Ben. W. Olcott, now Governor of Oregon, was born in Illinois in 1872. He arrived in Oregon in i8qi. Later he pros- pected in British Columbia, then he returned to Illinois where he served as bank cashier. Lured by the gold excitement he went to Alaska, and returned to Oregon in iqo . He was Secretary of State from iqi i to iqig, and governor since March, iqiq. (jovernor Olcott is deeply concerned in the welfare of the Oregon Agricultural College where he is a frequent visitor. i i h ' -i ) I Ben W. Olcott Hon. J. K. Weatherford, president of the Board of Regents of the Oregon Agricultural College, is a native of Missouri. When a mere lad he came to Oregon afoot and alone, and paid his way by driving a team across the plains. He was one of the first students to enter Corvallis College after the agricultural school was organized as a department. Because his earnings were meager he kept bach while in college. Later he was admitted to the bar and located in Albany, where he has estab- lished what is probably the largest legal practice in Oregon, outside of Portland. He was school superintendent, member of the House of Representatives and speaker thereof, being the youngest person to fill the Speaker ' s chair in Oregon; and later was Senator from Linn County for twelve years. When the Oregon Agricultural College was taken over by the State, Mr. Weatherford was chosen regent, a position which he has held acceptably and continuously since that time. Mr. Weatherford ' s career is worthy of the study of boys and girls who rely upon their own resources while struggling up the heights. J K. Weatherford Hon. B. F. Irvine of Portland was for many years a resident of Corvallis, during which time he succeeded in placing this city prominently on the journalistic map of the State. It was only natural that this brilliant writer and platform orator should be called up higher. } fe is editor-in-chief of the Oregon Journal, one of the leading dailies of the Pacific Coast. As a war worker Mr. Irvine had few if any peers in the West, his gifted pen and tongue being at all times employed in behalf of every patriotic activity from the beginning of the war until the present time. 26
