PLANNING THE NEW CITY.

1t is a stupendous rebuilding task
which cOnfronts the resolute citizens
of San Francisco. The crucial step in
the whole matters will be the determin-
alton as to what changes shall be made
in the general street plan of the city.
The street plans of all great cities
today exhibit serious defects. This
fact has been gaining recognition in
America chiefly within the last decade,
and San Francisco has been particu-
larly alert to the idea. The compe-
tition carried out for a general land
scape scheme for the state university
grounds and buildings at Berkeley EN-
phasized that idea. Several years ago
inquiries were promoted in Europe, in
behalf of San Francisco, respecting the
subject of city planning. About a year
ago Mr.. Daniel H. Burnham made a
study for an improved street plan with
civic center and so forth for certain
portions of San Francisco. Some OF
Mr.. Burnham's sketches were repro
duced in Sundays Tribune. Presuma-
bly, he would have suggested still great
er changes had he been considering
the fire swept San Francisco of today.
The ~rebuilders must at the outset de-
eide whether his scheme, or even some
still more drastic one, shall be perfect
ed and adopted as the basis of the new
San Francisco, or whether the old
street plan shall be perpetuated.
History proves hat it is by no means
an easy matter to secure an idealistiC
Encouragement of streets after an ur
ban district has been cleared by o
great fire. Sir Christopher Wren pro
posed such a Encouragement in place
of the haphazard street lines of the
heart Of London after the great fire.
But people were too little impressed
with the advantages Of the plan and
too impatient of delay to permit of its
acceptance. London was rebuilt prac.
tically on the old street lines-and
millions upon millions of dollars have
been spent within the last half century
in merely correcting these lines at
some few points. Chicago vas rebuilt
after 1871 on the precise ante-hre
street plan. Certain street ~widenings
and changes of grade were made in
Baltimore after the fire there two years
ago, but these changes were limited in
extent and involved no essential mod.
iication of the general street scheme.
People were so DANGEROUSLY eager to
get their places of business rebuilt, and
thus TO prevent their interrupted trade
from being permanently captured by
other cities, that they would not toIer-
ate delays and increased expense for
the sake of a finer civic picture.
All experience shows that great fires
are not precursors of idealistic rear
rangements Of urban street plans. It
remains to be seen whether San Fran
cisco will prove an exception to this
rule. The interest already existent and
the work already done there respecting
this subject should aid toward making
that city such ar exception. 1t is also
safe to say that any investment of pa

POST LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
The Denver Post says:

The Denver POST says:
In the last stages Of the discussion
OF the statehood bill in the senate, Sen
ator Warren introduced an amendment
providing that where any part OF the
eeuon OF the land granted by the
act Tor school purposes had been duly
tried and claimed under the United
States mining laws, and where the
land so located was found TO be NaIua
BILE for miners, such claims might De
perfected under the mining laws II
the state could select for school pur-
poses an equal quantity of other land
The Post then proceeds to make THIS
the basis of an attack by %inuendo, in
sinuatlon and direct charge upon Sena-
tor Warren,
The Tribune has not seen the amend
ment but II land HAS BEEN DULY
TRIED AND CLAIMED UNDER THE
UNITED STATES MINING LAWS ana
the state given an equal quantity OF
other land we fail to see where an un.
fair advantage could be taken of any
one.
Land can not be taken up under
federal law except by due legal pro
cess and if the federal land officers dc
their duty all the world has notice II 4
chooses to heed.-Cheyenne Tribune.
1t as been the universal policy O
the government, through the land de
partment, to permit miners who have
unprotected claims upon school sec
lions to perfect them subsequent t.
the admission of states. The evidence
required is that the lands in question
were known to be mineral in character
prior to statehood. And this is all
there was, apparently, to the Warren
amendment. 1t was the purpose of the
senator to make certain the rights of
men owning mineral claims at the time
of the passage of the statehood bill and
to permit the state to select lieu lands
instead, 1t is the rule in Wyoming and
has been the rule in all the western
mining states. Anything else would be
the rankest kind of injustice.
But no matter what stand a man may
take, there will be carping critics and
human vultures at hand. The miners
of the west and of the new states may
thank their lucky stars that there are
men in congress like Senator Warren
who have the ability and the courage
to stand up for their rights, regardless
of the slurs and inuendoes of such men
as those who control the Denver Post.
They ave shown their spleen and have
convicted themselves out of their W
months.

Testing the British Navy.

1t has long been British policy to
maintain a naval force that should be
superior to any combination of oppon-
ents, and in order to see if their pres
ent navy is up to the standard a series
ortostshaye been arranged for. Experts
claim it will be the greatest naval dis.
play assembled. The greatest med
icine ever compounded for common all
ments of mankind during the past 81
years is the famous Hostetter's Stom
ach Bitters. 1t has been subjected to
the most severe tests and the results
have always been satisfactory. Then,
why experiment with comparatively un-
known remedies when you can just as
easily get Hostetter's. For curing and
preventing heartburn, belching, poor
appetite, cramps, headache, sour ris-
ings, dyspepsia, indigestion, costive-
ness, female ills or malaria it is excel
lent. Try a bottle at once.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In ls43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and @
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days It
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and eX-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just rs nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, il we but take the pains
TO find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies eX-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these ont,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief OF these was rare combina-
tion of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia e. Pink
hams friends and Deighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with.
out money and without price, as a
labor OF love.
But in 1879 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen.
NAL year dawned it found their prop.
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter
with their mother, combined forces 70
