FALSE IMPRESSIONS PASSING.

Before the fire that destroyed San Francisco and
nagnhed out OF all proportion the earthquake that
preceded IL California was enjoying an extraor-
binary era OF development and settlement Set
tiers and tourists were pouring into the southern
part OF the State by the thousands Throughout
the San Joaquin Valley irrigation projects only
recently developed were being taken advantage of
by thousands who were seeking to establish for
themselves self-supporting homes. In the valley of
the Sacramento two great rrigating canals had
just been completed and thousands in the East
and Middle West were contemplating locating in
the northern part OF the State Smaller valleys.
Ike Santa Clara and Sonoma, had entered upon an
unprecedented era OF prosperity and development
San Francisco, the metropolis naturally felt the
beneficial effects of it ALL and this with the increase
OF Pacific commerce that followed the Spanish and
the Russo Japanese wars, had stimulated in this
city all lines OF enterprise, industry and trade
Then came the fire which swept the city. rem
dered homeless tens of thousands and gave en-
pbasis to earthquake the effects of which would
otherwise have been promptly overcome Losses

Naturally thousands who were planning to come to
California held back With the State in ruins from
the Mexican border to the Oregon line, as was re-
ported and generally believed there was nothing
else for the intending settlers to do
CuriOusly enough those sections of, the State
that had had no fire, which had experienced no
damage from earthquake, suffered the most. South
ern California and the San Joaquin Valley, where
the earthquake if felt at ALL was so slight as to he
scarcely noticed, found their tourist travel shut
of and the tide OF incoming settlers stayed In the
Sacramento Valley, where little damage was done
at Sacramento City, for example, not so much
as chimney was displaced or a wall cracked
large plans for providing settlers with homes had
to be temporarily suspended. All this did Cali
fcrnia great injustice but injustice which all could

ton OF affairs became known in the East

DON'T WASTE WATER.

The warning of the Spring Valley Water Com
pany not to waste water should not go unheeded.
A large force of wor kmen have been employed by
the company along the line of the Parcitos con-
dut, which is damaged to a greater extent than
was estimated by the water companys engineers.
This conduit carried the main supply OF water for
the Western Addition, and when in good repair
was operated at almost capacity.
Owing to the increase OF population in the un-
burned district since the fire, the consumption of
water has been nearly twice what it was before the
conaagration Many leaks have been discovered
in the auxiliary mains and these are being stopped
fast reported. But the great waste comes
from carelessness in allowing faucets to run and
from automatic lawn sprnklers. Water for garden
sprinkling should be used only when absolutely
necessary, for it would be stunning blow to San
Francisco were she to suffer another fire.
The fire department reports that there is not
much water left in the Pacific Heights reservoir,
nor is the Francisco-str reserve anywhere near
normal Usually these two reserve supplies are
kept for fire purposes only but part of the water in
the Francisco-Sreet reservoir has been used for do
mestic purposes, the district is nearly swept
clean OF buildings and there is not any particular
danger of fire i'll its immediate vicinity Pacific
Heights reservoir is regular fire reserve supply
but nearly all of the water in the basin has been
used and only few thousand gallons remain
1t would be we'll for residents of the Western
Addition to shut off all running water on their
premises in OF alarm of fire in their district
that the fire engines be given the full benefit of the
water pressure. There is no. occasion for unneces-
sary alarm, but until the Pilarctos conduit is in
rstclass repair it is just as we'll to use extreme

discovered has not slipped off into the sea, while
San Diego, they know, was not even shaken,
much less swallowed up in a tidal wave. In word,
the East is beginning to realize that California IS
the same prosperous desirable California that 1t
was before the fire.
The practical results of this change of opinion
are now noticeable. On Sunday, for example ten
Nebraskans seeking locations for body OF their
friends who contemplate moving to California ar
rived at Gridley They report that in Nebraska the
earthquake has subsidized and that in Septem-
Der large number of Nebraskans will move to the
State. Similar reports coming from all parts
of the Middle West and East Before another year
rolls round with conditions in California better
understood than they now, the rich resources
of the State and the unquestionable advantages
that the State offers home-seekers will be drawing
settlers as before the fire.

Mr.. f. asked what 1t was.
You are addicted to the evil habit

Mr.. F. explained that he saw no evil
in IL. but taking a large pipe from his
pocket. said:
In Difference to your choice. gentle
men, 1 promise you this: AS soon as
have smoked the plug I hold in nv
hand l will cease smoking forever"

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSURED.

Since the fire the fact has developed that no
matter how careful the average man may be in his
other business transactions, when it comes to IN
surance he apparently abandons all business pre-
caution. 1t is now known that the man who read
his policy was the exception while those who read
ii with the care and understanding they would
give a bond or a trust deed which they about
10 sign were fewer still When discussion of the
earthquake clause came up, the average man had
to consult his policy to find if earthquake provi-
siOns were embodied in it. Although practically
all policies contain the falling wall" clause, it is
not probable that one IN of the insured knows
that such clause appears in his policy, much
less understands its import Far from ascertaining
the ability of the companies pay in OF loss,
the conditions under which payments would be
made hundreds OF the insured did not much as
know the names Of the companies with which they
had entered into important contracts. The loss OF
their policies left such persons helpless. They
knew that they were insured, but they did not
know with whom
The same extraordinary carelessness has been
shown in life insurance. Men ordinarily careful
and in their business dealings have continued
TO pay premiums year after year without attempt
ing to find out whether the premiums were unreas-
onablv large. or who was handling them. or how
they were being administered. As a result enor-
nous sums accumulated in the hands OF life insur-
ance managers, to be productive later on OF abuses
such were exposed at the investigation OF the
New York companies. Had the insured exercised
the same care in dealing with the life insurance
companies they practiced in other business
transactions had they informed themselves OF the
nature OF the business they were engaged in there
would have been life insurance scandals for the
abuses would never have been permitted to de
velop-
While FIRE insurance has not been the subject OF
the abuses has life insurance the careless
ness OF the insured their lack OF understanding of
insurance methods, have made possible an admin
istratOn reckless that in the present emergency
II IS found that great fire can seriously affect
the value OF large number OF policies not in the
city OF the fire alone but throughout the world In
deed, comparatively few policies left unaffected
When IT IS considered that similar fire in any OF
the large cities of Europe or America would have
had the effect, the weakness of the system
becomes apparent.
The only way to place insurance, fire or life on
business basis IS to apply business methods to it.
This is for the insured to do. If the insured de-
mand sound insurance he will be furnished sound
insurance If he be content with haphazard meth
DDS haphazard methods will prevail The insured
cannot disclam all responsibility for the unsats-
factory condition in which in the emergency in
SuranCe is found
