	Z.D. BROWN, attorney-law, Spokane, Washington, was born in the Territory of
Oregon, in 1858. He was educated at the Willamette University at Salem, that
State, where he took a commercial course. In 1873 he began mercantile life in
Scio, Oregon. In the spring of 1880 he removed to Klickitat county, Washington,
but one year later, in the spring of 1881, came to Spokane, where he has ever
since remained.
	Mr. Brown entered the law office of Shaw & Mallory, of Salem, Oregon, in
1876, for the purpose of reading law, from which, in 1886, he was called away to
look after business matters. Mr. Brown again took up the study of law in the
office of Nash, Kinard & Murry, at Spokane, Washington, with whom he remained
until the fall of 1888, when he determined to attend a law school, choosing the
Cumberland University, of Lebanon, Tennessee, from which institution he
graduated with the degree of LL. B. in 1888. After being admitted to practice in
the courts of the State of Tennessee, he returned to Spokane, Washington, and
was admitted to practice in the courts of that State.
	Mr. Brown has been closely identified with the growth and prosperity of the
beautiful city, in which he has chosen to make his home, dealing largely in real
estate. Mr. Brown is a young man of ability and integrity, and very popular,
making friends wherever he goes. He was married, in 1889, to Miss Marie L.
Ayatte, of Montreal, Canada.
