TOE MORNING OliEGONlAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1919. PORTLAND BLOSSOMS FEATURED BYTAGOMA Contender for Test Garden Comes Here for Rose. SOUND CITY IS EXPOSED J. A. Currey Tells of Selection ol Perfect Lyons Rose for Ad vertising Purposes. When Tacoma wanted to snap the picture of Its own emblematic rose, for the greater glorification of the "city of destiny," its rose society sent to a Portland garden for the fair flower that posed for the portrait of the perfect rose. Portland engravers prepared the half-tone. The Portland postoffice stamped the parcel. And a Portland rose, lent for the occasion, went forth to herald the pretensions of Tacoma. Alas, Tacoma! By the sounding sound! Alas, the calm clam flats and the odorous fragrance of the fishing skiffs! What are these beside the fact, the most insurmountable fact, that Tacoma sought her own rose in her own gardens, and found it not. A f loricultural Mother Hubbard, lean and lachrymose by the dimpling waves of Puget! So much for the prelude, as J. A. Currey says, anent Tacoma's latest boomerang to wing the coveted prize of a national rose test garden, when the original claim already has been decided in favor of Portland. Carrey Has "Dope." "Here's the dope it's straight!" puffed Mr. Currey, western represen tative of the American Rose society. "Tacoma, beaten in an open field b5 Portland, has filed a separate claim for recognition as the site for a rose test garden, alleging that Tacoma represents a distinct and individual climatic zone. John A. Hays, clerk of the metropolitan park board ot Tacoma, is now in the east lobbying for the absurdity that Is the folorn hope of the Puget sound city. "You see, the department of agri culture determines the locations of the zones, with one test garden al lotted to each. Portland already has received official recognition, by rec ommendation of the American Rose society, though Tacoma was a pre tender for the honor. The fact that this city already had started work on the garden, and that it is known fat and near as a city where roses are a religion, cinched the choice for this town. Now Tacoma is attempting to create a separate climatic zone, with itself featured as the rose capita thereof. "Here Is a story that illuminates Tacoma's case. With pomp and cere mony some years ago the Tacoma Rose society adopted the Lyons rose as its emblem. The time came when they wanted a photograph, for maga zine and circular illustrating, of this same rose a showy flower that does not do very well. They searched through their own gardens and did not find a specimen fit to pose. All were inferior, small or defective. And they sent down here to Portland, to the rose garden of Fred V. Holman, for the photograph of a perfect speci men of the Lyons. The picture was taken and the engraving made by a Portland engraving house. Chamber Appealed To. "When grapevine tidings came of Ta coma's tactical treachery, the Port land Rose society was agog, to phrase it mildly. J. A. Currey caught up his falchion a bow-ribbed umbrella and sounded the alarm. A delegation of enthusiasts rallied to the call and bore down on the Chamber of Commerce, where they petitioned Secretary Dod son to block the Tacoman attempt to designate a special brand of climate as proof for the establishment of a national test garden. Secretary Dodson bridled also sad dled and stirruped. He vowed by the Portland rose that perfidy should be confounded. And he set his merry men to work without delay. They are compiling statistics to show that the Portland and Tacoma brands of weather do not differ materially, al though the Chinook is the better fish of the two. They are gathering data to orove that Portland grows the pre mier roses of the world, and that no home is happy without 'em. In brief, the design is to knock Tacoma s con tentions into a cocked hat and utter oblivion, which is a long way off. Also, Secretary Dodson sent a mes saire to Senator McNary, at Washing ton, bidding him carry the war to the deDartment of agriculture, and, if he sees Tacoma's trifling claim to fame wobbling about the corridors, to slay it forthwith and send its pelt to the tannerv. The American Rose society is to meet within two weeks. When it con venes the case will be laid before its august members, pro and con with the latter argument largely featured by Tacoma. THE news has just come of the marriage of Mrs. Julia Candler Swift of Washington, D. C., and King Tyler of Portland and formerly of Virginia. It was a smart social event in Baltimore recently. The marriage took place at St. Nicholas' and all Angels' church and was sol emnized by the Rev. Alfred Mac Namara, the brother-in-law of Mr. Tyler.

Cottrell of Seattle, secretary of the recently formed triple alliance of the stat grange, the State Federation of La bor and the unions of Railway worn ers, the relief committee of the Ta coma Metal Trades council today pre pared to send an appeal to members of the grange throughout the state for food for striking shipbuilders here Mr. Cottrell sanctioned the plan, which will be a test of the strength of the triple alliance, which was formed for political purposes at the time of the last state labor convention in Bellingham. The appeal, it was said by labor leaders here today, will call upon farmers to ship food to the Ta coma strikers free of all cost. Various local granges, it is said, have repudiated the triple alliance, which purports to represent all farm ers, railway men and union workmen in the state.
