OAKLAND, Cal, April 26,-Conditions In
San Francisco are still looking up, The
restriction on entering the city is now
practically of. Entrance so far has boon
by pass from Gov. Pardee. since Gen,
Greedy asked that access he made free
again the passes have been given out
generally to all who appeared respectable.
By tomorrow the electric cars will be
running on Market street again. The
banks nave both a name and a local habi-
tation. They have found a row Of private
residences on Laguna street, a thorough
fare heretofore a stranger to commerce,
and from the windows of these houses
flags proclaim that the Crocker- Woolworth,
the Nevada and all the others are doing
business within.
It is certain that there will be more than
a little change in the character of the Streets.
Van Ness avenue has been what Fifth
avenue is to New York or Commonwealth
avenue to Boston. Van Ness ave nue is
clear of its fine houses now; most Of them
were blown up in the last stand which with
the help of the west wind stopped the fire;
but it is crowded with temporary stores
and this widest street Of San Francisco
may remain an uptown business street.
1t will depend largely Upon the faithful
meas with which the Burnham plans are
carried out.
Tn Clearing House, representing tbs
local commercial banks, has been meeting
every day. To-day they arranged a plan
for paying of depositors for temporary
needs on a proportionate scale, each with
drawal to be not more than $500 Cor
respondents Of the several banks In Lon.
don, Paris and New York will transfer
certain sums to their credit. The Mint
will be the cashiers window for all the
banks. The checks will be made out In
the usual form, indorsed by the cashier,
and taken TO the Mint, where they will he
cashed. Superintendent Of the Mint Leach
says that he will cooperate in this as soon
as he can get enough clerks. In bank
clerks, as in every other line of expert
employment, there is a shortage. Thess
men are busy, or have been, making their
families comfortable The papers aud
books, the blank checks, and all the rest OF
the machinery of banking remain looked
up in the vaults, cooling off until such time
as the bankers dare open them
WILLING TO HELP BANKS OUT.
The State Bankers Association assembled
in akland this afternoon. 1t adopted
resolutions of confidence in the banks Of
san Francisco. and pledged cooperation
and support.
Before this meeting there were SIMS
roas from the interior about the e~xtensi,n
of the period Of legal holidays. Farmers
want money about this time of the year.
and as they have always regarded their
deposits in the San Francisco banks NJ
available, it was thought that they might
file a strong protest. "
But the representatives OF the Interior
banks we're all in favor of helping out the
Duil TIdilClsCO Dhllhs, eNtu dl bOWt en-
pense and trouble to the interior. From
the steady deposits in the Oakland banks
yesterday it appears that the public has
every confidence in the banks.
OAKLAND FOR A BOOM.
Oakland expects a boom. With the
heavy shipment of materials, which must
begin with the rebuilding, property close
TO the Oakland waterfront will be val
liable; even in this time there has been Q
rise in the value Of such property.
MILITIA STILL ON DUTY.
Still the National Guard is not withdrawn,
although requests are pouring in on Gov.
Pardee. Perhaps when the $500 Regulars
ordered here by the War Department ar
rives in San Francisco, the city may see the
last Of the rather inefficient National Guards
men for a time. 1t came out to-day that
Col. I. w. Simons, father Of one Of the three
men under arrest for killing H. G. Tilden.
had a signed permission for his son and
himself to act as volunteer patrolmen,
signed by Col. Walter Kelly, commander Of
the First California.
Col. Kelly admits this. He says in q
formal statement that he needed the men
and that on the night Tilden was killed
he had given orders to watch for an auto
mobile which had been carrying hooters
about the city. While the Colonel's ex-
PLANTATION Ia a reasonable defence, the knowl-
edge that he o~ountenanoed these vigilantes
has raised still moro protest against the
National Guard. However, Gov. Parde0
seems to like the guard.
