That is the great advantage OF this
city today. The population has been
winnowed and the chAff is scattered to
the four winds OF heaven. The present
population of San Francisco is not
worrying about its future. We havent t
time at present to take much interest in
daily chronicled facts that this one or
that will erect class A building We
are not worrying over the fact that the
rehabilitated Palace Hotel will have five
or seven gilt angels at its pinnacles.
We are occupied in making money in

turn our thoughts to putting our
surplus into class A buildings later on.

also from the president of
the California Promotion Committee as
to the general prosperity of the same
city, perhaps it would interest you to
hear from one of the rank and file, one
of those who are doing things, whose
ideas, intentions and actions are so diff
ferently interpreted by your two cor
respondents. Let us look first at the
black facts. We had an earthquake
that scared us all up to our full ca
pacity to be frightened, followed by a
conf1agration which devoured all the
business section and about one-half the
residence section, reckoning in point of
population (not area). The loss of life
will never be known. The property loss
may have been $500, 100000, or again,
500, 000,00 I don't know, nor does
any one else. Discomforts were plenty;
actual suffering not at all. My family
and dined off can of corn, eaten cold
out of the can, this being our sole dish
had nightmare in consequence, but /
have had nightmare after a dinner in
which canned corn bore a very small
part 1 carried wood and water. cooked
in the streets, stood in the bread line
for four hours. and with thankful heart
boiled eggs, my share of the millions
of dollars the country at large had con-
tributed.
But all this is forgotten, the fact
being that we are all too busy to think
of it. Look at the city as it is, green
pasture which has been devastated by
fire. All the weak-kneed cleaners have
fed, leaving the ever-springing crop to
those who remained. Everybody here
is busy. Personally, hear no one dis
cussing the safety of the city or its
advantages or disadvantages as a place
of investment. That is all newspaper
talk. have found nobody who is wor-
rying himself over the question as to
the opinions of outsiders. Every day I
meet people who left the city after the
shake and have returned. and in a
shame-faced way admit their error in
leaving the best place there is to make
money in the whole country
I leased a place in the burned dis
trict month after the fire. / can sell
my lease at 100 per cent advance to-
day. l am doing all the business I can
take care of. 1 see nothing but pros
perity about me. This is the true con-
dition of San Francisco today. Whether
there are 10000 people here or $4,000
1 don't know, but 1 do know the busi-
ness is here, which is the thing of in
terest. And it must not be forgotten
that the good will of thousands of firms
went up in the fire, and the business of
today is anybody's who goes after it.
l don't believe in the history of the
country there has been such an oppor-
tunity for a new house as exists TODAY
in San Francisco. 1 can safely saw
that assertions that business men lack
confidence in the future of the city are
simply bosh. All those business men
who have this lack of confidence left
