GOOD THING FOR TULSA
Mr.. Berry Makes Splendid Adver-
tising Proposition.

j. Y. Berry. worldwide known
newspaper man, is in the city and
made proposition to the CONNER
cial Club last night which, if taken
up, will be of incalculable value to
Tulsa.
Mr.. Berry proposes to write
story of Tulsa and her great re-
sources for publication in the Joplin
Globe, a paper which possesses a
circulation of $4,000 and in one of
the richest communities in the South
west. The price of a page in the
Globe is $3.50.
Mr.. Berry's idea is to write of
Tulsa in fascinating manner, for
which he is WE'LL capable, and make
his production one that will be read
with interest by everybody and
copied by the papers all over the
country. He will insert a map of the
city and surroundings, showing just
where are located the oil, gas, coal,
stone, etc., and not a line will he
tiresome reading and yet the whole
will be the most effective advertise
ment Tulsa has ever had.
The Commercial Club has placed
the matter in the hands of the add
vertlslng committee, and it is to be
hoped that the citizens will also
take hold with vim and tell to the
people with money living near by
the great advantages here for the
investment of money.
Mr.. Berry wrote the splendid arti-
Gle on the earthquake in Charleston
which appeared in Yesterdays issue
Of the World under the caption

FORMER CALIFORNIA SHOCKS.
Disturbances That Came Before San
Francisco Became City.

Earthquakes occurred in California
in 1865 and 1868. In San Francisco
the motion was east and west. Sew
eral buildings on Pine. Battery and
SansOme streets were thrown down
and others considerably damaged. The
principal damage was below Montgom-
cry street and among the old buildings
on "made" ground. The second earth
quake made it necessary to abandon
the custom house. which was badly
shattered in 1865
Both in 1865 and 1865 business in
the lower parts of the city was sus-
pended, the streets were thronged with
people. and great excitement prevail
ed. The parapets, walls and ehimneys
of many houses fell, causing loss of
life. and injury.
At Oakland, San Leandro, San Jose.
Redwood City and other neighboring
towns the shock was severe and many
buildings were damaged.

GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
Newspaper Man Says No Pen Can
Describe the Scene.

Oakland, Cal, April 20.-A news
paper man who crossed the bay this
afternoon gives the following graphic
description of the destruction of San
Francisco
"San Francisco is a city of ruins.
" There is no pen that can describe
the scene of desolation left in the
wake of the terrible disaster that has
overtaken it. What made San Fran
cisco famous is now nothing but heaps
of smouldering debris. Its magnifi-
cent buildings, its markets. its gay and
happy throngs, are no more. Its in
habitants are fleeing from it as though
from dread pestilence. The ferries
are taking its thousands at every trip.
The boats running in every direction
are loaded 10 the water line with flee
ing people.
East street presents scene the
rout of an army never equalled for its
disorder. Extending along the water
front it is the only means of access
to the ferries. 1t is the one highway
along which the rich and poor. old and
young. with their bedding and world
ly possessions tied up in every sort of
odd packages. are making their way.
The scene beggars description and the
pen of Hugo or Tolstoi would be
to give an adequate idea
Of it.
"And oh, the loss of it The aw-
full isolation and waste of what men
N this world set great store by. The
loss is untold and the effects will be
FAR reaching. The insurance companies
are threatened with loss probably
