JAMES B. GREGORY

	James B. Gregory is engaged in general farming and logging in 
Stevens county.  He resides one and one-half miles west of Newport, where he 
located in 1900.  Our subject was born in Luverne, Minnesota, November 13,
1874, the son of J.C. and Effie A. (Powers) Gregory.  The father is a native 
of New York, the mother of Wisconsin.  When young they settled in Illinois,
and in 1856 removed to Iowa, living in that state seven years.  Going to 
southwestern Minnesota they resided in that locality four years.  In 1876 
they went to the sound and resided twenty-four years.  They came to Stevens
county in 1901, where they are now located.
	Our subject was practically reared and educated in Snohomish county,
Washington, and he began life for himself at the age of eighteen years, 
mainly working in the woods until 1900.  Part of that year he was logging 
with four brothers on the Snoqualmie river, then he secured a homestead in
Stevens county, comprising one hundred and sixty acres of land, of which
seventy-five are devoted to hay. There are over one million feet of saw
timber on the property.  Mr. Gregory has a good frame house, substantial
barn, and he rents eighty acres, two and one-half acres of which he
devotes to the cultivation of vegetables, the remainder being hay land.  He
has a good team and logging outfit, and six acres of land adjoining the 
townsite of Newport.  He has four brothers and two sisters: C.R., at present
living on the sound; H.T.; Mary, married to C.L. Haskell, now on the coast;
Alice, wife of H.T. Flaugher; L.E.; and Eugene B., of Stevens county.
	Mr. Gregory is in line with the Republican party, and has held the
office of school clerk in his district for several terms.  Fraternally he is
a member of the I.O.O.F., Newport Lodge No.180 and Tent No.5, K.O.T.M., and
Snohomish, Washington.
