the Republican National Convention of >888 and Oregon la member of the Re

lican to the Oregon Legislature in 189(5.
Mr. Bourne has b -en more prominently identified with the development
of the mineral resources of Oregon than any other man in the state, having
expended in the last 20 years over $1,000,000 of his own monev in the acqui
sition and development o ' Oregon mines.
While Mr. it xirne has li id ids residence and main office a t Portland
since 1878, he lias had ¡mu! h :r office at New Bedford, Mass., and has carried

experience in business and political affairs pre-eminently qualify him for
