Will San Francisco ever be rebuilt?
Is the question asked by people in
the east. The answer Is that San
Francisco is now being rebuilt 1t is
not Question Of the distant future
The process is visible to the naked
eye. Every steel building that was
under construction at the time of the
disaster Is being rushed to compile

tracted for. and with the removal Of

Gated. Nearly one-half OF all losses
has been paid. Considering the fact
that insurance records, as well as
everything else, went up in smoke,
this is a fairly good showing for five
months. Payments are being made
through the banks at the rate Of near
ly $1,000,000 day. The money goes
into circulation for the most part,
and the resulting activity overshad-
ows the fact that hundreds of other
policy holders are waiting for a set
Element.
The people of San Francisco per-
sonally and through their commercial
organizations, are watching the insur-
ance companies with a jealous eye.
Companies that come to the front
with money are reaping harvest Of
new business, while those which
fought for time or actually repudiated
their obligations in whole or in part
will be made to smart for 1t.

since the disaster. The scene was
appalling. With the exception of a
worker here and there. the destroyed
district was destitute of laboring men.
Ruins, ruins In every direction, as far
as the eye could see; millions of tons
OF bricks and mortar piled up in half
destroyed Easements; a strong breeze
blowing dust and ashes everywhere;
writhing steel beams and crumbling
granite marking the sites of once i'm
posing buildings, and the very thought
Of bringing order out of chaos suffi-
Client to stagger the imagination.
On the next day far different pic
ture was presented. In every base
ment was gang of workmen. They
struggled with Orders, piled brick,
sifted good material from refuse, han
died pick and shovel, mixed mortar
and loaded wagons with debris. Thou
sands OF busy hands were to be seen
down every street. Thousands of
teams went about on the simulIane-
Gus task of removal and reconstruc-
ton.
Little Loss OF population.
To one familiar with the crowds
that made Market street and the fer
ries famous, there does not appear
to be any diminution of population.
The car system Is wholly mad equate,
although herculean efforts have been
made to establish communication.
The ferries are as crowded as ever.
Theaters are filled to suffocation. The
st. Francis hotel put up temporary
structure in Union square, and 1t is
turning away a hundred guests daily.
Other hotels are filled and turning
people away. 1t requires only visit
to San Francisco to disprove the re-
port that the city has lost half its
population.
The quake shook the life out Of
some old firms and fastened the birth
of many new ones. Dozens of stores
bear the names of men who were
clerks before April IS. Merchants
from other cities have stepped in and
established houses here. Competition
is keen, and money appears to be
more plentiful than for many years.
The scarcity Of skilled and un-
skilled labor is the chief drawback TO
rapid construction. Wages are ex-
brilliantly high, but this is the fault
of contractors and proprietors rather
than of the labor unions. The plumb
ers and stationary engineers thought
they saw chance to get rich quick,
and raised their scale, but were not
sustained by the labor council, which

BUILDING UP
SAN FRANCISCO
Citizens Make Marvellous Progress in
the Work of Restoration.
Ne.D Buildings, Finer Than Those Destroyed BY the
Earthquake and Fire, Going Up on Euery Side
"Ciy Beautiful Matter of Time.

San Francisco.--One OF the worlds
great sights Is San Francisco. Cities
have been ruined and ashes have
covered them, but never before I'M
der modern conditions. A city ruined
by earthquake and fire in the old
days meant that the time of recovery
would equal the age of the city up to
the hour OF its destruction. In this
age the very evidences of destruction
are turned into agencies of repair and
Improvement. Fire has rarely failed
to bring about better conditions In a
city. and San Francisco is no excep-
ton to the rule. 1t is not the i'm
provement Of the city that will make
them marvel, however, as much as
the rapidity with which the work
will be accomplished.
The earthquake of April IS caused a
few million dollars damage-possibly
$10,000.000 would cover that loss. The
fire, which had full play after the
quake had broken the water mains,
burned over GA squares, or $500
acres, or four square miles. the total
loss being estimated at 100000, 900.
On this property there was insurance
amounting to about 315,000,000. OF
this insurance about $3.50, 900 had
been paid in cash to policyholders up
TO September Is.
The fire, as everybody knows, de-
stroyed the business district of San
Francisco, but left the shipping and
residence districts intact. Commerce
continued without interruption, ex-
cept such incidental disturbances as
the location of new storage places and
the accumulation of freight Thou
sands of people left the city immedi-
ately after the disaster. but compe-
tent authorities estimate that 90 per
cent, of these refugees have returned.
Their homes being intact they find
that San Francisco is the place for
them, after all, and they are turning
to rebuild the city, either with their
capital or their labor
Bringing Order from Chaos.
When the fire died down on April
81. the people of San Francisco were
confronted with mighty problems,
some of them demanding instant solu-
ton. As this article deals with the
San Francisco of the future and not
of the past, 1t Is not necessary to go
into details regarding the remarkable
ability shown by the committee of If
ty in providing for the wants of the
hungry and shelterless. writes Ira E.
Bennett, in the New York Press. That

TIE STORY.

onT
u Ajax, king Of the Moabites, was
~ in sore trouble For days and
nights now he had neither eaten nor
slept, for not one but scores of mes
sengers had come in haste to his pal
ace during the past month with alarm
ing stories OF strange and terrible
people who had come out of Egypt
and were sweeping the inhabitants of
the land before them.
At first he had received the reports
with disdain, declaring that the
mighty men of Moab were able to
withstand such enemies, but as the
reports grew more alarming and he
had been informed fully as to the
fearful destruction of the Amorites, a
fierce and powerful people to the
south of his domain, his confidence
had quite deserted him. In his anx-
iety he had gone out to one OF the
high mountains overlooking the place
where Israel lay cncamped, and as his
eyes took in the great stretch OF tents
and noted the military precision and

out, he found little to reassure MIN.
THAT is their tabernacle" replied
an attendant in response to his query
as he pointed to the square-shaped
tent in the center Of the camp. And
Il is there their God is said to have
His dwelling place. and that cloud
which you see lowering above the
tabernacle is the visible presence OF
their God. The people through whose
country they have passed told me that
II is this cloud which has led them all
the way from Egypt, and has given
them victory over their enemies"
"How strange and mysterious 1t
seems" responded the king, as a
superstitious SILVER passed over hipa.
1T looks almost like a thing of life
as 1t sways there above the taber-
nncle.'
Fascinated, seemingly. by the sight,
the king long stood there watching

companies. The California delegation
in congress will have something to
say on the subject next winter The
names of defaultihg companies are
to be sent broadcast through the
world, and the opinion is universal in
San Francisco that in the long run
the defaulting companies will dis
cover that they played a losing game
when they defrauded policy holders Of
their rights.
Insurance litigation promises to
become great Policy holders who
have money enough to fight are not
slow in invoking the aid of the courts.
One or two important cases already
have been decided, but the critical
question is yet to be passed upon.
This question is as to the part played
by the earthquake in causing fire
losses. Policies are variously word
ed, but in the main they provide that
payment shall not be made If the
loss is caused directly or indirect
ly" by earthquake or other act Of
God. OF course, If there had been
no earthquake there would have been
no fire, but the man whose house was
consumed three days after the
cause Is quite close enough to the
effect to justify the insurance COM
panies In repudiating all liability.

During the disaster the good humor
and self-possession Of San Francis
cans .astonished the world Now, in
the long tug OF disposing of the
ashes and rebuilding the city, this
good humor never deserts them, and
they are as confident as though they
were beginning city for the first
time. There is inspiration in num-
bers, comfort in common trouble, and
a spirit of brotherhood that has not
deserted them, although it is not as
marked as 1t was during times of
danger. The love of good cheer in
the way of eating, drinking and lis
tening to music is as strong as ever.
The climax is continual tonic, and

TORY, by comparing their disaster with
the fate of other cities that have per-
ished by earthquake and fire, and
risen again. According to these men,
who cite history while making Il,
the only bonfire that excelled San
Francisco's was that which con-
sumed Rome in Nero's time. The
great fires of London, Boston, Chi
cago and Baltimore were mere hints
Of what a real conflagration can do.
So say these dusty, smiling, tireless
San Franciscans, who revel In the

SERMON ETTE.

Balaam is one of the strange,
inconsistent characters we find
In the Bible. Although not a
Hebrew, but a dweller among
the heather, yet in some way
which Scripture does not reveal
he was possessed of a certain
knowledge Of the one true God.
The most important question
which arises in connection with
BaIaam Is: Did he live up to
the light that he had? BY this
question we may measure the
man, and perhaps discover why
he presents so weak, SO miser-
able a picture and plunges at
last upon the very swords of the
people of the God in whom he
believed.
There is no evidence to show
that eaIaam, enlightened with
knowledge Of the true God,
sought to let the light shine and
win the people among whom he
dWelt from their heathenisn. In
fact, we find to the contrary,
for IL is certain that he debased
his knowledge Of the true God,
and his brilliant attainments,
trafficklne in them for the gold
and favor of kings.
How dcplorable is the condl-
ton of the soul that lives not up
to the privilege of its light, that
reduces everything to the cur
rency of this world, and Is con-
tent to dwell on the low plane
of the merely sensual and tenn
poral.
BALKAN knew the true God,
but there were some things he
cared more for than the true
God. How true this is of multi
tudes in the world to-day. They
have knowledge of the true God,
and yet they prefer to dwell
apart from Gods people, they
covet the things of the world
and gladly receive the homage
and tribute of the people of the
world.
II was BaIaam's wilfulne5s
and not Gods graciousness
which at last wrung the permits
sion to 90 with Balak's messen-
gers. And BaIaam Is not the
last person whose Wiilfui, per-
verse heart has overriden the
expressed will Of God.
Balaam could hobnob with
kings who we're plotting the
downfall of Gods people, but he
could not alter the Divine pur-
poses concerning them. How
limited after all are the powers
Of evil.
A consecrated heart never
goes with an itching palm.
It is possible for one to see
with the clearness of an angel
Of light, and live like creature
Of darkness.
To know God and to live God
are two different propositions.
The one Is like the electrical
apparatus all equipped fer use,
the other is the apparatus with
the current turned on perform
ing its functions.
High and holy gifts may be
Irostituted to Ease uses.
II is a poor testimonial to
mans religion when he can live
in a community without making
II better.

debris and the arrival of materials
the work will proceed. Nothing could
be more absurd than to doubt the re-
great misfortune, in the face of the
| work that Is actually in progress.
The contract for the reconstruction of
the Palace hotel on it's old site, on
grander scale than ever, has been
let The st. Francis is now complet-
ing it's great steel annex. Business
houses are arranging to build newer
and stronger structures than those
which succumbed to the conflagration
of April Is to 81. The city will not
be rebuilt in day, or year, but 1t
will go up with remarkable quick
ness.
"city Beautiful" Must Wait.
There has been much talk of a "city
beautiful" with winding avenues
about the hills, broad boulevards, park
extensions, and so on. 1t was thought
that with the buildings leveled to
the ground the opportunity was open
for the construction OF a model mod
ern city, uniting utility and beauty to
degree never yet approached in
America. A little study of the sit
uation shows that this is nothing but
dream. San Francisco people have
enough on their hands in the way of
getting into business again, in any
shape, without tackling the great
task of forming city on aesthetic
lines. Here and there a street may
be widened and a little park estab-
lished, but in the main there will be
no attempt to reform the plans upon
which the city was built.
The railroads terminating at San
Francisco are among the most potent
forces in rebuilding the city. They
saved San Francisco from panic and
possible greater disaster during the
time of stress by carrying away thou
sands Of people, free of charge, and
bringing in emergency supplies.
After the crisis the railroads turned
in and assisted in the removal of
debris. Temporary tracks were laid
and rehabilitation was immensely as
sisted. Merchants ordered big stocks
OF goods from the east, and the rail-
roads rushed the stun to San Fran
cisco. There was a time, indeed,
when the stuff piled up to such an
extent as TO paralyze the operation
of the roads. Five thousand cars of
freight we're congested at San Fran
cisco and Oakland. BY heroic eff
forts the lingering freight was dis
posed of and a serious situation re-
lieved. Now that the railroads are
able to look after their own business,
they are expanding great sums in
permanent improvement. which will
facilitate the reconstruction Of the
city.
Insurance. Situation Hurts.
The insurance situation at San
Francisco is exasperating to those
who happened to have policies in
shaky or dishonest companies, but
on the whole the lapses of these COM
panies have not affected the city
as seriously as early reports indi-

esting and inspiring one. Another
pressing problem, however, was that
OF clearing the streets in order that
communication might be restored.
Thirty-six miles Of streets were piled
high with debris. Within FIVE months
this enormous mass Of material has
been removed, trolley wires have been
strung, street car traflc reestablished
and a system of debris removal inau-
gurated which disposes of 100 car
loads day. IL more labor were to
be had the work would go much
faster.

year on Monday. September 10. saw

is an amalgamation Of all the unions,
and the old wages were restored. But
the owners OF buildings which were
nearing completion at the time of the
disaster are feverish In their anxiety
to complete their buildings and obtain
famine rentals, and their tactics in
raising tho wages of workingmen
have caused labor prices to soar. On
this emergency work plasterers are
getting 80 to $11 day; bricklayers,
$40 day; carpenters. 81 and So;
