THE MORNING OREGONTAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1923 BEACOff OF FAITH GUIDES AS10I Modern City Is to Rise on Ruins of Fire. VISION OF FUTURE BROAD People Turn Faces Against Ca lamity and Lay Flans for Vast Reconstruction. (Continued From First Page.) gins. Officials of the Astoria Sav- j ings bank would rebuild tomorrow, ! and the Astoria Budget, which mimV eographed one edition to preserve: inviolate its continuity, would start not an hour later. ! Yet these and scores of other wishful endeavors are forced to tem porize with actualities, with the need; for a comprehensive survey of what: the city must have through recon-i struction. Wider streets, for one' thing, and a harmonious plan of re- construction that will in every de-j tail surpass the old. The wonder is where they w'll I begin. It is very plain, of course,; that ere they build retaining walls for their, new street fills, or mortar; the stone for foundations, they must toil in that blackened and discon-1 cording puzzle which was once thei business district of the city toil fon a,n approximate distance of half a' mile without once quitting the debris . of jumbled bricks and twisted steel. It is such a contract as ants might find delight in, and perhaps it is not quite so formidable as it seems, but as an illustration- of elemental ruin to be redeemed by toilsome in dustry it is convincing to the verge of dismay. Ruins Still Are Virgin. Gulls wander idly in from the har bor and turn on graceful wing to perch on the snags of masonry. They stoop to the edge of the embers for such salvage as may be descried, quarreling amid the litter. But save for the gulls and for a half dozen telephone laborers who toil for an underground somewhere beneath those heaps of tortured stone and iron, the ruins of Astoria are virgin. Folk who have the privilege of police passes and these are rare documents skirt the smouldering wreckage and speculate upon the fortunes that are fused or vaulted there. Others debate the matter from afar, restrained from closer in quiry by bayonets. City Still Businesslike. Astoria is very businesslike about its calamity. It would as soon send a nickel-jacketed bullet through the midriff of the inquisitive seekers as take a pinch of snuff, which is far from unpopular in these parts. Turn where you will, one cannot escape the ancient mariner of the great fire. Long since he has wearied the local hearers, who have stories of their own to relate. Let him but espy the unwary stranger and he descends upon that hapless wight like fate itself. Thrusting his d'ffident victim into a conven ient corner, he describes at length his consternation upon awakening, the dash, with which he donned his trousers, his advent upon the scene, and the fortitude he evinced in re maining until the floor burst into flames beneath his feet, the front caved and he made his exit via a rear window with the records of the firm. All Comes to One End. He is more than apt to remind one, being filled with his subject, that in the has'te and turmoil ol events he has been displaced as th heroic figure of the fire. . It all comes to the same in the end. Those who have suffered the infliction learn the art of the quarry, per ceive the survivor from afar, and give him such berth as he deserves. The destroyer Yarborough as bent upon a record run to San Diego. Now she lies at dock in Astoria harbor, her sailors pacing the frosty streets and her search lights turned from dusk to dawn, thrusting here and there upon the area of ruin. Somewhere off the Coos county coast her radio caught the word of disaster and turned her prow north again, racing to the suc cor of the blazing town. Sailors Have Soothing Kffect. They on the Yarborough are eon tent with service, yet the pacing sentries are apt to voice, now and again, their perplexity at the vagar ies of landsmen, which permitted them to proceed southward to north ern California before calling them back again for guard duty. The arrival of the sailors had a soothing. ertect upon local nerves. They halt with authority but without that ec centric display of steel that is so disquieting to the evening way farer. It remained for one Portland newspaperman, blessed by that spe "cial providence of the fourth estate, to unwittingly outwit both civilian guardsmen and the quiet but reso lute tars. Police Star Handv Aid. A veteran of the story, he had commandeered for the trip to As toria the brass-bound overcoat of a Portland patrolman, together with its large and authoritative star. This he wore with no thought save to foil the weather, yet the volumin ous garment and its symbol proved a sesame to the forbidden streets. Sailors saluted him markedly and petty officers hailed him as a com rade and an equal. He. of all the hapless aliens in Astoria, was free ' to come and go upon his lawful occasions. At midnight, towing two timorous companions, there rose before him and his friends a most efficient sailor man. flashing an electric torch. It gleamed upon the star and the buttons but momentarily, and switched to linger for a Ions: instant your dache PDACHEV P0WDERS 1 v f'Ey ft'. .3s3SL. upon the faces of the convoy. "Pass, brother," quoth the petty officer of the Yarborough, "I just thought I'd have a look at them ; two birds that's with you." Reporter Wins Scrimmage. In Astoria they tell witht reiisli the incident of yet another sojourn- i ing reporter, down from Portland . who was summoned with his fellows before a citizens committee to show cause why he should or should not write the news as U befell, and who was informed that a censorship might be imposed upon the further endeavors of his craft. Among his peers this youth is knoirti as "The Bourbon," a christening which had origin partly in the fact that he is late ofBummingham, yet more for a distinct flavor of the old south, like the tang of a julep that lingers in his manner and his speech: He faced the august tri bunal and with impeccable courtesy gave them to know that he re mained the master .of his fate and that he. spoke for the others. The chairman of the 'committee, ordi narily a placable person, forgot himself in a single expletive. "Sun," said the Bourbon, sharply, making the most of his inches, "1 must remind you that I have not yet resohted to profanity." To a cackle of embarrassed apol ogy, the day was lost for censorship The Bourbon held that stricken field. and withdrew with honor. AVant 1m Driven From Door. Those who tarry in Astoria will not find all the comforts of home, yet it is relatively safe to say that they will neither know want or dis comfort. As for the plight of the townspeople, it is truly pitiable. Upon their need there p.oured- into the city such a tide of gifts as never was known before. They could bar ricade their streets with bread and their blankets would equip the Sioux nation as it was in the time of Sit ting Bull. The heart and center of this philanthropic enterprise is the headquarters of the Oregon national guard. Thither it is that laborers, reduced to one pair of overalls and a singla shirt, repair for a new issue for thick woolen socks of the army, for olive drab garments and for all man ner of cold-weather gear repair, it may -be said, to such purpose and effect that there has been issued an order concerning the need for scru tinizing the needy, lest their desire prove greater, than their distress, as has been known to befall. Yet if the clothing depot is a rock of refuge, the commissary is a joy forever. Cooks of the national guard carve away at giant rounds and flip fried mush and fry crisp bacon and compound army stew and brew vast cauldrons of Senegambian coffeee. Come midnight and that kitchen, redolent with odor a,, and loud with buffoonery, is a good place to be. The password is just plain and ordinary hunger. Rich Cftteea Cet Free Meals. Yet there is in his city, if report hath the matter correctly, a certain thrifty citizen who counts his for tune by many figures, who could rebuild a ruined block if the whim moved him, who has not purchased a meal since the citizen doughboys first called "come and take it," a stooped and furtive old fellow, drifting1 in like river fog, to prove his mortality by the consumption of prodigious dinners, by dint of'many flank attacks upoif the casual comestibles that heap the long board tables Him the stout cooks of the guard have learned to know and of all the city and its citizens he is the sole exception to their generous mood. In the battle of wits he frequently outwits them, yet time and again he has been taken red handed with tinned milk. To wit ness this codger bent upon -a raid is to realise that the Artful Dodger was at best a novice, who had not earned his sobriquet. That black and ( pungent coffee here is disorderly efficiency, mas culine efficiency, if you please, at its best. If it suits the late and midnight diner he tips the milk tin over the- cup, letting it pour prodi gally, dips a generous spoon into the heaped dish of snowy crystal before him, stirs for a moment, and lifts the draught to drink cold and footsore, this is a moment long to remember.

(Special.) Plans are being made by the general relief committee and Lieutenant-Commander Church, repre senting the naval authorities, to open all safes in the burned area. The responsibility of keeping loot ers, from the district rests on the naval guards and it is felt that suf ficient time has elapsed to permit opening of the safes without danger to the contents. Astoria business men who needed typewriters to carry on their busi ness, now have the machines, fur nished free by the Remington Type writer company of Portland. R. J. Mather, representing the company, arrived in Astoria yesterday with 40 machines. More will be supplied as needed. The Clatsop county courthouse is now a bank. Necessary fixtures were installed today and tomorrow morn ing the institution will be open for the benefit of Astoria people whose funds are locked up in the vaults of tne city's four banking houses. Earl Kiipatrick of the American Red Cross has been requested to stay in Astoria and take general charge of all family relief work and the rehabilitation programme. A tele gram to that effect was received yesterday from George Filmore, division manager of the American Red -Cross at San Francisco. The tUegram also announced a donation of $3000 in addition to the $M)0D given by the Portland chapter, for Astoria work. P. A. Parsons, of the University of Oregon. Miss Eleanor Tomson and Miss Elita Brownlee will assist Mr. Kiipatrick. .... Slickers, gum boots and rubber hats, worn by citizens on guard duty at Astoria, were furnished by the Portland Chamber of Commerce. Because of the snow, rain and slush, these garments have proved a godsend to men who are spending their nights and days protecting the lives and property of the city. . Drunken men are few and far be tween in Astoria and no disorder whatever has been reported. With the ban on soft drink parlors sus pected of dealing in moonshine, all are kept under surveillance by the authorities. Astoria has no liquor problem today. Apples Shipped From Lyle. WHITE SALMON, Wash.. Dec. 11. (Special.) The car shortage sit uation here is improving. Daily shipments of apples are being made without delay. Thirty-five carloads have been shipped from Lyle during the last ten days with considerable tonnage remain'ng for shipment BUILDING PLAN'S IDE BY ASTDR Fire Limits Changed for Temporary Structures. STREET REOPENING NEXT Council Aprftoves Personnel of Committee in Charge of Fire Relief Work. ASTORIA, Dr., Dec. 11. (Special.) -Astoria settled down to real busi ness tonight and started the actual work of reconstruction of the city. The city council, at an extra meet ing, unanimously approved the ap pointment of the general relief com mittee, the personnel of which has caused some little dissention. It passed an emergency ordinance ex tending the fire limits and author izing the erection of temporary one story wooden structures. The reopening of Commercial street was proposed by property owners and merchants who desire immediately to reopen their stores. The street committee was given full authority to proceed with the work. Meeting Is Harmonious. Harmony existed at the meeting The council chambers were Backed ' and the majority of those in attend - ance expressed satisfaction at the stand the municipal authorities have taken. Special council meetings will be held every night to handle the many difficult problems that arise from time to time. As an indication of the spirit of Astoria people, Charles W. Robinson, prominent local attorney and ex deputy district attorney of Multno mah county, who has been assisting the law enforcement agencies, ab solutely refused salary when the council passed an ordinance appoint ing him assistant chief of police at $150 a month. "Others lost everything and gave everything," Mr. Hobinson said. "The least that I can do is to give my .time and services." --Astoria's commercial interests!, her business rien, , merchants and property owners got behind the general relief committee today and laid plans for the erection of a greater and better city. Streets in the commercial district that will rise out of the blackened ruins will be widened; the old viaducts, which helped the csnflagration to spread over the entire commercial districts, wfil be fiiled in by dredges. No attempt will be made to move he business center. The one-story temporary frame structures within the fire limits must be torn down by March 1, 1924. Mercantile Institution Needed. Astoria, stunned for several days by the castatrophe, has begun to r.eal''ze that her principal difficulty is the lack of stores and mercantile institutions. The city's homes are intact, many of the industrial plants have not been touched by the flames, but the distributing system of her civic life has been com pletely obliterated. If a man had $10,000 in his pocket he could not purchase so much as a cup of coffee unless he could per suade some housewife to sell it to' him. Despite a determined opposi tion from, the faction which elected a new . mayor and city council, the executive' committee devoted the greater part of today to open ses sion and decided to ignore all per sonalities and continue with its work of rebuilding the city. Conference Are Held. Committees representing the property owners and merchants were also in session and conferred with the general committee. Because the relief work is so well in hand and all distress eliminated, the commit tee busied itself with plans to re open the business 'district and to provide housing for the stocks of merchants. The merchants and property own ers' committee proposed to the gen eral committee the plan providing that no temporary building be "erected in the streets; tftat the city administration -be requested to modify the building code to permit the erection of temporary structures of one story and basement, to be The money was forwarded to the re built in the burned district and to be i lief committee in that city with an razed by March 1, 1924; that the 1 offer of further assistance if neces merchants be induced to re-establish sary. Sixty-Three "Years JS a long time, but such a period represents the life of the Gas Industry in the city ef Portland. The first Gas Company began with one mile of mains, 40 customers and a daily output of approxi mately 200,000 cubic feet of gas. The present Company through 1201 miles of mains is distrib uting daily more than 8,500,000 cubic feet of gas to 73,000 customers. : Portland Gas & Coke Company is firmly estab lished. The Gas Industry is long past the experi mental stages. Gas has become a necessity of everyday life. - The funds to provide necessary additions to plants and equipment to meet the ever-increasing demands of the territory served, must be procured through the sale of securities.

The general committee, realizing th&t streets must be built before buildings can be erected, drafted st resolution calling on the city coun cil to take stejs toward the widen ing to 70 feet of the principal thor oughfares in the -downtown section. Less important streets, now 50 feet in width, will be widened to 60 feet. The plan of creating a revolving fund for the use of small merchants who are unable to reopen business on the amount of insurance re ceived, also was discussed. A com mittee, to get property owners and merchants together, was also ap pointed. One citizen, who owns con siderable property in the burned area, agreed to rent his ground at a nominal rental, to-erect the tem porary structure and to allow the merchant tp pay for it in monthly installments. . Repair Jobs Are Started. Today was a day of considerable activity in Astoria. Those citizens who were not on guard duty or at tending committee meetings were for the most part at work. One gang of workmen began to build a foot bridge from the edge of the burned .area to a destroyed bank, a hundred feet away. Trucks were hauling lumber. Carpenters and glaziers went to work on the build ings which had been only singed by the fire. The schools were all in session. The Astoria business college rer opened in the basement of the Grace Episcopal church. The Troy laun dry, which was destroyed, luckily had another plant outside of the burned district. This plant went into operation yesterday morning and will, run day and night if per mission can be obtained from the labor commission to allow the em ployment of women after 8 P. M. On the edges of the destroyed area, some merchants began erect ing portable garages in which they will carry small stocks of goods until such time as they can find larger Quarters. 1 Another sign of the awakening ' commercial life of the city was the I influx of the salesmen, business men. jobbers and the factory repre sentatives from Portland. ' Every line had Its representatives. The newcomers could be easily recog nized by their spick-and-span ap pearance, their pressed clothes and white collars. Astoria, as a whole, had forgotten' those luxuries since the fire. Insurance adjusters are the busi est men in the city. A number of claims have been settled already. Lee Drake, owner of the Astoria Budget, whose new plant was gutted, made his settlement today and announced his intention of re building immediately. HOOD WILL SEND APPLES Growers to Send Carload as Gift " to Astoria Children. KOOD RIVER, Or., Dec. 11. (Spe cial.) L. H. Hasbrouck, county judge, today telegraphed Astoria officials that apple growers of Hood River county wisn to present the children of Astoria a carload of apples as a Christmas gift. The apples will be forwarded as Astoria directs. The apples will be assembled from growers through the newly organ ized Hood River Traffic association, with which is affiliated every co operative and independent shipping concern of the valley. Citizens of the city will bear the freight charge on the gift apples. "If weather conditions would per mit." said Judge Hasbrouck,- "we would also offer a carload of upper valley potatoes. Because of the deep snow, however, it would be im possible now to transport the tubers to loading stations." TRAFFIC OFFICERS AID CITY Two' More State Men to Assist Astoria Police Force.. ' ' SALEM, Or., Dec 11. (Special.) Acting at the telegraphic request of Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state, the law enforcement bureau of the state motor vehicle department to day sent two additional traffic of ficers to Astoria to aSBist the police of that city. There are now six sta'te traffic officers on duty at Astoria, under the direction of T. A. Raffety, in charge of the law en forcement bureau. Secretary of State Kozer said he had instructed the traffic officers to remain at Astoria until formally released from service by the" chief of police of that city. Raymond Sends Money. RAYMOND, Wash., Dec. 11. (Spe cial.) The Raymond Rotary club at its weekly luncheon todayraised ; $219 toward the relief of Astoria Portland, Or. : LEGION HELPS HST01 PORTLAND POST SEXDS $250 FOR RELIEF WORK. Cards to Be Furnished Jobless Veterans Who Come Here lor Employment. . In response to a plea for aid from Clatsop post of the American Le gion in Astoria, the executive com mittee -of Portland post, meeting y.esterday noon, voted $250 in cash and pledged the organization to further assistance should the an nual post entertainment, "A- Night in Paris," prove a financial suc cess. The plight of the Astoria "bud dies," who are without work, many without homes, but who are func tioning 100 per cent in relief efforts, was outlined by Pat Allen, vlce-commander-elect of the Portland post, who had Just returned from the seaport. He said that C. AMur phey, post commander and member of the' general committee in Astoria, believed the present great need in helping the post relief was ade quate funds. Gebrge R. Wilbur of Hopd River, state commander of the American Legion, invited to attend the Port land session, declared that the de partment of Oregon had no relief funds at the present date and that the question of Astoria relief, so far as ex-service men are concerned, depended on the efforts of individ-. ual posts throughout the state. As there are about 115 of them, it is expected that an organized effort will be made in the collection of funds and supplies. Portland post is asking the Le gion commander at Astoria to fur nish veterans out of work in that city who intend coming to Portland to seek employment, with cards of identification so that outsiders may not . pre-empt the attention of. the employment officials of the local- or ganization. Department Commander Wilbur announced at the meeting that Al vin Mansfield Owsley, national com mander of the American Legion, would be a visitor to this state on January 4, 5 and 6, and that a meeting would be held in his honor in Portland on the night of Janu ary 5. An attempt had been made to have him route his trip so as to arrive in this city in time for the Legion entertainment on the night of December 30, but his itinerary did not permit of this. So far - as arrangements have been made. Commander Owsley will arrive in Eugene at 3 P. M., De cember 4, and will address a meet. ing in that city. He will get to Salem by noon, December 5, speak at a meeting there and arrive in Portland early that night. He will speak at the auditorium or armory in this city and leave, the following day for the north. "His primary desire is to talk to (he business men of the city and to ex-service men who are not mem bers of the American Legion," de clared the state commander. "He declares that it is' unnecessary to 'sell' the Legion, to itself, but that the general public knows1 too little of the great work being accom plished by our organization." K. T. Stretcher, acting commander of Portland post, was instructed to appoint a committee of five to nan die arrangements .for the visit of Mr. Owsley. - Lodge Aids Relief Work. Fred B. Currey, state deputy of the Modern W oodmen of America, and Ben F. Sherwood, president of Lone Fir camp of Portland, acting as representatives of the Portland camps, have gone to Astoria to as sist in relief work for the members of the order there, numbering about .250. " The order stands --ready .to as sist in the general relief work, 'it. was announce!, as well as to do re lief work for the Astoria Modern Woodmen.
