     STANLEY MYERS.  The present district attorney of Multnomah county, 
Stanley Myers, possesses to a marked degree the essential qualities of the 
successful lawyer, and since coming to Portland has risen steadily in the 
confidence and respect of the public, being regarded as one of the 
representative men of the community. Mr. Myers was horn in Clinton county, 
Indiana, on the 4th of July, 1885, and is a son of Isaiah and Barbara (Olwes) 
Myers, both of whom are deceased. Having received a good public school 
education, Mr. Myers entered the law school of the University of Kansas, from 
which he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Law in 1909. He engaged 
in newspaper work in the east for three years and in 1912 came to Portland, 
where for a short time he was employed on the Telegram and later on the 
Journal. In 1913 he was appointed deputy city attorney, in which capacity he 
served until October 10, 1921, when he was appointed district attorney, to 
which office he was elected in 1922 and reelected in 1926. He has been a 
faithful and capable official, showing neither fear nor favor, and is regarded 
as one of the best district attorneys this county has ever had.

     On May 4, 1914, Mr. Myers was united in marriage to Miss Louise Gabriel, 
of Portland, and they are the parents of four children: Stanley, Jr., aged 
thirteen years; Dorothy Jane, aged eleven; Barbara Ellen, nine; and Mathew, 
four years. Mr. Myers supports the republican party and is a Mason, belonging 
to Portland Consistory, A. A. S. R. and Al Kader Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S. He 
has membership in Portland Lodge, B. P. O. E., the American Legion, the 
University Club, the Multnomah County Bar Association, the Oregon State Bar 
Association and the American Bar Association. On December 17, 1917, Mr. Myers 
enlisted in the United States Sanitary Corps, in which he was commissioned a 
captain, and served on special law enforcement work. A man of sterling 
qualities, well founded in the basic principles of the law, forceful and 
effective in the prosecution of his cases and loyal to his obligations of 
citizenship, he has proven well worthy of the high place which he holds in the 
regard of his fellowmen.
