Mr. Miller has promised to be present
without fail.
The 18th of July will be the culmina-
ton of western authors week." during
which a notable gathering of western
writer's in various lines is expected at
the exposition. One of those specially

poets, nOvelists. short story writer's and
authors of notable books in various
fields of literature-and now for the
first time is afforded an opportunity
for them to meet and become acquaint-
ed.
No exposition ever has given such
recognition to the makers of Itera-
ture. Commenting upon the designa-
ton of a day for Joaquin Miller, the
San Francisco Call says editorially:
The officers of the Lewis and Clark
exposition at Portland have struck out
something original by dedicating one
day of the exposition TO Joaquin Miller.
He gave the state of Oregon it's sobri-
quet, The Emerald Land from which
it has come TO be known as The Emer-
aid State and his fame is closely con-
nected with Oregon, where his career
began. He is a native of Indiana, and
was taken to Oregon by his parents.
