     M. V. SUTHERLAND is one of Portland's leading civil engineers, who for 
twenty years has been successfully engaged in engineering and contracting 
work, in which he has gained a well merited reputation for ability and 
trustworthiness. He was born in Grant county, Oregon, on the 22d of March, 
1884, a son of John Drew and Frankie (Smith) Sutherland. His father was born 
in Ontario, Canada, in 1854, but went to California when a small boy, residing 
in that state until 1872, when he came to Oregon. For some years he was 
engaged in contracting, but later, was connected with the state treasurer's 
office at Salem for many years. His wife was born in New York state and was a 
daughter of William ("Dixie") Smith, who was one of the pioneers of Oregon and 
was long engaged in mercantile affairs here. Both parents are deceased.

     M. V. Sutherland attended the public schools and studied civil, mining 
and architectural engineering. In January, 1908, he opened an office in 
Portland and has since done a vast amount of engineering work and sub-
contracting in this part of the state, being regarded as competent and 
reliable in everything he undertakes. He has prospered and is one of the 
owners of the As-You-Like-It Restaurant, of which he is secretary and 
treasurer and which is one of the high class and popular eating houses of this 
city.

     In 1914 Mr. Sutherland was married to Miss Hazel Morrow, of Heppner, 
Oregon, and they are the parents of two children, Donald and William. Mr. 
Sutherland has always been a republican and fraternally is a thirty-second 
degree Mason and a Noble of the Mystic Shrine. He has a wide acquaintance 
throughout this city and commands uniform respect and esteem because of his 
ability, his honorable methods and his splendid personal qualities.
