ruins or the once great business houses
temporary structures are arising in
mushroom fashion and the rivulets of
commerce are beginning to move with
increasing volume into broader chan
nels.
The full force of the disaster that
mas overtaken commercial San Fran
cisco is best appreciated by taking a
trip from the Oakland side Of the
bay to this city. Along the entire
sweep Of the city. front not a single
puff of smoke is coming from the chin
neys which to-day stand as grewsome
monuments to the awful work of two
weeks ago. In the heart of the city
on top OF the great Merchants Elk
change steel structure the ascending
black smoke told that life had been
renewed within that once busy hive
OF industry. This was the one ex-
ception in all of the vast downtown
district. Far to the south along the
water front could be seen the plants
and factories in the Poterro district in
FULL operation, a cheering omen for the
remainder of the city.
Erect Temporary Buildings.
In the burned territory much prog
ress has been made in the way of
preparation for the new order of

homes of merchants and retailers.

erected but the carpenters union re-

and it is hoped to relieve the great
congestion in travel to and from the
Oakland ferries and in the suburbs.

have been in the habit of presenting
their demands and collecting the two,
three and five per cent commission
which they exact.
Between the tire and the earthquake
many Of the assignments have been
destroyed, and Auditor Horton Is be-
sieged by anxious brokers demanding
that he accept substitute for the
missing powers Of attorney. Horton
refuses to give any satisfaction.
'The warrants will be given to the
persons to whom they belong unless
proper documents showing a bonafde
assignment is fled" he declared.
Valuable Painting Is Saved.
The picture "The Man With the
Hoe" the famous painting by Millet,
which was reported to have been
burned with others In the Croker

from the flames. Other famous paint

New York, May 2.-The fact that
many Of the churches in San Francis
co and other points on the Pacific
