ception, arose phOenix-like from their
ashes, paid a particularly hearty trib-
ute to the spirit shown by Puritan
Boston, where large sum was raised
in "a hours.
These towns, however, only illus
trate the attitude and actions of the
whole country.
The railroads leading out of San
Francisco, although themselves great
sufferers, practically placed their lines
at the disposal of the great throng OF
homeless people to enable them TO find
other homes, furnishing them with
free transportation, in many cases TO
the Atlantic coast. The subsistence
OF these homeless ones was arranged
for by local relief committees all along
the lines of travel. San Jose, town

Francisco is dangerous place be-
cause of earthquakes, the sturdy cid
zens, on the second morning after the
blow fell, began TO make plans to re-
build their city. The fires along Mar
ket street had not ceased to shoulder
when there was a turn in the tide OF
traffic that threaded among the ruins
that lay between the ferry house and
the western addition. BY Saturday
morning people were coming back. By
Monday they were coming back in
crowds, bringing back the household
goods that they had been fortunate
enough to save. Most of those Who
returned were able-bodied men. All
realized that so far as circumstances
permitted, women and children would
do well to leave San Francisco for
awhile, although there were many
women who declared that what was
good enough for their fathers, broth
ers, sweethearts or husbands would
do nicely for them. The brave wom-

sessed of such spirit will rebuild a
grander city than they have lost?
Whole Country Interested.
There is a material problem which
bears upon the rebuilding. 1t Is a
question of enlightened self-interest
that affects the entire country. II
San Francisco had persisted from the
earth, never to be rebuilt, scores Of
business houses and banks throughout
the United States would be dragged
down in the general wreck. They can
not afford to go, or the communities
in which they are situated to have
them go. Therefore, if for no other
reason, the business community of the
country will see that a great business
center is reestabllshed where San
Francisco stood. The railroads that

doubt there were some with plenty of

that they had rather feed many inn
