ABOUT TWO PER CENT
Of the State of California Was M- feCtCd by the Recent Earthquake
 Says Governor Pardee

h England, New York and Pennsylvania. On the eastern sea-board Its coast line would extend from Boston on the north to Charleston on the south.
 In some localities the notion Is prevalent that all this great state was shaken by the recent earthquake. Such Is not the fact The earthquake was severe In only about two per cent of the area of the state and as dis turblng factor was confined to dis trict seventy-flve miles north one hundred and twenty-five miles south and fifty miles eastward from San Francisco. Even in this narrow strip of Californla's expanse. the damage from the earthquake was small in comparison with that of the fire of San Francisco. Indeed the Charleston earthquake in 1886 was proportlonately much more destructive to life and property than was the shock. of April 18th In San Francisco The buildings destroyed in San Francisco were not many. None of the "skyscrapers" " and very few of the other buildings suf- fered material damage
 The fire which followed the earth quake, however, destroyed the busl- ness section of the city. The fault along the San Francisco peninsula which slipped co-lncident to the earth quake shock, was unfortunately in the immediate vicinity of the water mains which supplied the city. These were broken. rendering the fire department helpless. Undoubtedly the city will provide against any such contingency hereafter.
 It is unnecessary to compare the San Francisco disaster with the great fire in Chicago, the Galveston flood and other calamities, but is well, per haps, to note that scores of American cities have suffered more proportion ately and actually from flood, fire, pes tilence and cyclones than has San Francisco from the earthqake. The foregoing statement is made to you mot to minimize nor gloss over San Francsco's calamity. for tha- was very great, but to remove the erron- .eous impression wherever 1t may ex- ist that the destruction of our metrop- oils was due In any large degree to the earthquake Though Californla's chief city is momentarlly in distress her people are undaunted by the great misfortune, and San Francisco will arise as other cities have arisen from the ashes of her former greatness.
 So far as California is concerned 1t Is needful only to note that Illinois was not ruined by Chlcago's fire. that South Carolina did not suffer perma- nently from Charlestons troubles. and that Texas. and only state larger in area than this, did not even pause in her marvellous progress because of the Galveston flood. So Californla's two million people are not bankrupt nor seriously affected In their courage or resources as result of the damage to her principal city.
 CallfornIa's mountains. river beds and ancient gravel channels are still rich In gold Her great valleys, two of which are larger than many eastern states, are all of unmeasured fertility On their ten million acres can be raised anything from oranges to pota- toes. The semi-troplcal fruits can be grown from San Diego on the south to
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-06-09

these industries has solved the problem of cheap power for California and yet neither has passed the first stage of development. Add to these our winters of gentle spring and our summers with out enervatng heat, making possible a maximum production per employe, and one may read the future of California among manufacturing States.
 The great harbor of San Francisco is still open to the commerce of the world, and thls connecting link between America and the expanding interests of the Orient, Alaska and the islands of the Pacific has no less value than be- fore the day of the disaster. The great steamship wharves of San Francisco are intact and so are the two great transcontlnental railways. the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe. The three lines of the Southern Pacific report no dlmlnutlon in freight or passenger busi- ness, not even around the Bay of San Francisco, and equally cheering are the advices from the Santa Fe. The third trans continental line to San Francisco, now building, the Western Pacific, is unaffected by the recent trouble and Is going steadily on with its work.
 Callfornia's markets are all the con tinents and islands of the earth. Our thirty-flve thousand cars of apples, peaches. prunes, pears, plums, Walnuts, olives. grapes. ralslns and wines; our thirty thousand carloads of lumber, shipped by land and sea, our train loads of sugar, vegetables and all the multitude of products of our favored soil command that same worldwide market that they have in past years.
 Our universities at Berkeley and Pa 10 Alto are not crippled; our primary schools to high schools In their build ings. their equipment and the high class of instructors the salaries paid command offer now as heretofore, the greatest possible inducement to home seekers desiring the freest avenues for their children towards highest citizen ship. California remains, as California always has been, "The Land of Oppor- tunlty."
 While in our disaster the sympathy and material aid of all the world has been showered upon us, yet there have been those who by their lurld and wild accounts of the events of April 18th and subsequent days have added to our misfortunes. unwlttlngly or otherwise. and endeavored to prejudice us in the minds of those who will listen. The wild accounts. totally without reason. of thousands dead and dying in the streets; half the city shaken down by earthquakes; the tales of wanton mur- der and plunder by the California Ma tional Guard; stories of stretches of the waterfront engulfed In the sea and of deep subsldences of valleys and sea shore; of buildings toppling into the ocean and of yawning chasms swallow ing countrysldes. .-such untrue yarns as these have added to our burden. Un- der ordinary circumstances he people of California smile at the stories related of the State, but this Is not an hour of ease, but one of dark misfortune which should not be painted blacker. Let me again say the city of San Francisco Is burned but not shaken down by the earthquake shock. Above all other misforfunes. this story of San
