No Action en- Postoffice Site.-After
two hours of wrangling the regular ses-
sion of the Moline Business Mems as
sociation was adjourned. o. F. Ander-
son brought up the postoffice question.
He suggested that the association pro-
vide some means by which it could as
certain what the wishes of the people
were regarding the location of the post
office. The majority of those present
were opposed to any action on the part
of the association. some holding that
there was no doubt how the people
would vote regarding the location of
the new building. NJ. J. McEniry, II. j.
Gripp and c. +. Grant, freely admitted
that nine-tenths of the people lived on
the south side of the tracks and would
naturally vote to have it on that side.

Tarantua Is a Big One.-It was 4
lucky thing for Miss Emma Tiedeman
that the big tarantula which emerged
from bunch of bananas she was cut
ting at the Plath grocery was not in
an ugly mood. Miss Tiedeman was
removing the bananas from bunch
in clusters, when suddenly a hairy
covered animal dropped from the
bunch and ran across her hand. She
didn't go into Mysteries, but she lost
her taste for working among bananas
for the rest of the day. The big spider
was not at liberty long, for Victor
Plath went after it and soon had the
visitor in a large fruit jar. 1t is now
on exhibition in its glass cage at the
Plath grocery. Mr.. Plath says that
this is the largest tarantula he has
ever seen. and he has run across a
good many of them This is the sec
in a bunch of bananas. When it gets
little less lively Mr.. Plath will take
it out of the jar and send it to the
spider heaven by the chlOroform route.
Then he will proceed to take measure
ments. A body as big as a mans
thumb and 10 long legs, body and legs
covered with long brown hair-that's
the tarantula. With the legs stretched
out the Plath visitor will undoubtedly
measure six inches or more.

interference with the traffic. For the
first two or three days before the po-
lice realized what they were up
against there was big interruption
to traffic, trucks stopping the cars,
so they could maintain only the speed
of the line of tracks, for the trucks
going one way could go on only one
track.
But after an experience of couple
of days the police took new track,
and ordered all the trucks, carriages,
autos, and the like to turn off the
street and find their destination by a
parallel street. This worked admir-
ably, and soon all was working we'll
again. The paving company also took
especial trouble to hurry up the work
although they did not do any work at
night or Sundays except on one occa-
sion. The pavement is silent and so
easy on the horses that 1t is a COM

A New City.
San Francisco is being rebuilt, as in
the cases of Chicago. Boston, Balti-
more and Charleston. A new city will
rise here. The area is vastly greater,
the ruin OF the business and CONNER
cial more absolute, but the work of re-
construction will be more rapid, be-
cause the facilities for speedy and sub
stantial rebuilding are greater than
ever before in the history OF the world.
Money, men and material will make
a new and greatly improved metropo-
lis. and these are all available.
The courage of the citizens is all
that could be desired. 1t faces the
problem coolly, and behind the cour-
age is the ability of intelligence and
experience and the ability TO COM
mand men and money.
In the banking world there is the
utmost confidence. Deposits far ex-
ceed Withdrawals. There is little de-
mand for emergency orders; the local
banks carry a large cash reserve in
their vaults and large credits with
eastern and foreign correspondents;
vaults so far opened are found in ad-
mirable condition; the United States
mint on April II. at the close of the
days business, had on hand 1901, ,000,-
900, an actual visible supply of gold
ready for distribution in the regular

the city burned. Capital from eastern
centers is also freely offered.
Millions for Investment.
Hundreds of millions will be avail
able for investment. Street railways
telephone. government buildings, the
extension of the sea wall, the avail
able city bonds of 1904, will provide
more than s2OO.O0O,0O0 for rehabita-
ton. Private capital and money de-
rived from insurance will increase
this sum twofold. In the whole
history of America no such opportun-
ity was ever before offered to men of
enterprise and courage. A great build
ing era will affect every section and
California may anticipate years of un-
precedented business activity and bus
mess profit.
A lesson in methods of construction
is being learned, and careful observa-
ton shows poor foundations, yielding
ground, rotten wooden supports of old
houses, poor concrete, stone veneers,
gables unsupported and much faulty
methods of building. The tall build
ings. all of which remain substantial
ly unharmed, though interiors are
burned out, are so many object les
sons.
All this will be taken into account,
and the experience will result in maxi
SAP Francisco and its neighbors the
safest cities in the world in which to
reside.
In succeeding issues this bulletin
will give details of actual work being
done in this city and in other places
affected.

THE RESURRECTION OF SAN FRANCISCO

The Southern Pacific railway is de-
voting all its energies toward a restor-
alton of confidence in San Francisco
and will issue weekly bulletin show
ing the progress of rebuilding. The
first bulletin is as follows:
This bulletin (to be issued weekly
is to correct some misconceptions. and
record the progress of rebuilding and
the resumption of business In the city
of San Francisco, and in the cities and
towns chiefly affected by the great
earthquake.
A great event of this kind in the
business world soon becomes old; Il
is of yesterday. and there is no dispo-
sition to re-tell the story of disaster.
Today is here and the ruins are to be
wiped out by new growth. The city
is TO be rebuilt. II is idle to minim-
ize the damage done; it is hurtful to
exaggerate il. In this city we must
discriminate between the relatively
slight injury done by the earthquake
and the ruin wrought by the fire which
followed.
Reports OF enormous damage to
property and great loss of life: of all
California being involved in the call
amity and many cities and towns al
most utterly destroyed; of hundreds
of bodies carried out to sea and
thrown overheard; of the ruin of the
ferry building and the new post
office and the topping of the Cliff
House into the ocean; all this and
mora ~ Hla ahSoI,.alv falea raDorfs
is injurious to the state.
Earthquake Only One Per Cent.
Photographs are being widely dis
tributed for gain. showing the fire
charred ruins and labeled Views
after the earthquake" But structural
engineers in council assert that, leav-
ing out the city hall and the Hall of
Justice. the damage TO San Francis
co by the shock did not exceed l per
cent of the total loss.
Photographs of the western addi-
ton, of this city, which was untouched
by fire, would show how little damage
was actually done by the earthquake.
On made ground and elsewhere in the
case of weak foundations or faulty
construction the injury was marked.
The reports of great loss of life
have not been borne out by facts. The
statistics of casualties up to date show
a death list of 4eO and a list of miss
ing of less than 100 names. 1t may
reasonably be supposed that some re-
mains will yet be found but the full
est investigation yet possible of the
burned district and the knowledge OBJ
tanned of the situation before the fire
swept over the lower part of the city
shows that few buildings, and these
chiefly flimsy ones, collapsed from the
vibration.
The tall campanile of the ferry
was damaged. but the building
itself IS in constant use; the postoffice
was injured by an explosion of dyna-
mite near by. but neither shock nor
fire caused the damage to the splendid
structure, the foundations sinking

The ruin in San Francisco was

tons and brick masonry under the
