From 100000 to 100000 people were
made homeless in San Francisco-noI
only homeless, but destitute and hun

estimated as high as 100000, 900. When
1t is considered that the taxable valua-
ton of the city was over $400,000, 00d,
ard that three quarters of the city Is
in ashes, this estimate Of loss Is not

plosives in their efforts to stay the
flames.
No fire department ever fought hard
er, Drawer or better. The upheavals OF
the earth broke the water mains, anu
there was no water with which to flgnt
the element. The chief died at MS
post; others gave up their lives, and
when the battle ended, nearly every
member of the department was dead.
No person can ever describe the nor
rors of those days and nights, When
the earth trembled, buildings fell, ana

before the advancing flames. They
poured into the parks, the open places,
to the hills, and watched the city
burn. The roar of the explosions OF
dynamite, used to blow up buildings IN
vain efforts to stay the flames; the
smoke, and the knowledge that tnelf
homes were gone, that loved ones were
missing; that people were in the ruins,
was too much for many, and they De-

despair everywhere.
United States soldiers were sent
from the Preside and guarded the city.
Soon ghouls appeared, and began 10

wrecked homes. When caught, the
soldiers shot them down. Never did
soldiers do duty nobler Day and night
they remained on duty. And when re-
