Marks Complete Ruin.

All efforts to check the spread of
the flames at Van Ness avenue by
blowing up a mile Of buildings on the
east SIDE Of Van Ness avenue proved
fruitless. The fire has spread across
the broad thoroughfare and from
present indications the entire west
ern addition, which contains the
homes of San Francisco's wealthiest
class, is now doomed. The destruc-
ton of the western addition Of the
city completes the work of the ravag-
ing flames and marks the devastation
of the entire city.

LOSS BEYOND COMPUTING
Streets of Ruined City Scene of Great
Activity All Day Sunday by
Plumbers, Electricians and La
borers- Engaged in Clearing Debris.

San Francisco, SpociaI.-Ihe great
earthquake that wrecked this city last
week, breaking the mains If the water
works and starting 4 fire that burned
out practically the entire city, has
left q trail Of misery aud d~esolation
that cannot yet be fully estimated in
its extent and magnitude.
Refugees estimate The number OF
dead in San Francisco at between
1000 and 2,000 and the property loss
as high as $500, 000.00O.
Fourteen men, suspected Of attempt
robbery e the mint, were killed by
soldiers.
Eleven postel clerks were rescued
alive from the wreck Of the postotIice
building.
Seventy-ive bodies we're taken from
the ruins Of a lodging house and 50
more are in sight.
At first the greatest danger seemed
to be from famine, but the prompt re-
sponses Of the whole country have
brought enough food to relieve the
immediate fears Of distress on that
score.
Sunday a Busy Day.
Had it not been for the sight Of
the rude affairs set up In the open air
wherever San Franclsco's homeless
thousands were camped, Il would
have had some difficulty III finding
any of the peaceful associations OF
-the Sabbath in this city. Everywhere
throughout the burned as we'll as the
remaining section Of the city there
was the greatest activity. Streets
were being cleared of debris, laboreGs
were being repairing water pipes, sew
ers and gas mains, electricians every
where were seeking to untangle the
confusion of wire-in fact, San
Francisco was III the first stages OF
its regeneration.
There are no hungry people now
The gaunt spectre Of starvation has
been banished by the magnificent re-
Spouse Of the people of California III
particular, and by the entire nation IN
general to the appeals that went ont
for assistance.
Overwhelmed With Food.
Food by the car load and boat load
poured into Oakland mole. that the
general committee made al appeal for
skilled labor in handling Of these sup
plies. Grocers, butchers and com
mission men have been requested to
secure men who are familiar with the
handling Of foodstufffs in order Thai
the distribution at the sources Of sta
tions established may go on without
confusion.
The homeless people are no longer
obliged to subsist upon bred and can
ned stuff entirely, as they had been
during the previous days Of their try
ing experience, but were given hot
coffee and canned meats and even
cakes and oranges have come in plen-
tiful supply from southern California
and the sight Of C~alifornia's foGnaus
product was everywhere hailed with
delight.

Dear Sirs: Good yarn: How we got
our agent at Delhi, N. Y.
Gladstone & Paine were agents for
--; we mustn't tell names.
We wanted 'em. Paine was painting
his big Colonial house. Said it took 10
gallons of white for the trim.
We sent him 10 gallons and said: if
you get it all on, no pay; if you have
any left, return it and pay for the rest.
Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took
the agency. -Four or five years ago.
He knows now that his old paint was
and is a~dulterated; that's why it took
ter gallons to equal six of ours.

FOLLOW THE PATTERN OF A
(, JASPER FARMER.
lie Read The Following Article On
The Road Drag And Put 1t \
Into Practice.


The following treatise on the King
Road drag was published in the Rural
Free Delivery News. Wright Bedell,
carrier on route 8 from Jasper gave a
copy OF the article to Mr. Vaught, a
prominent farmer living on his route
southeast OF town and it was not "a
hours until Mr. Vaught had manufac.
tIred drag after the plan advocated
10 the article and has been dragging
the road in front ofhis farm. As a re,
suit there is such an improvement ia
that stretch OF road that the value Of
this inexpensive method Of treating
the roads is so apparent that there is
no question of it:
Accordingly we print the article VITA
MIR yaught's experience and admonish
each farmer who reads it to go thou
and do likewise. 40
For the good Of the cause aud at the
request Of hundreds OF CARRIERS, we re-
PROT the directions for making the road
drag designed by D. Ward King, of
Maitland, Mo. Mr. King deserves the
thahks and encomiuns OF all jewellers
on the dirt roads of the country for his
discovery and the generosity with which
he places it without money and without
price 10 tho hands Of any ono who will
take the trouble to use 1t
This is a work the carrier can do.
Talk the King drag until your patrons
get to work and do the work. Make a
drag and illustrate on any given piece
Of ground. 1t will be money in your
pocket and the whole country side will
arise and call you blessed.
THE PROBLEM
The problem given is the soft or dirt
road. 1t 10 worked" occasionally by
being plowed en- each side and the loose
dirt thrown up toward the middle wax.
ing more or less symetrical oval slop'
ing to the ditch on either side. In coed
weather when the rains are not frequent
or heavy the ruts will be cut down by
the wagon traffic. In rainy weather and
in the spring and fall the ruts are full
of water and the mud holes are worn in
to the surface and made deeper by every
new wagon track. The water that
makes mudholss is held in by tho bot
tom and sides OF dryer earth or frozen
surface. If the water can run of it vii
do so. The problem then is to make I

The solution is the King drag here
