M. to 6 P. M. Every Business Day Saturday Included ANOTHER RAISE PROMISED S. F. Titos, at Imncheon, Makes Plea for. Portland to Push Con quest for Trade Territory of Alaska and Orient. Members of the Rotary Club stepped Into the game of "anteing to the Rose Festival fund" yesterday at their luncheon and declared their intention to outdo all other clubs in the city in their contributions. The fund had been raised to $65 in passing- from raise to raise, through the Ad Club, Progressive Business Men's Club and Realty Board. So the Rotary Club raised its ante to ?75. "And we can raise it again and again, if necessary," said Fred Spoeri, who made the motion, "and if the other clubs can't 'see' us they will have to get out of the game." Phil Bates read off a list of more than 50 business men who had contrib uted to the Festival fund last year, and as fast as he read them, members of the club volunteered to make a per sonal visit to them and ask them to donate again this year. They pledged to have the money in Mr. Bates' hands Saturday, so that the Rotary Club's share of the solicited funds can be placed in the hands of the Festival as sociation Monday morning before any other club in the city comes in. Speakers of the day were W. G. Mc pherson and N. F. Titus, manager of the Portland . Steamship Company. They talked on the steamship service to Alaska. "Heretofore Portland has been fight ing solely for the possession of the trade territory of the Inland Empire," said Mr. Titus. "Now she is facing out to the North and to the Orient more and more. "We have been pouring millions in to the improvement of our fiver and harbor here, but what will this avail us if we do not use them to the very best of our ability when we have them Improved? "Our beginning in this line is made on a substaintial basis. In Southeast ern Alaska there are 67 canneries, more than half of which are controlled by Portland capital. From them alone we secured better than 20,000 tons as a start for our shipping service. Our three ships are booked full for April, May and June. "The rates and service equal those at Seattle. "If our line can get one-eighth of the lumber trade that now comes to the Sound from Southeastern Alaska alone, the venture cannot fail, even in the face of the most strenuous competi tion." Votes of thanks and pledges of sup port were given Mr. Titus and Mr. McPherson. THEATER COMPANY FORMED National Amusement Concern Will Operate New Movie House.

Wherever, whenever and however popular music is known, the composer who must be accorded universal laurels Is Giuseppe Verdi, born near Parma, Italy. His true name was Francesco Fortuno. He received his musical edu cation from the chapel master of the cathedral for whom he composed marches at an early age. His first opera was presented at the La Scala, Milan, in 1838 and a f'V years later on the pronounced success of "Ernanl" made him one of the popular operatic com posers of the day. The arias from 'II Trovatore" were sung and whistled upon the streets whenever opportunity offerel and were rendered wherever and however one might desire music, whether In opera, symphony, oratorio, concert or street handorgan. He com posed the popular melody, "Ah! I Have Signed to Rest Me," and others that will never be forgotten as long as fair Italian skies remain. But when he wrote "Aida" and his later operas he proved that he was In fact a master of modern music, equal to the radical changes in opera construction and or chestration. In every collection of songs touching the heart a number of the arias from Verdi's operas will al ways appear. He died at Milan In 1901 at a mature age. The musical career of Verdi Is one 'of the notable chapters in the history of music of all time. Several of Verdi's most famous oper atic airs appear in "Heart Songs." This unique volume contains a treasury of songs for a half century past. We commend It to our readers as the one collection of songs of the past century which they oannot do without, and call attention to our coupon printed else where in today's paper. Adv.
