It Is astonishing, considering how short a time the stamps have been here, the widespread Interest which the campaign has aroused. The tel ephone. at Visiting Nurse headquar- , ters in the Medical building requires constant . attention. From Hood River, from Mllwaukie, from Penln Bula, come urgent requests for stamps. "Send us some stamps, we'll sell them," is the cry from all parts. .

Several .property owners on Portland Heights are registering a 1 protest against tho widening of the proposed boulevard to 200 feet between West Park street and the head of Eighteenth, while further the big roadway is nar rowed to 45 feet. Some of the smaller, land owners think this is a discrimina tion aealnst them. In an open letter to Ion Lewis, of the park board, Thomas L. Garland, who owns a half block at Fourteenth and Collins streets, says the boulevard as at present planned will practically take away all his property. He values the land at not less than $4000 a lot. "but he says that if the property Is con demned he will only get a tithe of this sum. as it is assessed far below its value to him. Valuation Wot Enough. "I came here from New York City 10 years ago," said Mr. Garland last night l'and I at once saw that land on Portland-Heights would one day be much more valuable than it was then. I bought five lots and have worked hard ever since to Improve the land and make it more desirable for residence pur poses. As the assessor does not ' con sider, the value of the view in making out the tax roll, the ground Is rated at a small valuation, arid, of course, the city would not be willing to pay what I think it is worth. . , v. , "Now, if the boulevard is run at this point, so it will not take in my prop erty, I am ready' anil willing to pay a liberal benefit assessment This could be done, and then the drive would be more than 100 feet wide. I think tho city could get this stretch of property for -very little if the width was les sened, as property owners would all be flad to pay assessments of perhaps 1000 a lot. . Will riffht to the Last. "I do not want the park ' board to think I am trying to prevent the boule vard from going through. The fact is, I think it Is a good thing, but I do not want my 10 years' work to go for noth ing by being forced to sell out for a mere song. I think I am entitled to as much consideration as some of the wealthier land owners along the route of the boulevard, where it has been cut down to a width of 45 feet to avoid the necessity of paying for property that is assessed so high that the lots would cost $4000 or $S000 apiece. "Before I will submit to having my lots taken from me -at their assessed valuation. I will fight the city through the courts, and will tie up proceedings for several years. If I cannot protect myself any othpr way. I will Invoke the referendum. DR. BROUGHEIi AT . THE Y. 31. C. A. TODAY For the next three Sundays the Y. M. C. A. men's meeting in the after noon will be addressed by pr. J. Whitcomb Brougher. His general sub ject will be "Big Fights."

This series is one of the strongest series of talks for young men that Dr. Brougher has ever given and. while they are full of wit and humor, they also offer a solution- to the man who is fighting these fishts. Besides the address each afternoon there will be stereopticon pictures and special music. This afternoon Just before the ad dress, Mrs. Olga Bartsch Lang will sing a special solo, and a number .of Alaska views taken by Mr. Grilley, the physical director of the Y. M. C.
