right line. Let us open roads into our
| mountains, broad macadamized roads
for autos, and have wide, sweeping
avenues planted with beautiful, flow

the thing that is different from that to
which they are accustomed.
"We met many, many people who
were coming to Honolulu, Mrs Carter
aud |, and although many got out of
California after the earthquake, | am
of the opinion that most of them will
be back there next winter They have
to go somewhere. We were at Del
Monte when the shake came, ms YOU
know, and although it disturbed the
people of the hotel greatly, we were not
worried. Indeed, we went back to bed
again after the first shock, and did not
get up until breakfast time.
BEAUTIFUL DEL MONTE.
"Dcl Monte is very, very beautiful.
If they only had our gorgeous flower.
ing trees, the grounds would be perfect.
And the golf links are among the best
] have ever seen. They are made par
ticularly beautiful by the wild field
flowers, which we do not have here. /
gathered bouquet of twenty-one varie-
ties of these, and it was very pretty
bouquet indeed. The links are in charge
of Jimmie Melville, the teacher so well
known in Honolulu, and he has more
pupils than he can attend to and is do
ing wonderfully well.
"The disaster! You cannot realize
it! No one can, who was not in the
midst of it. A gentleman of San Fran.
cisco who lived through the days of
fire, tells me that he can never get out
of his brain the sound of the tramp,
tramping of people, moving on from see
ton to section as their houses and
places of refuge burned, and the con.
slant scraping and scratching of trunks
and bundles over the pavements as they
went, dragging all that they could save
Of their belongings behind them.
81 was in San Francisco ten days
after the fire, and they were beginning
to clean up. Railway tracks run every
where through the ruins, the waste
debris is gathered up and hauled upon
dumps under which the tracks run,
dumped into the ears and hauled away
to FIJI in Mission Basin. There are tenn
porary stores everywhere, and the first
business establishment on Market street
is the Regal shoe store, about opposite
the Call building. They leveled Off the
them, and put up shed.
AN AWFUL DISASTER.
"There was nothing left in San
Francisco, the burned district that
would burn. Iron and glass were
melted, and lamp posts leaned over like
Christmas candles.
"a remarkable thing was the way in
which the Signal Service men followed
the fire with their wires, keeping Gen
eral Funston in constant touch with the
burning city. The whole place was II
network Of fallen wires. Attend Of the
FIRE, behind IL, and right through it,
these brave fellows worked, taking any
wire that came and following II over
and under and through as long as they
could, and then connecting with another
and 50 keeping up their connections
"The auto, too, was Of great assist
anee, They drove them over piles of
debris, aud through the blocked-up
streets, regardless ~ obstacles, and So
saved many who might otherwise have
never escaped
