Dynamite Saved the Day

The thunderous detonations to which
the terrified city yoiistened all that dread
full Friday night meant the salvation
of 100000 people. A million dollars
worth of property, noble residences
and worthless shacks, were blown to
drifting dust, but that destruction
broke the back of the fire and sent the
raging flames over their own charred
path.
The whole east side of Van Ness ave-
nue. from Golden Gate to Greenwich
was dynamted block deep, though
most of the structures stood untouched
by spark or cinder.
Not one charge failed Not one build
ing stood upon it's foundation. Not one
unlit torch was left pointing skyward
to carry the flames as through gigantic
chimneys in to the unburned district.
Unless some second malicious miracle
of nature reversed the direction of the
brisk wind the whole populous district
to the west, black with fleeing refugees
and unilluminated except by the dis
astrous glare from the burning water
front seemed safe by o'clock
Avenue Blown Flat
Van Ness avenue is fiat as the earth
on the east side. Every pound of gun
cotton did it's work and though the
ruins burned it was but feebly.
From Golden Gate avenue north the
| fire swept across the wide street in but
one place. That was the Claus
Spreckels place on the corner of Cali
forna street. There the flames were
wrilhing up the walls before the three
dynamters reached it. Yet they made
their way to the foundations. carrying
their explosives, despite the furnace
like heat.

swiftly and the fuse lit in such hurry
that the explosion was not quite sue
cessfu from the trained viewpoint of
the gunners.
But though the walls still stood. il
was only an empty victory for the fire
as bare brick and smoking ruins are
poor food for flames.
Van Ness Was Last Chance
Captain MacBride's dynamiting
squad realized that stand was hope
less except on Van Ness avenue. They
could have forced their explosives fur
ther in the burning section, but not a
pound of gun cotton could be or was
wasted The ruined block that met the
wide thoroughfare formed a trench
through the clustered structures that
the conhagration, wild as it was, could
not leap.
| Engines pumping prllle tlllouSH VI
Mason from the bay completed the
little work that the gun cotton had left,
but for four days the haggard-eyed
6remen guarded the flickering ruins.
| The desolate waste straight through
the heart of the city is a mute witness
to the most heroic and effective work
of the whole calamity.
Three men did this, and when their
work was over and what stood of the
city rested quietly for the first time
they departed as modestly as they had
| come.
They were ordered to save San Fran
cisco and they obeyed orders.

ners made history on that eventful
