Under Martial Law
The city was under martial
law as $50 Marines from the
Portsmouth barracks, 500 naval
guards and others aided the city's
entire police force in helping peO-
ple in the burning area to safety
and keeping thongs in check.
. The fire was still burning today
in the stricken area, but it is no
longer spreading and firemen are
still soaking the debris to extin-
Ruish the remaining flames.
A definite property check and
search for possible bodies in the
wreckage will get underway today.
Storage plants, factories, and
warehouses fed the flames. Fire,
men we're aided by sailors and
marines from Hampton Roads.
- Hotel Destroyed
d" One hotel was destroyed and
another was badly damaged.
Gusts were forced to flee from
the Victoria Hotel without their
- personal belongings when flames
razed the structure. A few min
utes later the Ballentine Hotel
was aflame, and it was only after
1t had been badly damaged that
the fire was brought under con-
troll there.
= The huge plant of the Levy
Crockin Furniture Company was
the first Of the warehouses to
catch fire.
Other plants that were soon
caught in the sweep of the flames
were the American Peanut Com
pany factory. the National Bag
and Paper Company headquarters,
the Rosedale Dairy, Swift and
Company's plant, and the estab-
1ishment of the City Hay and
Grain Company.
Capt. j. L. Gregory, of the Nor
= folk fire department, was among
the first of the firemen to be in
jured. Despite painful burns on
: the face and eyes, he remained
on duty for more than two hours,
resisting efforts of fellow firemen
to take him to the hospital.
Chemicals Blind Firemen
His condition is said to be
serious.
Exploding chemicals in the
:. burning structures blinded more
than a dozen firemen and volun-
teer firefighters.
The fire was headed for the
heart of the business district
when it was checked. At one
time firemen despaired for the
safety of the downtown area.
Dense clouds of smoke pour
ing from the burning buildings
and huge spark-laden pieces Of
wood hampered the firemen
when they were thrown over the
area. Sparks started many fires
in locations distant from the
central fire.
Power Gables Burned
An hour after the fire started,
1t burned through power cables
and threw the entire district into
absolute darkness. Temporary
floodlights were used in a small
sector of the fire-fighting front.
The steamship David, jr., a
small coastwise trader. burned
to the waters edge as she lay at
her wharf. Other steamers were
warped out into deep water and
crews placed on the decks with
cloths soaked in water. When
sparks fell on them they were
rapidly extinguished.

PROBLEMS FACED
 TO AID JOBLESS

Two unemployment problems face the industrial and agricultural mid west this winter. The first and per haps most serious is in aiding the jobless in the larger cities such as Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland.
 The other is providing work and relief in some rural sections hard hit this summer by grasshopper in- festation and drought. The farm areas needing relief most are found in South Dakota and Nebraska.
 To meet the situation variety of relief projects are put forth. They range from doles to sports events for charity; from public construction programs to public subscription; from efforts to increase odd jobs to preserving surplus crops. In addition many farmers have bartered grain and fruit.
 Relief measures in Illinois are concentrated in Cook county, which contains Chicago and where it is estimated there are nearly 100000 jobless. The largest item in the pro gram of Gov. Louis L. Emmerson's relief commission is sS,8O0,000 to be raised in Cook county by public solicitation.
 Indianas unemployed are esti- mated at 17O,OO0 by pr. John H. Hewitt, director of the state unem- ployment commission. The state high way commission has taken over SIS more miles of state roads for second ary maintenance. A fund of $75O, coo is available for the project and about 5000 will get work.
 Plans for winter relief in Iowa are principally local.
 A state commission has been nam ed in Michigan by Gov. Wilber M, Brucker to cooperate with federal and local relief agencies. Sena tor James Couzens has offered Detroit S1, 100000 if the city raises an ad- ditional $9,O0O.O0O. and this will be attempted
 In Minneapolis, Minn., a move ment is under way to form a ''job- a-week" club through which citizens will be called upon to furnish odd jobs.
 Cities and towns in Nebraska have launched public improvement programs, while the state is prepar- ing to aid farmers facing an emer- gency because of grasshopper dam age, drought and loss of cattle through anthrax.
 Gov. Charles W. Bryan has set aside about $150,O0O for an emer- gency roadbuilding program to be

TASTE.TEST PROVES SUPERIORITY OF
 ROASTING METHOD
Hills Bros. Coffee, Roasted Differently, Has Flavor No
 Other Coffee Has

To drink Hills Bros. Coffee, after you have been drinking other brands, is certainly a revelation. It has a marvelously rich, satisfying flavor that no other coffee has.
 This delicious difference is due to the way Hills Bros. Coffee is roasted. Instead of roasting in bulk, as others do, Hills Bros. use a process they invented and pat ented. It's called Controlled Roasting.
 As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow {. .. a little at a time so the delightful, unvarying flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by this patented process that roasts evenly, continuously q little at time. Temperature and flow of coffee through the roasters are al- ways under control. (Hence the name Controlled Roasting.") A uniform roast, such as no bulk method equals, is absolutely as- sured. A perfect, unvarying flavor results in every pound.
 This delicious coffee comes to you in vacuum cans. Air, which makes coffee go stale, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, "air- tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can't go stale! Order some today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trade mark on the can.

 The Reliance Shrimp Go. shipped 1900 lbs. of fresh shrimp meat on the Northland Sunday.
 The highest price of the year was paid for halibut in Seattle last week, and as the fishing season for hali- but closes this week and with most of the halibut fleet tied up for the winter the prices are expected to hold firm all this week. Seattle prices were 16 and cents per lb. and Prince Rupert was paying 15 and cents.

Territorial Notes

The death of Father George Woodley in a fall from a cliff near Chickaloon, Monday. October 12, calls to mind, says the Fairbanks News-Miner, the fact that it was just a year before to the day that Father Philip Delon. Father Walsh and Ralph Wien met death at Kot- zebue in the crash of the mission plane Marquisette Missionary. The coincidence becomes stronger when it is remembered that Father Wood ley came to Alaska with an airplane to replace the one which was wreck ed in northwestern Alaska.
