Has Bought an Oregon Home- Miller Will Spend His Sum mers on Ranch Near Siue- law and Winters California.. - in Portland, July 28. Portland Oregonian: Attired in the same style of drees that has accompanied his fame throughout the country, and with his fatherly manners that have made him a favorite with eve ry one, Joaquin Millerj? the venerable poet and prose writer of Oregon and California: arrived in Portland last evening en route to the East, where be will publish his latest book, "For Love Is All; in All. Love." Mr. Miller is staving at the Im perial hotel. some time ago the poet purchas ed a tract of land near Siuslaw, where in the future, he intends to make his residence and build anoth er house which he can call home. "I will spend my summers on my Oregon Farm," he said laet night, ehortly after his arrival, "and my winters at my place in California near Fruitvale. My latest purchase is a beautiful place, and ha? enchanting surroundings. I shall spend my days fishing and hunting and riding over the moun tains which lead to tha sea beyond." ' : Mr. Miller eays he is feeling bet ter than he ever did in his life, in spite of bis 64 years. ' "I feel so good at times,' 'hc con tinued, "that I am tempted to fight the first big, strapping fellow I meet, just to amuse the crowd, and myselt as well." "I love to look back to tbe dajs of old, during the 60V, when I was a county judge in Eastern Oregon by dayiight and foupht Indians at night," he declared. "T.mes were different in those days. We did not have the modern implements of war, nor the libraries to study law that the present age has produced About all I possessed then was an old law bjok and two six-shooters. That was down near Canyon City." Speaking of the early days re minded Mr. Miller that his two firet books, "Specimens" and"Joaquin," were published in Portland by Geo. Himes, now secretary of tbe His torical Society. This is Mr: Millers first visit to Portland since last year, when he was the guest of the Exposition on Miller day." "Think of it!" he exclaimed, "there was cne day that was truly mine. And howlappre cia'ed it. And how I look back acd think about the great honor bestowed upon me by the citizens of Portland and Oregon. How a man' loves to be loved. D you re member what Browning says: 'and a man isn't loved every day.' Eve ry time I recall my day at the Fair it brings to my mind Browning s qUGtatio". And I think of the lc casitn often. It was a great honor and 1 shall never forget it." As' Mr. Miller talks his great mind aot?, and now and then he will bring out something amusing, followed almost instantly with pa thos. ' He always refers to himself in the lighter vein. He likes to talk about bis homee, his writings, his talks with others and how he passes tbe time away. I have wiitten tio much al ready," he said, wben questioned about whether he bad undereaken any new books. Then he related how he writes, how he has written and how he will always write, am methodical in my writings. can t nelp but write," tne gray- haired white-whiskered poet said "I am an early riser and invariably do my work in the morning. J never write with my clothes on Tne work is done just as 1 arise from my bed. I take my coffee first and follow it with a cigar. Ihen sit down for an hour or so, or just as I feel like it. Some days I will write something every morning for a week. Then, perhaps, the notion will leave me and I will not touch the pen for a day or two or contin ue to write every other day and so on. Mr. Miller still uses the old-style quill pen. The plates of all of Joaquin Mil ler's works, with the exception of "Memories in Rhyme," were de- stroyed in the San Francisco fire They were all in readiness to go on the press, and, were " a total lossi The book which was to have contain ed all of theauthor's writings would have covered six hundred pages. , -. Mr. Miller wbb asked which home he considered the best tbe one in Oregon or the other near Fruitvale, in Redwtoi Canyon. Tears came to tbe old man's eyes as he thought a moment. . -"My other home," be said, mean-i ing the one in California, ''has nev er seemed the same since mother died. I can never tbir k of it with out thinking of her. I wrote many of my bett woiks there, but after the death 'of my mother . it just seemed that I ju t couldn't, stay there any longer. I came up to Or egon, purchased some land, -and shall spend the summers there lor the rest of my life." Mr. Miller will remain here until today or tomorrow, when he leaves' for New York and Boston on busi ness in connection with publica tion of his new book. He consid ers "For .Love is All In All, Love," one of his best works. The "City Beautiful," though, he still regards as his masterpiece. New York, July 25. Some of Harry Thaw's lawyers have mao it known that he will positively to trial for killing Stanford White. and that there will be no proceed ings in the criminal courts looking to an examination into his mental condition. Furthermore, it was said that the trial would begin on October I5. Tbe prosecution has assured . Thaw's lawyers that the district attorney will certainly not apply for a commission to examine Thaw, and that should an informal request be made by representatives of his mother fer Bucb action, it will not be acceded to. Thaw's pres ent lawyers were hired to stave off insanity proceedings and to get a trial for their client. From the fact that the firm re tained bv Thaw's mother is stiL working on tbe case and is gather ing evidence to show that Thaw is insane, there has been a lot of spec ulation as to what move is to be made by them. With the announce ment yesterday that they would have no standing in criminal pro ceedings as counsel for Mrs. Wil liam Thaw, there came a report that application would be made shortly to the civil courts for the appointment of a lunacy commis sion. While Mrs. William lnaw would not be recognized in any ciinoinal proceedings of this kind, and ou such an application, backed up by affidavits of experts declar ing Thaw insane, a supreme court judge nrght order Thaw's trial be fore such a commission. The situ ation will be an entirely covel one, no such application ever having been made before in the supreme court, in the case of a person-who was facing trial on a criminal charge. Washington, Pa., July 2I. Phil ip Kodney, ot Lentreville, this county,, a prominent business man, discovered recently that bis wife had been taking spending money out of his trousers pockets while he slept.
