OAKLAND CARES
FOR THOUSANDS
SHELTER AND FOOD FUR
NISHED FOR HOMELESS
Order Issued by General Funston
Making It Impossible for ANY,
one to Enter San Francisco
at This Tlme
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
OAKLAND, April 19.-Oakland, the
largest suburb of San Francisco, to-
night housed and fed practically $4,000
refugees of the fire stricken city across
the bay.
All day a stream Of human beings
has poured from the ferries, everyone
carrying some sort of hand baggage
and other articles saved from the con-
hagration.
Thousands of Chinese, men, women
and children, all carrying luggage to
the limit of their strength and fleeing
from their quarters that have long been
one of the show places for San Fran
cisco visitors, mingled with the crowds
and poured into the limited Chinese
section Of Oakland.
Soldiers Guard Doors
Thousands besieged the telegraph Of
fees and the rush becamesso great that
soldiers were stationed at the doors
to keep them in line and allow only as
many to pass as could find standing
room at the counters.
During the greater part of the day
sfhere has been a throrg Of people loiter-
Ing around the Seventh street depot.
Many of them are residents of Oak
land who have no work to do and who
are simply killing time.
Some of them are refugees from San
francisco who have no place to go and
are satisfied to stand around, taking
part in the scene of excitement attend
ing the arrival OF trains.
No One Can Enter City
This morning this sign, In large char
kcterS, was hanging In the vestibule of
the Seventh street depot:
Southern Pacific Railroad company,
ONCE of the superintendent, Oakland
pier.
ITO agents: At $40 o'clock a. m. an
order from General Funston, the COM
read as follows:
DO not furnish passage to q single
person to San Francisco until further
Iorders.'
1--WE cannot handle them.
(Signed) ''W. r. SCOTT,
q Superintendent"
Why Order Was Issued
This refusal was inspired by the idea
of keeping San Francisco from becom-
ing congested with people.
Every train from San Francisco
brings hundreds of refugees, carrying
luggage and bedding In large Quanti-
ties. Many Of the women are bare
headed and all of them show fatigue
and the result of sleeplessness and ex-
posure to the chill air of last night.
Hundreds Of these people line the
streets in the heart of town, waiting
for something to turn up or someone to
come alonge to provide them with shell
ter.
Early this morning representatives of
the Oakland general relief committee
appeared ON the streets and especially
at the Broadway depot.

Today we want to tell you Of the

You see we do such an enormous

on a small margin Of profit. To sum
up we can sell pianos for very little
more than the small dealer buys them.
Thus it is that we can offer you at

serviceable piano. sold by the little
dealer for $500, and as much more as
he can get.
This piano becomes your own at CSC

The Allen Creek Dredge

The Allen Creek dredge, un-
der the personal supervision OF
Mr.. Pollard, of the firm of Pol
lard & Campbell, is progress
ing very favorably. Yesterday
afternoon Freely Myers was
kind enough to take us out to
the dredge, that is, as near as
we could get to it on account of
the water and ice. We could
see the working of the machine
very plainly and in timing the
shovel, discovered that they
were taking out three buckets
of earth per minute, that is six
yards in a minute, which is
considered good work. Of
course they do not work that
fast all the time, but they keep
going and do not waste any
valuable moments. They are
now working on b. Coles farm
about three-quarters of a mile
from the south side. They will
reach the main road on the
south side of the above farm in
about 20 days if nothing de-
lays them. When they reach
that point one can easily visit
the dredge, and we would ad-
wise all those who have the
time to run out and see the
workings of the machine.
Practically the exact location
of the dredge is two and three
quarters miles north of the
railroad track which runs by
the fair grounds.
While driving out one could
not help but wonder what kind
of crops will be raised when
the bitches are completed for
there is no question that the
land on the bottoms is the most
fertile in the state, owing to
the fact that the soil is nearly
all made. The farmers of the
bottoms will never know the
value of their land until this
work is done and the surplus
water drained off, and we pre-
dict that there will be so many
improvements made during the
coming five years that the ter
ritory will be hardly recogniz-
able.
