under old meth- ods and in former times that capital would have been obtained by generations of toil and frugal living, but in this age of steam and electricity a method much more direct and equally secure. was de- vised. The overflow of the East was loaned to the. West : and every dollar so taken out of the plethoric idleness of Eastern vaults was so invested as to make the security perfect, and give the new community the needed means with which to do its work. One thing the investors were sure of it. The value of today would be sure of an increased value tomorrow, as the country grew. popula- tion came in. new railroads opened. and natural resources were developed-thus increasing the value of the security, and making the investment more safe.
As one writer, in his description of the wonderful growth and development of Portland, Oregon, and the territory of which it is the metropolis, has recently said :
"An inland empire is tributary to Portland, Oregon. As of old, when it was said that all roads lead to Rome, so Portland, with her railroads radiating in every direction, and her unrivaled rivers reaching east, north and south. has long enjoyed her proud position as fi- nancial and business center of the great Northwest.
"The demand for capital to develop and improve this vast territory is in- creasing from year to year, and the se- curity available is augmenting as im- provement advances. So long as manu- facturers, farmers, miners and others can obtain money for their various im- provement purposes, the material growth and progress of the country must inev- itably follow.
"The West acknowledges its debt to. the East. It has received men and money; men who have seen in a newer country, with growing values, better chance to accumulate and quicker re- wards for labor; men of ambition and keen business foresight. Eastern money has been and is a necessity in the West. Without it the marvelous growth could not have been obtained in such limited time. So much wealth could not have been produced on the soil in ages. Much of this capital from the East has come in the hands of its owners to stay ; more has sought investment through the hands of agents, in whom the investors had con- fidence. There are many reasons why Eastern investors should prefer loans in this field, as they represent greater se- curity than Eastern loans, on account of simple title, larger margins and rising values of lands. The safety of such in- vestments has been demonstrated many times.
"The demand in the money centers grew as people began to understand and appreciated the investment in Western securities, and naturally there was seen the need for better facilities for the transfer of business between the two

sections. Hence the Co-Operative In- vestment Company was organized-not suddenly created out of the theory of some speculator-but slowly and. surely evolved out of experience and because of the demand, and has proved safety and usefulness by the test of time. This corporation was formed with a special view to the investment of capital in city realty and mortgages. This company has facilities unsurpassed for obtaining in this rapidly growing section the best possible investments and at earning ca- pacities .which, counted as interest, are
phenomenal. The laws of Oregon are all that can be desired for the protec- tion of investors, and should inspire the greatest confidence in the minds of East- ern investors. This company are now issuing a series of first mortgage bonds. bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum, running ten years, secured by trust deed on improved property, and no better investment could possibly be made. The bonds are for a sum of S100 each, thus enabling small as well as large investors to obtain a secure holding.
