Born in Maine, he studied engineering in Massachusetts. He moved to California in 1849 and to Oregon in 1853. He found employment with the Oregon Steam Navigation Company (OSN), becoming its chief engineer in the early 1860s.[2] He worked for OSN for 27 years. He designed 72 steamboats and was an inventor, filing more than 30 patents during his time with OSN.[2] Running as the Republican candidate, he was elected in 1885 to a three-year term as mayor of Portland, defeating Sylvester Pennoyer. He died while in office, two months before the end of his term.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite news|title=Death of Mayor Gates|date=April 28, 1888|newspaper=The Morning Oregonian|page=8}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|last=Terry|first=John|title=Inventor John Gates served Portland as riverboat developer, civic activist, mayor|newspaper=The Oregonian|date=August 15, 2010 |url=http://www.oregonlive.com/O/index.ssf/2010/08/inventor_john_gates_served_por.html|accessdate=June 21, 2014}} External links
