Many expressions of regret were
main by attorneys who had known
Judge t nples during ills Ion residence
in oregnn. Among; others were the fol

George H. -Williams I have known
Judge Caples for a long time. He had
a high BtandlnK in the community, both
a a man and aa a lawyer, lie was dis
trict attorney In this city for several
yeara, and dlacharged the dutle of that
office with fidelity and seal. He ac
quitted himself creditably as oonsul to
l hlle. He wa a ready, fluent and
forcible speaker, and always aroused en
thusiasm by hi platform addresses. I
have never heard a question made aa
to his personal or profesalonal Integrity.
This community has sustained a real
loss In the death of Judge Caples.

Thomas N. Strong The death of
Judge Caples removes one of the old
standbys of the legalprofession. When
Judge Caples first began nractlclnv in
Oregon, the Portland bar dominated the
entire northwest, and lawyers from this
city traveled the circuits over the en
tire northwest nortlon of the country.
Judge Caples wa on of the most lovlal

a good-humored laugh. Manv of the
important cases In the old dava were
tried In Vancouver, and on several oc
casions particularly I remember how in

churches on the circuit, always attended
their meetings wherever he was, and

Upon one occasion he led a grand rally
In the Methodist church In Vancouver
and secured the biggest subscription In
the history of the church. It was an
event that no one who was there ever
forgot I should sav that

Every night those Who wnrn rMlno lh
