                        RICHARD HARVEY JOHNSON
                        ----------------------
                        
           The subject of this sketch, the son and law partner of
        RICHARD Z. JOHNSON, subject of the preceding review, was
        born at Silver City in Owyhee county, Idaho, on the 19th
        of July, 1870.
           He received his education at the Boise high school, and
        in mathematics and the modern languages at the Concordia,
        in Zurich, Switzerland, and in Greek and Latin under Pro-
        fessors LAMBERT and WINNEGER, at Lindau, in Boden-See,
        Bavaria.  Returning to America, he entered Yale University
        and afterwards graduated from the law department, with the
        degree of L.L. B., in 1892, just thirty-three years after
        his father had taken the same degree at the same institu-
        tion.  Returning to Idaho, he entered into partnership with
        his father, in the practice of the law at Boise City, the
        capital of the state, with whom he is still associated.
           At the general election in 1896, MR. JOHNSON was elected
        to the house of representatives of the fourth session of the
        state legislature, as a Democrat, and served as chairman of
        the committee on state affairs.
