together with every dollar of money
with which he set out, he arrived in
Portland on the31st day of October,
'1SG2, with only the six months pay he
had received from the government upon
being mustered out of service at Walla
"Walla, W. T. Upon his arrival in Ore
gon Mr. Dolph at once began the prac
tice of his profession- . With the begin
ning of the year 1863 he formed a copartnership-
with ITor J. H. Mitchell
which continued for more tsrai ten
years and terminated upon Mr. Mitch
ell's election to the United States Sen
ate. He was appointed City Attorney
for the city of Portland, in October,
1864, and held that position about one
and one half years, during which time
lie prepared and proposed important a-
mendments to the city charter, hich
were afterwards adopted, and also re-
vised for publication the .ordinances
of the city. In January, lGa, Mr-
Dolph was appointed by President Lin-
coin United States District Attorney
for the District of Oregon, which posi-
tion he held until September, 1866,
when hs resigned it to take his seat in

tor from Muknomah county, in which
capacity he served hi country during
the sessien oi 00, and tTok lus seat at
the leginning of the session of lOS, but
his Ec-at;ya centered upon the pretense
that no allotment had been made at the
previous sessions of the Legislature as
required by the constitution ana -ur. i weU Ujpy perforuieti their trust Mrs

of the Oregon Legislature' as a Senator
for Multnomah county. Mr. Dolph has
been an active participant in the politics
of the State. He was Chairman of the
Republican State. Central Committee
from 1866 to 1868. He has been an
able and eloquent advocate of the prin-
ciples of the Republican 'party. lf?
