Maj. Frank A. Fenn. It has been given to Major Fenn to uphold most fully the high prestige of a name that has been identified with Idaho history in a specially prominent and distinguished way, from the early pioneer era in the territory to the present days of opulent prosperity and progress. He has been a resident of Idaho since his boyhood days and has marked the passing years with large and worthy achievement—accomplishment such as would naturally be expected on the part of one of so marked ability, loyalty and progressiveness as designate the man. His career has been varied and interesting and he has been specially influential in public affairs in his home state, where he has thrice served as a member of the legislature, in which connection he had the distinction of being speaker of the house in the first general assembly after the admission of Idaho to the Union. As a youth he served in the United States navy, and he was an officer of an Idaho volunteer regiment which took active part in military operations in the Philippine islands incidental to the Spanish-American war, besides which he saw active service in the Nez Perces Indian war. He is a representative member of the Idaho bar and attained to definite precedence in the work of his profession, but since 1901 he has held the office of forest supervisor in the United States Forest Service in Idaho, a position in which he has accomplished most effective work in protecting and conserving the magnificent forests of the state. Few citizens of Idaho are more widely known and none has more secure place in popular confidence and esteem, so that it may readily be understood that there is all of consistency in according to Major Fenn specific recognition in this history of Idaho.
