HOW THE BIG NEWSPAPERS
OVERCAME THEIR TROUBLES
It takes more than an earthquake
and onffagration to put the San Fran
cisco newspapers out of business. WITH
resourcefulness that cannot but be
admired they surmounted all Difficult
ties, and today there is little in their
appearance that would indicate the.
strain and stress under which they
have labored in order to present the
news to the eager public of this burned
city Only one of them has suspended
publication. The Evening Post, being
unable 20 acquire plant in the vicinity
of the city, has retired from the field
for sixty days. All others are issuing
as usual.

uaI When the confiagration made 1t
apparent that all plants without ex-
ception would be destroyed, The Bulle-
tin put at work a force in its compos-
ing rooms and a hand bill was hand
set and some hundreds of copies run
off on the proof press, giving the sail
ent features of the days news.
The morning papers-the Call, Chron-
icle and Examiner, retired to Oakland,
on the other side of the bay, and there |
