Senate Pays
Tribute To
O. D. Cochrane
Members of the Territorial Sen
ate last Wednesday paid tribute
tq the memory of the late Senator
| O. D Cochran by adopting a reso
lution, which will be sent to a
brother of the late Senator and to
the Nome, Fairbanks, Anchorage,
| Juneau and Ketchikan Bar Asso
ciations.
Senator Cochran who was born
in Kansas, came to Alaska in 1900.
He died on January 29, 1948.
During his long career in Alas
ka he served as Mayor, City At
torney and U. S Commissioner at
Nome, was a member of the House
of Representatives in the 1921 ses
sion and of the Senate from 1937
until his death. He was also a
member of the Board of Regents
of the University of Alaska from
1939 until his death.
Senators Lyng. Munz, Jones and
Anderson are of the Second Divi
sion which Senator Cochran rep
resented during his career in the
Legislature.
' Senators Collins, Jones and An
derson spoke briefly on the career
of the late Senator.
“It was an inspiration to work
with him in the Legislature. Deep
ly roofed in his own convictions,
he was able, too, to see the point
of view of others,” Senator Collins
said.
“A kindly man, he will be long
remembered by the people of
Nome,” said Senator Jones.
“He was a fearless man and a
good man to come in contact with”
added Senator Anderson. ‘‘His
death was a great loss to the peo
ple of the Second Division.’
