THE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 21, 1894. (Continued from First Page.) eluding iortlons of the warehouse build ings on each Bide of the landing. The water has gone down oft Mor rison along Front, leaving the St. Charles Hotel free of access. When this building, which includes on the ground floor, bar, billiard room, dining room, and office, - was opened up, the havoc wrought was discovered to be far worse than had been Imagined. It is needless to go into a detailed description, ex cept to say that, including two fine bil liard tables, ail the furniture and fit tings are completely ruined, and can probably be made piore useful as fire wood than anything else. The sights that present themselves In these places after the water has left them, give one something of an idea of what will be discovered when all the submerged Front and First street business houses can be examined. A representative of a well known com merclal agency told me today that many old established merchant of this city had barely weathered the late financial ctorm when all Portland's banks went under,, and that this flood would with out a doubt drive them to the wall lie continued: "Where a few years ago a mouth's loss of business would have mallei ed very little to these men, Just now, coming after the greatest financial depression of a generation, It will be more than sufficient to crowd them into commercial extremities." The intricate machinery underneath HendHckson's big sidewalk clock on First street was examined today and found to tie considerably damaged by the water notwithstanding the precau tions that had been taken to save It. Shaiiahaa Bros.' store, though as far up as the corner of Salmon and First Blreets, has felt the effects of the flood. The cellars of the building were com pletely flooded out, and a good deal of lower quality goods destroyed. The boys are working hard to get things clear, and are taking their medicine like true Irishmen. Mr. Shanahan said to me this morning: "Mr. Scott sits up in his lower and thinks that he can see all the damage just as well from there as anywhere else. Nobody will ever know the destruction that has been caused in this end of the city, in the cellars. I have not seen an Oregonian reporter in tills part of the town since the flood started. You will notice they carefully avoid giving names, Jn their descrip tions of the flood. They generalize. It is the safest way for them." Chloride of lime and a dozen other disinfectants are now being used freely in some portions of the city, but In the north end the accumulated filth has ob tained full possession. Here the stench dally becomes more abominable, and un less immediate measures nre taken the hot sun of a few more days will breed fevers of the worst character. So pene trating and nauseating is the stench in this locality that all day long business men have avoided the district, though called there on matters of" importance They preferred to lose the business rather than risk a Eick headache, and probably something worse. v. x. iramura nas inaugurated a Gearhart Park boom here already, and Indications point to an unprecedented amount of travel to Seaside this year. Nearly all the citizens of means Intend to take a long vacation from the me 1 tropolis in the hottest weather of the summer, and thereby to some extent avoid the sickness that all seem to think will follow close on the subsidance of the flood. Car traffic Is improving as the water goes down, and though in some places the electric cars have to splash through miniature lakes, such little inconveni ences are put up with cheerfully by the public for the sake of having means of rapid transit placed once more at their disposal. Tha well known slot drawer gamblin machines that were driven out of As toria a few weeks ago, seem to have found a secure abiding place In Port land. They can be seen in operation in half the cigar Btores and saloons of the city. A9 the water falls from Second to First, along Washington, ft leaves the car tracks In a very bad condition. The rails are several Inches above the bal ance of the roadway, and separated from it by large gaps three or four times the size of the railing itself. No services are being held In Trinity church, away back on Sixth street. The water, after demolishing the garden and all the fences surrounding this edifice, flooded the cellars, and in one or two places lifted the floors. Five hundred dollars will not repair the damage done to this church's property. Nearly all the pleasure boats have dis appeared from the flooded district. One lone nigger on First street, with a flat bottomed tub, was appealing today to the passers by to have one row up the "Ryalter," just for luck. "De las' chance, ladies, till yer little children's hair gets gray with ole age." How the colored gentleman knew that they wouldn't have the same chance next June he didn't say. Maybe he goes It blind, and trusts to the Oregonian to pull him through. There seems no reasonable doubt that cne immediate result of the flood will be, contractor shall forfeit the sum of 5 the falling down of rents, and the va- per day for each and every day re catlng of large portions of the district' quired to complete the said contract in , . , T. . , r,,lo,. excess of the time specified.

This last fact proves to my mind beyond a doubt that there is to be a gradual but general abandonment of what Is today the cen tre of commercial activity In Portland, but others think differently. Mr. Fred. V. Holman, the well known attorney and capitalist, of this city, Is one of those who takes issue with my Ideas on this subject. He will give me his views tomorrow on this lmi:ortunt question for publication In The Autorlan, and though the majority of your readers may not agree with his conclusions, I am sure they will follow his argument closely and with fairness. Col. Taylor was walking round town today making himself acquainted with everything of interest. Messrs. A. It. Cyrus, M. B. Bozarth and several other Astorlans were also taking In the sights. The well known cigar store occupied by Mike Bowman is a total wreck, and very nearly rivals Its next door neigh bor, the N. P. ticket office, in its ap pearance. This latter place is literally cleaned out, and some vandal completed the demolition last night by smashing In the masslvo plate glass windows. Several of these miscreants have been round lately, and all over the flooded district', since the waters began to fall, the windows have been broken ruthless ly. Tomorrow we will go through the U. P. car shops and East Portland to gether, fake a ramble down Third street and listen to Mr." Holman's defense of First, Front, and Second street prop erty. NOTICE TO WATER CONSUMERS.

Blue Devils The business man who says that ad vertising does not pay does not adver tise. He Is the one that always doubts the prosperous trade reports he hears of his competitor, who docs advertise. He sits in the back of his store, smokes his pipe and wonders why ho Isn't making any money. He has the blues when he should have trade. He not only lets his neighbor .get that neighbor's share of the business, but a good part of his also. He sees people whom he thought old friends of his go into his competitor's store and come out with bundles of goods, when lie has the same articles on his shelves, and perhaps at lower prices than they paid his competitor for them. Why is this so? It is because his com petitor let3 the public know In an in telligent way through the local papers what he has to sell and when he has it. The successful advertiser looks after his advertising space as he does his clerks. He changes his ads. in such a way tha people are attracted by them. He feels that to make money he must be willing to spend some; that there Is strong competition In all lines of busi ness, and to get his share of the trade he must advertise, and to do It in. the most skillful and intelligent way. If he cannot write advertising matter himself, he seeks the aid of some one who has made the writing of advertisements a study some specialist, who will see that It is properly written in a catchy and displayed way some pne whose duty it Is to take off the shoulders of a busy man all the worry of making up an ad. No business man attempts to cure his own sickness, pull his own teeth, make his own clothes or attend to his own law cases. He employs specialists for each of these various services, and saves money by doing It. It Is through its language and arrangement that an advertisement gets Its business-bringing qualities. There must be something to attract public attentipn and hold it; something of interest, something out of the ordinary, something' that is different from others of the same line of busi ness. To give it these peculiar features requires experience, and' the owner of The Astorian has engaged the services of such a specialist for the benefit pf its advertising customers who may wisli to take advantage of his services. The Evening Star, of Washington, D. C, has an ad-;rti.ieLnent writer con nected with Its business department, and Its terms to advertisers are, "So much blank space, so much money. The same amount of space, with the assist ance of the advertisement writer In get ting up ad. attractively, so much addi tional." The Astorian charges jiorhln extra, the services of the expert being thrown fn. i , VOLUMES COULD EE WRITTEN, filled with tho testi mony of women who have been made- well find strong by Dr. Plcrco's Favorlts Prescription.
