People Breakfast in Streets.
Every person left in San Francisco
breakfasted on food cooked In the
open streets Saturday, no fires being
allowed in the houses. A few bricks
or stones gathered in a semblance Of
a furnace with a few dry sticks be-,
meath cans or kettles was the impro-
yised kitchen in which the food Of the
millionaire, as well as the humblest
workman was prepared. All through
the fine resident section of Pacific
Heights people sat on the sidewalks
and took their black coffee, dry bread,
crackers. and, in some cases, eggs and
| bacon. q l5;S5S rs I
In the parks and along the North
beach, or wherever people were
camped, the relief stations handed out
food sufficient to relieve the situation
There were probably very few persons
who did not receive some sort of food
Saturday morning. The grave ques-
ton to be met is the sanitary situa-
ton. The ferry station is still open,
and is not thought to be in any dan
ger from the fire more than a half
mile north of 1t. 35s55f
| Coast Trains Enter.
The Southern Pacific company sue
ceeded in Il getting the first trains
through on the coast division late Fri
day night. Trains ran into the sta
ton at Third and Townsend streets.
Trains are now. running with com
parative regularity. An Inspection OF
the line shows a number Of water
tanks, stations and freighthouses de-
stroyed, but this does not seriously in
terfere with traffic. A bridge over the
Pajora river, on the Santa Cruz branch
and bridge on the Monterey branch
are south of the main line, so that it
is impossible to get trains over these
branches. Large gangs are working
constantly and It is hoped to open UP
the whole division soon.
Few Visitors Killed.
| Eastern people need have little So
licitude for their friends who were
here as tourists at the time Of the
earthquake It may safely be asserted
that few II any such persons have been
killed or injured. The casualties with
few exceptions were confined to the oc-
cupants of cheap lodging houses.
AS an Inevitable result of the catas-
trophe people are scattered far and
| wide, and the destruction of tele-
graph facilities renders it impossible
to find them, or to communicate with
them. a great many strangers do not
know where the temporary offices OF
the telegraph companies are located,
and these offices have been necessarily
| shifted from time to time. Even il the
offices could be reached, the facilities
| for sending messages have been so
crippled that the companies, although
working necessarily, are unable to give
much relief. There are thousands Of
kilograms at the offices Of both COM
nanies awaiting transmission,

| farm help is beginning to be heard.
| North Dakota uses probably more farm
labor than any other agricultural COM
nnunity in the world. This will be the
condition until our farms are smaller
! and our occupations more diversified
| Then the resident population will be
able to take care Of the work Of the
