VALLEY ROAD
OPEN DIRECT
TO OAKLAND

At the dispatcher's office of the
Southern Pacific railroad at River
station it was announced last night
that the road over the valley route was
open clear through from this city to
Oakland pier, but over the coast line
it was impossible to move traffic far
ther north than Pajaro junction.
1t was also stated at the same time
that even over the valley line the dan
ger in running trains was extremely
great
In many places the roadbed has met
with unheavals as a result of the earth
quake shocks, and although the South
ern Pacific officials were having every
foot of trackage gone over most care
fully, they have not yet decided to run
trains on regular schedule.
The ferry system between Oakland
mole and San Francisco is completely
demoralized, owing to the crowding OF
the boats whenever one attempts to
leave the San Francisco side.
The regular schedule of boats between
the two sides of the bay has been
partially discontinued until the present
panic has quieted down.

SAN FRANCISCO
BANKS SOLID
AS GlBRALT TAR

1t Is agreed by local bankers that at
tention should be called to the proba-
bility of an announcement being made
that some OF the San Francisco banks
may not reopen today, or perhaps for
several days, but that it will signify
nothing more than risk of personal
danger.
w. C. Patterson of the First National
bank said last night:
1.-THE San Francisco banks are solid
as a rock. In fact they have more cash
than they know what to do with, and IL
any of them should fail to reopen to-
morrow it will be naturally because of
damaged buildings or risk of personal
injury.
"There Is nothing to be apprehended
from that source, and 1t is just as well
that the public be apprised Of this fact,
so that 1t may understand the situa-
tion.'

DEMOCRATIC
COMMITTEES
POSTPONE MEET

When the news Of the terrible dis
aster of San Francisco reached Los
Angeles yesterday the members Of the
state, county and city central Demo-
cratic committees were preparing to
meet in joint session to discuss the de-
tails of the coming campaign.
Full arrangements had been made
for the reception of the guests from
every quarter of the state and a BAN
quet was to have been held last night
in honor of the visitors and the party.
But all work was postponed in
definitely and the banquet was declared
off. At a special meeting of the three
committees at the Elks' hall yesterday
afternoon resolutions Of respect, COM
fort and sympathy were drawn UP and
sent north. Then the committees adj
journed and the many visiting poll
ticians from San Francisco and north
ern points hurried to the railroad Of
fices and secured tickets for the special.
Following are the resolutions drawn
up yesterday by the members of the
committees:
Whereas. one of those disasters
which are sometimes visited upon man
kind has tricken the city of San Fran
cisco and other communities, and
whereas we. as citizens Of California
are appalled, and grieved beyond ex-
preston, and In our hearts greatly
sympathize with our brothers thus af-
flicted,
"Be it resolved, that the Democratic
state central comInittee, the Los An
geles county Democratic central com
mittee and the Los Angeles city Demo-
cratic central committee in joint ses-
sion in the city of Los Angeles hereby
convey to our neighbors in San Fran
cisco and other communities affected,
our heartfelt sympathy In this, the
hour of general grief, pledging unto
them any assistance within our power.
-'And be it further resolved, that to
further express our sympathy and sor-
row, we do now adjourn.

Chairman state Democratic central
committee.

cratic central committee.

were the first to be posted in Los An
ge1es.
At no time did the large crowd leave
the sidewalk and street in front Of the
office. Everyone was eager to get the
first report of any late news from the
scene of the earthquake and the thou
sands came to The Herald office real
izing any news that should be given
out would be as reliable as could pos
sibly be obtained.
Anxious faces watched the man who
posted the bulletins, for few were the
men and women I'm the assembled
throng but that had friends and
relatives in the doomed city. Eager
and yet almost afraid were the people
to read the bulletins for they feared
that the news might come telling Of
the destruction of some building in
which they knew that loved ones were
staying.
If man should leave after reading
the bulletins there were half dozen
more who almost fought to secure his
place. 1t was impossible for a
pedestrian to pass in front of The
Herald building unless he should cross
to the opposite side of the street.
On the inside of the building the
excitement was no less than near the
bulletin boards. Several telephone OPP
orators were busy answering over as
many trunk lines the inquiries of the
many patrons and friends of The Herald
regarding the actual condition of the
city of San Francisco. This informa-
tion was cheerfully and promptly given.
Many We're not satisfied with read
ing the bulletin boards but sought to
get the information from The Herald
employees and all were treated
courteously and were told as much
concerning the actual situation as could
be possibly learned with so many of
the wires out OF service.

from any volcano have usually, when
carefully studied. been traced to some
line of rock weakness as a fault Such
earthquakes are merely phenomena ac-
companying rock movements that may
in time greatly modify the earth's sur
face. The frightful loss of life caused
by some violent earthquakes has led to
the geological Importance being exag-
gerated. Many earthquakes in Japan
are believed to be caused by accumu-
lations Of submarine sediments sliding
down a steep slope of the continental
shelf just east of Japan.
Effects of Earthquakes
Aside from the destruction of life
and property the work done by most
earthquakes is relatively unimportant.
OF geological effects may be mentioned
landslides in mountain regions, as in
the earthquakes in 1870 in Northwest
ern Greece. Such landslides may di-
vert the course Of streams. Violent
earthquakes are frequently accom-
panied by the opening of f1ssures In the
ground, which may or may not close
again. Several were formed in the
Charleston earthquake, while the Mis-
sissippi valley earthquake resulted, ap-
parently, in depressions of the surface
over considerable areas. AS noted be-
fore, earthquakes frequently accompany
the formation of faults. Thus the
Owens valley, Cal. earthquake Q872),
accompanied the formation Of faults
along the base of the Sierra Nevada,
the maximum throw being twenty feet
In the Lisbon earthquake that killed
10000 people, the quay sank into the
sea, with all the people near it. In the
Clalbrain earthquake Q7S3), which
killed $4,000 people, more than an hun
dred lakes and small swamps were
formed. Lyell says an earthquake in
the mouth Of Indus dS19), resulted
in forming lake covering 1000 square
miles. While downward displacements
of the earth's crust are Of common
occurrence, elevations are much less
common and some geologists deny that
any elevation has ever been observed
after an earthquake period.

ANOTHER SITE FOR P. 0.
PosToFFIUE DEPARTMENT PEO-
PIE SAID TO BE CONSIDERING
GROUND BETWEEN UNION AND
MILWAUKEE, STATIONS.
Business interests in Minneapolis are

Business interests in Minneapolis are
watching to see what action will be
taken by the government agent who
available sites for the proposed new
postoffce. The Commercial club, thru
its public affairs committee, has rec
commended the old Pence. operahouse
site. and this recommendation has been
generally indorsed. ..... >.
It was asserted today, from source
close to Washington authorities, that
the government inspector may. put In
some time on another proposition for
suitable site between the Milwaukee
and union stations. It is said that in
case good site can be found on Wash
ington avenue, between Eicollet and
Second avenue s, it may be adopted.
Postoffce department. officials have
been going over the business district
of the CITY,, as shown on the maps In
the department, and are declared to
favor the Washington avenue site IT
the character Of the surroundings is
station for all roads,. or If one were
assured, the Pence site would probably
stand AS the government evidently is
not banking on the. erection OF a real
union station in the immediate future,
it is said to prefer to get between the
two stations doing the heaviest mail
business. s2 -
With such site as could be selected
in the district between the union and
Milwaukee, stations. the government IN
tions whereby all mail would be re.
ceived and delivered direct from mail
cars. Such an arrangement would
bring, incoming mail into the office
from forty-f minutes to an hour ear
lier and would allow an extra hour
on outgoing mail. The government
will insist that the site selected be
within a quarter mile radius of the
railway station doing the largest bust
ness. which would necessitate the trans
fer of mail at the expense Of the rail
road. Outside the limit the govern
ment must pay the cost of transfer
amounting in Minneapolis to a large
amount annually. If it is found that
new union station for all roads il
| assured, the fact will have a large
| influence on the selection OF the site
| by the government agent.
