since the earthquake, most valuable
souvenir, is pamphlet of "Views of San

Will l.. Craig, former Tionesta boy.
This edition was printed last year and
gives one splendid idea of the wonder
fully beautiful city of the Golden Gate
and much of its suburban scenery now
totally destroyed and laid waste by the
recent calamity. These views are now
more valuable than ever before, and the
REPUBLICAN appreciates very greatly
Mr.. Craig's thoughtfulness in sending
this copy.
