SANTA ROSA. May 13.-The enter
prising spirit of the citizens of Santa
Rosa is not behind that OF the people
of San Francisco when Il comes to
clearing away the debit. and getting
ready to rebuild the city. from all In :
dications much more ir1f.osing busi~
ness center Is to arise from the ruins
of the old town. Already outside cap
ital is seeking locations for structures
One concern has already sought to pur-
chase the Riley home on. Mendocino
street for site for a half million DOL
lar tourist hotel. The site is ideal and
the hackers are anxious to get hold of
the property SO that building operations
can be rushed.
Another person backed by outside
capital is working through agents to
secure site on Fourth street for a
seven story steel frame Office building.
The highest building in the city her:-
tofore was three Ystories. So far it has
been impossible to secure a site, all
property owners asking too high price
to suit the newcomers. -
The fraternal orders are very active
in the matter of making plans to re-
build. The Odd Fellows. have decided
to rebuild their three-slory brick at
Third street and Exchange avenue. The
Woodmen of the World will rebuild in
l.
their building a three-story steel frame
instead of two-story brick. The Nd
sonic fraternity. which lost a large
three story stone and brick building
which was almost ready for occupancy,
has already taken steps to rebuild a
steel frame building.
Among the new enterprises to build
is that OF the Benevolent and Protect
i've Order OF Elks, which will erect a
49,,
street. Fraternal Order Of Eagles. a
three story steel frame on Fourth
street; Modern Woodmen OF America,
three story steel frame on Mendo-
cino street, near Fifth, and the N. S.
G. W., a two-story brick on Mendocino
street.
There has been favorably reported in
the House a bill aphpropriating $4,000
for the purchase OF a site for Federal
building in Santa Rosa. 1t is now be-
lieved that the measure will pass, and
If so there will be a s1n0,000 postoffice
added to the new buildings for the city.
The plans at present discussed prom
ise 10 make Santa Rosa one of the most
substantial business cities in Caiifor-
MIA. AS there is large and rich farm
ing community adjacent to the city de-
pendent upon it for supplies and mar
ket there is no reason why there should
be delay In the rebuilding Of the city.
Word has been given out that the
proposed electric lines from the bay to
Petaluma, and from here north. to Clo-
verdale en- route to Lake County, Will
be built as soon as the financial condi-
tions are settled again.
The associated banks of Santa Rosa
have issued a notice to the effect that
they Will open for temporary business
tomorrow morning for the purpose OF
meeting special needs OF their Gus
toners by payment of limited amounts.
This arrangement will remain In force
until such time as the San Francisco
banks open for general business. Any

O|SREGARDED THE
BRYAN ULT|MA7UM
ILLINOIS DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Refused to Demand Resignation Of
National Committeeman Sulli-
van. Hut Endorsed Bryan.

PEORIA, Aug. 21.-By a vote of
1898 to SIS the Illinois democratic
state convention today tabled the re-
quest of William J. Bryan for the
resignation of National Committeeman
Sullivan. Despite the fact that Bryan
declared he did not wish to be en-
dorsed unless Sullivan was repudiated,
the convention declared him the one
and only man capable of leading the
democratic party to victory in 1908.
The endorsement of Bryan and tab
ling of the motion calling for the
resignation Of Sullivan came at the
close of a most exciting session of the
convention, in which there were sew
eral fights. and throughout which con-
fusion reigned supreme. The commit
tee on resolutions declined to report
the plank calling for the resignation,
and debatne followed. The motion
was made in the convention by Judge
Thompson calling for Sullivan's resig-
nation and it was agreed that each
side was to have IS minutes in which
to present it's side of the case. and
Thompson was the first advocate of
the couse of Bryan. IIc allowed his
feeling to carry him somewhat to the
extreme and aroused the hostility of
Sullivan's friends by the unsparing
manner in which he dealt upon the
last democratic convention at Spring
field He strobe UP and down the
PLATFORM, his face white with wrath
and his form shaking with the in
tensity of his feelings. His caustic
criticism finally lost him the ear OF
the convention, and he might never
have been able to conclude his speech
If Sullivan had not personally re-
quested quiet.
Sullivan, who followed Thomps m
and who was the first speaker in his
own behalf, declared that the ear OF
Mr. Bryan had been poisoned agairs,
him and the demand for his resigne-
tion sprang from his personal enemies
Great feeling was displayed on boil
sides during the debate and mary
personalities OF a disagreeable charac
ter were INDUCED in by the various
speakers.
