ents, and located in Iowa, where he
was educated in the public schools,
later graduating from the State Uni
versity. He came west and followed
the vocation of miner in Colorado,
Wyoming and Nevada. In 1888 he
was appointed United States Internal
Revenue Collector, with headquarters
at Eureka. In 1886 he was elected on
the Republican ticket to the Survey
or-Generalship of the State, and was
re elected in 1890, which Office he held
until elected Governor III 1894, be-
ing inaugurated in 1895. His interest
in irrigation, which was his forte, has
attracted the attention Of the Pa
