COMPARING CONCENTRATIONS.

The Chicago Tribune furnished data
for a most interesting comparison of
the. destruction wrought by its con1a-
grafton of October, 1871. and the devas-
tation wrought in San Francisco du-
ring the past week. According to it's
figures. the population Of Chicago, by
the federal census of 1870, using round
numbers here and elsewhere, was 2SS,-
900. In October. 1871, it was estimated
to be $4,000. The population Of San
Francisco in 1900 was S42, 900. In 1903
it was estimated by the census bu-
reau at 355, 900. Mayor Schmitz esti-
mated 1t In 1905 at 100000, but this is
undoubtedly too great, as the rate Of
increase for many years has been less
| than Is per cent yearly. About 10000
would be a fair estimate at the present
| time.
The Chicago fire covered an area Of
three and one-third square miles. The
San Francisco fire has burnt over ten
| square miles. about three times as
much as the fire of 1871. The number
of people left homeless IN Chicago was
! estimated by the Relief and Aid So
ciety at 100000. In San Francisco at
least 10000 are without shelter of their
| own Among the homeless there is in
| this last fire a larger proportion of
the extremely poor who are dependent
| on their earnings from day to day IN
order to live. and who have nothing
| saved and no place to go.
The wealth of Chicago in 1871 was
| much less than that of San Francisco
in 1905. Chicago had at that time few
holders Of long accumulated wealth.
The business district had not then it's
present dimensions; there were not the
magnificent buildings. the great de-
partment stores, and the banks, the
aires and hotels which now adorn the
| center Of the city, but the business
| center Of San Francisco may be more
properly compared with that of Chi
| cago today than with that OF Chicago
thirty-five years ago. While San Fran
cisco has more Of the nearly destitute
than Chicago had, it has also more
miIlionaires than Chicago had. Its
splendid homes, in the area laid waste
by fire. had no counterpart in Chi
| CaRo.
Chicago's loss was estimated a,
S1s6,OOO,OOO; San Francisco's viii be
much greater than that Chicago lost
about 200 lives.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

Financial authorities in New York
agree that the demands on the money
market for funds with which to meet
the San Francisco fire losses and re-
build the city will impose some stress
on immediate eastern reserves and
prevent any reduction in rates on call
money for some time to come. But
the same authorities call attention to
the fact that the banks of the ruined
city have about $4,000 600 In their
vaults. all in gold, which will not be
affected IN value even If it is melted
by the flames.
Some of the speculative element at
fected to believe the Insurance com
panies would have TO unload securities
representing reserve assets in order to
meet their losses, but the most recent
reports indicate no such probability.
Insurance companies met their Balti-
more losses without sacrificing stocks
and bonds, in some instances making
temporary loans to avoid such a con-
tingency. 1t seems pretty well as
sured now that no one of the large
companies carried so much in risks on
San Francisco as to embarrass it; on
the contrary, 1t is agreed there will be
no failures as a result Of the conffa-
grafton except in possibly one or two
smaller companies whose aggregate
risks are a very small proportion of
the total insurance.
The movement of money westward
may tighten the speculative loan mar
ket, but general financial conditions
will remain unaffected permanently by
the situation AS fast as construction
demands release the funds required for
building material a good portion of If

THE BETTER PART.

In all the outpouring of charity
which has followed the San Francisco
disaster nothing has been more beau
tfful than the way in which the lit
tie ones and the people Of limited
means have made personal sacrifices
that they might do their part in the
good work of relief. InnumerabIe in
stances, too many to ever find their
way into print, have come to the at
teution Of the newspapers where chill
dren have given their little savings OF
parted with precious belongings in
order that some sufferer might be
comforted or protected from hard
ship.
One Of the finest of these instances
was the case Of two small boys who
brought their tent into the relief com
mittee headquarters and asked that it
be sent to San Francisco for the home
less ones. 1t was their one treasure
and they gave it gladly because their
hearts had been touched by the stories
OF little ones who had no shelter, no
home TO go to-
Quite as fine is the action of the
teachers in the public schools, who have
undertaken to give 5 per cent of their
months salaries to the relief fund. No
class is so poorly paid in comparison
with the service rendered, and none is
so little able to spare anything from
it's small surplus, and the approach of
vacation time, when no income may
be expected, only serves to accentuate
the generosity which prompts this sac
rifice. Whether rich or poor, the peo-
pie Of salt Lake have given with a
Hberality and spontaneity to make one
proud to be a citizen Of the place Not
only in money. but in the devotion OF
self TO the work of collecting and for
warding supplies, and to the care OF
the unfortunate who have come through
here, the community has proved itself
nobly unselish, devotedIy equal to the
tremendous demands made upon it's
sympathy.

THE RAILROADS.

One of the marvellous achievements
incident to the great emergency which
arose last Wednesday is the develop
ment Of railroad organization fitted to
cope with the demands made upon
transportation facilities for the dispatch
Of relief. the distribution Of the home
less ones throughout the country, and
the continuation OF regular railroad
business east and west at the same
time.
Within twenty-four hours after the
earthquake special trains were bearing
westward the first Of the relief sup
plies; within another twenty-four
hours every transcontinentaI line had
in it's care an almost continuous stream
OF emergency relief trains. On the
Union Pacific line alone twenty-three
trains of this sort passed Cheyenne in
one day, all running on fast passen-
ger time The Santa Fe, Southern Pa
cific and all the connecting lines were
engaged in the good work and are still
ct it. The problem of maintaining
good service under such conditions
would stagger almost any organization
but the American railroad army, and
the way they have handled it ought
to be an eye-opener as to the posi-
bilities of intelligent combination d.
rected by trained experts in this line.
What the railroads have done for
san Francisco in it's hour Of trial can
never be known and will be only faint
~ understood by the sufferers them
selves. Measured in money, the free
service rendered will run into mil
lions; measured by the value of prompt
aid to absolutely destitute hundreds of
thousands. it can be compared only
with the great deeds done by heroic
armies, the achievements of the Red
Cross in times of war.
Nor has the work ended with relief
Of physical suffering; quite as import
ant is the offer of Mr.. Hartman, which
viii doubtless be accepted. to build
tracks to Market street, in the ru-
ined city. and haul away free of charge
the debris and wreckage which now
obstruct the work of rebuilding the
city. This and other equally generous
undertakings show in the gloom that
surrounds the city, like a lamp set
upon q hill; they go far toward es-
tabiishing belief IN that brotherhood of
man which has been the dream Of the

Then it is good-by, foreyer!"
 The dolce far niente of summer afternoon had ended thus; the sharp, decisive tones of girl of 20 smote my ear with painful distinctness. About us were the evidences of idle enjoy ment; a hammock, at the side of the tall, slim figure of my companion, quivered from her impulsive exit; rugs, books and basket of needle work proclaimed how. we had been occupied, also hinted at the close tie which, up to this fatal hour, had bound us. The muslin gown of Juno flashed bright against the trunk of a big oak behind her her scarlet lips curved back and showed line of bril- liant white; her eyes sent whitening shaft of disdain, her small head was thrown back haughtily, and her whole attitude was dashed with an unmis- takable air, which might have served for a statue of Defiance" 4.. I was young, tOO-for a man-and my veins throbbed with anger, for she had unhesitatingly opposed her will, her opinion, her argument, to mine. In the heat of this argument both had said bitter things which had best be forgot; and the thing had eliminated in the merciless farewell that cut me to the quick.
