worked steadily to the front in his

large proportions, and it was at the
sacrifice of business that the young

the bench would be of great benefit,
and that the honor, coming to him so
early in life was one he could not turn

IT'S EARLIEST HISTORY
. AND A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

From the little handful of l02 per.
sons, who at Champoeg in May, 1S43,
decided by q majority of two votes
that Oregon should, and did belong to
the United States, that the code and
laws of the state Of New York should
be the law of the land until such time
as code could be provided, and named
a supreme judge" to the present
time when more than 100000 persons
take part in selecting the supreme
court, the supreme court of Oregon has
been composed Of men of especially
high rank as lawyers In all that time
no breath of scandal has smirched its
enviable record, and its justices have
gone out Of office toking one and all
with them the respect and confidence
Of the entire state. There are few if
any states that can show so enviable a
record, and this, too, when the salaries
paid by the state were entirely made
quate, and politics were "in the sad
die" throughout the whole country
and political graft, and even judicial
graft, was rampant everywhere. Truly
a record of which not only those who
made it may feel proud, but one that
the state can point to as unequaled in
the galaxy Of states
The long list of those who have shed
honor on bench and bar in this state
from the supreme court bench is truly
a "roll of honor " Many who builded
$50 strongly the foundations on which
the state rests have passed to theil
reward, and the pages of Oregon his
tory written or to be written will tel
their life's work, 1t is not our inten.
tiOn to more than mention them, foI
brief resume of the court such as
this must necessarily be, cannot do jus
tlce to them, nor is the writer familiar
enough with their history to even at
tempt to write Of their work, 1t is

to do, and it is with considerable hes
itancy and much trepidation we ven

it would take an ADLER pen, and a much
better informed mind, at least on legal
matters, to write of them as justices
of the supreme court, than we ear

". M. RAMSEY, JUSTICE

Appointed at the same time with C.
L. McNary, or in May of this year,
William Marion Ramsey took his seat
as member of the supreme court
June l, 1913. Justice Ramsey was born
in Iowa, Monroe county, on Christmas
day, 1916, and is the son of David and
Susan (Shuch) Ramsey. Just when he
came to Oregon is unknown to the
writer, but it must have been at an
early day as he was educated in this
state, absorbing English and some
Chinook, no doubt, in the schools of
Yamhill county. He also took some
drafts of knowledge in the Clackamas
county schools, and finished this with
course at McMinpville college. He
was admitted to the bar of the state
in 1868, to the district court in 1869
and later to the U. s. circuit court. He
located at Lafayette in 1868 and was
associated with James Mccain for a
short time In 1870 he married Mahala
A. Harris, and in 1896, Julia L. Snyder.
He was elected Judge of Yamhill
county in 1870 and moved to Salem in
1876. Here he formed a partnership
with B. F, Bonham, the firm being
Bonham & Ramsey, and later the firm
became Ramsey & Bingham.
J We are pleased to state that nowhere
do the records show that he was ever
a member of the Oregon legislature

sociated with +. W. Fenton under the
firm name of Ramsey & Fenton.
He was appointed to the supreme
bench by Governor West last May and
began his duties June /, 1913. Judge
Ramsey is a thorough student, and q
reliable interpreter Of the law. His
opinions are clearly written, and the
points aptly expressed. He is hard
worker and will do his share toward
preventing congestion of the docket
such as caused worry and delay before
the number of judges was increased.

finish on his education by attending
the Iowa Normal school, at Iowa Falls.
Thus fortified he was elected county
superintendent of schools for Hardin
county. This in 1871, and he served as
superintendent until 1875. He read law
in the office AMI under the direction
of Lieutenant Governor Eastman, at
Eldora, and was admitted to the bar of
the state in 1874. Having realized
the benefit Of partial movement to
the west, he concluded in 1877, that if
a little was good that more was better
and it would also be better for Moore,
and so came to Oregon in 1877, and was
admitted to the bar in this state in
1879. Upon first reaching the state

if he suits them, and Justice Burnett is
that kind of man and officer. He is
a native of the best section of the best
state, of the best country in the uni
verse, for he was born in Yamhill
county, May 8, 1858. He is the son of
George W. and Sidney A. (Younger)
Burnett Having been born in Yamhill
there was nothing he could do and
maintain the Yamhill reputation except
to get busy, do something, reach for
the top He took mis- first mental
pabulum in the public schools of Yam
hill, and having exhausted the possibil-
tiles in that line, he attended the Nc
Minnville college until 1871, when he
entered Christian college at Monmouth,
graduating therefrom in 1873 with the
degree of A. B. After this he read
law in the office of Mallory & Shaw
in this city, for two years, He was
admitted to the bar here in Salem in
1875, to the United States district and
circuit courts in 1876. He was elected
district attorney for the Third judicial
district the same year. In 1878 he
formed partnership with John j..
Shaw, which continued until 1886. A
year later, or in 1879, he formed an
other partnership, in which he for.
feited his degree of A. B. and married
Miriam Belt. Had he put off his mar
riage one day he would have missed a
year, for he was married December 81,
1879. Now in most biographical
sketches and in all novels, the story

heath. With keen analytical mind
and boundless energy, his list of eli
ents grew to that point where he had
all the work, and more, than he really
cared to do, but he remained alone in
his practice until in 1892, he was
elected judge of the Third judicial
district. We stated before that he will
probably not retire from the supreme
bench until he does so of his own
vOlition; and that Oregonians have a
way of reelecting a man that suits
them. Evidently Judge Burnett gave
entire satisfaction as a Judge, for he
was kept on the bench from 1892 until
1910 when he was invited to go up
higher, and was elected to the supreme
bench. He is an indefatigable worker
a close and profound student of the
law, and there is no lawyer on the
supreme bench of Oregon or off it in
the state at large, whose opinions carry
greater weight. OF genial and compan.
