SAMUEL HUBBARD HAYS, of Boise, who was attorney general of Idaho in 1899 and 1900 and who has been prominently identified with shaping the history of the state in many ways, was born in Juneau, Wisconsin, May 18, 1864, and was very young when he was taken to Horicon, Wisconsin, by his father, the Hon. James B. Hays, who afterward became a distinguished resident of Idaho, serving as chief justice of the supreme court from 1885 until 1887.
The son pursued his early education in the schools of Horicon and after attending the high school continued his studies in the Northwestern University of Watertown. He took up the profession of teaching at Iron Ridge, Wisconsin, and in 1885 left his native state to become a resident of Idaho. He was appointed deputy clerk of the district court for Bingham county at Blackfoot, Idaho, and later became clerk of the United States district court for the third judicial district and afterward clerk for the second district court, which included the city of Boise, where he has since resided. He was appointed clerk of the supreme court of Idaho in 1889 and began the practice of law in 1890. He served as a member of the city council of Boise in 1894 and 1895 and in 1898 was elected attornev general of Idaho, serving through the regular two years' term. He filled the office under Governor Steunenberg and had charge of and directed the legal affairs of the state under the conditions of martial law adopted for the preservation of order in the Coeur d'Alene riots. He was the author of the so called "Permit Proclamation," a martial law measure at that time. While serving as attorney general he was associated with D. W. Ross, state engineer, in drawing the draft of the form of contract used by the Carey Act projects.
Mr. Hays has long enjoyed a most enviable reputation as a prominent member of the Idaho bar and has represented many important corporate interests. He has been attorney for the Twin Falls Land and Water Company, the Twin Falls Salmon River Land and Water Company, the Twin Falls Oakley Land and Water Company as well as other projects. He was one of the organizers of the Twin Falls Investment Company, which sold the lands on the Twin Falls project. He also was attorney for the Shoshone and Twin Falls Water Power Company. He became one of the organizers of the Idaho Building and Loan Association, of which he has been the president for more than twenty-five years. He was also one of the organizers of the First National Bank of Twin Falls and of the Boise Title & Trust Company. In the spring of 1916 he was elected mayor of Boise and filled the position for three years, his administration being characterized by various important projects relating to the benefit and improvement of the city.
On the 1st of March, 1888, Mr. Hays was married to Miss Gertrude Lindsey at Blackfoot, Idaho, and they have become parents of six children: James B., a civil engineer of Boise; Elizabeth, the wife of Leon M. Decker, of Lincoln, Nebraska; Samuel D., an attorney at law residing in Boise; and Gertrude and Permelia, twins. One of their children, Samuel Lindsey, died in infancy. For more than a third of a century Samuel H. Hays has been a resident of Idaho and has been closely associated with many of those enterprises and interests which have contributed in large measure toward the development of the state, toward shaping its political history and giving tangible form to those events and occurrences which have marked its annals.
