Oregon Poet to Be
In Ashland May 9
Edwin Markham, one o( the fore
most of leading English poets, re
turning to his home state, Oregon,
for a visit from May 7 to 17 will stop
at Ashland May 9 under. the auspices
o the Southern Oregon Chautauqua
Association. John H. Fuller, pres

made for the day's program during
' the poet's visit to this city.
Edwin Markbam Is now completing
a tour of the Pacific coast cities. In
'California from Los Angeles to San
Francisco the poet was much feted.
Wherever he gave readings th

says: "Edwin Markham Is botlf Itti)ll5

Ex-Vice President Marshall said:'
"We who are standing here will pass
Into oblivion . . , but the name
of Edwin Markham will echo down
the centuries." John Burns of the
British cabinet regarded Eilwln
