In 1916 an American mun-ofwar un-

Montgomery. entered the harbor and
hoisted the stars and stripes over the
town. Mexico, which succeeded Spain
as the owner Of California, was then
at war with the United states, and the
act of Commodore Montgomery ended
her dominion over San Francisco.
Montgomery appointed Lieutenant
Washington A. Bartlett to be Frisco's
frst alcalde or mayor, under the new
regime. Under Spanish aud Mexican
rule the town was sleepy, unprogress-
i've place, but with tile coming of Amer
leans and the discovery OF gold in lS4S

After the first rush to the gold dig
gings the town began TO regain its lost
ground and ere long the influx Of gold
seekers gave quite an impetus to its
growth. The town was Incorporated

same year the state was admitted to
the Union and when the steamer Ore
gOn brought the news there was no
tclegraphic communication IN those
days-businesS was entirely suspended
and the entire population rushed to the
wharfs to welcome the harbinger. The
town had abaut 10000 inhabitants at
that time, and when the people were
Informed that the signal flags Of the

America "a universal shout arose from

In it's early history the city suffered
from several disastrous fires. Between
December, 1S49, and June, 1851, six
contiagrations played havoc with the
growing young town. Better buildings
were planned and several fire compa-

IN the right direction. 1t was also dis
covered that the fires were started by
criminals who protited by the cOnfu-

This fact and the inefticiency and
corruption of the city government led
large number of citizens to organ
lie the famous vigilance committee
which ruled the place in 1851. Quite a
number of crooks were lynched by
the committee. others were driven out,

PRESENT WORST EVER KNOWN

"NHE recent disastrous earthquake
extending over so large part
III of the Pacific coast region and
wrecking such an extensive
section OF the city of San Francisco
was not the first of these catastrophes
known In the western metropolis,
though by all odds the most damaging.
For many years the municipal au
thorities refused to permit tall build
ings in the city because OF the fear OF
earthquakes. several OF which had al
ready been experienced Finally the
Introduction was removed, however,
and a number Of skyscrapers resulted.
Prior to 1890 there was hardly
building in. excess of five stories and
only few OF that height. Today there
Is one eighteen stories high and quite
q number from twelve TO fourteen
stories.
In the spring of 1898, about 10 O'clock
one night, the city had u seismic shock
that put to test it's high structures. 1t
was the worst earthquake since 1868,
when for eight or nine blocks on the
main street MARKET the ground was
cracked open several lncneS.
In the upheaval of 1893 the tall build
ings We're given fearful shaking, and
some Of their occupants were made
dizzy and. sick. The structures We're
uninjured, and ever since that time
there has not been so much question
of the safety of high buildings of mod
ern construction-tha is, buildings OF
structural iron frame and facings OF
pressed brick, terra Gotta or stone.
1t was NJ. n. De Young the proprie-
tor and editor of the Chronicle, who
was the pioneer In this respect. He
met with opposition from the munich
pal authorities fourteen years ago when
he decided to erect ten story house
for his newspaper. 1t was believed to
be dangerous undertaking because of
the earthquake fear, but Mr.. DE Young
won out and thereby set an example or
enterprise to other wealthy men who
have since built more tall buildings.
For instance, ID. o. Mills, the New
York banker, who owns Il great deal
of San Francisco property, has one of
the talest and finest structures In the
city

the country as the sugar king and the

Other imposing edllces, many OF
which have been more or less severely
injured. are the Hotel st. Francis, the
Palace hotel, the Hall Of Justice, the
Mutual Bank building the Pacific Mu-
tunl Life building and the Callaghun
butiling. The greatest property dam
age resulted In the manufacturing dis
trict and the greatest loss Of life In
the tenement house district.
The chief street of the city Is Mar
ket, running diugonullY for many miles.
The destruction Of many of the depart
ment stores and other business blocks
IN Market and Mission streets was al
most complete. Fire added 10 the bor.
rors of the situation, and, as the water
mains had been burst by the shock.
the fire department was helpless The
flames ate their way along Market
street, and other fires started in differ
eut parts of the city.
AS the earthquake occurred but a
little after > o'clock in the morning,

earthquake two Of the most prominent
corners IN the city We're occupied by
gambling dens One of them, known
as the cafe Royal, has been verltable
gold mine for its proprietors.
The California supreme court has
rendered decision TO the effect that
the game Of draw poker Is not Il game
OF chance, but involves Judgment and
other elements as well as chance or
luck. and because of this decision these
places are permitted to be maintained.
They nre frequented by hard look
ing crowd of men, and many scandals
are told associated with these places
A visitors life is probably safe In these
resorts but his money Is not. 1t Is said
that the son OF the premier OF British
Columbia was heeced OF $500 in the
Cafe Royal Il few years ago. He lost
$1,000 IN cash but stopped payment on
$1,000 IN checks
San Francisco has forty-seYen square
miles OF territory or about 10000
acres, within the municipal limits. Tho
finest residences are on Mob hill and
Pacific heights, both of which districts
command magnificent views OF the
bay and the Golden Gate. The city

1t has been asserted that San Fran
cisco Is the most cosmopolitan city in
the world, and by cosmopolitan is
meant II population from all parts OF
the world. Not long ago the records
Indicated that 43 per cent Of the peO-
pie of the city were born in foreign
lands. not in two or three different
countries, but in practically every land
under the sun. According to the ma
tional census reports for 1890, San
Francisco had total population of
0S,997. or these 1T2l9G were native
born and 12G.Sl1 We're born outside OF
the United states. Fully half the
grown persons in the community re-
moved To California from alien lands
while IL large percentage of the other
half and of the general body of chill
dren were of foreign narentage. In
1900 San Francisco had population
OF 342,7 of which 81 per cent was
foreign born.
San Francisco has long been famed
as one of the wide open" cities of the
United States. As in the days OF
1910, the gambler devoteS himself to
his vocation with little Interference

caught by the falling roofs and walls,
and in the poorer districts the tene-
ments collapsed like eggshells, crush

cases fire finished the work of death,

The track OF one railroad was de-
pressed four feet or more for a dis

The destruction OF all telegraph wires,
except one belonging to the Postal
union, made it almost impossible for
the stricken city to communicate with
the outside world. The severe injury
to the Western Union aud Postal Of
fees, also the Associated Press, greatly
added to the difficulty.
The practical destruction of six or
eight blocks, coupled with the immense
loss of life and damage 10 property
throughout San Francisco and the en-
tire coast region makes this the worst
earthquake disaster in American his
tory. exceeding even the historic
Charleston earthquake Of n few years
! ago,
San Francisco has suffered from
many slight seismic shocks one Of
them occurring about year ago. At
that time long article appeared in
one of the papers, signed by pro-
fessor in one of the obseryatorles near
by, stating that there was no partlc-
ular danger from these tremors Of the
earth's surface, The coast region, ac-
cordng TO this writer, was newer than
parts Of the country farther east and
was therefore settling, lie said peo-
Pile should feel no alarm, ms nothing
serious was liable to happen.

Golden Gate region has been doing

The NEST severe earthquake San
Francisco has known prior 10 the pres
ent one was III 1868. Quite little
damage resulted, though nothing re
motely comparable TO this, 1t was the
1868 shakeup that was made famous
by Mark Twain. The most surprising
thing the genial Mark saw at that time
was the opening up OF the ceiling of
his room, the lips OF the orihce work
ing to and fro like mouth and brick
slipping through and held in suspen-
sion, like one lone tooth on the jaw OF
an old man,
The last earthquake that occurred Ia
Ban Francisco was In January. 1900.
Several distinct shocks were felt early
In the morning, causing the vibration
of buildings all over the city, The
chief building affected was the St
Nicholas hotel. which was severely
shaken. The walls collapsed In GER
tain parts OF the structure, guests were
thrown out of their beds and furniture
was destroyed.
In 1904 there was a severe seismic
disturbance in Los Angeles, which was
