TOWN WIPED OUT
Travelling Man Describes the Situation
at San Francisco, -

That help is needed by the travelling
men who are stranded in California by
reason Of the earthquake can be judged
from the following letter from W. H.
Shelly Of Minneapolis council, No. So,
who was the California representative
Of the Red Wing Advertising company.
He does not make any appeal, and sim
ply writes to be except in good stand
ing until he can get on his feet, as
he expresses it. He says:
"The@ earthquake, followed by the
fire: has literally wiped out the city,
both business and homes-not a dollar
to buy, a thing, if it was possible to
buy: What little stores are left on the
outskirts have been taken possession Of
by the government authorities under
military law: The government has es-
tablished distributing points where
people stand in line blocks long for
ratlons. Alive and well; thank God for
that. especially when so many lost their
lives. -
