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

necessity of shouldering, for a length
cned period, property that has now de-
terlorated so much in value. 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

P. car shops and East Portland to

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
