Paducah's river front Is nobody's

usually are. Strewn over II are logs,
fragments of rock, boards, barrels,
worn out boilers. broken down wag-
ons, and weeds in unmolested profu-
sion. Added to all that. the fact that
the rear of the buildings necessarily
must be shown TO the river. 1t is ask
ed. what kind of an impression Of Pa

Louis, for instance. get of our civic
pride?
''ln practically all other cities. the
city government keeps the wharf
clean,' said a wharfboat officer this
morning. In St. Louis the Mark
Twain does nothing but go up and
down the wharf and flush ii, sweep
ing everything into the river. When
the river falls. the sediment prompt
~ is cleaned OFF The wharf is as much
the city's charge as any of its
streets"
For from six to ten feet back from
the rivers edge. the sediment left by
the river falling is so thick that the
cobble-stone paving cannot be seen,
and the whole wharf is streaked with
mud. An hour or SOS work by the fire
department would make 1t present
the appearance of the backyard of

SPIRIT OF PEOPLE

CLINTON J. HUTcHGNS THINKS
THAT THE SPIRIT SHOWN BY
THE PEOPLE is MARVELLOUS.

THE most remarkable thing about
the whole thing" said Clinton J. Tut
chins who returned from San Francisco
this morning. "1s the spirit of the peO-
pie of San Francisco. They are not
wanting pity but rather they are pity
ing the people who are not able to be in
San Francisco and have a share of the
fun.
Every where 1 went found people
with a jest or smile All over in the
midst of the most terrible of calamities
there was to be found such a spirit of
courage and good fellowship that one
marveled at the fact. San Francisco
win rebuild and it will not be long
about 1t either
'One firm of architects in San Fran
cisco had over S25, 900 900 worth of busi-
ness in their office within two weeks af-
ter the disaster. During the few
days 1 was out Of the city in Los An
geles thousands of temporary structures
were built and thousands of yards of
debris cleared away The spirit is
nothing short of the marvellous. If one
should ask a resident of San Francisco
If he thought the city would be re-
built he would look at you in the ut
most astonishment.
However that report about my say
ing anything detrimental to the islands
got into the papers in San Francisco
do not know. 1 certainly did not know
anything of the matter. No one was
ever more astounded than 1 when I
read the article in the Advertiser by
my wife saying that the report was
not true. 1 worked for the islands try
ing to induce people to come here to
recover their health lost during the fire
and in one case that know of 1 sue

near to Heaven as one can get on this
earth and you may rest assured that
win do nothing to hurt the country"
