the business center of the community.
1t was here that the loss Of life was
the greatest.
Squarely facing the rushing tempest

been necessary to act quickly in the
matter of the burial of the bodies, ow-
ing to the fact that so many are dead
and the facilities for proper prepara-

st. Mary's and the Congregational
church, which have been made the,
principal morgues, were thronged With
visitors yesterday, but as rapidly as,
the bodies could be identified and pre-
pared for burial they were hurried to-
the cemetery. In all services were
held for twenty-five dead at st. AIary's:
church during the day, and by night
ten funerals had been held from the
Congregational church. -.... =.
In spite of this large number of
dead still lie in the two temporary
morgues. Many of the bodies remained
in the basement of st. Mary's church,
and these We're brought up as rapidly
as place could be made for them.
The people who thronged the little
house of worship had come prepared
to witness unusual scenes, but they
were not fortified against the terrible
manifestations of grief that were on
every side. Men and women with
SCARED faces and blackened eyes chung

successfully relieve the Immediate dis

variety, has been received in abund-

it was said that some would spoil be-
fore it could be used. Blankets and

a necessity as there are few fires and
many have to sleep in buildings that

close of business last night the cash
contribution in hand amounted to $4,-

signments of flour, canned goods and
clothing have been received, most of it
from st. Paul. Notification has been
received that other shipments have
been made. Yet the needs of the peo-
pie are great so that 1t will require

The state board of fish and game
commissioners of California contem-

sea lions, which are getting too numer-

The sea lion has no commercial value.
The average weight of these animals
is about 1900 pounds, but there are
not few of the old males that will
turn the scales at two tons. When the
salmon, which tie state and nation are
propagating at great expense at the
several hateherfes on the coast, start
to run to the spawning grounds the
sea lions hasten to the bays and rivers
to destroy the spawn-laden fish. Much

poises Of no commercial value, but
which destroy enormous quantities Of
