Thus, combating the idea that San
Francisco Is dangerous place be-
cause of earthquakes, the sturdy ciii

blow fell, began to make plans to re-
build their city. The fires along Mar

traffic that threaded among the ruins
that lay between the ferry house and
the western addition. BY Saturday
morning people were coming back. BY
Monday they were coming back in
crowds, bringing back the household
goods that they had been fortunate
enough to save. Most of those who
returned were able-bodied men. All
realized that so far as circumstances
permitted, women and children would
do well to leave San Francisco for
awhile, although there were many
women who declared that what was
good enough for their fathers, broth

do nicely for them. The brave wom-

tightening the labors of those who
seek to rear up another city by the
Golden Gate! Some who had reached
places of safety refused to stay out,
but went back to rejoin their loved

Whole Country INTERESTED.
There is material problem which
bears upon the rebuilding. It Is a
question OF enlightened self-interest
that affects the entire country. Ii
San Francisco had persisted from the
earth, never to be rebuilt, scores of
business houses and banks throughout
the United States would be dragged
down in the general wreck. They can
not afford to go, or the communities
In which they are situated to have
them 60. Therefore, If for no other
reason, the business community of the
country viii see that 9 great business
center is reestablished where San
Francisco stood. The railroads that
focus there cannot afford to have the
greatest city of the Pacific coast re-
moved to another point. The business
life of the great trans-mountain west
converges upon San Francisco. and il
the currents were to be diverted the
upheaval would be terrific. MOI cover,
shrewd men have grasped the fact
that equal chances await all in tie
new city, and are Fastening thither,
II they have not already gone, ready
to invest their capital, much or little,
with the large faith that has charac-
terized the west throughout It's entire
history.

Los Angeles, on the moment that the
news of the earthquake arrived, began

disaster eight cars of provisions left
for San Francisco, going by way of

day, and the good women of Los An

at the disposal of the great throng of
homeless people to enable them to find

started toward the smoking pile that
had once been San Francisco. On the
very first day car upon car Of provi-
sions, followed by handsome relief
fund, expressed In tangible and prac-
ttcal form the sympathy of the Fresno
folk. In giving credit to any city for
being first at hand with relief 1t must
be remembered that so far as Oakland
was concerned, there was no such
thing as first" Oakland was at hand
with material aid, and the sympathy
that surpasses the power of words to
express, from the very instant that
the stroke fell, even before the outer
cities knew that 1t had fallen. AL
though they themselves suffered In no
small measure from the earth tremor,
the Oaklanders threw open their
homes, albeit some of them were sadly
damaged, to their neighbors from
across the bay. When the homes
were full the churches, all public build
ings and halls, were converted into
barracks, where every available inch
of space was occupied by improvised
beds. Long tables were laid, big
kitchens equipped and manned aod
free meals served to the destitute.
Daughters of aristocratic families
worked long days and nights at their
churches carrying food to women who
had never known anything but toll
in their lives, and ministering to chill
dren from the tenements. Even in the
midst OF their misfortunes many of
the refugees, more particularly the
women, refused to be burden, but
demanded to be allowed ito do some
thing to help" The only condition
imposed upon the recipients OF this
hospitality-for 1t was not charity
was that those who had money must
get their meals at the restaurants.
The relief workers fed only the desti-
tute, and these included oftentimes
those who had lived in affluence up
to the morning of April Is. The res
taurants did not advance their prices,
despite the temptation offered by siege
conditions. Even had not martial law
frowned sternly upon such tendencies,
the citizens Of Oakland would have
done so, and the restauranteur or
provision dealer who should have at
tempted to traffic on the misfortunes
of his neighbors would have been
shown his mistake In no eQuivocal
manner. So it came about that the
refugee who possessed quarter of a
dollar could dine heartily, and he who
had but dime could eat substantial
luncheon.
