George H. Hines, secretary in
charge of the Oregon Historical soci-
ety's room in the city hall of Portland,
told me the other day that he printed
the first two books published by Joa-
Quin Miller. Mr.. Hines conducted q
printing establishment at Portland in
the COS, and did the work on contract
for local publisher. The first book
was called Specimens, and was
printed for private circulation amongst
Miller's friends. The second was en-.
titled joaquin ct al, the leading
poem being sympathetic rendering OF
the romance of Joaquin Murietta. This
young man came to California from
Mexico along with the gold rush" OF
the early SOS, and at the age of 19
eloped with the beautiful daughter OF
q wealthy Mexican rancher. He was

turesuue of our Shakespeare statues
This work was executed by him as a
commission from David Garrick in 1758
and was, by the actor, bequeathed to the
British museum, where it now stands
on the right-hand side of the hall
The only other public statues in Lon
don are those in the Poets Fountain in
Park Lane, comprising Shakespeare,
Chaucer and Milton, executed by the
Thornycrofts, the father and his dis
tlnguished son; and the figure of Shake
speare in the podium of the Albert Me-
mortal, we believe by Mr.. Armstead,

But the most ambitious of these works
the most important in size, and the only
attempt to do justice to the poet in an
open space, is the memorial group set up
outside the theater in Stratford-on-
Avon. This is the work of the accom-
plished amateur, Lord Ronald Cover,
who, for the execution of it, retired to
Paris, and in due course produced this
large group of statuary Shakespeare,

circular pedestal, and on smaller shafts
about him are four of his greatest crea-
tions-Hamlet, Lady Macbeth, Prince
Henry, and Falstaff The work com

nation.
In addition to these are certain busts
which must not be omitted. There is that
translated into marble from the Chan
dos portrait; of this many replicas exist.
There is the large marble bust by Au-
,gusto Possaglio, of Florence, which Sig
nor Salvini presented to the Garricl1
club in 1876; it is interesting as an ex-

less as such, however, for it represents

When Miller's fiery poem concerning

promptly adopted the name as his

the name and the poem at least re-

&NAY is to be signally honored by

ton. A day to be known as

ed. The date will be set as soon as
the exposition authorities hear from
Mr.. Miller as to his own preference in
the matter, but in all probability it
will he early in September. The plan
is to have Western Authors Week,
ending in Joaquin Miller Day. Invi-
tations are to be sent to all authors of
more than local prominence residing
west of the Mississippi river, and also
to some writer's in the east whose
books deal notably with western af-
fairs. A special invitation will be sent
to Edwin Markham, author of 1.-THE
Man with the Hoe" and many other
poems, who was born at Oregon City,
Ore, hardly a dozen miles from the
exposition site.
While it is conceded that this gath
ering of western authors will arouse
much interest, there being many wri-
tiers of national reputation in the west,
particularly along the Pacific coast,
there is no doubt that the chief inter
est will center in the presence of Joa-
quin Miller.
Miller is an Oregonian. Born in In

gon many years before the state was
