L. T. Stanton. freight agent of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul. has
returned from a business trip to Santa
Rosa and in speaking of his visit said:
"It is simply wonderful the progress
the people of that enterprising city are
making in rebuilding the place. More
than thirty buildings have already
been restored and there are about
twenty-five under course of construc-
tion. and two of these have steel
frames. l feel confident that the entire
town will be restored before six
months have passed away. The Occi-
dental Hotel will be a fine three-story
reinforced concrete building and C. C.
Donovan has reconstructed his build
ing with walls twenty-seven inches
thick. There is large eastbound

Talk about gratitude and a woman
loving her dog" remarked c. C.
Winder of the Santa Fe. that
is dream. A lady lost her
collie yesterday this side of the
bay and she wired from Point Rich
mond that she would give a liberal
reward for his recovery The transfer
man chased that dog and caught 1t be-
fore the wire came, and so we thought
that there was a fiver in 1t for him.
Back came the lady, and when she saw
that dog you would have thought it
was her grandpa. She kissed and
hugged 81 and wept over 1t. We made
sure then it was a ten spot. There
Were more kisses and hugs and then
she handed out so cents and said nary
a thank you"

ager OF the Santa Fe. wishes TO cor
rect the report that has emanated from
San Jose to the intentions Of his
company to build in that city Bissell
said yesterday: There is mistake in

for us to undertake the work that has
been planned for us Then there is an
other mistake. Ripley never visited
