CASSIUS E. GATES,  of Seattle, is one of the officials of the Seattle Bar 
Association.  Mr. Gates is a native on Minnesota and was born in 1886.  As a 
youth he received his educational training in the public schools.  Later he 
entered the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, from which institution he 
graduated in 1908 with the degree of LL. B.  It was in 1909 that Mr. Gates 
decided to make his home in the far west, and located in Seattle, since which 
time he has rapidly advanced in the practice of his profession until today the 
clientele of the firm of which he is senior member, is a large and 
representative one.  In matters of corporation law Mr. Gates has attained 
marked success.  Practically from the date of his admission to the bar he has 
made a close and systematic study of that particular branch of practice.  Mr. 
Gates is one of the practical, self-made members of the Washington bar.  By 
this I mean, that the success which has come to him is the result of 
individual effort, and without assistance from others.  A man of strong 
personality, thoroughly versed in the many complex problems and technicalities 
of his profession, his complete understanding of the statutes, some in which 
he had a prominent part in making, and his knowledge of human nature.  Mr. 
Gates has attained a reputation of which any man can ell afford to feel justly 
proud.
