Harry Lane (August 28, 1855-May 23, 1917) was a physician and politician who served as United States Senator from the state of Oregon.

Early life and education

Lane was born in Corvallis, Oregon in 1855. He was the grandson of Oregon politician Joseph Lane and a nephew of Oregon U.S. Representative Lafayette Lane. He received his undergraduate degree from Willamette University in 1876, and his medical degree from Willamette's medical school two years later.

Medical career

Lane did his postgraduate work at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City and began a medical practice in San Francisco. He returned to Oregon and practiced medicine in Portland and was the superintendent of the Oregon State Insane Asylum (now the Oregon State Hospital) from 1887 to 1891.

Political career

He was elected mayor of Portland in 1905 and served one four-year term. At the end of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, he advocated for a "permanent rose carnival", leading him to be called the "Father of the Portland Rose Festival", which continues today. In 1912, he was elected to the United States Senate, where he served on the Committee on Forest Reservations and Game Protection and the Committee on Fisheries.

Lane died in San Francisco on May 23, 1917, with interment at Lone Fir Cemetery in Portland. [http://politicalgraveyard.com/geo/OR/MU.html#RBB1CQ6LY Political Graveyard: Lone Fir Cemetery] ]
