De remembered that two cities are
being built at the same time: one a
city to live and do business in while
the other, permanent, is in the build
ing. All over the city these .shacks
are to be found, but it is evident
that they will remain but short
time, for the permanent structures
are encroaching upon them day by
day, and as the good buildings go up
the poor ones come down.. Since the
latter part of May, when the board
OF works renewed the issuance, of
building permits, there have been
permits to the value of S32, 600. 600
already issued, and in reconstruction
work nearly 100000, QUO have been
spent. This means that something is
doing in the city that is.
OF fifty-seven miles of streets that
were rendered impossible forty miles
have been cleared. and the remaining
seventeen are streets in those parts of
the city which are little used for
traffic. Seventy per cent of the
street car lines are IN active opera
tion, and the rest are being rehabiIi
tated as rapidly as men can do it.
While traffic Of the streets has been
resumed nearly all over the city, even
the sidewalks in the down town dis
trict have been replaced on majority
of the streets. ss-c.'.-
The garish decoration of strange
restaurants may not be so prominent
feature in those haunts where
strangers were taken around China
town, and on the fringe of the Barbary
Coast, or up on Telegraph hill, but
many of the old restaurants are back
on the former location, with just as
good meals, and serving the same
strange dishes. The atmosphere
of which artists and Bohemians rave
will be back long before the city Is
entirely rebuilt. for climate, location
and people have remained, and it is
a combination OF these that make the
genuine San Francisco atmosphere. ~

Promise For the Future.

Promise For the Future.
The gulf of Mexico is a sea 1000
miles long from the straits of Florida
to the harbor of Tampico and 800
miles wide from the mouth of the
Mississippi river to the mouth of the
Coatzacoalcos.
This Mediterranean of the west is
surrounded by countries of extraordi-
nary richness in the fertility of their
soil, the geniality of their climates,
the vastness and value of their for
ests and the variety and extent of
their mineral endowments.
All these countries, capable of sus-
tanning hundreds of millions of people,
are inhabited by nations and races
who live under republican forms of
government and cherish and maintain
free institutions. The northern coast
line of this important sea is in the
great republic of the United States of
North America The southern half is
in the next greatest American repub-
Tic, that of Mexico, while on the east
are the important islands of the West
Indies, with Cuba at their head. The
region around this most important sea
is destined to be far richer, more pow
erful and more distinguished in the
history and affairs of our globe than
were ever those that bordered the
ancient Mediterranean of the eastern
hemisphere, not even excepting Egypt,
Greco and Rome.-New Orleans Plea

SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.

San Francisco, November 28:-San
Francisco is the city that is. and is
no longer the city that was. San
Francisco has found herself, despite
the croakings of those who looked
upon her ruins and predicted evil
and despair. When the disaster came
many of her buildings, but her people
we're left, and OF those who went
away during those days when chaos
reigned, all have come back who can
find place to stay, and fifty Thousand
more are waiting to get in. On every
hand residences, cottages, flats and
apartment houses are gong up as
rapidly as forty thousand skilled
artisans can put material together.
Helping these skilled men in the
building trades are fifteen thousand
ether men removing debris, hauling
material, building street railways,
laying gas and water mains, stringing
electric wires, and doing the thou
sand and one things that must be
done to bring San Francisco back to
her own.
The old atmosphere of San Fran
cisco is here. and when one gets away
from the burned district into that
part of the city which has been chang
ed from the residence portion to a
new business section, he finds the
same gaiety, the same care-tree happy
people, who made San Francisco what
it was before the fre-the best place
to live in on the face of the earth.
Estimates of the population change
every day, and they range from the
most pessimistic of 325, 900 to that of
the most optimistic, 100000. 1t is
safe to say that the latter figure is
not far from the mark.
If one desire to learn what is being
done toward providing homes in San
Francisco let him go over toward
North Beach, between Russian Hill
and Telegraph Hill. There you will
see that the sides of both hills, from
the valley between clear to the top.
are covered with new buildings that
are housing thousands who were
driven away by the fire. Just how
many houses have been built one may
not dare venture even an estimate,
fol- they are going up so rapidly that
today's estimate would be wrong to-
morrow. Down IN the business dis
tIict, where everything was wiped
out, each week now sees changes that
indicate the fultillment of the pre-
diction made in these letters several
months ago-that the world would be
astonished at the rapidity of the re-
construction and rehabilitation of
San Francisco. Hundreds of brick,
and stone, and reinforced concrete
buildings have been finished and
are occupied by business firms. who
are doing more business than they
ever did before the fire. These build
ings are being completed with rapid
ltv that is astonishing even to the
San franciscan who is accustomed to
having things done in hurry.
1t Is said of San Francisco that
city of shacks is going up. 1t should

The Girls School
AT Whittier.
A State Institution that has not
Made Good.
By Arthur j. Pillsbury.

If California had just the right
kind of state school for the educa-
tion and reformation of stubborn and
hayward girls it is not Impossible
that it would now have enrolled as
many as three hundred pupils. 1t is
not improbable that there are as many
as that in the state who need to
attend such school. On the occasion
of my recent visit to the girls de-
partment of the state school at
Whittier there we're thirty seven
girls in attendance, and in my opinion
that was too many.
1ha present management of the
girls school at Whittier is not especi-
ally and prominently to be blamed
for conditions that exist, OF for the
general want of confidence which the
courts, the officers aud the people
entertain for the school. The school
never got off right foot foremost, and
it may be doubted if there has ever
been period In its history when it
rose fully to the requirements of such
a school.
