PEN PICTURE OF SAN
FRANCISCO BEFORE QUAKE

San Francisco has a population of
hearty $50, 600, which includes, PROBABLY
$1,000 Chinese.
The city has an area of about fifty
square miles. occupying the end of a
tongue of land, which has the ocean on
on the other.
The site is hilly. Most of the emin-
ences within the city limits are covered
with fine residences. Communication
is afforded by a system of cable and
electric railways, which extend in all
directions from the ferries at the foot
of Market street.
Entrance TO the bay, which extends
Into the and about forty miles and has
a width of from six to twelve miles, is
through the famous Golden Gate.
Has Monopoly of Commerce.
The city. because of the excellence of
Its harbor. has virtually a monopoly
Of the of the Pacific coast
OF the United States. Fifty ocean
steamships ply regularly from San
Francisco to the orient and ports TO
the south and north.
The exports from the city aggregate
$4,000, 600 annually. The city was
founded by the Spaniards in III. Its
career was ~unimportant until the dis
coVery of gold IN 1S49 was followed by
the great rush of 40. Inside of a year
the population increased from 1000 to
at least 100000.
Three great fires in 1850 swept the
city and destroyed hundreds of wooden
buildings. To this day most of the
dwellings are of wood, but there are
many fine business structures of steel,
stone and brick. San Francisco vies
with any city of its size in the country.
Included in The public edifi. es are
the custom house, the mint. sub-treas-
ury. city hall, stock exchange, and a
score Of theaters and places of a1nuse-
ment.
The Palace hotel, which contains
1000 rooms, and cost upwards of
S3.O0O,000, is the largest structure in
the city.
Is City of Churches.
There are 1875 churches and chapels,
two-thirds of which are Protestant and
the rest Catholic.
In schools the city leads other mu-
inequalities on the coast. The city
maintains siXty-five buildings. which

Der of educational institutions sup

"Nobb HILL" as the California street
hill is known, is crowned by the homes
Of the wealthiest and most prominent
citizens. There are houses there which
represent Investments of from S2,oo0,-
900 to $4,000, 900.

San ~Francisco's climate is ideal, the
summers being cool. OF the six or
more railroads that nave their termi-
nails in San Francisco only one enters
the city. The rest ferry their pas
sengers from Oakland. San Francisco
has been Incorporated as a city since
1850.

is Land of Earthquakes.
The history of California proves it
to be a land of earthquakes. The first
recorded disturbance occurred in 1890.
OF all the cities on the Pacific sea-
board san Francisco seems especially
Inflated. ffty-one earthquakes visited
that city from 1851 to 1865.
Sixteen times was the city shaken in
1865. the first quake occurring January
y and lasting seven hours, the last oc-
curing November "a and continuing
three hours and forty-five minutes.
The most severe shock of that year,
San Francisco's banner earthquake
year.. occurred October s and lasted
twelve hours and forty-six minutes.
No lives We're lost. though the shocks
We're the most violent since the annex-
alton of the territory. San Francisco.
San Jose. Stockton. Santa Cruz and
Sacramento felt them.
Have Seldom Been Fatal.
The disturbance which visited San
Francisco yesterday morning is eXcep-
tional in that many lives We're lost.
California earthquakes have been more
frequent than fatal.
Thirty years ago several men in San
Francisco were Killed by a falling brick
wall during q slight shock.
Outside of this. the total number of
victims of San Francisco earthquakes,
since the discovery of gold in 1S47. is
said to he five.

Against a Rainy Day

Prepare for the inevitable rainy days.
They're sure to come along In the au-
tumn.
Don't wait till one comes. but get
ready now.
See to it that you have trim, thick
soled wet-weather boots.
Don't try TO worry along without a
dark, serviceable and well-cut raincoat
or. better yet, IL you can afford IL,
have a waterproofed short skirt and
coat.
Provide yourself with n small, close
fitting hat, without feathers.
Have a good umbrella, neat gloves
and q dark petticoat, not silk.
II becoming, have a dash Of red
somewhere about your costume, I'm hat
umbrella or neckscarf.
A little bit Of red has much piquancy
on dull. wet day
It's worth a good bit to know that
you are prepared in this way, when you
wake up in the morning and hear the
rain pattering.
