Low BUILDINGS ARE PREDICTED
Architects Say New San Francisco
VIII fill Be 4ui!t on Safe Lines

That the new San Francisco will
be city of comparatively low build
ings, and that steel and concrete will
be the chief materials used in con-
structiOn work, is the opinion of Chi
chicago architects. AS to what it will
cost TO reconstruct the city, the archi-
tects declined even to guess They
said that until the insurance compa-
MES should complete their adjust
ments, to some extent at least, and
until property owners could olsen
tangle their affairs it would be impos-
sible to forecast the cost of replacing
the buildings destroyed.
'The earthquake has put finish
to skyscrapers in San Francisco Z
said Henry P. Harmed, an architect
at 21S LaSalle street. sIt is my opin-
ion the buildings in the new city will
not be on the average more than six
stories in height. 1t is probable that
city ordinances will be passed regu-
lating the height of buildings. 1t will
be found necessary to use much more
steel in the construction work, as this
material makes better unit of a
building.

FIND NEW GOLD FIELD
Prospectors Declare Hudson Bay Re-
qion Will Surpass Yukon

Ottawa, Ont.-The region in the
vicinity of Hudson Bay seems des.
tined to become more famous for it's
mineral wealth than either the Yukon
or the new Eldorado at Cobalt. 1t is
believed that the mineral resources
awaiting the prospector in that region
may surpass anything the dominion
has yet produced.
A. J. Jacobs, Montreal mining all-
thOrity, reports the arrival of pros
pector from the Hudson Bay district
who reached the city of Montreal this
week, after many years stay in the
far north country. He exhibited to

some of which Mr.. Jacobs stated were

REBATERS INDICTED
Bills Returned Against the American
Sugar Refining Company and New
York Central Railroad

New York.-The April federal grand
jury in concluding its labors handed
down seven sealed indictments in the
sugar rebating cases. The indict-
ments are against the following:
The New York Central Railway.
The American Sugar Refining Co.
The New York Central and Hudson
River Co., and Nathan Guilford, vice
president of the company.
The American Sugar Refining COM
pany of New York and C. Goodlee Ed
gar and Edwin E. Earle, the latter be-
ing wholesale sugar dealers of Detroit,
Mich.
The New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad and Nathan Guilford,
vice president, and F. l.. Pomeroy,
general traffic manager.
The six indictments were found un-
der the "Ellxins antitrust law which
provides penalties of a fine not ex-
ceeding $4,000 or Imprisonment not
exceeding two years, for giving,
granting, applying for or accepting
any rebate or concession from the
regular freight rates, as published by
a railway company as common car
rier
The seventh indictments found
against Guilford, Pomeroy, Edgar and
Earle charges them with having col
lectively conspired TO violate the pro-
vision of the Elkins antitrust law.
These are the first indictments for
an alleged violation of the antitrust
law in this district. Sixteen sessions
Of the April grand jury were devoted
exclusively to the consideration of
these cases, but it is evident from the
presentment which the jury handed
In with the indictments that it deems
the situation but hurriedly canvassed.
1t recommends that the investigation
be continued by it's successor, intimat-
ing that indications point to the pos
sibility that other common carriers
may be equally culpable with the in
dicted roads.

The Horse Still Leads.

The automobile has not discouraged
the useful animal, the horse. Official
reports show that the equine is still
paramount. In 1905 there were 1857,
702 horses in the United States, against
II ,213,S37 in 1890. The export price
averaged $30S.99 last year, against
$174.50 in 1892. The horse is flesh,
blood and intelligence, and people of
natural and practical predictions can
have an affection for him. He has the
graces of instinct, and if he gets prop
er attention is a thing of beauty and
satisfaction. The spread of the auto
mobile is amazing, but it is still to a
great degree a fad and a toy. 1t is
a product of prosperous times, when
men are making money and have the
means of treating themselves to novel
ties. Its best use is for heavy delivery
TRANSPORTATION in cities, but it has
nothing to commend it over the horse
for family driving or pleasure riding.
1t goes faster than the patient, four
footed beast, but the horse is as rapid
as is necessary. 1t goes at as great a
pace as ought to be permitted in the
streets of city, and is less tempest

motor. Anybody with human instincts
can acquire a positive affection for a
faithful horse, but who could love
greasy automobile, with it's absurd
odors? The horse. the noblest of all
beasts-if, in deed, it is not a shame
to call it a best-is a creature of
bountiful and beautiful nature, while
the horseless wagon is senseless,
ponderous machine that is not bride

The san Francisco Disaster.

One of the greatest disasters of the
times has befallen San Francisco.
Not since the Galveston flood and
before it the Johnstown flood, has such
a catastrophe overtaken a city on this
continent.
The earthquake shock that visited
the metropolis of the Pacific at an
early hour this morning is filled with
horror in all it's attending circum-
stances and conditions
The eyes of the entire nation and of
the world are in twinkling turned to
the city of the Golden Gate, and hearts
rended with pain and pity will prompt
deeds of generosity and humanity to
an afflicted people.
San Francisco is not unaccustomed
to seismic shocks, and the present dis
turbance Will be attributed by Sclen-
lists to the same causes that occa-
sion the volcanic eruptions of Vesu-
vius. So that while the people of the
Pacific slope may have been in meas
ure prepared for quake. one of such
astounding proportions was. of course,
not anticipated.
The work of relief will accompany
the clearing away of the debris. The
entire nation may be relied upon to
respond TO whatever extent may be
necessary to relieve the distress and
suffering.
And in proportion to what it has al
ways done. Rock Island may be counted
upon to do it's full share. In this spirit
The Argus, as in the past, will cheer
fully and earnestly cooperate.
In the hour of overwhelming misfor-
tune San Francisco will look to the
world for aid, and that aid will not
be withheld.

A United States senator who has as
many millions as he has fingers and
toes decided to buy an automobile and
selected a machine valued at $4,000.
But before concluding the purchase he
spent a week dickering with the agent
and then he demanded all sorts of
demonstrations. He called his son
from New York to Washington and
after the young man had examined the
machine the agent took the two for
another run On returning he said to
the senator: "Good-by, l think I'll be
going now" where are you going?'
