Thirty blocks of the business sec tion, includinjf some of the older residences, practically nil of th? leading business houses, the banks, both newspapers went up if. Binoke. There has not been such a fire on the Pacific coast in many years. Astoria was one of Oregon's best cities it was the city At the great sea port, said to be the largest fresh water port in the world, in late years the people of that city bonded theni- ielves to more than the limit to install municipal grain elevators and many other commercial advantages in keeping with her ad vantageous locatii'm. This afternoon the city is in ashes and business men have. lost tremendously. ' Of course Astoria, like Phoenix, will rise from these ashes, but . 'it will be a long pull and a hard one to build back the Astoria ; which we all know! Today's conflagration has spelled bankruptcy to successful business firms; it has transformed an active, ener getic community filled with high grade men and women into an , rsli heap, and all within a few hours. The struggle for rehabilitation will be hard, but the re-build ing process will start at once for Astoria Oregon's biggest sea-1 port will be rebuilt in time. 1 o i Chicago Going to the Gulf. Illinois has formally approved the extensive plans to con nect Chicago and Illinois river front cities with the (!ulf of Mex ico. The state has ordered construction of the locks and dams, land work will start soon and progress as rapidly as possible. The improvements will not only connect Chicago with the f tilf, but New Orleans with the Great Lakes. Kvery city on th" Mississippi from St. Louis south will have navigation lo the Great Lakes, and every city on the Illinois will have a traffic course to th South Seas. , ;, Proponents of the St. Lawrence project and 'Mississippi river development enterprises should note how Chicago and Illinois river ports secure two routes lo the seaboard. Chicago will b.j ii gulf port und2somt! day probably will be an Atlantic port. and rivtu cities nhnuld 1'1 ihoiv undortakinuM mid work hi concert. Water rates will he tfroat factors, of inestimable importance, in both domestic and foreign trade. And This is Fame Here is what a press aent publishes in a hitf city newspaper: KuIlovhitf the eiiKajroment of Douglas Fairbanks in 'Robin Hood at the Suthandstieh theater, D. V. Griffith, an associate of Fairbanks in the United Artists' corporation, will take over the theater for the showing of the latest production. 'One K titinjf Nitfht" 4 We could not have been persuaded to believe that Mr. C-rif-; fith and his genius were so little known. We had believed that ' Mr. Griffith was generally recognized as being the first great' pvodueer and the greatest of all producers. Most of the distin guished motion picture players were developed by Mr. CriffilhJ and it was he who was mainly creditable with making pictures a form of dramatic art. Rut we have had a mistaken point of view. Maybe Mr. Grif-, fith was not entitled to fame until he became an associate of Mr. t-airbnuks. Maybe Mr. Griffith now appreciates the jsreal honoi 'which has hecn conferred tin him. lH2fl Henry Tinnod, celebrated poet, born in Charleston, S. C.
