his way to success In his profession
and was soon recognized as one of
the states leading lawyers.
Judge Ailshie was chosen president
of the Republican state convention in
1898 and delegate to the national Re-
publican convention in 1900. For
two terms he served as regent of the
state university, and in 1902, at the
age OF "a, was elected to the supreme
bench of the state of Idaho. His ca
reer there has been marked by the
most decided appreciation Of the bar
and the public. Since then there have
been vastly more questions constituting
the state constitution before the court
than during any previous like period.
His insistence that foreign corpora
tons, in particular, should not be per-
mitted to arrogate to themselves, I'M
challenged, illegitimate power and in
fiuence has proven boon to the state.
Preceding his ascent to the chief
justceship, he wrote the opinion of
the supreme court of Idaho in the
Meyer approximations case. AL
though II was a new question on ex-
tradition, the supreme court of the
United States upheld the Idaho court
in every particular. The unanimous
opinion in the Mormon case and that
In the mechanics lien case were writ
ten by him.
Judge AiIshie was born In Greene
county. Tennessee, June 10, 1868, and
came of sturdy Scotch ancestors who
had participated in the Revolution.
His father, although southern bred.
fought with the northern army in
the Civil war. The early education
of the chief justice was secured at
country schools and by teaching and
self-help he worked his way through
the higher institutions. He is a COL
lege graduate, possessing the degrees,
bachelor of philosophy and bachelor
of law.

for leadership in government affairs.
He was born in Vermont, ILL.,, May
4, 1854, and was educated at Hedding
college and the Bloomington law
school. He came to st. Anthony 16
years ago. where he has been en-
gagged in his profession ever since.
He was a member of the Idaho leg
islature in 1897, demonstrating at
that time his peculiar fitness for the
public service. and enlisted as a pri-
vate in the Idaho Volunteers the fol-
lowing year, 1898, when the war with
Spain began. He was later commits
stoned captain and In the Philip
pines participated in the capture of
Manila.
After the surrender of the Spanish
army Colonel Hamer was appointed
provost judge of Manila. He was
wounded at Caloochan and for effic-
iency was promoted to the lieutenant
colonelcy of his regiment. He was
later made military governor of Cebu.
When the Idaho volunteers were mus
tered out of the service, on recon-
mendation of General Otis, he was
given by President Mckinley q COM
mission as lieutenant colonel of a
regiment raised from veterans in the
Philippines. He was designated to as

purpose of building and improving

Vacant Lands Are Utilized.
Throughout Governor Gooding's
administration a diligent effort has
been made to secure an income from
the vacant lands belonging to the
state. This effort has been attended
by the most gratifying results. Over
100000 acres of state land have been
leased for grazing purposes. at an

than the rents received from all the
states lands each year under Demo-
cratic rule.

State Capitol.
At the eighth session of the legis-
lature a bill was passed, which in eff
feet established the state capital in
Boise, and provided for the erection
of capitol building. A commission
was at once appointed by the COVER
nor, and the work of constructing
capitol building was commenced. The
work of construction Of the building
has now progressed sufficiently so
that 1t can be seen that Idaho will
soon have one of the handsomest,
most commodious and honestly and
economically constructed state capt.

action of the legislature in providing
for the construction of this building

minded citizen of the highest order of
usefulness.
He was born in Indiana county,
Pennsylvania, June IL, 1862. coming
from Scotch-Irish stock on his fathers
side of the family and German on his
mothers. Both branches of the fam
lily possessed records of service and
loyalty to the United States which ex-
tended back over $50 years.
During his early boyhood his father
moved to Kansas and settled on a
farm near Kansas City where Mr..
Brady received his earlier education,
graduating from the high school and
later taking q course In LeavenWOrth
Normal college with the intention OF
adopting the profession of teacher.
He followed this for three years, but
his natural ability and inclination TO-
mented the call of business activity.
In Chicago his first venture was
real estate. and while there his at
tention was attracted by the wonder
full possibilities OF Idaho, and the in
ception and development OF the Idaho,

the Carey act and irrigate an immense
area.
Mr.. Brady made Idaho his home In
1896 and became interested at that
time In the electrical development OF
the water power of the southeastern
part of the state, now being president
of the Idaho Consolidated Power COM
pany, whose plant at American Falls
has an actual estimated capacity OF
$4,000 horsepower.
Despite these great undertakings he
can not be considered a corporation
man in the sense politically used, and
has nothing to ask or receive of the
state government. He is a friend to
labor and is immensely popular with
the workers of his own section.
He soon became prominent in Ida
no politics and served as state chair
man from 1904 until this year
through two campaigns. leading the
party to overwhelming victories In
both instances. His withdrawal from
the senatorial race in 1906 in the in
terests of party harmony gained him

term in its most commedable sense Is

funds with which to finance it during

During the five years and eight

law, largely connected with mining
litigation, but his practice has covered
every branch of the profession, in
which he has met with conspicuous
success.
Senator Hepburn was elected a
member of the Idaho constitutional
convention of 1899, and participated
activity in all of its deliberations
serving as chairman of the the ju-
dietary committee, as well as being
on other important committees.
Although not a candidate for the
office, he was nominated for con-
gress on the Republican ticket in
1898, but was defeated on account of
the free silver disaffection at that
time. He was a delegate to the Re-
publican National conventions of 1888,
1892, 1900 and 1904, and national
committeeman for Idaho from 1904
to 1908.
In 1903 he was elected to the
United States senate, receiving all of
the Republican votes in the legisla-
ture. Upon entering the senate he
was made chairman of the committee
on manufactures, which had charge
of the pure food legislation in the sem
ate, and distinguished himself by the
magnificent fight he made for the
passage of the pure food bill which is
now national statute.

Mr.. Hastings came to Idaho in 1894

and while chairman of the water COM
mittee the municipality purchased the
waterworks of private company

battle.
In 1898, when everything else
seemed to be Democratic and Popu-
