ing the word railroads" instead Of
the phrase Common carriers" He
gave immediate attention to the con.
tention that the change has the effect
of eliminating pipe lines from the re-
quirement of the bill. He said that
West Virginia is the largest oil pro-
Queer in the Union and that the great
er part of the oil is sold to the pipe
line owners so that the owners trans
port their own oil and are not strictly
speaking common carriers.

cept the theory that the proposed
legislation would injure the independ-
ent oil companies, nor did he believe
that the protests were u~ninfluenced
by the Standard company. In support
of this statement he read q letter
from George F. Getty of Bartlesville,
I. T., president of the Minnehoma Oil
company, in which the writer said he
had been called into the local Office of
the Standard company and asked to
forward kilograms of protest to SEN
ators and congressman, the Standard
agent supplying the form and volun'
teering to pay the cost of transmits
sion. He announced his opposition
both to the commodity and the pass
compromise.

First Stages of Rebuilding.

San Francisco, April 29.-The new
San Francisco that Will rise from the
ashes of the old, today was in its first
stages Of rebuilding. After five. days
of confusion and almost superhuman
effort on the part of citizens of Califor-
MAS metropolis in the great task Of
sheltering, feeding and otherwise car
ing for the homeless thousands, COM
plete order has been established and
attention turned to the future.
Throughout the great business quar-
ter where the devastation by fire was
the most complete, dangerous walls
were razed, buildings that had not been
disintegrated by fire were inspected
with view of re-occupancy, and
ground was immediately cleared for
the immediate construction of build
ings in which to resume business at
the earliest possible time.
Confidence has been restored by the
assurance of insurance companies, the
measures taken by the financial insti-
tutions, the prompt and reassuring
words that have reached the business
men of San Francisco from Eastern fl
nancial centers. All these things dis
PEELED the feeling of uncertainty.

A Colossal Loss.

Reliable reports place the fire loss in
San Francisco at nearly $3.50, 900, 900,
which makes the confagration there
the most costly in modern history. A
day or so after the Baltimore fire it was
estimated that the loss here was $75,-
100000, but the fact that the salvage
returns were Unexpectedly large re-
duced this latter to about $50, 900, 900 or
$50, 900, 900. Against this loss stood
thirty-odd millions of insurance.
In this connection it may be of some
interest to recall the losses resulting
from the more destructive American
fires of the last two generations. The
