away of blocks would not serve to
check the flames.
That this fight against the fire con-
tinued for several days Is evil
dent. The whole of the business dis
trict is described as a ruin, in which
1t is impossible to distinguish the
streets, Chinatown is gone, the hotels
are in ashes and the newspaper offices
are burned 1t is not even certain
that the fire is yet under control, al
though 1t seems that 1t would have
almost burned itself out by now. The
wharves at North Beach were on fire
at last accounts.
The burned district, extending by the
brief cabled descriptions as far out as
Dolores street and the Western Addi-
tion, must cover an area of not less
than five miles square, and perhaps is
even larger than that. The property
loss, in that region, the destroyed
property, must foot up into the hum
dreds of millions. OF the loss of life,
an estimate at this time could not
possibly be made.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1906-04-24
From Saturdays Advertiser.)


The worst of the material loss from
the California disaster, so far as II
can now be approximately estimated.
San Francisco is a city in ruins,
desolate waste of blackened cinders,
and charred walls, and gray ashes. AS
the cabled news came to Honolulu yes
terday, relieving the worst of the ten
sion under which the people had suf-
fered. it seems that the seismic dis
turbance must have had its center at
some point directly under the city of
San Francisco, extending down the
peninsula which forms San Francisco
and San Mateo counties, and in lesser
degree across the bay to the Alameda
and Marin county shores.
How far south its force extended,
can not yet be told, but a cablegram
relates to the metropolis of the state,
indicates that Los Angeles is safe. In
ferentially, ii may be concluded that
the worst of the earthquake died away
by the time the wave reached Point
Conception. which is where the noun
tains sweep around to the Coast, and
the geological formation undergoes its
first change before the Coast Range
meets the granite dyke of the Sierras
In the long curve extending to Teha-
chipi. San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara
and Ventura counties may have been
shaken, but were not probably mate
rally disturbed.
CENTER OF DISTURBANCE.
There is no information of serious
disturbance north of San Francisco,
and Oakland has not been destroyed,
but that the shocks were felt all along
the Coast is proven by the fact that
the land Geographic system was all
down in the first hours following the
disaster.
In San Francisco, the first shock
found the city sleeping-all save those
whose business called them abroad In
| the early hours to feed and serve the
rest. That first shock, followed by long
continued and nerve-racking trem-
, blings, amid which high buildings
crashed down like houses of cards and
! fires broke out in every direction, must
| have led thousands awakened from
sleep to rush madly into the street,

The Mclean County Fair As
soc;ation will hold it's annual fair
this year on October Sd, 4th and
5th.
The association has made prepa-
rations to make this the most novel
and interesting exposition in the
Northwest, but to make it complete
let all the progressive people of
the county lend their assistance.
The farmers should see to it that
we have a good exhibit of agricul-
tural products and live stock, but
that is not all. The ladies of Nc
Lean county should show us what
they can do. We have a few Ia
dies in the county who do not know
how to make bread, and they are
certainly unfortunate, but we also
have a goodly number of strictly
frst-class housekeepers in Mclean
county, and the Fair Association
respectfully urge upor you to
show the unfortunate ones that you
can make bread and make it right.
Therefore we have provided a do
mestic department for the display
of bread, biscuits, cake, pies, jel-
lies, preserves, pickles, etc., fol-
which suitable premiums will be
allowed.
We will also have floral, art
and fancy goods department, in
which all the industrious ladies o1
Mclean county should feel inter.
ested. The woman who spends
a part of her spare time in makine
attractive ornaments and fancy
goods to beautify the home, de-
serves decided credit over the
other one who devotes a liberia
share of her spare time in discuss
ing the mistakes of the neighbors
The articles exhibited in tn,
floral, art and fancy goods depart
ment will be given the most prom
nent space in the exhibition hall
and all the ladies should take prid,
in contributing toward making thil
department a credit to yourselve
and an honor to the county.
