Georpe Wycliffe McBride. 57 years old, ex-United States
Senator for Oregon, to which office he was elevated from
that of Secretary of State, and for more than 20 years prom
inent in official and political life in this state, died at nine
o'clock Sur.Jay morninpr in Portland.
Mr. McBride was the son of James and Mahala McBride,
who emifrrated to Oregon from Missouri in 1S4S. He was
the youngest of a family cf 14 childred, and was born on the
old homestead in Yamhill Cocrty. Oregon. March 13, 1S54.
He attended the public schools of Yamhill Gwnty. and of
St. Helens, afterwards ?;r.t a year in the preparatory de
partment of Willamette UtiTerstr at Sal-em. and also attend
ed the Christian CoIi-?e at Mcr.rr.ccth for two years. Upon
leaving the Mor.mouti scbx-L Mr. McBriie west to St. Hel
ens, Columbia Ounty. w't-ee i fjowd geseral merchand
ising for nine years. Wh-le r.:t wxri'g oa customers, he de
voted his time to the s tudr of law. teing finally admttted to
the bar in his term as Secretary c f Slate several years later.
He vas accounted one of the leaiing and prominent citizens
of Col i.nbia Ccunty. and his consutuents gave an expression
of their appreciation of his ability and public-spiritednes by
electing him a member of the House of Representative in the
Oregon Legislature for the 1882 session, when he was only
28 years of age. He was elected speaker of the House at
that session, and this recognition marked his appearance in
the political activities of this state which continued for a score
of years.
In 1886 Mr. McBride was elected Secretary of State, and
"at the conclusion of his first term, four years later, he was
re-elected. On completing his second term as Secretary of
State, in 1803, he was elected United States Senator, to
succeed J. N. Dolph. Mr. Dolph was seeking re-election,
hut could not muster the required 46 votes on j'oint ballot
Mr. McBride was a Dolph supporter, but on the last night
of the session, within a few minutes of final adjournment,
when it became apparent that Mr. Dolph could not possibly
win, the name of Mr. McBride was presented, and he was
elected.
Mr. McBride served one term as Senator, completing his
term in 1!X)1. In r.H)l, following his retirement from the
Senate, Mr. McBride was appointed by President McKinley,
his personal friend, as United States Commissioner to the
St. Louis Exposition, the appointment holding for four years.
It was w hile holding this commission that Mr. McBride was
married. The event took place May 21, 1902, in New York
City, when he married Miss Laura W. Walter, of Portland,
daughter of Charles and Catherine Walter, who came to Ore
gon in 1879. There were no children born of the union, and
the widow alone survives.
Mr. McBride was a member of a family distinguished in
state and National affairs. His father James McBride
served as Minister to the Hawaiian Islands under President
Lincoln. It was Mr. McBride. Sr., while a midshipman dur
ing the Civil War, who forced LordBeresford to replace the
coat of arms Beresford had torn from the consulate station.
A departed brother. John K. McBride, was the first Re
publican Congressman from Oregon. This same brother waa
also the first Supreme Judge of the Territory of .Utah.
Thomas A. McBride, one of the best known jurists of Oregon,
is another brother. He is one of the Associate Justices of
the Oregon Supreme Court at the present time. Another
surviving brother is Dr. James H. McBride, of Tasadenaj
Cal. Dr. McBride is a noted specialist in nervous diseases,
and was called in consultation in the case of Giteau, the
assassin of President Garfield.
Six of Mr. McBride's ten sisters preceded him to the grave.
They were: Mrs. Martha Adams of Salem, wife of S. C.
Adams; Mrs. Klvira J. Butler, of Eastern Oregon, who died
two years ago: Mary C. Holman. mother of Alfred C Hoi
man, editor of the Argonaut, of San Francisco; Emily L.
Yergin, Susan Giltner. mother of Edmond 0. Giltncr, Secre
tary of the Port land Chamber of Commerce, and Ellen B.
McBride. The foursurviving sisters are: Louisa A. Woods,
of Portland, widow of George U Woods, one of the early
Govenors of this State; Mrs. Lucinda M. Caplea of Portland;
Mrs. Nancy E. Dolman, of Portland, and Mrs. Judith Smith,
of Boise. Idaho. .
Mr. McBride was a prominent 32nd degree Mason In this
state.
Services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Trinity Episco
pal Church, by Rev. A. A. Morrison. At the Crematorium
the services wore said by W. A. M. Brock. The pallbearers
were Frank Lovell. James Muckle, T. J. Cleeton, 1. L.
Patterson, J. C. Morelnnd and W. D. Fenton. The honorary
pallbearers were Phil Metschan, C. W. Fulton, D. M. Dunne,
Joseph Simon and Associate Justice Burnett and Moore.
A REMARKABLE INVENTION
A revelation in the art of fruit
and vegetable preservation was
presented to the Commercial
Club at its meeting Wednesday
evening. At its invitation Mr.
Holton formerly of this city and
Mr. Geo. Rogers of Portland, dis
played a model and products of
the Lambert machine. This is a
method of preserving all kinds of
fruits and vegetables, whereby
only the water is extracted and
when so processed or "KeeD-
freshed" as it is termed, the pro
ducts keep in a fresh state
(minus the water) for an indefi
nite time. Whenever desired to
use, they are immersed in water
allowed to absorb the amount of
water originally extracted and
becomes again essentially fresh
fruits and vegetables.
Mr. Rogers' recital of the me
thod and the development of the
invention, created a profound
impression and on the urgent re
quest of the Commercial Club he
remained over and repeated the
lecture before the club and
citizens generally, Thursday
evening. A large number of
Lambert Keepfresh plants have
already been erected in Oregon
and one is now quite certain for
this city. Its erection would
mean a boon to this community.
Mr. Henry Lambert the inven
tor is an Oregon horticulturist of
note. He is the son of Mr. J. H.
Lambert, famous as the develop
er of Lambert cherry. Mr. H.
M. Lamberts invention will add
tremendously to the Lambert
family's horticultural fame.
