 -The days of '49.'
 So far, however, there never was a stricter government. The police are backed up by regiments of regular soldiers The people have been given to understand the authorities mean business and even petty depredations are infrequent. Not a drop of liquor is being sold. either in San Francisco or in Oakland Examples were made of two men that attempted to conduct blind pig while martial law was in effect, each violator being given five years in the penitentiary. Nor are there the merest symptoms of gam bling in either city. No form of idle amusement exists now.
 Pioneer scenes and activity are everywhere. Even in the residence districts that escaped the sea of flames the people are still cooking in the streets because of the unsafe chim- neys.
 Fillmore street activity. like that of huge mining camp, is extending to HSkSnDOfluS StiSclS, anu IS 6AUeClSu to gradually move downtown toward the city hall as building operations in the business section are begun.

There are plenty of signs to the eff feet that contracts have been let for erection of modern steel sky scrapers, to be completed in 1907, 1908 and 1909.
 As to the kind of life that is to be characteristic of the city during the rebuilding period, Mayor Schmitz does not agree at all with the president of the board of police commissioners.
 You can say for me-" said the may. or, that the lid is to De nailed down on the new San Francisco just as 1t was on the old San Francisco. Gam bling should not be tolerated. The city may have the appearance of min ing camp, but it shall not have the vices of the mining camp. I am sur prised that the president of the police board should say that a, wide open town is probable. Such people as flock to wide open town, are not a benefit to any community, and they are not wanted here. The saloons will remain closed indefinitely" When asked the definition of the terms wide open" town, and ''fike Klondike,' MT. Poheim said:
 T do not mean that the morals oi tthe city are to sink to the level of the riotous mining camp. where evils oi
 all kinds are permitted to flourish un lchecked.- It would be ruinous to me as a man, and would blight my pros Ipects as a politician, to express such a far. reaching opinion as that. What I mean is that from now on until a time not yet determined San Francis co will in a measure return to the good old free and easy days of long ago. The era of magic development of prosperity progressing by leaps and
 bounds will be with us again.
 The days of '49. so to speak, will
 be repeated. only in less riotous
 manner. I mean that the earthquak' has been . great leyeier. All men are
 equal in San Francisco al the present
