The first consignment of Christ

paign against tuberculoSU has all
been placed and a second lot of
.100,000 Js due to arrive tomorrow
This is the cheering news which has
made glad the workers in thia cause.
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.
. And how deeply Interested are th
sufferers from (this distressing; malady
themselves. : The patients - whom the
nurses- ia their-round are attending- ask
with s great eagerness, . ""How - Is the

So., want It, to succeed for- the other

exclamation of a young man" whoso
Trail life is dally ebbing:.
Know What Care Means.'
-They" know, these who have fought
a losing '.battle with the grim . f larure
who walks beside them, measuring- their
heart beats. They know what It- means
to ine sick who are aoie to nave an
the little attentions, the carefully' pre
pared nourishing- -diet, the air and sun
shine and clean surroundings. For them
the struggle is hard enough. How much
worse, then.- for the .sick who are also
poor, for whom there nre none. of these
necessary comforts, J ho are powerless
fo help themselves, 'and, even unable
to protect those whoi tliey love from

BOULEVARD VJILL
WIPE HIM OUT
T. L, Garland Kicks Against
Proposed Width of Port
land Heights Boulevard.
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 .
