IL the owners of land on this mud
hat decide to rebuild in steel-frame
construction, they will have to carry
the foundations on piles, as has been
the case hitherto with two and three
story brick structures. Many such
buildings there are now supported by
hundred-foot piles. These piles have
been driven down through the mud,
sometimes striking nothing solid, even
at depth of a hundred feet Some
times couple of hundred-foot piles
have been driven down. one on top of
the other. without striking bedrock. 1t

THE HAVOC CREATED
NOT SO BAD AS FEARED.

Now that the food has come, it has
not created the havoc that was feared,
except in the town of Rumsey, place
of about two hundred inha bitants that
makes a picturesque terminus for the
branch railroad which the Southern Pa
eific sent up to tap the beautiful Capay
valley. Rumsey is at the northern end
Of the valley and was the first place to
feel the effect of the onrushing flood.
The people, from the hills, saw great
wall of water, which seemed to them
twenty or thirty feet high, sweep down
out of the canyon upon their homes and
the village buildings in which they had
so much pride.
The water burst from the narrow
canyon a short distance above the
town and at once begun to spread
through the lowlands of the valley.
Telephone Operator Lloyd was the
only one of the inhabitants remaining
in town, and he stuck to his post and
told the story of the oncoming flood
over the phone until he had warned
the entire country below Rumsey that
the dam had broken and that the peo-
pie must fee for their lives. When his
work of warning was completed the
heroic operator made his difficult way
through the water to place of safety
and then watched Rumsey crumble I'M
der the terrific impact of the onrushing
and engulfng yellow food.
Several of the largest buildings in
town were totally destroyed. Among
these were the big engine house of the
Southern Pacific, which was picked up
as if it had been made of paper carried
something like three hundred feet and
lodged against the depot building,
which was not carried away

heavily. 1t would not be fair to say
that 1t has always suffered most Sc
verely, for earthquakes are eccentric.
At times the houses built on rock or
sand in the western part of San Fran
cisco have also suffered severely, but
generally speaking it is the belief of
old residents that brick or stone build
ings on this unsubstantial soil are sub
Jected to greater damage than those
on rock or sand. The earthquake of
April IS, 1906, is the most severe ex-
perienced in San Francisco in the mem

HOUSES SWEPT AWAY
IN RUSHING WATERS.

The fine warehouse of the Earl Fruit
Company was badly wrecked, being
picked up on the wall of water and car
ried along until it was lodged in a
prune orchard below town. The large
residence of w. P. Reavis was swept
away in the swirl of water, and More
ing s warehouse was almost completely
demolished
But the big steel bridge at Rumsey
is still standing in the midst of the
rushing flood. It's approaches have
been torn up and carried away, but it
seems likely that the bridge will stand.
Other bridges in the sweep of the wa
ter probably Will not be materially in
jured.
Below Rumsey the damage was not
nearly so great. The wall of water
had a chance to spread out, and in con-
sequence it lost its terrific force. The
farmers and ranchers had removed
their stock and valuables TO places of
safety, thus minimizing the loss from
the overflow. Consequently 1t is now
certain that the people of Rumsey will
be by far the greatest sufferers from
the flood.
Guinda, the first town below Rum
sey, is on comparatively high ground,
and SO it escaped with comparatively
little loss.
At Capay little damage was done,
though a number of small buildings
and barns were reached by the food.
The hills, which rise abruptly above
Capay, were covered with camps, where
the people probably will continue to re-
side until it is certain that all danger
is over
