'l.c critics of the old world, as well as those of the new, have been un erasing in 'their vocabulary to de scribe her art. No greater tribute can be- mentioned as -proof of her sir.Entf than that of 'the late Italian critic, Carrugati, who said, after hear ing Galli-Curci: "She is the messenger of the goddess of song." Saint-Aubain, the Frenchman, said: "There were others, but there is only one Galll-Curci." Professor Joaquin Fesser of Madrid wrote: "Last night I heard one of the greatest coloratura sopranos ever heard In this country Galli-Curci, a star of stars."

That Portland is the "Rose City" is evident from the great amount of space which is devoted to this city In the 1920 Rose Annual of the Amer ican Rose society, which is now be ing distributed. The book contains more than 200 pages and is hand somely illustrated in colors. It is only available to the members of the Portland Rose society, who are affil iated with the American Rose soci ety. It is the most important rose volume of the year and cannot be purchased, but is given free to the members of the society. One article of interest to Portland ers is a compilation of extract's from letters to the editor, J. Horace Mr-, Farland, regarding rose culture in Portland. In this article Mr. McFar land says: "Favored by a climate unexcelled for rose culture, with soils varying from sandy loam to hard clay over gravel, and with a range of elevations from practically sea level to an altitude of 1200 feet, Port land, Oregon, offers its citizens un usual opportunities for rose culture. To such an extent have they taken advantage of these gifts of nature that they have earned for Portland Its title, the Rose City. Hlatory of Society Hrvlrnrd. The article also reviews the history o'f the Portland Rose society for the past 30 years, the annual rose show and the Rose a Festival, the activities of the park bureau in promoting rose culture, the -new test gardens, the. big rose garden at Peninsula park and the work rff the Royal Rosarians. Special attention is devoted to the rose hedges which line Portland streets and, referring to- the new plan of financing the Rose Festival, special tribute is paid to the proKiess of the city in putting this event on a tax basis and the fact is pointed out that Portland is the only city in the world which is progressive enough to pay for its big annual advertising event from public funds. In closing the ar ticle says: "To sum up: Rose culture has been the forerunner of democracy in Port land. The butcher, the baker, the lawyer and the banker all grow roses and exhibit them side by side. Only last year, for instance, one of the highest prizes for the best rose ex hlbited was captured by a cobbler's son and the other by the wife of retired capitalist. The Portland Rose society has been the ruling factor in the promotion of this rose-growing, democratic atmosphere. . Rone Growing; Klncldated. The book also contains two articles on rose growing by Jesse A. Currcy of Portland and a review of the new International Rose Test garden in Washington park, with a complete score of all the roses There are also four or five other shoxt articles deal ing with various, phases of rose cul ture In Portland.

Wash.. April :t. (Spe cial.) When the Pierce county demo cratic convention i& called to order May 1 the principal business will be the move to oust A. R. Titlow as na tional committeeman, it wa reported in democratic circles yesterday. The fight on Mr. Titlow will be led by David J. Williams, collector of in ternal revenue, assisted by Roscoe Drumheller, collector of customs, of Seattle, it was asserted. It is pointed out that more than a political dis like for Mr. Titlow actuated the op position to him. There is a personal difference between Mr. Titlow and Mr. Williams, say those who claim to know the inner workings of the dem ocratic party in Washington. A few weeks ago, closely following the robbery of the Seattle office of the revenue department of $20,000. Col lector Williams was summoned to Washington, I. C. where he faced an investigation. There was considerable publicity in connection with the probe, but Mr. Williams emerged with a clean slate. He telegraphed his chief assistant here, who gave out a state ment that the attack on Mr. Williams was purely political and that he had been praised highly for the efficiency displayed in his office. IT whs considered by Mr. Williams that the fact that he had been sum moned to Washington to explain and that Mr. Titlow was in Washington at the same time was more than a co incidence. It is said that Mr. Williams asserts that Mr. Titlow was the prime mover in his summons "on the car pet." On the other hand, friends of Committeeman Titlow asserted that he had nothing to do with the investiga tion of Mr. Williams and that because Mr. Titlow happened to be in Wash ington, at the same time trllector Williams was there, does ait prove that Mr. Titlow had anything to do with the inquiry. Just who. if Mr. Williams is suc cessful, will be the next national com mitteeman is the subject of specula tion. W. R. Rust, prominent in the democratic party, but now in Europe on a trip, is the most likely man for the job, but it is not known w-hether he would accept. It was said he was offered the position when Hugh C. Wallace, former national committee man from this state, resigned to ac cept the post of ambassador to France.
