to San Francisco.

Oakland, 10 a. m., April 10-There seems to be practically no hope of saving any of the city of San Fran cisco Those who were most san guine of ultimate success have now given up hope and are fleeing from the flames in despair. Many people are being burned alive, imprisoned in the doomed buildings where it is i'm possible for the rescrers to reach them. The last of the big structures to catch fire is Grace church. The fire department has destroyed block after block of residences trying to stop the course of the fire but the flames leap across the ruins thus made and chase the fire fighters to other parts of the city. The last hope has about vanished and San Francisco will be wiped out.

will be wiped out.
 San Francisco, April 19.-Day dawned on a scene of death and de- struction. During the night the flames had consumed many of the city's finest structures and skipped in dozen directions to the residence portions. They had made their way over into the North Beach section, and springing anew to the south they reached out along the shipping section down-the bay shore. over hills and across toward Third and Town send streets. Warehouses, houses and manufacturers concerns fell in their path. This completed the de- struction of the entire district known as the south of Market street." How far they are reaching to the south across the channel cannot be told as this part of the city is shut on.
 After darkness thousands of the homeless were Snaking their way with their blankets and scant pro- visions to Golden Gate park and the beach to find shelter. Those in the homes on the hills just north of the Hayes valley wrecked section piled their belongings in the streets and express wagons and automobiles were hauling the things away to the sparsely settled regions.
 Down town everything is ruin. Not business house stands. The aters are crumbled into heaps. Fac. tories and commission houses lie smouldering in ruins. All of the newspaper plants. have been rem dered useless.
 It is estimated that the loss in San Francisco will reach from $150,0O0,- 900 to $200,00O, 900. These figures are in the rough and nothing can be told until partial accounting is taken.
 On every side are death and suf-' fering. Hundreds were injured. either burned, crushed or struck by falling buildings. The number of dead is not known, but it Is esti- mated that at least 500 met their death in the horror.
 At o'clock, under special mes sage from President Roosevelt, the city was placed under martial law. Hundreds of troops patrolled the streets and drove the crowds back. while hundreds more assisted the fire and police departments. The strict est orders were issued and in true military spirit the soldiers obeyed. During the afternoon three thieves met death by rife balls while at work in the ruins. The curious were driven back by the horses of the cavalrymen and all the crowds were forced from the level district to the hilly section beyond to the north.
 The water supply was entirely cut of. and may be it was just as well, for the lines of fire department would have been absolutely useless at any stage. Assistant Chief Dougherty supervised the work of his men and early in the morning it was seen that the only possible fort to check the flames by the use of dynamite. During the day a blast could be heard in any section at in- teryals of only few minutes. and buildings not destroyed by fire were blown to pieces. But through the gaps made the flames jumped and al- though the failures of the heroic ef- forts of the police. flremen and sol- diers were at times sickening, the work was continued with a despera- ton that will live as one of the fea- tures Of the terrible disaster. Pas sengers on trains from other cities in California bring details of destruc- ton and death from nearly all of

To The Voters Of THE .Second District.
The ability and qualification of John
W. Gordon of the city of Barre should
OF themselves insure his nomination AS
Congressman at the district convention.
A native of Vermont. a man of forty
eight. educated in our state schools. an
honor graduate of Dartmouth, an asss
tant principal in the high schools of
Milford and Worcester, Mass, a success
full business man, an enviable standing as
lawyer since 1890, four years tenure
OF office as mayor of the city of Barre,
with experience i'll town and city offices,
a public speaker of wide reputation, IA
thorough acquaintance with legislative
measures, close student of political
conditions,-these and many other rea
sons have in the past led many friends
to urge his candidacy for important
state offices. These suggestions he has
declined heretofore.
His answer to the inquiries PROFOUND
ed to him by the American Federation
OF Labor in itself shows his keen INSIGHT
into the complicated issues of the day.
Some of these questions have been he.
fore Congress in the form of bills during
the last few years, and Mr.. Gordon's an
swer indicates thorough grasp of tie
principles involved therein. In the dis
tr'butlon of seeds and post offices he has
not had experience, it is true. But
should not Congressman represent
more than this r.? We believe that the
opportunity is now before the voters of
this district to send to Congress man
intellectually aud morally strong. Can
you not in good conscience assist in
bringing this about?
