BERNARD DALY, M. D.

     is judge of the county court of Lake county and a prominent physician of
Lakeview. His reputation as a practitioner, however, is not confined to his home
city, but extends over the entire state of Oregon.
     Dr. Daly was born February 17, 1858, in Ireland, and came to America when a
boy, and it was in the United States that he obtained his excellent education.
He was graduated from the Ohio state normal university, and later from the
medical department of the University of Louisville, Kentucky. In 1887 he came to
Lake county, Oregon, and has been successfully practicing medicine here
continuously since.  A lifelong Democrat, he was elected to the house of
representatives of Oregon in June, 1892, and to the state senate on that ticket
in 1896, serving four years. During his tenure in office his party was in the
minority in the senate and Dr. Daly was one of the Democratic leaders throughout
his term. In 1900 he was his party's candidate for Congress for the first
judicial district, but was defeated in election after running ahead of his
ticket by five thousand votes. Though Lake county was a Republican stronghold.
Dr. Daly was elected, in 1902, by a flattering majority, to the office of county
judge, which office he still holds.
     During the past fifteen years he has been a member of the board of trustees
of the Lakeview high school and has given marked attention to educational
affairs in his county in general. He was one of the organizers of the Bank of
Lakeview, instituted September 1, 1898, which is recognized as being the
strongest bank in the state of Oregon south of Salem, having a paid up capital
of ninety thousand dollars, and a surplus of sixty-five thousand dollars. Our
subject is now president of this bank. He was also one of the organizers and is
president of the Lake County Land & Live Stock Company, incorporated, which has
a capital of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. He has been president
during the past twelve years of the Lake County Agricultural society, instituted
for the purpose of encouraging the agricultural and horticultural interests of
Lake county.
     Dr. Daly is a member of the American Medical association, and of the Oregon
State Medical society, and maintains a high standing among his fellow
practitioners throughout his state. He is a successful financier, not only in
the management of his personal affairs, but those of the public, and since
assuming the office of county judge he has been instrumental in freeing his
county from debt without incurring additional burdens upon the tax-payers.
