out the year following.
Z In 1916 an American man-of-war, I'M
der command Of Commodore John B.
Montgomery, entered the 'harbor and
hoisted the stars and stripes over the
town. Mexico, which succeeded Spain
as the owner of California, was then
at war with the United States, and the
act Of Commodore Montgomery ended
her dominion over San Francisco.
Montgomery appointed Lieutenant
Washington A. Bartlett to be Frisco's
first alealde, or mayor, under the new
regime. Under Spanish and Mexican
rule the town was sleepy, unprogress-

leans and the discovery of gold in 1S4S
there came an era Of growth and hus-

The larger number passed to the south
west shores of the cove, beyond the
Market street ridge, a region sheltered
from clustering winds and provided
with good spring water and named the
Happy Valley.
Stockton street, stretching from Sac
ramento to Green streets, presented
the neatest cluster of dwellings, and
Powell streetwas the abode of churches,
for of the six churches in existence in
the middle of 1850 three graced its

corners in the city were occupied by
gambling dens. One of them, known
as the Cafe Royal, has been veritable
gold mine for it's proprieters.
The California supreme court has
rendered decision to the effect that
the game Of draw poker is not game
Of chance, but Involves Judgment and

the trail to the Preside, past scattered
cottages, cabins and sheds, amid dali
ries and gardens, with d branch path
to the Marine hospital on Filbert
street, and another to the North Beach
anchorage, where spectators were
planning a wharf to tract settlement.
After the vigilance committee dis
banded the criminal element became
holder, and in 1856 the crime and cor
ruption in the city had become intol-
cradle to those who wished to live a
decent and orderly life. When Editor
King Of the Bulletin, who had de-
nounced the thugs, was murdered by
James r. Casey, a new vigilance or
ganization was created, and In q few
days Casey and another murderer
named Cora were executed in front OF
the committees headquarters. Many
lawbreakers were later put to death,
and the regime Of the California bad
man" came to an end.
It has been asserted that San Fran
cisco is the most eosmopol itan city In
tie weird, and by cosmopolitan is
meant a population from all parts OF
the world. Not long ago the records
indicated that 43 per cent OF the peo-
pie Of the city were born in foreign
lands, not In two or three different
countries, but In practically every land
under the sun. According to the ma
honal census reports for 1896, San
Francisco had total population Of
298, 1897. OF these 172.1s6 were native
born and 128,s11 were born outside Of
the United States. Fully half tie
grown persons In the. community re-
moved to California from alien lands,
while a large percentage OF the other
half and of the general body of CHI
dren were of foreign parentage. In
190O San Francisco had a population
Of 342,782, of which BAL per cent was:
foreign born. .:s.

as one Of the wide open" cities Of the.

After the first rush to the gold dig
gings the town began to regain its lost
ground, and ere long the influx of gold
seekers gave quite an impetus to its
growth. The town was Incorporated
in April, 1850, and the first common
council elected proceeded with diligence
to plumber the city treasury The
same year the state was admitted to
the Union, and when the steamer Ore

telegraphic communication in those
days business was entirely suspended
and the entire population rushed to the
wharfs to welcome the harbinger. The
town had about 10000 inhabitants at
that time, and when the people were
informed that the signal flags OF the
Oregon indicated that California was a
sovereign state Of the United States Of
America "a universal shout arose from
10000 voices on the Wharfs, in the

In Its early history the city suffered
from several disastrous fires. Between
December, ,1s49, and June, 1851, SIX
CONGREGATIONS played havoc with the
growing young town. Better buildings
were planned and several fire compa-

This fact and the inefficiency and

s= extending over SO large part
Of the Pacific coast region and
wrecking such an extensive
section Of the city OF San Francisco
was not the first OF these catastrophes
known Ii the western metropolis,
though by all dds the most damaging.
Eor many years the municipal au-
thorities refused to permit tall build
ings In the city because Of the fear Of
earthquakes, several Of which had al
ready been experienced. Finally the
Introduction was removed, however,
and a number Of skyscrapers resulted.
Prior to 1890 there was hardly q
building In excess Of five stories and
only a few Of that height. Today there.
is one eighteen stories high and quite
number from twelve TO fourteen
stories. Rs. &5 8; )
In the spring of 1895. about 10 o'clock
one might, the city had q seismic shock
that put to test Its high structures. It
was the worst earth quake since 1868,
when for eight or nine blocks on the
main street (Market) the ground was
cracked open several inches.
II the upheaval Of 1893 the TAN build
ings were given a fearful shaking, and
some Of their occupants were made
dizzy and sick. The structures were
.uninjnred, and ever since that 4 time,
there has not been so much question
OF the safety of high buildings Of mod
ern Construct n that Is, buildings Of
structural iron frame and facings Of
pressed brick, terra Gotta or stone.
1t was M. III. De Young, the proprie-
tor and editor Of the Chronicle, who
was the pioneer in this respect. He
met with opp osition from the munich
pal authorities fourteen years ago when
he decided to erect q ten sssry house
for his newspaper. IT was believed to
be dangerous undertaking because Of
the earthquake fear, but Mr.. De Young
won out and thereby set an example Of
enterprise to other wealthy men who
have since built more tall bull ings
