public servant. The high honors which have sought him are a testimonial to his official and private life and character.

MALCOLM A. MOODY.

Malcolm A. Moody was born in Brownsville, Linn county, Or., November 30, 1854, and is the eldest child of Hon. Zenas F. Moody, ex-governor of this state. He was educated in the public schools of Oregon and at the university of California. Upon leaving college he entered mercantile business at The Dalles with his father, who had resided there with his family since 1862. For years The Dalles was the distributing point for freight destined to Eastern Oregon and Washington, as well as a depot to which all roads led for the products of such section bound for market. It was the business of the firm to act as forwarders, and through this our subject became known to the stockraiser, the miner, the business houses and husbandman as a man of integrity, honor and capacity for a wide field of work. In 1887 the mercantile business was merged into The Dalles National bank, of which he was elected cashier. From 1885 to 1889 he was a member of the city council of The Dalles, and in 1889 was elected mayor, serving two terms. He has been a member of the republican state central and congressional committees continuously from 1888 to 1898. He has been Oregon's member of the executive committee of the Republican League of the United States since 1895, and also a member of the executive committee of the republican league of this state. It was conceded in 1898 that Oregon's member of congress from its second district should come from the eastern portion of the state. The delegates from this section to the republican state convention, held on April 13, 1898, submitted the name of Mr. Moody as the man of their choice, and he received the nomination by acclamation. He was not put forward as an orator, the possessor of great legal knowledge or learned in other professions, but rather because of his abilities as a business man, a tried and true one, a man they knew would be a credit and benefit to the state both by his work and actions. On the following 6th of June the election took place, and he received more votes than all his competitors combined. His votes were 21,291, against 14,643 for Charles M.

Donaldson, fusion (people's, democratic and silver-republican parties); 2,273 votes for H. E. Courtney, regular people's party, and 1,120 votes for G. W. Ingalls, prohibition party. Mr. Moody is a bachelor, but the cares of commercial and political life have not prevented him from going into society, in which he is a favorite.

ROBERT SHARP BEAN.

Hon. R. S. Bean was born in Yamhill county, November 28, 1854. His father, O. S. Bean, a native of Missouri, came to Oregon in 1852, and settled in Yamhill county, where he married Miss Julia A. Sharp. In 1855 he moved to Lane county, near Eugene, where he died in March, 1890. Here the judge passed his boyhood on a farm during the summer and attending the district school in winter, until September, 1869, when he entered Christian college, now the state normal school, at Monmouth, where he graduated in June, 1873. He then worked at the carpenter's trade for about a year, when he entered the office of Hon. J. M. Tompson, in Eugene, as a law student. In December, 1876, he was admitted to the bar, and soon thereafter entered into a partnership with Mr. Tompson. with whom he was associated until that gentleman's death, in February, 1882. In September, 1877, he entered the state university, and graduated with the first class of that institution in 1878. In June, 1882, he was elected judge of the second judicial district, to fill the unexpired term of J. F. Watson, who resigned to accept the appointment of United States district attorney. In 1886 he was reelected for the full term of six years, but before the expiration of that time he was elected an associate justice of the supreme court. By the rotation in office provided by law, in 1894 he became chief justice. In September, 1880, he married Miss Ina E. Condon, daughter of Professor Thomas Condon, the eminent geologist, who came to Oregon in 1853 as a Congregationalist missionary. Judge Bean is a man of industrious habits, fond of home and devoted to his profession; in no sense a politician, but every inch a lawyer, a conscientious and a just judge, in whom the people of the state have great confidence. For many years he has been on the board of regents of the state university, and is now president of that body.
