That can be done in very few words. I was admitted to the bar in 1896, and have been engaged in the law practice in the State of Oregon practically ever since. I presume my professional experience v ould not differ from that of all other lawyers, always mixed up in some controversy.

Here and there, especially in the gold producing sections, I have visited what we call ghost towns. Towns that once were inhabited by hundreds and. even thousands-^f people feverishly bent upon taking from placer and quartz the valuable deposits of gold and other precious minerals,, towns that are long since deserted. In some of these towns, the business and residential buildings still stand. There is one ghost town not many miles-from here, or rather the grave of a ghost town, for not a vestage of. the town remains except some sunken graves upon the mountain side, and yet at one time from 'en to fifteen thousand bearded miners delved in the placer deposits. On my eastern trip, 1 hired a car in1', drove out to tht place where I first entered school. It "was a ghost place. The school house was gone {i.d I had to be told where it once stood. Nothing was familiar, not even the hills. „ I was disappointed.
