FRISCO GROWS RAPIDLY
Wonderful Strides Taken in Recovering
From Great Disaster.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept, 2s.-In its
bulletin of progress, issued today, the
California Promotion committee says:
September has been notable month
in the progress of San Francisco to-
ward recovery from the effects of the
big FIRE, and also in the progress Of
the State in all industrial and CONNER
cial lines. Reports from railroads en-
tering California show that tourist and
colonist traffic has increased enormous
~. The labor supply is still made
quate, especially in ordinary labor
and skilled artisans in the building
trades in San Francisco. Every school
building in San Francisco is crowded
to its limit, the enrolment of pupils
being 29,S03. 1t is estimated that u.s.
900 more would apply for admission
wero there room enough.
Investigation into the cost of living
in San Francisco shows that III all but
rent there is no increase over prices
prevailing before the fire. Rents of
residence property have increased
about an average of 10 per cent. OF
the $20S, 100000 insurance on property
lost in the fire in San Francisco, $780,
100000 has been paid. All the interior
cities report the heaviest business in all
lines in their history.
