by Captain ieorse C Thomas, Jr.,

The book devotes more space to
rose growing in Portland than to any
ot her city in the country and, in
speaking of this, President ii- J.
Blaesing; of the Portland Kose society
say:
"We are Fhowtnp the world ttt
Portland is the rose- center and thii
year's annual substantiates our
claims. It is now necessary for Port
land to maintain its position by hav
ing1 the largest rose society in the
world. The annual dues are only $2.
which includes an affiliated member
ship in the American Rose society and
entitles each member to the publica
tions of this great national organization."

MME. AMELITA GALLI-CURCI.
the gritted coloratura soprano,
the sensation of the ' hour in
International operatic circles, who
will be heard at the Heilig on May
12 under direction of Steers & Coman,
has sung- with most of the great, ar
tists of this generation in Europe and
in South America.
'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." Herman Devries of
Chicago says: "It is but a matter of
time when she will be worshiped by
the whole civilized world."

New Kelso Mil Ho Start Monday.
KELSO, Wash.. April 24. (Special.)
The Thompson-Ford Lumber com-.
pany's big new sawmill on the west
side will cut its first lumber Monday.
Completion of the mill has been de
layed by the railway strike, which
prevented delivery of machinery and
supplies. Much equipment has been
shipped by express the past two
weeks to hasten completion. The mill
will cut approximately 100,000 feet of
lumber per day, and is one of the
most modern plants In the state. J.
W. Thompson and J. R. Ford are the

Stewart was released on $1000 bonds
yesterday following his arrest by fed

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. One of the full

Washington Internal Revenue Col
lector Will Lead Opposition at
Convention May 1.
TACOMA. 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.
