"When the business men awaken and

to take active and serious Interest in

Representatives and Senators in Con

The plans were announced yeeterday
by Thomas McCusker, La Follette's

"Expect to leave Nebraska after night

Thursday. Senator Bourne has out

Until the Itinerary, which has been

he does not know where Senator La

says, intimates that the speeches are
to be made in various parts of the state
and not In Portland alone The date
of his appearance in Portland Is not
known.
Mrs. La Follette will be entertained
by the Portland Woman's Club. Plans
are being made for a complimentary

MANY LIVES SAVED
Free Medical System for Poor
Proves Big Success.
350 TREATED EACH MONTH
Working People and Persons In Des
titute Circumstances Given Care
ful Attention and Nursed Back .
to Health at County Expense.
Under a system arranged by County
Commissioner Lightner for the benefit
of working people and persons In desti
tute circumstances, an average of over
350 persons are being given free medi
cal attention in Multnomah County
each month, according to a report made
yesterday to the County Court by Dr.
E. P. Geary, county physician.
For the month of March, it is shown
by the report 303 persons were given
medical or surgical attention In the
offices of Dr. Geary and Dr. H. R. Cliff;
47 visits were made to various parts
of the county to attend patients and
many calls were made to the County
Jail and Kelly Butte, The number of
cases treated during the month was
nearly 400, exclusive of the services
rendered at the County Hospital and
Multnomah Poor Farm.
It is declared by those who have In
vestigated Commissioner Lightner's
system that Multnomah County Is doing
more for the poor and unfortunate
than any other county in the state
and probably more than the majority, if
not all counties in other states. Mr.
Lightner asserts that this feature of the
county work is highly important to
the general wrelfare of the community
and for that reason he says he hopes
to extend the system even farther than
it has already gone.
System Gradually Grows.
The system was inaugurated several
years ago and has grown gradually to
its present importance. The plan is
to extend the help only to the deserv
ing. Before any medical service is
rendered an investigation is made as
to the ability of the patient to pay.
If the person Is without funds he is
given close attention and cared for
until he has completely recovered.
In the office of Dr. Geary there are
on an average 10 patients every day.
Some days the number is smaller than
that and some days much greater.
There have been as many as Z0 patients
In a single day. Dr. Geary and his as
sociate. Dr. II. R. Cliff, attend to all
the cases, dressing wounds, administer
ing medicines and giving other kinds
of treatment and medical attention. The
patients, after the diagnosis of their
cases and the first treatment, return
from time to time for further attention
and are treated the same as patrons of
regular physicians.
Many Outside Calls Made.
In addition to the cases treated at the
county physician's office, many calls are
made on the outside. Where a case
of sickness or Injury Is reported in the
home of a destitute or poor family, at
tention Is given at once and the patient
Is given every attention possible. There
Is an average of about two calls a day
to various parts of the county, princi
pally, however, in Portland. Some days
Dr. Geary makes as many as a half
dozen outside calls.
Much attention Is also required at
the County Jail and Kelly Butte. Mult
nomah Farm and County Hospital.
Resident physicians are kept at the
County Hospital and at Multnoman
Farm, but either Dr. Geary or Dr. Cliff
make several trips each week to these
Institutions to assist in the work.
yesterday seven patients were given
treatment at Kelly Butte alone. All
kinds of operations are performed at
the hospital and the poor farm, there
being fully equipped surgical rooms at
each institution and both Dr. Geary
and Dr. Cliff being expert surgeons.
Other physicians are called In for con
sultation or to perform operations
which require expert knowledge in cer
tain lines.
Experts Contribute Service.
No chances are taken with any pa
tient, no operation being maOe by any
physician, but one who is an expert in
his particular line. In this feature of
the work other physicians of the city
are doing a great deal of work free of
any cost to the county or the patients.
Among those who call for medical
attention at the county physician's of
fice in the Selling building are desti
tute women, crippled destitute work
ing men and children of poor families.
If Immediate attention is necessary,
treatment is given at once and investi
gation as to ability of the patient to
pay for medical services made after
wards. In other cases the Investigation
is made prior to the beginning of treat
ment. If a patient, after being treated,
is found to have money, he is notified
upon returning for a second treatment
to secure it from regular practitioners.
System 'Working Oat Welt.
"I am greatly Impressed with the
work of the county physician." said
Commissioner Lightner yesterday. "I
believe the charitable work necessary
and I do not think the system we have
leaves any room for persons to impose
upon the county.
"I personally investigate many
cases and have not yet found more than
one or two which were not deserving
of charity. With the growth of Port
land our work naturally gets heavier,
but it is a feature of the county busi
ness which cannot be neglected.
"Hundreds of lives are saved annually
and the general public Is protected by
our attending to the sick and helpless,
preventing the spread of disease or the
producing of paupers which naturally
would follow carelessness in the care
of poor people, who receive injuries
which require exacting care to pre
vent disablement."
