C A. and the telephone office; on the west by the courthouse, the 8px arth building and old rooming houses of that section; and on the north by the railroad tracks, beyond which are the docks and warehouses. Astoria is an aged city and a 'large ' number of the buildings In this burned area were old wooden structures. Among these, however, were fine new buildings of brick and stone and ce ment the newspaper offices bank buildings, theatres and new stores. CARRIED Vf VIADCCT ! The main street of the city, Com- Tbe body of Henry Nestle was recov- mercial street. running- east and west. ered early Sunday afternoon after grim was a wooden viaduct paved over. and determined riverroen had dragged Lateral streets running off from Com- rhe stony bed of the swollen Willamette for three and a half days. It was found sbout 400 yards down stream from the gravel plant, opposite which he met his death when the boat con taining him and Linn overturned. The body had been washed into a position opposite the municipal auto camp. In the water Jtsed as a swimming pool by tewnspeople and tourists during the summer time. The search is still going cn in the hope that Linn's body also n.ay be found. ItTJMJfT GIVES CLEW M. B. Robinson, working in a small boat with Harold Waggoner, held the mercial were also viaducts. When fire waa discovered In the Thiel pool hall a little after S o'clock Friday morning, the fire department did its best to check it. But the Bee Hive department store, which caught next. made a giant blase, and from It the flames swept along the viaduct streets. The air currents under these streets carried the fire along, east south and west, and at times it broke out more than half a block ahead of where the firemen believed it centered. Finally, when the viaducts and buildings had been dynamtled,- the fire stopped after U o'clock Friday morning. More than 2000 people were then homeless those wbo had lived la their shops and V. hotels and rooming fcouses. : -'r ":- ' ' Hasty and inadequate reilef work Was began while the fire still ad vanced, and Friday morning a coalition of enures people gathered and elected .

It was - ettll. . however, only- a -relief committee." Major : William Gilbert was named chairman to take Grayu plane. This committee went ahead and though it was still clumsy because of the rapidity ef organisa tion, did its best to establish places to eat and distribute relief to the hungry, clothing to the cold and sec lire rooms for those without shelter- ' . DECIDE OX TBJT '. ; ' Saturday morning at It o'clock the committee of 60 met again. G. C. Fulton, a local attorney, made a talk in which be said the large, committee was unmanageable. He moved that Major Gilbert appoint a committee of 10. including Gilbert as chairman, to take charge of the entire city admin ietraUaai during the process of recon struction. This committee wsa to have autocratic powers. The motion carried. The men appointed have been named several times in the dispatches.. This "committee of public safety," "vigilance committee, or whatever it may come to be called, met In the courthouse In the afternoon. The members decided that without the ap proval of Mayor Bremner and the council they would be powerless. . Mayor Bremner said he would sign a proclamation giving all power to this committee if Mayor-elect Setters,, who takes office January 1. would also sign it. Setters refused until he got the approval of the new councilman, tak ing office the same time he does, and the activities of the committee were temporarily halted. Fall sanction of the committee was given Sunday after noon, however, and the committee took charge of city affairs. Meantime the burned out ' business men had held several meetings, with Lee Drake, president of the Chamber of Commerce, in the chair. The meet ings were attended by hundreds and an Indomitable determination and en thusiasm for rebuilding was shown. TEMPORARY DISTRICT it was determined to establish a temporary business district in the vi cinity of the T. M. C A., where the merchants could erect booths in which , to display goods saved from the fire and goods hastened from Portland to meet the needs of the residents of the city. What makes this rebuilding process a difficult and pitiful one Is the fact that insurance rates in Astoria were so high that few of the property own ers were Insured up to anything near the value ofJheir property. However, the adjusters for the various com panies are almost all on the scene now.

IMMEDIATE 'NECESSITIES ' Food, clothing,' fuel and shelter are, of course, the immediate necessities. Neighboring towns, large firms, and Portland In particular, appear in a fair way to nurse the stricken city through the crista But there can be no let down in contributions, for there Is a long battle ahead before Astoria can have money of its own with which to buy supplies. Money will be especially necessary,, so that the banking com mittee, by judicious distribution, can encourage the rejuvenation of business. Otherwise it will be just like meet ing a man on the desert, giving him one sandwich and wishing him wen on his trip. Astoria has a long desert to plod across, and one sandwich will not give strength enough. U.
