THE EARTHQUAKE.

Portland, nearly 500 miles distant ana
its nearest sister in the great East is
Salt Lake City, 1000 miles away. Ihese
cities and all Of the less popuiateo
nearer towns are making sacrifices for
the destitute here, but it Is to the Dig
cities of the nation that San Francis
CO looks for relief.
The problem, tonight confronting the
CITY government and federal authori-
ties Is how to feed the multitude OF
destitute. Supplies are coming in by
the trainload but as yet the system Of
distribution is not in complete working
order.
At the Pacific Military reservation,
where probably $4,000 persons are
camped, affairs are conducted with mil
itary precision. The refugees stand
patiently in line and there Is not a
murmur. The people are brave and
patient and the wonderful order pre-
served by them has been Of great as
sistance.
In Golden Gate Park are camped
200, 900 persons. A huge supply station
has been established there and provis-
ions are dealt out. Many thousands
are camped in vacant lots and squares
scattered about the city and these are
the unfortunates that are hard to
reach.
