extent of the territory that doomed. Sud
denly there was whispered alarm up and dowp
the long line Of watchers. and they hurried
away. TO drag clothing. cooking utensils and
scanty provisions through the streets. From
Grant avenue the procession moved westward.
Men and women dragged trunks, packed huge
bundles Of blankets. boxes Of provisions-every-
thing. Wagons could not be hired except by
paying the most extortionate rates.
But there was no panic. The people are calm
stunned. They not 70 realize the extent Of
the calamity. They hear that the city is de-

cerned; they tell each other in the most natural
tones that their homes were destroyed by the
flames. But there is no hysterta, no outcry. no
criticism.
