PORTLAND, Dec. 13. After lock
ing herself, her baby daughter and
4-year-old son In the kitchen, Mrs.
George Feles, 472 Sumner street
turned on the gas In a gaa stove
last night, and when discovered by
the father a short time later both
children were dead and the mother
was believed to be dying. Neigh
bors told the police that Mrs. Feles
had been mentally unbiflanced since
the birth of the infant daughter a
year ago.
The mother was lying on a cot
unconscious when her husband, a
waiter at the Multnomah hotel, re
turned home from work about 9:30
o'clock, and the two children wrc
stretched out by the side of the
stove, both dead. Desperate efforts
to resuscitate the son, James, were
made by emergency hospital physi
cians. Finding the door locked the falh
er broke It down after noticing the
odor of gas escaping from the kit
chen. He immediately called neluh
hors who notified the emergency
hospital.

constitute a cause for action.
This case has attracted consid
erable attention being a suit brought
by the city council at the request
of numerous residents of the north
part of town who allege that the
gas company In the manufacture of
gas fnr fuel and lighting purposes
allows great quantities of smoke
and gas to escape, causing a verv
disagreeable odor nd damaging the

ASTORIA, Ore., Dec. 12. There
was music in the air in Astoria today.
It was neither classical nor jazz.
It was the sweeter music created by
hammers and saws and crow-bars.
The ruined area, for four days a
place forbidden, was reopened to
workmen, property owners and
merchants. The work of reconstruc
tion was started.
City officials laid plans for the re
opening of Commercial street, the
principal artery of traffic from east
to west. The Y. M. C. A. conducted
a free employment bureau and brought
the Jobless into contact with the man
who wanted to rebuild. In that dis
trict along Grand and Astor streets
carpenters were tearing out the fronts
of the old buildings and preparing the
Interiors of the ramshackle structures
for occupancy by business houses.
Along the edges of the burned area
mushroom structures commenced to
appear, knockdown houses and gar
ages which will be the temporary
homes of r tores until such time as
the newer and greater Astoria Is built.
Commercial salesmen are filling the
town. The representatives of the Job
bers, the wholesalers and' the manu
facturers of building supplies, the
dealers who handle building material
are descending on Astoria In force.
Astoria wants supplies and is ordering
In large quantities.
Bustle, Excitement In Air.
For two days after the fire the citi
zens of this city did little else than
gather in groups on the edge of the
burned area and gaze mournfully at
the ruins of their city. Today they
are changed. There is bustle and ex
citement in the air, busy men hurry
ing about, officials and committees
functioning perfectly, jobless men go
ing back to work and a general attack
made on the debris and wreckage
which still litters some streets.
The opening of the safes In the
buildings destroyed by the fire was an
important event to manv Astoria busi
ness men. It meant disappointment
for a number. Of the 25 safes onened
todav under the supervision of the
naval guards, the contents of the ma
loritv were found to be only ashes.
The he;it had been so Intense that all
papers and currency had been de
stroyed. As a result of this havoc wrought
by the heat, a new problem faces the
merchants of the city. Manv have
thousands of dollars In outstanding
accounts, but not so much as a stso
nf naner to show the names of their
debtors. It wes pointed out that the
commercial rehabilitation of the ci'v
will depend to a great extent on the
honesty of the townspeople.

"Pull-1!"
"Lost blr-r-r-d!"
These words, punctuated with the
pop-pop of divers and sundry shot
guns ranging from the latest in auto
matics to the weirdest of blunder
busses, will be the order of the day
next Sunday when the Roscburc Hod
ana uun viuo noins lis tirst com
petitive turkey shoot at its field on
the Jnhn Marks place on the Ilrowns
Hrldge road next Sunday.
' The Club Is preparing Jor a Teal,
old-time event, with all the frills and
furbelows that have made this sport
one of the best liked In America. Hlg
RUI Broadway, field captain, will be
in charge of the field, and has a line
of events that will suit every taste,
however bizarre. There will be
straight, free-for-all trap events,
when the bird goes to the man who
breaks the most; and thorn will be
handicap events which will give the
poorest shooter an equal chance with i
the best. And there will be birds
as long as there are contestants to
shoot. "The sky's the limit," says'
Bill.
The day will open at ten o'clock in I
the morning with an hour's warming
up snooting in ten ana nitnen tl ret
events open to evnrybody, whether
member or not. From eleven to
twelve will he staged ten bird con
tests for turk'evs. squad formation,
iust like our fathers and grandfathers
have shot in since the turkey was In
vented by the Pilgrims or was It
discovered?
Afternoon the shoot will continue
with one star event for the "chnm
peeft" turk oftDouglas County, the
biggest and juciest and altogether
the most luscious fowl that ever
flopped a wing. Every shooter In the
County Is pxpeited to have a whirl
for this bird.
At various times throughout the
dav will lie stneori sneclfll events fnr
the amateurs who are just learning I
which end of the gun to point at the!
tran. Everyone who enters the lists I
will have a chance to eat Christmas I
turkey on the (Tub.
A committee nf the Club will be on (
the job at all times to see that no
accidents happen: guns are to bei
carefully handled under the direction
of this committee, and anyone found
with a loaded gun outside the firing
line will be fined si. 00 for the first
offense and be refused the field for
further offending.
Sandwiches and coffee will be
sfrved at the field from 11 '30 to
2, handled bv Mrs. John Marks.
The Cub has made prenaratlons
for handling a large crowd nnd ex
tends an invitation to the public at
large to be present and enter the con
tests or watch the sport.

day visiting with relatives.
A special and urgent meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce directors
will be held this evening lit 7:30 at
the office. The meeting Is being
called by President .1. V. Hamilton
for the purpose of considering tho
plea of Astoria for the support of the
liosehurg Chamber in securing gov
ernment aid necessary to rebuild the
burned city.
Astoria is on the verge of bank
ruptcy. Its property owners have
been paying iarge si'.ms in develop
ment work and now with the tre
mendous losses which have been sus
tained the city Is at a loss as to how
to proceed. Fully three million dol
lars will be necessary to fill in so
that it will be possible to rebuild.
Formerly the streets, buildings, etc.,
were constructed on pilings, but in
rebuilding the level of tho ground
will be rained by dredging so that
there will be no possibility of future
disasters of this nature. '
Astoria has appealed to the gov
ernment for aid nnd Is now urging
the other cities of .the slate, to act
in cooperation and adil lhi!r plans
to that of tho citizens committee of
Astoria and secure If possible some
relief from the government.
"Tho flro situation at Astoria, re
sulting from the devastating fire last
Friday, which totnlly destroyed the
entire business part of the city, Its
streets, and water, sewer and fire
system. Is such that we have deemed
It necessary to appeal to the presi
dent and to Congress for Immediate
aid." the mayor and citizens' com
mittee says in a telegram receiver1,
bv the local Chamber ot Commuco
this morning.
"We have forwarded to Congress
the following message," they say.
"On Friday morning, last, the en
tire business part of this city was
totally destroyed by the most de
vastating fire in the history of tho
Pacific Coast. Streets, water system,
sewer system nnd fire system In the
entire devastated district are totally
destroyed. Over five thousand citi
zens have suffered the loss of their
entire property and are without em-
nloyment or means of subslstance. I
Business Is paralyzed and the city Is I
wholly without adequate means, eith
er to furnish emnlnymont or sustnin
Its citizens who have so suffered.
"Contributions hnve been secured
from coast cities and from individuals,'
hut this cannot be employed to re
store the property of the Inhabitants
of the devastated districts. In order
to rebuild It will be necessary to
fill bv dredging the entire pnrt of
the city destroyed.. Practically all
of the streets and sewers destroyed
were constructed on and under via
ducts and costs assessed ngnlnst the
nrnnertv. Such assessment, have not
been paid which torether with the
ennrmnus loss sustnlned makes It
Impossible to reconstruct. The situa
tion Is serious and pppnlllng unless
the city receives Immediate gnvern
luent aid. It. seems thnt it will cease
to function and bankruptcy of Its
people heretofore solvent will result.
The disaster, not counting the loss
of life equals that caused by the tidal
wave which devastated Galveston and
the Sun Francisco holocaust of 1!H)6.
We deem the situation so crltlcuf
that we feel It necessary to appeal tn
the Congress of the United States fot
immediate aid such as was granted tn
Galveston and Sun Francisco. It In
believed that it will require at leas!
three million dollars to afford nny
ways nenr adequate relief.

occupation, and history remains a
mystery until the last net. Is one of
tile best humorous characters on

manner.
