Tha self-mc-rlflcing efforts on tha part
of tha aunt, as brought ut In tha evi
dence, prompted the commendation of
the opposing attorneys In the raee. and
caused tha court to declare thit the
boa should be placed in her custody
until they sra grown.
The bote are ona of Alfred and Knaa
Smith, who died when the boys were
young. That Alfred rmltt. the father of
the boys, had Incurred tha displeasure
of his relatives by marrying a woman

li r for In mother seemed to have been
Inherited by the sons of tha dead woman,
although tha grandparents, Captain and
Mrs. W. l. Smith, took the boys to
their horn and provided food and shel

As tha grmndparenta are old. tha
grandfather being neartr years, the
rare of the children fell largely upon
Margaret Smith, who has always re
mained under the roof of her parents.
Inharmonious conditions bar prevailed
In tha family alnca tha boa were taken

among associates not congenial to them,
they should be encouraged to develop

Mr. McMillan was a native of Mis

1173. Naturally atrong of physique,
be took to athletics In his early youth
and when his parents removed to Cali
fornia In th early 0s h entered
Stanford t'ntverslty as a law student.
Ther he first gained fame aa a foot
ball player, for his prowess earned him
a position aa left tackle on the famous
Stanford I'nlverslty team of 1SJ3. Th

Mr. McMillan won fame aa a player
on th Stanford team In 11)1 and 1S4.
lie took a position In !!& aa librarian
for the Oakland. CaU Bar Association
and began th atudy of law. His ath
letic prowes and hla liking for foot
ball gained him a plac on th famous
Kellanc Athletic Club team of US.
With that club h went to Butte.
Monr, and when playing for Reliance
at that city attracted th attention of
William A Clark, who offered him In
ducementa'to remain In Montana. Mr.
McMillan accepted them.
He returned to California and mar

waa captain of th tfamoua Butt team,
whlcb defeated many of th crack foot
ball teams of th country. Including
that of th Multnomah Amatour Ath
letic Club.
Multnomah Team Rrorj-anlard.
McMillan removed to Portland and
Joined th Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club. That was th year of til Spanish-American
War. and the call to arms
depleted th Multnomah football team
to inch an extent that few players of
the crack teams of the previous yesrs
remained, and Mr. McMillan was elect
ed captain of the eleven and tha task
of organising; an eleven to represent
the club on tha gridiron that season
was assigned to him. H went to
work with an energy and spirit which
developed a team which defeated the
University of Oregon by th acor of
tl to and was victorious in all its
game that season. He secured a po
sition with the Chrlstenen Machinery
Company, of Portland, and remained
with that concern until he waa ap
pointed Deputy Sheriff under Sheriff
Krasler. , w
Kach successive year found Mr. Mc
Millan In the football molesklna under
th colora of "Old Multnomah." and
each year he waa th star of old. Ha
(Mined impervious to time and gained
th sobriquet of th "Old Warrior. a."
for it waa up to Gorg McMillan to
turn th tld in favor of tha "Winged
M" In many a hard-fought football
struggle, and th tales of hla prowes
upotfth gridiron are so many and of
such a brilliant nature that books could
be written of the history be wrought
for himself on th field of football
struggles.

grain ami milling business, and Mr.
Lombard sold his Interest to Mr. Mc
Millan aoon after the company had
been started. Mr. McMillan then organ
ized the George W. McMillan Grain
Company, of which he was the presi
dent, general manager and chief stock
holder, and was doing a thriving" busl
nr.s. Mr. McMlKan was president of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club in
190) and 1S0S. being the first man to
be honored by a re-election to the of
fice In the history of tha famous ath
letic Institution. Walter A. Holt, the
present executive of the club. Is the
only1 other rlubmember to hsve been
similarly honored.
It wss In recognition jf his services
to the club In an athletic way that the
directors of the organization In 18911
voted him an honorary membership, a
distinction ehared by orly nine other
men. although tha club has been In
existence So years.
Service for Team Continues.
Prom IMS until 1904 Mr. McMillan
was manager or captain, or both, of
the clubs football team. and thoxe
year th team always made wonderful
records. He retired from the general
ship of the team In 1904. though he was
unable to retire from active competition
because of tha demand of th clubmen
for his services and even when presi
dent of the club in 1907. his flirt term
in that office, he donned tb football
spanglea to help his club to victory.
Upon being elected to president of th
rlub. he began an active campaign for
fli acquisition by th Multnomah Club
of what is known as tha King tract.
Immediately adjoining tha old field on
th south, and upon which Theodora
Roosevelt last Wednesday laid the cor
nerstone of what Is to be the finest
athletic Institution in th West. The
acquisition of th additional property
by the club Is generally credited to the
enthusiastic and executive ability of
Mr. McMillan, whore one Idea during
hi. Incumbency seemed to be to further
the scope of the Multnomah Cluh. In
acquiring the additional property he
foresaw the wants of the club better
than any other man. for the fire of a
year ago brought the necessity of the
new ground horn to the clubmen much
mora speedily than even Mr. McMillan
bad thought.
Race for Sheriff Lost.
When acting aa president of th club
In 1908, bis second term, he waa men
tioned prominently as a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Sheriff,
but refused to be a candidate against
Robert L. Stevens, withdrawing In Mr.
Stevens' favor. Backed by many of hla
f rlenria he entered the lists against
Sheriff Stevens at the primaries last
September, bowever. but. waa defeated.
In all his business transactions Mr.
McMillan's Integrity and sound Judg
ment earned him the confidence of a
wld circle. His wife and 12-year-old
daughter, Consuello, survive him. Mr.
McMillan 1. also survived by a sister.
Miss Jan McMillan, who lives at Los
Angeles. Miss McMillan has been In
formed of her brother's death.
The funeral will be held under tha
auspices of the Mulnnnmah Amateur
Athletic Club and probably will be held
Monday, as relatives from California
are expected to reach Portland by that
time.
Mr. McMillan had been engaged by
Gay Lombard, hla friends of many
years, to manage Mr. Lombard's cam
paign for Mayor. Mr. McMillan was
chosen because of his general popular
ity and hla familiarity with the polit
ical altuatton. aa well as because of the
utmost faith possessed by Mr. Lom
bard In his Integrity.
Whole-souled Interest in the desig
nation of , children's playgrounds was
one of Mr. McMillan's leading activi
ties. In this movement he waa an
Indefatigable worker, and his athletic
proclivities led him to asstat any move
ment designed to benefit the young. In
many inatances he gained noteworthy
additions to the ranks of tha Public

NEWS

Whole City Quickly Hears of
McMillan's Death.
LOSS FELT UNIVERSALLY
Associates Join . In Tributes to In
tegrity and Loyalty Multnomah
Clubmen Mourn Distinguished
and Active Member.
It Is seldom thst t'h news, of a
tragedy circulates throughout Portland
aa quickly as did the tidings of the
death by accident yesterday of George
W. McMillan. From the moment that
the. news of hi death was communi
cated to hi. most Intimate friends it
spread rapidly, and within less than an
hour scores of telephone calls were
coming into the office of The Oregonian
asking for confirmation of the report.
Mr. McMillan's popularity was at
tested by the deep regret everywhere
expressed. At Multnomah Amateur Ath
letic Club the news came as a great
(hock. He had taken a leading part
In directing the affairs of the club for
years and the orKanlxatlon had no
more popular member. In business and
aoclal circles the feeling was the same.
Saddest of all was the duty that fell
to Mrs. Frank K. Watkins who made
known to Mrs. McMillan the news of
her husband's death. Mrs. Watkins.
with her husband, had planned to spend
the evening with Mr. and Mrs. McMil
lan. Mrs. Watkins heard of the acci
dent early and went directly to the
McMillan home at 171 King street to
tell Mrs. McMillan of her loss.
News Told to Mrs. McMillan.
Mrs. Watkins accompanied the widow
to the morgue, to which place they
were conveyed by Gay Lombard, who
had gone to the' McMillan home to
break the news, only to find that Mrs.
Watkins had relieved him of the task.
At the undertaking establishment of
Dunning McKntee, to which place
the body had been removed, Mrs. Mc
Millan stood the shock better than ber
friends had expected, though they so
licitously looked after her comfort and
endeavored to sustain her as best they
could under the circumstances. It waa
not until she told the news to her U-year-old
daughter. Consuello, that the
widow broke down.
Many persons called at the office of
The Oregonian to express their appre
ciation of Mr. McMillan and their re
gret at his death. Following are soma
of the tributes paid:
Walter A. Holt, president of the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic Club In the
death of George W. McMillan the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club and
tho City of Portland as well sustained
an Irreparable loss. I first met George
McMillan when he, as a member of the
Stanford University football team,
played against the Multnomah Club in
1893. Sine 1S9S. when he first affil
iated himself with the Multnomah
Club, his efforts on behalf of our or
ganization became so conspicuous and
so energetic and of such a beneficial
nature to our organization that he was
nominated and elected to an honorary
membership, an honor which is shared
by only nine others in the 20 years of
the club's existence.
Personality Mado Krlend.i.
George McMillan was probably more
famous as a football player than for
anything else, for ho played the Inter
collegiate gam longer than any other
athlete, so far as I can recollect. Be
sides being a man of powerful physique
he was possessed of a keen mind and
sound Judgment. He was also of a
delightful personality which won
friends at all times. On behalf of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club I
extend to his bereaved family the sin
cere sympathy of our membership.
Gay Lombard The death of George
McMillan, came as a greater shock to
me oven than the death of my own
father, which occurred only a few
weeks ago. George McMillan waa my
friend, my companion, and I do not
believe that a day has passed in the
lust eight years when both of us were
In town that we have not met at some
time or other. He was as honest as
the day Is long, and I had greater con
fidence In his Integrity than In that of
. i n m T knnw Voil Mn HftV
1 y uuit uw" " "
for me that I believe that the death of
George McMillan Is a regrettable loss
to the entire community, for such men
as he are few indeed. I had depended
upon him to manage my campaign for
Mayor, and I can hardly realize that
my friend la no more.
Ivosa Is Severe Blow.
Charles E. McDonell A better man
did not exist than George McMillan. As
a friend he was aa true as steel and
would go further out of his way to
favor a friend than any man 1 ever
knew. His loss Is a severe blow not
only to the Multnomah Club, but to
Portland as well.
Dow V. Walker The shock of George
McMillan's death is terrible. I can
hardly realize that this genial, whole
souled man Is passed away. He was
the soul of honor and a man whose ac
tions in lie will preserve his memory.
W. B. Fechhelmer George McMillan
dead? I can hardly realize it. He waa
one of my dearest friends, and his un
timely end la a sad blow to me. A bet
ter friend never breathed than George
McMillan. I have the deepest aym
pathy for his bereaved family.
prank J. Lonergan A better, squarer
or mora thorough gentleman than
George W. McMillan I never met. Ho
was the soul of honor and a friend in
all the sense that term implies. 1 re
gret his loss most sincerely.
Frank K. Watkins My long associa
tion with George McMillan makes his
death a terrible blow to me. He was
as honorable and upright a man as I
have ever met. and one of the most
congenial and companionable of men.
Always on the alert to do a friend a
service, he frequently neglected his own
ends to further those of his friends.
Generosity Was Marked.
Henry Everdlng George McMillan
was a man. He was honest and worthy
of the confidence of anyone." He had
no faults unless generosity towards fel
low men can be so styled. I knew him
and loved him. and mourn his loss far
more than I am able to express It.
K. H. Farrell I cannot picture
George McMillan as having passed
away. Th shock Is too great. Such
a friend a man never had. and many
years of intimate association with him
have caused me to love him as a
brother. He was my friend, and a
friend to all who knew him.
A b. McAlpln I cannot realize yet
that George baa passed away. A bet
ter, truer or more generous friend a
man never had. Generosity In friend
ship was his fault, if auch can be called
a fault, but every man who knew
George McMillan appreciated his worth.
John F. Logan George McMillan was
a man of sterling principles, and I have
known him for many years. He was
honest to the core and a gentleman
throughout, which made his citizenship
a credit to this community. His loss
wllM widely felt.
Frank C Harmar I could not feel
worse if It was my own brother. To
have known George McMillan was to
have loved him. and hla loss Is a se
vere blow to me. The shock of his
death is stunning.
Kdwsrd J. Davey For many years I
knew George McMillan and I know no
man whose honesty and ability were
farther above reproach than his. - He
was a friend Indeed, and deeply re
gret his untimely end.
E. Plowden Stott He was one of the
best friends I ever had. and a man
whose friendship I deeply appreciated.
He accomplished wonders for the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic Club, not only
as an athlete, but Ihrough his execu
tive ability as president of the organization.
CHAPMAN VISITS MEDFORD
People Assured That Portland Is
for. All of Oregon.
As a missionary of peace -and good
will. C. C. Chapman, manager of the
promotion committee of the Portland
Commercial Club, spent a day with tho
citizens of Medford this week, and re
turned to Portland yesterday morning.
He addressed the Commercial Club of
Medford and outlined the situation be
tween tho two cities.
"For some time," said Mr. Chapman,
"there has been a feeling In Medford
that Portland was Interfering in her rate
case without Just cause. It will be re-
. membered that Portland intervened in
j the freight rate suits between Medford
and the Southern Pacific which involved
the question of distributive rates.
"I contended in my talk that Portland
I had only one object in its relations with
Medford. and that was to secure its up
I building and promote its interests, be-
! cause Medford was an integral part of
Oregon. I told them that Portland was
for Oregon. All things which beneiited
: Medford benefited Oregon and, therefore.
Portland was with Medford.
"Medford Is certainly growing," con
tinued Mr. Chapman. "It Is one of the
choicest spots in this country. - One
feature that appealed to me was the
fact that the Medford Club sent its liter
ature to every person applying to the
Portland Commercial Club for Oregon
reading matter. Our club sends out to
each of the clubs In Oregon and Southwest
Washington a list of names and ad
dresses of people who wish information.
"Medford is going to be one of the.
Important commercial points of tha
Coast, and today stands in high repute
throughout the East."
Good Things in Markets
THE first strawberries of the season
were to be seen in the markets
yesterday. Though welcome, they can
hardly be considered a "popular" fruit
at SO cents for a small basket. Forced
rhubarb., of superior color, size and
Juiciness suggests acceptable Spring
pies and simple desserts. Ordinary
rhubarb Is now selling at about 5 cents
a pound. Oranges, however, are, with
bananas, both red and yellow, still the
leading fruit In the market displays;
their quality is excellent and prices
range from 15 to 35 cents a dozen. Good
grapefruit are to be had from S to 15
cents each; good apples are getting
scarcer and cost 20 to 40 cents a dozen.
Asparagus is not yet really plentiful,
but there Is a moderate supply of fair
ly good quality at 10 to 15 cents a
pound. Mexican tomatoes are quite
popular Just now and sell tt !ij to 10
cents a pound. Cabbage sprouts an
mustard greens are coming In. Spinach
Is very good at 5 cents a pound. Good
Oregon cauliflower can be had at 10 to
20 cents a bead. Celery is scarce and
no longer reliable In quality. Spring
onions are well to the fore at present
(one does not need to visit the market
stalls for confirmation of this state
ment), and so are chives, dandelion,
watercresa and radishes. There are
green peas and beans at about 15 cents
a pound and artichokes at 12V cents
each.
New this week in the fish market are
sturgeon at 10 cents: shad roe, at 25
cents, and silver smelt at 12 cents a
pound. Shrimps seem particularly
good this week and slightly cheaper
than usual at 12 to 15 cents a pound.
Razor clams are also, good and inex
pensive at 10 cents to 12 cents a dozen.
Crabs cost 10 to 15 cents each and scar
lot lobsters flaunt themselves gaily at
35 to 40 cents a pound. The fish list Is
usually good at this season and In
cludes striped bass and Chinook salmon,
at 20 cents; catfish, halibut, cheeks and
California sole, 15 cents; halibut, ling
cod and black cod, 10 o 12 cents;
large fresh herring, California shad.
i, i a n H flnunder. 10 cents, and
Irui . - ' -
, Columbia River smelt. 4 to 5 cents a
I pound. aiusseis L "
hard clams at 5 cents a pound.
Chicken and turkey remain as
haughty and high-priced as ever, at

ev auu , .
I saw no ducks or geese, but there were
a few nice squabs at 75 cents to 31 a
pair, and frying chickens at 76 cents
Eggs, It is said, may go a shade high
er for Easter, but are still selling at
20 to 25 cents a dozen. Butter of the
best local brands costs 76 to 80 cents a
roll, but Eastern butter, of good qual
ity. Is offered at 55 to 70 cents, and. for
the comfort of the housekeeper, a
slightly lower price in all makes Is
predicted.

COLLEGE PLAN LAID
Enlargement Is Now Before
Evangelical Church.
FUTURE UNION EXPECTED
ta Creole Academy Will Co-operate
With Pallas Institution With
View of Creating Strong
Educational Force.
Sale of the present grounds, purchase
of 17 acreei in another part of the town,
construction of a. H0.000 administration
building and a gymnasium building and
union of the La Creole Academy with
the college, were tne recommendations
of Rev.- A. A. Winter, acting president
of Dallas College, to the Oregon Confer
ence of the United Evangelical Church In
session yesterday In the First Church,
Ladd's Addition.
The acting president's report reviewed
the college situation and told the need
of enlargement, together with the details
of the enlargement contemplated. It sets
forth that the trustees have secured an
option on-17 acres in a desirable portion
of Dallas. The trustees of Da Creole
Academy will co-operate with Dallas
College In the projected enlargements. It
is proposed to sell the present property
to the City of Dallas, then raise J20.000
hy suscriptions in Dallas and vicinity to
be used in the purchase of the new
grounds.
Definite Plan Proposed.
The'report recommends that conference
appoint a committee to secure plans
and specifications for the new grounds
and buildings, that the grounds be
platted by a competent landscape
artist, tlie-t all future buildings be
placed as platted, and that this work be
expedited as rapidly as possible.
These recommendations were placed in
the hands of a epeclai committee and
probably will be acted on today. The
programme also contemplates the federa
