LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
Sketch Of the Career Of the Hon. d.
iol III. MCMILLAN

The birthplace of Col. D. H. McMil.
Ian, the new lieutenant governor OF
Manitoba, was in the county of On
tario, near the town of Whitby, in the
Province of Ontario. The years Of
his boyhood and early manhood, how
ever, were spent in the town OF Col
lingwood. He received his education
in the public schools and the collegi-
ate institute of that town and in the
city of Toronto. His early ambitions
were largely towards military life;
and it was his cherished desire to en-
ter the British army. He took a course
Of training in the military schools OF
Toronto, where he was eminently sue
cessful, obtaining first class ce'tiE~
Gates in both the infantry and the cav
airy schools. He was identified with
military organizations in Ontario for
q number of years, and served there
during the Fenian raids at Niagara in
1864, and at Port Colborne in March
and Fort Erie in June, 1866. In 1870
he was selected for the position OF
captain in the first Red River expedi-
ton under Colonel Wellesley. The
young captain remained in Winnipeg
with the force for year, and returned
to Ontario in the summer Of 1871.
Coming to Manitoba again in 1874,
Mr.. Mcmillan engaged In Winnipeg IN
the milling and grain business, with
which he remained connected from
1875 until three or four years ago.
He built, in 1870, the first -four mill
ever erected in the province; and, In
the following year, exported to Mime
apolis the first shipment. az COM
mercial transaction, Of Manitoba's
wheat. He did not, meanwhile. lose
his interest in military matters, but
was ready for active service whenever
troops were required. He was major
Of the Ninetieth Battalion until just
before the Northwest rebellion in 1885,
when he resigned, intending to give up
military affairs; but when the trouble
broke out, the old martial spirit was
revived, and he organized, along with
Col. Scott, the Ninety-fifth Battalion.
and went with that force to the North
west. He was then senior major, but
was afterwards in command OF the
battalion-Mon:real Herald and Star.
