HENRY MELDRUM,
Surveyor General of Oregon, is a Clacka
mas County resident, and a credit to our
commonwealth. He was born in 1852, near
llwaco, Wash., then a part of Oregon, and
has since made his home in Oregon. He at
tended Pacific University in Forest Grove
along with Harvey Scott and Judge Stott.
Mr. Meldrum has been U. S. Deputy Sur
veyor for 20 years, and iias done work all
over this country. From 1876 to j88j he ran
a livery stable at Tillamook, and during this
time filled mail contracts. He was elected
Surveyor of Clackamas County in 1884 and
refused re-election in 1886. He has but re
cetilly been appointed 'oumii-r Genr.il i.f
Cognizant of the educating influences of
travel, Dr. Seamann recently made a trip
to the Orient, visiting Japan, China and the
Phillipine islands, making a study of the dis
eases peculiar to Asiatic countries, and that
particularly at the hospitals in Manila.
While taking his medical course the doctor
made a specialty of diseases of the eye, and
therefore, in addition to being a regular
practicing physician, he is prepared to at
tend to all cases that come within the scope
of the optician and oculist. His ability-in
this particular is certainly of great advant
age to our citizens. Dr. Seamann is medical
inspector for ,-everal insurance companies,
as the Metropolitan Insurance Company and
the Pacific Mutual, and is also court phy-
Oregon, and has done away with much of
the red tape connected with the office ami
has practically brought the work up-to-date.
All can rest assured that the Surveyor Gen
eral's office will make a better record during
his term than at any previous one, which
shows that the Clackamas County man is all
right.
