HON. W. f. YATES.
Republican Candidate for State
Senator from Benton County.

The subject Of this sketch was
born torty-seven years ago in
Linn County, Oregon, and was
reared on his fathers farm about
three miles east of Corvallis. He
was the eldest child of the fami-
ly, and early in life was thrown
upon his own resources and de-
veloped the ability for making
his own way and caring for HIM
self, which quality has clung to
to him through life. His first
education was obtained in the old
Orleans school house which still
stands about two miles east OF
this city in Linn County. His
first instructor was Miss Lizzie
Walker, now the wife of Joseph
Hite, citizen of this county. He
early developed a liking tor
books, and by taking advantage
of the three months district school
in his home neighborhood, and by
studying at home, when he was
ten years old he was able to en-
ter the preparatory department of
the old Corvallis College which
was then under the management
OF President w. A. Finley, Joseph
Emery, and others. At that age
in order to secure an education
he was willing to stay with the
family of William Hannen, who
then lived on what is now known
as the Blumhart farm in Linn
county, where he worked for his
board, doing chores night and
morning, walking to and from
Corvallis every day, a distance

IT APPEARS BIEN.NIALLY.

In its last issue the Corvallis
Times reprints its biennial edito-
rial on LET Us Have Peace. J"
All old residents of Benton ceun-
ty know the significance of this
portentous phrase. 1t is the puff
of white smoke that rises from
the masked battery which vomits
calumny, vilifcation and abuse
at Republican candidates through
every local political campaign.
A different excuse accompanies
its every appearance, but the edi-
torial itself is stereotyped.
In opening the campaign of
1900, the Times printed this edi-
torial on April 21st of that year.
Then as now we were told that
"The Times is first, last and all the
time, for peace. 1t insists upon peace.
1t begs for peace. But"
'But" was followed at that
time by the manufactured excuse
that ''It develops that friends of
certain candidates on the Repub-
lican county ticket have already
begun a campaign of mudsling-
ing" In 1902, But had a
similar tale of woe, and now we
find "But" softly impeaching the
Gazette. That editorial is kept
"standing.' 1t has a purpose
to serve, and some pretext must
be found for its appearance. So
long as w. S. McFadden is the
political mentor of the Times,
readers of that paper may be pre-
pared to hold their nose when
''Let Us Have Peace" appears at
its masthead.
"But" finds that "for many
issues past the Gazette as been
filled with insinuation, innuendo
and alleged ridicule." This is
not true. However, that is quar-
rel for the Times and Gazette
to settle. The publishers of this
department are not responsible
for the utterances OF the Gazette,
any more than the merchant is
who speaks through its columns.
Nor is the Gazette or its own
ers accountable tor anything that
may appear herein.

in attendance at this college Hon.
j. K. Wea,herford, the present
president of the Board of Regents
of that institution, w. F. Her.
rem, chief counsellor for the South
ern Pacific for this coast, DR..
Frank Cauthorn, and others, and
from such associations and the
instructions of his teachers, he
received the incentive to obtain
a thorough education, which he
did largely by his own efforts, by
working on a farm during vaca-
ton, and latterly by teaching.
He graduated from the State
Agricultural College in 1880, re-
|ceiving the degree A. M. upon
graduation. Being one of three
persons during the entire history
of that institution who has re-
ceived that honor.
The first year after his gradu.
alton he was connected with the
college, having charge of the pri-
mary department then connected
with the school. Afterwards he
was made professor of language of
Monmouth College, which posi-
ton he held for four years. Dur
ing his connection with Mon
mouth College he was elected
school superintendent of Polk
County, he and two others being
the only Republicans elected dur
ing the campaign. He then took
up in connection with the superin-
tendency, public school work, be-
coming thoroughly identified with
the same, in Polk County and was
made principal of the Indepen-
dence public schools. During his
residence at that place, he served
as mayor of that city. In 1889,
at the solicitation of Judge J. r.
Bryson, M. S. Woodcock and
Thomas Graham, then directors
oe the Corvallis school district,
he accepted the principalship of
the public schools of Corvallis,
and while he was thus engaged the

and the graded school establish

connected with the public school
work of Corvallis, he was elected
county school superintendent OF
Benton county, and at the end
of his term of Office took up the
practice of law, having made the
necessary preparations tor adnis-
sion to the bar while carrying on
his regular work, and supporting
his family. ~.
For a few years he had Offices
with Judge Bryson, and in 18o3 he
became a partner of Judge Bryson
in the practice of law, he being
the only law partner Judge Bry-
sou was ever associated with dur
ing his practice in Benton coun-
|ty, which partnership continued
until a short time before Judge.
Brvson's death.
In 1896 he was elected prose-
cutting attorney in the second ju-
dicial district, which Office he fill
ed creditably to himself and to
his party, giving one OF the
most economical administrations
to the taxpayers which the dis
trict has ever had. In 1893 he
was appointed member of the
Board of Regents of the State
Agricultural College for a term
of three years, and was after
wards re-appointed tor a term of
nine years, and for some time
served as secretary of that body.
Since retiring FROM the Office
of district attorney, at his own
choice, Mr.. Yates has given his
entire attention to the practice of
law, although often solicited to
accept public trusts. For several
years past he has held the posi-
ton of city attorney of Corvallis,
to which position he was elected
at the solicitation of Mr.. P. Avery
and other members of the Coun-
Gil as a fit man for the place. |
His election was unanimous,
and he is still retained in that
office.
Although born in Linn county
the most of his life has been spent
in Benton county, and his entire
education received here with the
exception of one year spent in
Willamette University, at Salem
in 1879, when Thomas M. Catch
was president and Thomas Craw-
ford was professor of that insti-
tuition.
Mr.. Yates is a taxpayer and
property owner in Benton coun-
ty, and has ever been identified
with all movements of progress
for the welfare of the county. H
has reared a family and educated
them here, and in the future as
in the past his interests will be
here.
