V Sale Extraordinary of Wilton Rugs SONS HURRYING FROM EAST CYRUS A ATTORNEY DEAD Si t ' v t Noted Lawyer's Activities Closely Identified With Formative Days of Railroads, Schools, Banks -and Bar of Northwest. Cyrus Abda Dolph, a prominent pio neer attorney, the first president of the Oregon State Bar Association, and an active factor in the development of the city and state, died at St. Vin cent's Hospital yesterday morning after a brief illness, aged 73 years. Mr. Dolph was one of the men con tributed by the State of New York to the great West to aid in building; up : and shaping; the destinies of the larger half of the continent. He had been a resident of Oregon for 62 years and had been prominently identified with the growth of Portland during all the marvelous changes which have occurred In its development from a frontier village to a city of Its pres ent size. For Half Century Wu Leader. For half a century Mr. Dolph was one of the acknowledged leaders of the bar and his Influence on both the moral and commercial development of - the state was srreat. He was born in Schuyler County, New York, September 27, 1840, and was the eon of Chester V. Dolph and Elizabeth Vanderbllt Steel. On his paternal side be was the grandson of Abda de Wolfe, the name having been changed to Dolph in 1833, and on his maternal side he was the grandson of Jacob Vanderbilt, of - Btaten Island, N. z . The history of the Dolph family re cords the fact that Balthazar de Wolfe, first of the family to reside on Amer ican soil, settled in Weathersfleld, Conn., in 1620. In the annals of the ' French and Indian wars, and more par ticularly the Revolutionary War, are to be found the - names of many of Sal' tliazar de ' Wolfe's descendants, who served with distinction. Mr. Dolph was called Abda, in honor of his great grandfather, who was born in 1740 in Boston, Mass, and who won military - honors in the war of 1776. After receiving a common school edu cation, in 1858, Mr. Dolph changed from scholar to teacher and for the next suc ceeding three years taught in one of the New York State schools, until he gave up his position to enlist in an indepen dent company formed by an act of Con' gress for protecting immigration to the Pacific Coast. Portland Reached In 1863. With his brother, the late United States Senator Joseph N. Dolph, he left New York, May 17, 1862, arriving in Portland in November of the same year. During his period of teaching Mr. Dolph had taken up the study of law, more as a recreation than as a profes sion, but at that time decided to follow its course, and accordingly resumed his studies. He was admitted to the bar In 1866 and .immediately started upon the active practice of his profession. ' He was a nard-and conscientious worker, and was known for the exceptional soundness of his judgment. Having a retentive and discriminating mind, he never forgot nor misapplied a case. Al most immediately after being admitted he came to the front as a representative of the legaf profession here, a position which he maintained until his death, being numbered among those who have conferred honor and dignity upon the legal profession and have brought to the Oregon bar a reputation- which ' places it on a par with the bar in the older states of the East. Mr. Dolph was regarded as one of the foremost law counsellors on the Coast and specialized to a large extent In corporation and railroad law.. City Attorneyship Unsolicited. ' In June, 1869, Mr. Dolph was elected City Attorney of Portland, nomination on the Republican ticket and election by a large majority having come wlth- . out solicitation. . In 1874, during his temporary ab sence from the city, he was nominated by the Republicans for the State Legis lature, but declined the honor, as he ':dtd two years later, when the nomina tion for State Senator was tendered him. From 1883 to 1889 he was a mem ber of the directorate of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company. In 1883 Henry Villard, then president of the Oregon Railroad & . Navigation Company and itha . Northern Pacific Railroad Company, 'selected Mr. Dolph as general attorney for the first named corporation and consulting attorney in Oregon for the latter. These positions he filled with ability and in a manner Indicative of his high legal talent. Speaking of Mr. Dolph in this connec tion one of his co-directors said: "The many important and intricate questions that arose he handled with dispatch and decision, disposing of them to the entire satisfaction of the officers and stockholders of the com panies." For years Mr. Dolph served as dl- rector of the Oregon & California I Railroad and was retained as general attorney of the corporation. For SI "years he was a director of the North ern Pacific Terminal Company of Ore gon, and was its president for 12 years. Mr. Dolph was associated as partner with a number of the brightest minds connected with the bar of this state. Firm Established in 1873. February 1, 1873, he, in connection with his brother, the late Senator Joseph N. Dolph; Judge E. C Bro naugh and Joseph Simon, formed the law firm of Dolph, Bronaugh, Dolph & Simon. This firm continued until 1883, when Joseph N. Dolph had been elected to- the United States Senate and Judge Bronaugh retired to reside in Cali fornia. At this time a new firm was formed, of which C A. Dolph became the senior member. Associated with him were Judge C. B. Bellinger, Rufus Mallory and Joseph Simon. C B. Bel- . linger subsequently became Federal Judge and John M. Gearin some years later was admitted to the firm. Last year Mr. Dolph celebpated the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the law firm of which he was the senior ' member at the time of his death. On this occasion, speaking of these 40 years of continuous law association and the business of the firm, Mr. Dolph said: "I look at our list of clients with especial gratification. When the .old firm that preceded us began business it -gathered as its clients some of the best men of those days. These men have practically all passed away, but their children still retain us as their advisers, and, in numerous cases, the third generation has no other attor neys." In 1891, he was urged by President Harrison to accept the appointment of Circuit Judge of the Ninth Judicial Circuit and was generally indorsed by the best citizens of the Northwest. However, feeling that the acceptance. t .. ..k. ... ' .H r. a 3 . . f ; i It" 4. t ll ,. w iniiffl hi iii imnJinmi i.!MiaA CYIU'S A DOIiPH. of this honor would interfere with his Ufa work, he declined the position. In 1898, Mr. Dolph was made presi dent of the board of trustees of the Portland Library Association, which position he held for about 10 years. H wan Instrumental in the forma tion and organization of the Security Savings & Trust Company and nas hooTi a director since its organization. He assisted in organizing various other banking Institutions and was attorney for a number of banks. He was also one of the organizers and directors of the Portland Hotel company anu served as its president for & number n vMrfi. Mr. Dolph took an active Interest 1n the educational affairs of his state up tn the time of his death. He was for many years a Tegent of the University of Oregon and attended tne last meev lng of that body, held at Eugene on Tuesday of last Week. He remarked to a friend at that time, that he had not missed a meeting of the Board of Regents in 16 years. Reed Collea-e His Handiwork. He was vice-president of the Board of Trustees of Reed College, and In the creation of this college played a most Important part as personal attor ney of Mrs. Reed. He drafted her will, which gave the bulk of the Reed estate hB foundation of the college, tie ita.ilH of which he and Mrs. Reed worked out together. Taurine- his life he was active in two fraternal organizations, the Oddfellows and the Masons. He was a 33d degree honorary Scottish Rite Mason and a Knlslit Templar, and greatly devoted to the order. Mr. Dolph was Interested in many philanthropic enterprises, and, among his other offices, was president of the board of trustees of the Old People's Hnn. tn whlah he devoted a great deal of time, and rendered much sub stantial service. He was president of the board of trustees of the First Baptist Church for about 25 years and one of the prom inent men In Its affairs. One of his close associates, speaking of the dead attorney, paid: 'To recite tne story oi nis me wouia be the record of the historian who should write the history of this city, with which his name was so intimately connected. "He was wedded to his profession and was gifted with rare legal attain ments, coupled with sound Judgment and a sense of right and justice. He was always interested m municipal affairs and never refused aid and coun sel in affairs of his city which tended to the Improvement and development of Tils adopted home." Judge Bellinger once said oi mm: 'He has. In an unusual degree, those aualtlties which distinguish the safe lawyer from the showy one; steadfast in his friendship, conservative in nis judgment, when the conduct of others exposes them to censure; considerate of the feelings of his fellows; scrup ulously careful of the rights of those with whom he was brought into dusi- ness relations, and conscientious In all he does, he Is deservedly held In high esteem by all who know Hun." Mr. Dolnh is survived ny nis wiaow, a daughter. Miss Hazel, and three sons, William V., Joseph N.. and John. The two latter sons have been traveling in the East, but now are on their way home The family home is at 363 West Park street. The funeral will be held upen their return, probably Thurs day. Both the Federal and tne circuit Courts were formally advised yester day morning of Mr.- Dolph's death. A common committee was appointed from the two courts to draw up resolutions and to arrange for attendance at the funeral by the bar. The committee Is as follows: Joseph Simon, W. D. Fen- ton. H. H.

OFFICE IS ROSE BOWER Union Pacific Headquarters In East ern City Attract Mucn Attention From Public to Oregon's Spectacular Holiday. Among the data received by the Port land Commercial Club concerning the recognition of Portland's Rose . Festival in various partis or the woria, cuppings from Pittsburg papers came in yester day, telling of especial attention given the Festival by transportation compa nies in that city, and indicating the National importance that the event has assumed. , - - . . Following is from the Pittsburg Dis patch, June 6: The AJnion Pacific oince on au- road Row is gay with color and redo lent with the fragrance of roses, as a re minder of the internationally famous Rose Festival held annually at Port lurid. Oregon, at this season of the year. The big window has been converted into a pergola overgrown with big blush roses and la the cynosure of all eyes, whilo festoons of roses depend from walls and celling and great vases of them grace the counters. The idea was General Agent Corfield's and he is receiving many oompllments upon both its originality, and the eriective man ner in which it was carried out." 'In pretty Imitation of the wonderful yearly rose fets which makes Portland, Or the eenter of Interest along the Western Coast once every year, tne Union Pacific Railroad office at 639 Smlthfleld street has been decorated with flowers, artificial and real, until It looks like a bower. The inner of fices have been made beautiful with great vases of roses and festoons of the popular Juno flower. The great Rose Festival is one or the really wonderful events of that wonderful region. Parades In which vehicles, horses and people literally are covered with roses are held. Automo moblles, wagons, everything Is deco rated with the fragrant flowers. Con tests of all kinds are held and the city rivea Itself up to holidaying. The Fes tival this year will be held June 9, 10, 11 and 12. "No other district In the United States can boast of such a profusion of roses as that around Portland, Or.
