Howard, treasurer Associated Char ities, with Ladd & Tllton. or to The Oregonian. Contributions from citizens of Port land already are coming in to the Christmas relief fund, which is being raised by the Associated Charities for the, purpose not only of Klvlng Christ inas cheer to families of the poor on Christmas day. but for the purpose of carrying on "follow-up work." so that the benefits from the generous dona tions may be the more effective for cood long; aftr the heyday of the holi day season has subsided. V. It. Manning1, secretary of the Asso ciated Charities, reported yesterday that contributions amounted to Jl-S. and on the late mails last night It is probable that many more contributions came In. The fund raised last year reached a total of neaiaTy $-'000 and car ried aid to more than 150 families. Do, nations consisted, besides cah. of clothing, groceries and other neces saries, which were distributed by the Associated Charities among the people who through adverse circumstances have become Its wards. Many of the contributors who have lee heard from already are those who Helped make up the relief fund last year and who are renewing or increas ing their contributions this year. One tlonation of $100 was received yester day from a Portland woman, whose name was withheld, but who has long een active in charitable work In the city. The Associated Charities has system atized its methods so that the adminis tration of the relief fund can be done with erreat effectiveness and little cost for office expenses. The expenses, how ever, do not come from the relief fund Itself, but are counted In as a portion of the regular-operating expenses of the organization. The relief fund Is kept separate and devoted In Its en tirety to the purpose for which It Is raised, the relief during and after the Christmas season of the poor of the city. The Increasing interest of the public in the activity of the Associated Char ities was manifested last Summer In the donation of funds amounting to nearly $3000 for the "fresh air" move ment, and it lsredirtcd that the total which will be obtained In the Christ mas relief work will reach even higher figures. Not only does the Associated Chari ties care for general cases of need, but many persons who desire to do per sonal work among the poor in the holi day season are directed to families to which tbey may be of assistance through the sjffices of the Charities. SHOP FOR BLIND IS READY Mayor Albee to Have City Institution Opened This Week. Portland's first school for the blind will be opened in the municipal shops building sometime during the week, with C S. Mullln. cx-superintendent of the State School for Blind at Van couver. Wash.. In charge as superin tendent. He Is doing the work gratis Just to help along what he considers a good thing. When Mayor Albee first . made public his wish that such an In stitution be started. Mr. Mullin volun teered to assist him. There Is a fund of more than $600 on hand for the first work, but Mayor Albee said yesterday that he needs more to finance the school and keep It eroing until such time as It becomes self-supporting. He wants to, make It large enough so that all who care to may have work there. Several lines of work will be followed when the shop is In full swing and one feature will be the making of scrub brushes from the wornout brushes of the street cleaning bureau. The Portland Press Club has been aiding In the campaign to raise the fund. To put the shop on a strong basis at least $1600 la needed. - :, - W . . . t ...v-'H-v,- - - W" v " ' 't .; Vv .... .,,( ; Yf. ' J " ' ' 3-t I :7- it.!.

"The tuberculosis it Is terrible, the scourge of humanity. To help ngnt it is the greatest cause Jn the world. Wherever I go I visit hospitals and sanitorla and open-air schools for children. At Salem Saturday I took time from my beauty sleep and sold Red Cross seals in a bank. I sold ISO worth in an hour, and tell the people or Portland they must buy more than that, for this is so much bigger a city. "I will dress let me see oh, yes. I will dress very Farlslenne, Everybody must come to see me and buy the seals." Miss Held was" very much excited over the prospect of selling the seals. Two extra telephone operators had to be put on the switchboard at the hotel yesterday to answer the inquiries as to the hour when she would sell stamps Friends of the Visiting Nurse Asso ciation, under whose auspices the sale la held, have been calling up other friends all over the city and a grand rush Is expected at the noon hour.

Bretreter's Detailed Statement of Pnrposes of Park Department 'Declared to Remove Valid Objections to Loan. Mayor Albee yesterday made a strong plea to the public for the adoption of the various issues to be voted on to morrow at the special election, saying that the amendments submitted are the necessities of the present situation, as setn by the members of the City Council, and not fads or fancies put up fur any special interest. He earnest ly asked for support for the measures and mentioned especially the park bonds and the honis for starting- a chain of markets. "When some one asked City Auditor Barbur at the luncheon of the Civic League Saturday If a voter should de cide against a measure because of dis like for a Commissioner. Mr. Barbur made an excellent answer by saying that likes and dislikes should not en ter Into it," said Mayor Albee. "I heartily concur in this: the people are not voting on the popularity of the Council or against It. but for or against the issues submitted by the Council. All of the amendments ought to re ceive the earnest care and considera tion of each voter on the merits of each amendment, regardless of the voter's attitude toward the Commis sion or any member of the Comrais slon. Park Boada Fully Kxplalaed. "The Commission has submitted the amendments because we felt they were necessary to the welfare of the people. A great deal has been said concerning the proposed issue of $200,000 of park bunds. Personally I think they arc exceedingly important and sincerely hope they will carry. Commissione Brewster, who has supervision of the parks and playgrounds, deserves grea creult for his detailed published state u-.ent as to Just how this money will be expended, in case the bonds are voted. When the proposed'Issue of 2.000.000 parks, bonds was before the vottrs only a few months Hgo no such statement was Issued and at tha time H was declared by many that, un less they knew how the money was to be expended, they would not vote for the bonds, and they were defeated iargly on this basis, it is said. I sin cerely hope these bonds will carry. "I have heard It said that some be lieve the city should buy more park property Instead of using all of the proposed Issue for Improvement!", and, In regard to that. I will say that every member of the Commission wants more parks and will be glad to buy property for this purpose whenever the people vote bonos for that purpose. Now however. It Is felt by us that It Is ab solutely necessary to put the Improve ments detailed by Commissioner Brew ste,r in the parks' we already have." Public Market Defends ea Beads. Speaking of the proposed Issue of $25,000 bonds for public markets, the Mayor said: "I wish to call special attention to the fact that, unless these bonds are voted, there Is no chance for Portland to have any public market, at least for another year. There Is no fund otherwise provided and there will b no election meanwhllo that I know ot now; in fact, if there were to be. I see no Justification for placing such an is sue again before the voters should they defeat the bonds tomorrow. Personally I am exceedingly desirous that market bonds shall carry and I believe they wlil. for I think the people want the markets. "If the bonds do carry, the Commis sion will lose no time in disposing of them at the earliest possible moment and we will proceed to establish the first market Just as soon as Is possible. At the present time my own idea Is that the first one would be established on the market block site at Third and Market streets, owned by the city. An other could be put under way at some point on the East Side with the re malnder of the money. It Is the pur pose) to eventually have a chain of three or four markets." about lodges formed 1500 years ago In Europe; N.

The two bird, which are of a com mon variety, were picked up with oth ers more than a week ago by the police when they arrested a chicken thief; others were identified by own ers and were returned, but these two have never been claimed. Nothing may be disposed of by the Poundmastcr unless advertised accord ing to the ordinance, hence he is "hold ing" the chickens, as the'y are not worth enough to pay for what it would cost to advertise them. What to do with them Is the ques tion, but it Is probable that unless the rightful owner calls for them by Christmas. Mayor Albee will see that they go to some worthy family for a holiday treat. Meanwhile. tV.e Poundmaster Is fat tening them for whatever Is to occur. CHANGING LINE IS OFFERED Milwaukle Street People Object to More Cars in Thoroughfare.

"A better flower show next year and co-operation In nest year's Rose Festi val were the Mofrang for tile guidance of the Portland Floral Society, as ex pressed by all of the speakers at the annual banquet of the society in the Masonic TemfHe Saturday nlfrht. J'ark Superintendent Mlsrhe spoke strongly against the spirit of dlncour- grrnent expressed by many of the mem bers on account of the poor attendance at the flower show this Fall. He said 111 III I t8S7 as" 1913 " j B The- QjiALrnr Stoe- op Portland f that the society had every reason to congratulate Itself and that It should make the most of Its opportunities to Increase Its activities this year. He thought It might be a good Idea to emulate to a certain extent the activi ties of Boston and Philadelphia, where there are monthly shows. J. H. Bacher advocated frlvlng at least three shows a year, a Spring;, s Summer and a Fall show. H deplored the fact that so many men would pay 2 or $3 to see a boxing match, yet they begrudged 50 cents for a flower show. He thought it mlsht be a cool thing to charge no admission to t!v; flower shows until the people were better educated in floriculture. Janifi Forbes expressed himself strongly against ri-uucinff the dues from 50 cents to 23 cents a month, and on his motion no reduction was mad.
