A FRISCO OF CONCRETE.
New York Contractor Thinks That Is
the Best Solution.

New York Contractor Thinks That Is,
the Best Solution.
Reports received by Frank B. Gill
breth New York contractor, from his
engineer, James Mclaughlin, who went
down from Seattle to San francisco
the day after the earthquake to look
into conditions for rebuilding. Indicate
that he believes the new city of San
Francisco will be city of concrete,
says the New York Times. Already Mr..
Gilbreth, who is erecting some of the
largest structures on the Pacific coast.
is preparing to undertake contracts
calling for reinforced and monolithic
construction which shall be earthquake
proof as far as modern methods can
make them and absolutely fireproof.
81 am free to predict" said Mr.. Gil
breth that the future San Francisco
will be erected almost entirely of con-
crete If it had not been for the sus-
ceptibility of the buildings to flames
after the CONFUSION the greater part
Of the western metropolis would be
standing today. Already Seattle has
taken warning, and the Columbia I'M
provement company, which is build
ing a power house valued at $500000,
has changed its plans and will put up
instead of a steel structure one of mon
olithic concrete construction. This, it
is hoped, will withstand any ordinary
earthquake shock and will be absolute
ly fireproof. This change of plan shows
how quickly the people of the western
coast are taking advantage of the les
son taught by the disaster. Any fool
ish reports that San Francisco will not
be rebuilt you may put down as unfit
for belief. The city will rise just as.
quickly as Chicago did. It is not so
much the earthquake that we must
guard against as fire. Concrete is the
only solution"

from the earth's tremors, that sky
scrapers made their appearance on the
Pacific coast.
The last earthquake that occurred ia
San Francisco was about the middle Of
January, 1900. Several distinct shocks
were felt early in the morning, causing
the vibration of buildings all over the
city. The chief building affected was
the st. Nicholas hotel, which was Sc
yerely shaken. The walls collapsed in
certain parts of the structure, patrons
were thrown out of their beds and fur
niture was destroyed.
In 1904 there was severe seismic
disturbance in Los Angeles, which was
felt throughout the city and for radi-
us of several miles all around. No ac-
tual damage was done, but this was
the most severe shock that ever has
been felt in southern California.

A lawyers Earthquake Prophecy,


It is always easy to say Il told you
so'' after thing has happened, but
thirty years ago there lived in San
Francisco a lawyer, man Of the world,
and popular member of the Bohemian
Club, and if he is alive today he can
with accuracy claim the distinction of
predicting the destruction of his city,
says the Chicago Post. 1t was after a
slight earthquake shock, and small
party of gentlemen sat in the Bohe-
mian Club discussing earthquakes in
general and the California variety in
particular and all for the benefit and
instruction of a visitor from the east.
The lawyer expressed his unhesitating
opinion that eventually San Francisco
would be overthrow, If not absolutely
wiped out. by an earthquake, and he
gave learned reasons for this opinion,
many of which have been advanced
by the scientists since the recent shock.
Other San Franciscans present laughed
at him, and jokingly advised him to
get out Of town at once, whereupon he
admitted that while he was perfectly
sincere in his views he had no inten-
ton Of leaving town, even though the
destructive shock were scheduled for
the following week, as he would
rather die in San francisco than
live anywhere else. Chicago Evening
Post.

CONWAY ON FRISCO QUAKE
British Mountain Climber Says Cool
Ing Earth Caused Shock.

ing Earth Caused Shock.
The cooling of the earth and the sub
sequent shrinking Of the surface, ac-
cording to Sir Martin Conway, F. R. G.
S., the noted British mountain climber,
who arrived at New York recently on
the Cunarder Campania, caused the
great San Francisco earthquake
1.-THE western mountain range, ex-
tending through North and South
America, is constantly growing" said
Sir Martin. .sAs the cooling process
goes on the earth shrinks, and, like the
skin on drying apple, as the sphere
gets smaller the outer covering settles
in some places and in others is forced
up in ridges.
saThese ridges are the mountains.
Now, as the process goes on, the ridges
get forced further up. The mountains
in the west grow probably six feet in
century. This being so, every once
in a while something slips, and then we
have disaster like that in San Fran
CISCO
1.-TWO or three shocks may come in
succession, and then there will be no
other disturbance for a hundred years.
No one can tell when they are coming.
Why this earthquake happened on the
west side of the mountain range and
not on the east is, | suppose, because
that is the weaker side"

HOMES FOR THE STRICKEN.
Rent Free For Year Proposed by
Pittsburx Real Estate Men.

Rent Free For q Year Proposed by
Pittsburg Real Estate Men.
If plans recently set going can be
carried out 1000 stricken families viii
be carried free from San Francisco to
Pittsburg. where they will receive
homes rent free for one year and at
the same time heads of the families
will have all the work they can do in
order that they may once more get
start in life, says Pittsburg special
dispatch to the New York Times.
This novel plan Of helping the desti-
tute in the far west was decided on
by several real estate men and persons
with money John Murphy, banker,
made the public announcement that he
would give ten of his houses rent free
for one year to families from the coast
and would also give steady employ
ment not only to the heads Of these
families, but many more that might
come with the others. Mr.. Murphy
had several long conferences with
other business men and said recently:
eve have decided to ask the Cali
fornia Relief Fund association here to
work with us in this plan for helping
the people of stricken California. If
they win spend part of the money
turned in for help in bringing to Pitts
burg 1000 families who want to leave
the coast, we will give them their
houses rent free for a year / have not
many houses, but viii donate ten for
the year. The many men | talked to
today are in favor of my plan, and /
am satisfied that it will be go.
There are thousands in San Francisco
who want to get away from there now
Ito leave the region forever. but they
have lost their all, and now is the time
to set them up in homes and in work.
There is $20000,0O0 worth of building
alone planned for Pittsburg this sum
mer, and we shall be scarce of help"

san Francisco.

How weak man Isl He propagates
His doctrines of the rule of states
And III his large, ambitious way
Imagines he holds royal sway
Of Nature and her ministers,
And what is his must govern hers.
He measures forces with her, and
He occupies the sea and land;
He builds huge ships; he marks the earth
With monsters of mechanic birth;
He makes the yellow desert green;
He gives fat harvests for the lean;
He plucks the lightning, yet unborn,
From earth and air and meets with scorn
The darkness and the lack of power;
His engines and his wires devour
Both time and distance, and he wraps
His words around the earth and taps
The air with his commands: all arts
And science are but fraction parts
OF man. the integer; the very throne
OF God seems destined for his own
When suddenly the awful frown
OF Nature falls Upon the crown
That man assun7es-poor, puny thing
That thought itself SO great king
And all hts glory and his power
In one brief. trembling, dreadful hour
Sink into ruin, and he dies
Amidst his persisted victories
How weak man Isl And still he's great:
Nor death nor any other state
Can crush him quite, or if it should
He lives again and soon makes good
What he has lost The infinite
Is In his spirit, and through 1t
He rises smiling, hopeful. brave,
Superior to any grave.
And San Francisco, stricken town,
In earthquake and in fire gone down,
VIII rise again The whole world stands
With outstretched, willing, able hands
To render all the help 1t can
TO crushed but still rncOnuuered man.

HOW STEEL STOOD 1T.
Testimony In Favor of Big skeleton
Structures.

Testimony IN FaVOr OF Big SAeAetOn
Structures.
f. W. Leadbetter, president of the
Portland chamber of commerce, who
arrived at Portland, Ore, from San
Francisco recently, said:
practically all of the big steel build
ings stood the earthquake. think
this demonstrates that well construct
ed steel buildings are proof against
earthquakes. The old frame struc-
lures and the cheaper apartment
houses collapsed, and the loss of life
must have been fearful. It will never
be known how many lives were lost,
as many of the buildings which col
lapsed took fire Immediately and hun
dreds of bodies must have been ere
mated so that no trace of them will be
found. Al conservative estimate would
place the dead at from 1000 to 1000.
1.-THE guests at the Palace hotel had
but little difficulty in escaping. Not
even d pane of glass in that great
hotel was broken by the shock, as far
as / could learn. The great glass
dome over the court was not damaged
in the least. Captain Ralston, who
built the Palace hotel, boosted that the
hotel was both earthquake and fire
proof No building in the city burned
more slowly than did the Palace hotel"
