retary Reed, voicing tha aentlment of hi

said; -
A Kan of Many Interests.
"Mr. Good e waa a great personality.
HI pollotea ln th conduct of th com
panies he bad handled, and the record he
ad-made In hi ceallnge wim in nnn-
dreds of buslnesa men with whom he
had constantly- come In contact, had
shown that he wa an exceptional man.
This company will not soon get another
like him."
Mr. Good waa a member of the Ar
lington club, the Portland Elka lodge,
the Commercial club, th Eaat Sid club,
th Waverly Golf club and other so
cial organisations, and held a life mem
ber eh lp in the Multnomah Athletlo
club. He wa a I2d-degre Maaon and
Knight Templar. He took an aotlve In
terest In elvlo affalra, and was a mem
ber of th Chamber of Commerce.
While hla day were taken up with
myriad actlvltlea of buslnas. there
were large demands upon hi time by
the various social organisations and by
movements originated for th advance
ment of the city's Interest
He looked out upon life with a very
wide view, and saw as plainly aa per
haps any other man the opportunlttea ot
Portland and Oregon for material
growth and development Always he
waa a tremenaoua worker, ana enterna
Into the affalra of his business with
seriousness and determination.: His
practical knowledge of the electrical In
duetrywas founded In many years of
study and operation. He knew the
buslneaa thoroughly and was progres
sive and resourceful. Under hla man
agement development of th electric
light and power Industry In Portland
and th Willamette valley has proceed
ed swiftly, and the plant controlled by
bis companies have been built with ad
mirable permanence and modern equip
ment. -
Always a "w ork.
I'd to th hour of hi death he waa

was completed under hla administra
tion a sO.000 horse-power electrlo plsnt
at Casadero, and already he waa mak
ing plans for another plant of similar
capacity on the Clackamaa river. It
la aald. by his business associates that
he worked to exceea, devoting the en
tire day and th evening uour until
late at night to affaire of .hla office,
and did not take aufflclent outdoor rec
reation, and that to this cause was due
the failure of bis splendid physique.
In sny personal estimate of Mr. Goode
It la said his liberality should receive
prominent recognition. While outward
ly reaerved. he was at heart one of
the most democratic and generous of
men. always disposed to give full eon-Blderat1onto-the-rIa1m
