OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE
THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

Interest in the matter of cleaning
up the town in accordance with the
suggestions and recommendations of
the Civic Improvement League is well
nigh universal and will result in much
good in the matter of stimulating a
greater pride in municipal affairs and
in the physical appearance of the city.
On every hand is heard expressions
of determination to plant trees on
Arbor Day and make the occasion one
of real moment and value in the his
tory of the community, in fact. the
movement for cleaner city has be-
come a sort of contagion in which all
are threatened with infection. At no
season of the year is the time more
opportune for planting trees, putting
in lawns and cleaning property of the
rubbish and accumulations of the win
ter than at the present, and to take
part in such movement as the one
to be inaugurated here tomorrow is
no less n matter of economy than of
public spirit.
The committee in charge of the
cleaning up movement for Arbor Day
has been indefatigable in its efforts
to awaken the public conscience and
to 1t is due the thanks of the commun-
ity for the success of it's enterprise
The task of arousing the property
owners to the necessity of beautifying
their holdings will be much less diff
ficult next year than 1t Is now, as by
that time they will be able to see
what may be accomplished by united
and concerted action.

useless fence tear II down tomorrow

The city of San Francisco was
wrecked by an earthquake at 5:15
O'Clock Wednesday morning. Thous-
ands of buildings were destroyed and
damaged and the loss of life at five
O'Clock last evening was reported to
be more than eight thousand.
Fire followed the earthquake. It
first broke out on Market street where
the buildings are mostly frame and
tenements. A fierce wind carried the
flames to adjoining property and add
ed to the horror of the situation. The
water mains bursted with the first
but dynamite buildings and attempt
in this way to stop the progress of
the fire.
There were three distinct shocks
during the morning. The third was
the most disastrous
The property loss is estimated at
more than $1O0,000,o 900.
The third shock cut of all telegraph
communication with the outside
world The reports, therefore, are
very unsatisfactory.
People in Canon City who have
friends in San Francisco, have been
unable to reach them with messages.
Neither have any messages been re-
ceived from friends there.
The latest reports last night were
that most Of the damage was along
the water front. While many of the
hotels were damaged. up to the time
the telegraph wires we're cut out no
loss Of life was reported from them.
The modern buildings stood the shock
well. Only the lofty business build
ings and the old and cheaper struc-
lures collapsed. While the damage
