San Francisco, April 27.-(Special
from Stanford University DIR. David
Stair Jordan says as to the cause of
the hefearthquake and the path it took:
THE recent disturbance is the result
of a fault or break in the inner, hard
crust of the earth. AS far as we can
trace it, it began near Glenellen, Sono-
ma county, extended past Valencia
street, San Francisco, through San
Bruno Baden, between San Mateo and
south of the Stanford university then
apparently across to near Pajaro and
Salinas.
practically 1t is one of the earth
throes by which this peninsula has
been formed and folded. 1t has moth
ing to do with Vesuvius or any other
volcano, and 1t is not likely to be re-
peated for many years"
Stanford experts will follow the
course of the earthquake and investi-
gate conditions.
The Realty Syndicate, wealthy
corporation, is making plans to al
once reclaim 500 acres of tideland
near the Southern Pacific pier, on the
oakland shore, and construct wharves
where. big steamers can land. Plans
for monster tide locks have already
been drawn.
The distribution of supplies is pro-
ceeding without a hitch. The indig-
| nation felt by local committees over
the presidents order placing the Red
Cross in entire charge of the funds
for relief work subsided on receipt OF
the second order leaving the commit

Fire Rates Will Advance.

Chicago, April 27.-The Tribune to-
day says:
There will be a general advance in
fire insurance rates in the business
centers of all cities In the United
States in the near future to enable
the companies to recuperate in a
measure their San Francisco losses.
A meeting of all western managers
was held in Chicago yesterday to dis
cuss the situation. The governing
committee of the Western Union, the
large legislative body Of the west, de-
cded that in the face of present con-
ditions an advance must be made.
Eastern officials had advised their
western men to prepare for the in
crease, and the meeting approved the
plan.
The advances will go into effect
simultaneously over the country.

FEE OF $1,000 FOR RIDING.
Elks VIII Witness "Broncho Busting
at Denver I'm July.

Denver. April 27.-Perhaps the
highest fee ever given to a horseman
for riding one animal will be given a
"broncho buster from the cattle
ranges in Wyoming, who will give a
performance Of riding a wild horse
before the Elks delegates who come
to Denver to attend the annual reun-
ion In July.
A wild horse show will be given for
the entertainment of the visitors and
the champion broncho rider Of the
west will be given $1,000 to ride a wild
horse for five minutes in the presence
of the assembled multitude.
A great amphitheatre has been put
up for the show, which will consist of
an exemplification of all the wild and
eccentric doings of the cattle country,
such as roping wild steers and horses,
breaking wild horses in the presence
of the audience, and tying and brand
ing vicious long-horned cattle Just
driven in from the plains.
The primitive stage coaches and rel
les of early pioneer days will all be
pressed into service, and tribe of
Indians will be camped in the public
park for the edification of the east
ern visitors.
The champion cowboy broncho bus
ter of the west will probably be
thrown from the wild stallion brought
in from the plains, which has never
known saddle or halter. He is under
agreement to remain five minutes on
the horses back, and If he is thrown
he is expected to remount. He gets
his $1,000 If he comes out of the con-
test with the savage stallion alive.

That scab among the sheep of
eastern Oregon is now more prevalent
than It was last year, is the conclu-
sion of R. A. Ramsay, supervising in
spector of the United States bureau Of
animal industry, who has been here
for several days past investigating
conditions.
Mr.. Ramsay came here from Nom
tana to look over the general condi-
tions, and especially regarding the
scab. His visit was made at the in
stance of Montana men who buy sheep
here and ship to the ranges in that
state. Under present regulations the
shipment of such sheep is a difficult
matter. and the buyers were in hopes
the quarantine regulations could be
relaxed somewhat.
However, Mr.. Ramsay says reports
received upon the subject from the
federal deputies, county stock inspect
ors and from sheepmen themselves all
| indicate that the situation is even
worse than it was last year. Conse-
quently the request of the Montans.
men cannot be granted.
At present Idaho is the only state-
west of the Mississippi from which
sheep may be shipped without Dip
ping. This is due to the fact that the
men of that state have taken such
measures that they have nearly blot
ted out the scab. However, the feder--
al quarantine is still in force there,
and all sheep must be inspected be-
fore shipment though the dipping is
not required as in the other states. :.
G. s. Hicllok Is Here.
! George S. Hickok, chief of the
western division of the bureau of AMI
NAL industry, has also been in the city
today, and he and Mr.. Ramsay have
been in consultation regarding their
work. Mr. Hickok's headquarters are
in Salt Lake, and he will leave this
evening for Walla Walla to attend the
woolgrowers' convention, which is to
be held there tomorrow. &

Business Is Prize.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

New York. Aug. For the next
year or two at least the Illinois Central
is to remain the Illinois Central. For
that length of time. and perhaps much
longer. all that its name stands for in
the way Of Independent action. lib
crafty toward the communities it
serves, and the frank good faith with
it's security holders is to be preserved
This fact is of the greatest impor-
lance to a far larger section of the
country than is actually reached by
its lines.
Those who understand Mr.. Harri-
mans ideas best are by no means
persuaded that he has given up his
intention of dominating the road. He
began his campaign too many years
ago, and on too comprehensive a plan
to be diverted by a single defeat. The
Railroad Securities company, it is gen
orally believed. was organized for no
other purpose than to enable Harri-
man interests to tie up Illinois Central
stock without tieing up capital. But
the events of the past ten days make
his ultimate success appear rather
more doubtful than it did before.
The independence of the Illinois
Central lends strength to the traffic
position of all the Hartman roads
having terminal points at Omaha,
Chicago, and half a dozen places be-
tween the lakes and the gulf. 1t is
probably of most importance to the
Rock Island Frisco system, as it is by
means of its relations with the Illinois
Central that that group participates in
the growing export grain trade of New
Orleans.
1t was by making this agreement
that President Fish first engendered
Mr.. Harriman's hostility. AS a d.
rector of the Illinois Central Mr.. Har-
riman could not object to it, but as
president of the Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific he could think of it only
in exclamation points.
BY reason of the unique north and
south position of its main stem, con-
Meeting the lakes with the gulf and
having at either end a freight center
of immense importance, control of the
Illinois Central would be an asset of
immense value to any of the larger
Western roads. But by the same meas
ure the exclusive domination of the
route by any one road would work
damage to all the others. Hence the
interests of the Hill roads, the Rock
Island Frisco. the st. Paul, the Gould
roads. and the others are all on the
side of President Fish
With such a vast amount ofgcapitaI
concerned in the outcome of the con-
test it might seem surprising that
President Fish should not find power
full allies outside the ranks of his own
directors and stockholders. Probably
he would if all of these other interests
ID not have Their own points of contact
with the Hartman dominiOns demand
ing their care and discouraging what
might be regarded as perniciOus ac-
tivity.
Furthermore. the fight is not an
open one. Not even the balance Of
power let alone control of the road, is
in the market.

The farm folks northwest of An
