Ky Dear Mother: / am still alive

Oakland from Saa Francisco. Sup.

Gloss call for my life. Wednesday
morning, the 18th, at 5.13 o'clock
was asleep in the third story OF the
hotel when the first great shake
came. | jumped out of the bed and
ran down the steps and had just
escaped through the door when the
building collapsed and caught on
FIRE. A plank struck me IN the back
but l was not badly hurt. The
landlord aud myself were the only
ones in the hotel who survived.
My roommate and the landlady and
two little children were killed when
the house fell and caught fire.
Everything had was burned, ex-
cept the underwear | had on, but |
am thankful to be alive. There
were hundreds of people killed and
burned to death. The heart of the
city is all burned down. Twelve
and fifteen story buildings we're
destroyed and the city was in flames
for three miles. Great cracks in
the ground were made and houses
went down ten and fifteen feet deep.
The water supply is cut off and the
car lines rendered imperative.
People are sleeping out on the hills
without shelter. Thousands are
dying, some sick and others crazed
from grief. There is nothing to

suppose will soon get something
to eat. 1t is ten miles from San
Francisco and there are ITS, 900 peo-
pie here in the park waiting for
something to eat. People are spf-
fering from thirst and starvation,

fortune ever happening to this

HOW BROOKLYN Is SOLVING THE
WATER PROBLEM.
Millions Of Gallons Brought Up from
Subterranean Channels by
System Of Compressed Air
Power.

While New York has been priding
Itself upon it's Croton reservoir and
putting millions upon millions in a
water system, Brooklyn, just across
the river, has been going down into
the bowels of old mother earth for her
water supply, and has during the past
year succeeded in reaching seeming
ly inexhaustible supplies. Seventy
five per cent. of the present supply of
the city Is produced from underground
sources. It Is revolution that has
been worked within year.
Convinced, by the conclusion OF
earnest and scientific examinations OF
the conditions that a great reservoir
OF water was to be found on Long
island in the second water bearing
gravel stratum underlying the blue
clay, at depths ranging from $50 to
1000 feet, 1t was demanded that a
demonstration be made, the Brooklyn
Eagle being prominent in the effort.
On December "a, 1905, the board of
estimate appropriated 100000 to i'm
prove the water station at Jameco. At
this place there has been 81 wells
sunk under the inefficient methods of
the old authorities. Together they pro.
duced 100000 gallons day, when
they worked. They were practically
under condemnation when they were
put under the air lift system. It was
believed that they were in such shape
that nothing could be done with them.
In less than a year Is have been put
under the new system, the water bear
Ing gravel stratum under the blue clay
has been reached and daily $4,000
gallons is turned into the conduits for
use by Brooklyn. When the other six
wells are put into the same shape it is
estimated that at least 100000 gal.
Ions will be the daily production from
this station alone
In view of the fact that barely a
year ago the conditions were as set
forth above it is astounding that rs
per cent. of the present water supply
of Brooklyn is from underground
sources; 20 per cent. from unfiltered
surface SOURCES. and five per cent.
from filtered sources. The present
daily consumption averages 135,0O0,-
900 gallons daily. 1t has run as high
as 100000 gallons in single day.

be benefited by Don Pedro's gener
| Osity.
To the American mind Don Pedro is
an enigma. 1t is not his philanthropy
that causes the Yankee to wonder, for
the Yankee can be one of the most
generous givers when so inclined, but
it is his Indifference to the making of
money. Although his mine, it is said,
could be worked by an American COM
pany to produce $1,OOO,OOO month,
Don Pedro contents himself with much
less than that amount.
He has been reported as only work
ing the mine now and then when he
needed the cash, but this he denies.
II operate my mining plant" he says,
"the same as you gentlemen from the
United States would if you had it,
but with this difference: | don't try
to dig out all the silver in it at once.
Another strange thing about Don
Pedro is that he loves his poor rela-
tives. He keeps his house at Parral
filled with them. Anybody who can
trace the slightest connection with the
wealthy mine owner, either by birth
or marriage, is welcome within his
gates. And when he cannot spend
his income on his people fast enough
at home, he charters special train,
packs them all aboard and starts off
on a Journey just where he never
knows in advance.
Unlike the average American who
grows wealthy, Don Pedro does not
care for personal attendants. He
shaves himself, cuts his own hair,
blacks his own shoes, and does a
part of his own cooking. After his
wife died he for a long time dressed
his three children himself. Nor is he
circumspect in his spending of money
as many American capitalists. If he
takes a fancy to something he will
buy Of 1t a dozen times as much as
he needs. A year ago he met an Amer.
lean sewing machine agent, who so
interested him in his particular ma.
chine that Don Pedro bought so Of
them, and put one in each room In
his house. Another great source of
enjoyment for this peculiar man is to
give work to the poor. If beggar
asks him for aims he will shake his
head. mo, but I'll let you work for

ply. And thus nearly 100000 gal.
Ions were taken from the supply. A
year previously this could not have
been done without deprivations to the
consumers. AS it was, the public
knew nothing of it while all the
sources of the pond were cleared up
and the condition changed.
It is a question whether all the
wells should not be under the air lift
system. It is fact that the engineers
are all willing to admit that the air
lift method produces double the guam
tity of water obtained under other
methods, while the danger of clogging
at the strainer is much less. But the
methods employed are not of so much
consequence as the fact that the exist
ence of an inexhaustible supply at the
city's very feet has been demonstrated
most conclusively; that its efficient
utilization has also been demonstrated
and beyond controversy; and, that the
extension of the system within
borough lines alone will solve the wa
ter problem of Brooklyn.
