ASTORIA, Ore. December a.-Astoria
today surveyed it's losses from the
S12000.00O fire which yesterday raZed
twenty-four blocks of the city's busi-
to relieve the $500 persons made
homeless by the c"nilagration.
Mayor Ercmner yesterday expressed
the opinion the fire was incendiary and
could be charged to ''radicals.'' Chief
of Police Carlson concurrcd in this be-
lief
Il am certain that radicalism is re-
sponsible," said the mayor. "Of course.
there will be Il more thorough investiga-
ton than has been. possible. When it is
over. l am sure it will lie established
that the fire was set
The town of Astoria grew from piles
built far out into the water. The piles
originally were extended into the deep
water 10 accommodate vessels which
otherwise would have had TO anchor out
in the harboT. The business district
grouped itself close to the docks. The
residential section was built on higher
ground.
With the heart of the city in still
Smoldering ruins, plans for rebuilding
were nebulous. but ii was the general
sentiment that reconstruction on a
larger and more substantial scale
would start as soon as the more i'm
mediate relief needs We're supplied.
Rain fell today on the ruins help
ing the firemen quench the smolder-
ing remnants of the blaze.
One report was that the fire broke
out in a poolroom at one side of the
Beehive department store. and short
ly afterward another fire was dis
covered on the other side of that
store. Investigators today said this
might be accounted for by the flames
spreading under the pilng on which
the building was erected.
"If the fire was of incendiary origin
it was a pure case of arson.' said J.
Dewitt Gilbert. news editor of the
Astoria Budget. II do not believe that
there is any ground for attributing
the fire to radicals. The industrial
situation at Astoria has not been dis
turbed. There have been some agita-
tors here. but there had been no
