George Sillier, Veteran Station

Continuously Since 1883.
IloyS Arc All Volunteers,
' AURORA. Or.. July 20. Four , flve
folnted blue stars on tho white back
ground of a service flaff in the window
of the Southern Pacific depot at Au
rora. Or., attract the attention of hun
dreds of travelers dally. These four
tars represent the four sons of George
Miller, veteran station agent of the
Southern Paciflo at that place. Mr.
Miller Is 100 per cent American, both
Bis parents and grandparents having
keen born in the United States in the
State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Miller him
self was born in Bethel, Mo., the home
Of the famous Bethel Colony, founded
by Dr. "William Keil, who later estab
lished the Aurora Colony at that place.
Mr. Miller came to Oregron in 1877 at
the age of 22 years and went to worlc
for the railroad company in 1883, and
has been in its employ continuously
ever since, a period of 35 years.
Sou All Volunteers.'
Ills four sons have all, at one time or
Another, been employes of the Southern
Pacific.
James A. Miller, the oldest son. Is
k Lieutenant in the avlatipn branch of
the Signal Corps, and is now stationed
St Kelly Field, South Antonio, Tex.,
the largest aviation field in the world.
Corporal Alvin W, Miller, headquar
ters company of the 162d U. S. Infantry
(Third Oregon), is with the American
expeditionary forces in France,- where
the first gold band has been added on
Ills coat sleeve for six months' foreign
Service.
George W. Miller and Andrew Glesy
Miller, members of Base Hospital No.
46, are also with the American Expedl
tlonary forces. All are volunteers, and
their parents and relatives and Aurora
friends are all protrd of that fact.
Pure Americanism Proren,.
The determination of these young
tnen to perform the imperative duties
of the hour while the life of the Nation
la Imperiled by war is sufficient evi
dence of their devotion to their coun
try. Likewise the sacrifice that their
family has made approving their action
Is further evidence, if any were needed,
of the pure Americanism of this
Aurora family.
Lieutenant James A. Miller Is
graduate of the law department of
Stanford University. He is of slight
stature and weight, and made many
efforts to enter the service before he
was accepted. His letters to his parents
reveal a patriotic sentiment that is at
tested by his action in entering the
service of his country.
Corporal Miller, with the l2d In
fantry in France, was formerly em
ployed at the Union Station in Port
land, and spent " some time with the
EUison-'White Chautauqua circuit. He

Twins Kmwii In Portland. "
The other Miller boys in the Army
re known as the "Miller Twins," and
are well known in high school circles
in Portland, where they - attended
Washington High School before join
ing Major YenneyCs medical unit. They
were active in amateur baseball, and
when the war broke out were just as
full of patriotic enthusiasm to partici
pate in it lis they were in a baseball
rne. These boys are as much alike
ss two peas in pod,, as certain Portland
young ladies sometimes found out dur
ing their high school days, after being
escorted home by the wrong twin. Even
In their home town there are still
yeople who cannot tell them apart. It
is a safe bet they will keep the Boches
guessing, , too, if they ever have oc
casion .to meet them in any other ca
pacity than as hospital attendants.
Mother and Slater Workers.
A hue the lour sons are serving their
country in the Army, their mother and
sister are active workers in the Red
Cross, and in tho Aurora Auxiliary to
the Third Oregon, an organization that
does all it can for the 90 soldier boys
who have gone from this little com
munity. This is the organisation that
presented the town with the beautiful
community service flag, to which Bev
oral stars are being added almost
weekly.
Because Aurora was once known as
the "Aurora Colony" and founded by
uv. tt.eii, wno was born in Prussia, it i
often thought a considerable German
sentiment exists here. This, however,
is not true. Most of the original mem
bers of the Aurora Colony were Penn
sylvanta Germans, who had lost what
ever attachment they (or their Barents)
may have had for Prussia long before
they came to Oregon. While there may
be a sinister exception or two. to this
day, it is doubtful if there can be found
anywhere any more loyal citizens than
the surviving members of the "Aurora
tolony.
Pride Is Warranted.
Both Mr. and Mrs, George Miller, and
their parents also, were members of the
colony, but no taint of Germanism at
t aches, and -it would be a man of con
siderable hardihood that dare suggest
such a thing to the local representative
of the director-general of American
Hallways,, for there is nothing on earth
unless it. be his four soldier sons, of
which George Miller is prouder than of
being an American citizen and he has
good reason to be proud of both sons
and citizenship, for the sons are all
trood. clean-cut. enthusiastic lads, who
will give a good account of themselves
when they meet the enemies of their
country. And no man of the city of
Aurora, or any other city, who look
upon that four-starred service flag in
the window of the Southern Pacific
JJepot can question the sacrificing loy
alty and patriotism of the Miller
family. "
