The result will depend largely upon what Portland does. The first thing, of eourse. Is to do everything to relieve the distress of the stricken city, and to assist In caring for its unfortunates."

At o'clock on Thursday morning ths people arose - from their beds In the Streets and began to build small Ores in the gutters to make their coffee. Pro visions were very scarce.
