OUR PEN PICTURES.
Short Sketches of Our Law Makers
And Prominent Men.
HON. J. J. FISHEIt.
Hon. J. J. Fisher is one of Mult
nomah's "chosen nine" in the House
of Representatives. Generally
speaking the ranks of the medical
profession are made up of a class of
gentlemen possessing great stregtli
of mind, highly cultured intellects
and a loftiness of character which is
necessary to command for them
the respect of the general public.
They are therefore entitled to the
great confidences which are necess
arily reposed in them, and which
they guard with all the great trad
itional honor of their noble calling.
Amongst the physicians of Oregon
who are highly respected is Dr. Fish
er. He was born in Missouri, Jan
uary 21, 1841, but shortly afterward
his parents moved to Indiana, in
which state he resided until he had
reached the age of manhood. He is
a graduate of Rush Medical College
at Chicago, and began to administer
relief to the sick and afflicted in Ill
inois iul8G9. In 1871, ho decided
that the state of Nebraska was a bet
ter field for his profession, and ac
cordingly removed to that state,
whero he resided for several years.
For two years ho was coroner of
Merrick county but 18S0 found the
Doctor in Oregon, where lie has re
mained. Ho settled in Alblna,
Multnomah county, where ho is en
gaged in his profession. Wo will
say In conclusiou that the doctor is
a stalwart republican and has always
been such.
HON. ASA II. CROOK.
Hon. Asa H. Crook is a joint rep
resentative from the counties of
of Curry and Coos. He resides near
Ellensburg inMho county of Curry,
whero he is busily engaged in farm
ing, dairying and stock raising, at
which he has been unusually sucess
ful. Mr. Crook was born in White
side county, Illinois, December 12,
1837, where he resided until ho had
reached the age of twenty-one, when
the western country with its won
derful tales of adventure and of gold
became w fascinating that he at
once left for Oregon and landed i n
1858. Mr. Crook isageutleman wlio
by his courteous demeanor and con
siderate nature will make friends
wherever ho may go. Ho has had
the honor of being sheriff of his
county one term aud is now serving
his second term as Joint representa
tive trom Coos aud Curry. He is
anactlvoandwell known republi
can. Wa He HleJ D"'1
George Washington was of superb
physical development, absolutely
free from all taint of hereditary dis
ease, a very temped man, and
lived during most of his life in con
ditions favorable to longevity. ct
he died at the comparatively early
age of 67. When we read in his bi
ography that the first action of each
successive medical advlaoi -was to
Mk ifthepatlent had been bled, and
then to proceed to more bleeding to
make a sure thing of It, our wonder
at an early death may be eted.
On the last day he , bLth
times, and the physician Innocently
