Escapes Entirely.
President Spear and Chief
Wharfinger WelCh
Are on Duty.

The great earthquake and conhagra-
ton left the water front, the wharves,
shipping and much warehouse space
practically uninjured, and this part Of
San Francisco's business will be first
to assume normal aspect. Not sin
gle vessel was injured, and only two
or three wharyes were damaged, and
these by the falling Of the sheds. The
approaches to the wharves may be put
In good shape again very quickly.
The facts here mentioned are not
generally known throughout the city.
True, the ferry depot tower was
strained by the temblor, and at first 1t
was feared that 1t might fall. but the
conditions at the big depot have re-
manned good and hundreds Of thou
sands OF people have come and gone
through the building. Ships have also
come and gone at all the wharves. and

weeks past. Liners, unmindful Of the
temblor and fire, continue to discharge
and load freight. Tramp steamers are
preparing to go about their business,
and a fleet Of sailing vessels only
awaits assistance from stevedores and
longshoremen to be in regular service
again.
President Spear OF the Harbor Com
mission and Chief Wharfinger Welch
are on duty, and find little difficulty In
transacting their business.
The military authorities this morn
ing returned to the State Harbor Com
mission full authority over docks.

the two departments will continue as
heretofore to assist one another In
every way calculated to expedite the
unloading and handling Of food sup

front district and the 1ackies from the
Boston and other vessels Of the Pacific
squadron, perfect order has been main
tanned In this, the most congested por-
