L. O. MEIGS, of Yakima, is a member of the firm of McAuley & Meigs.  Mr Meigs
was born in Canada in 1879.  As a youth he attended public schools, while his
legal training was had in the University of Michigan, from which he graduated
in 1902, with the B. L. degree, and the same year came to Yakima, where he
was admitted to the bar in the same year.  He was Speaker of the House of
Representatives of Washington from Yakima County in 1909, and was the city
attorney of Yakima from 1916 to 1918.  An excellent presence, an earnest
manner, marked strength of character, and thorough grasp of principles of
jurisprudence, make him an effective and successful advocate before the
courts.  He is a lawyer to whom success has come as a result of close
application to his his profession.  Mr. Meigs' work in the courts in thorough,
and in strict conformity with the ethics of his profession, and I know of no
member of the bar, of his experience and length of time in practice, who has
made greater headway.  Mr. Meigs married Miss Laura Crawford, in 1902, and the
couple have two children, a son and a daughter.  He is a member of the Elks,
Rotary club, Chamber of Commerce, county, state and national bar associations,
and a thirty-second degree Mason.
