Nice spring day-wind in south

on the outside.
MONDAY
Still raining, mud everywhere
and at this writing, 1850 a. m,
looks like it was never going to
quit. Everything getting soggy,
but nothing better could have hap
pened for the many trees and
shrubs that have been recently put
out and the newly planted gardens
also the grass. There is going to
be some fruit too in spite of all the
evil prophesies, and these rains
came right for it.
Enough of good thing, how
ever, is sufficient and if possible
we would order the rain machinery
disconnected until further notice,
but reckon we will have to- put up
with it. Good thing that Canyon

drains well. Few towns on the

San Francisco in Ruins.

Successive, violent earthquake
shocks visited San Francisco Wed
nesday. The water front sank
and the bay spread over many
blocks in that portion of the city.
Fire broke out in many places and
the waterworks having been rem
dered useless by the earthquake
shocks, the city is being gutted
by the flames. The loss of life is
great and the property damage is
millions upon millions of dollars.
Wires are all down and the only
means of communication with the
city is by boats from Oakland.
This morning the entire city is
reported as doomed.
Santa Rosa is also reported as in
ruins. The destructive shocks did
not extend further south than
Santa Barbara.
1t will be several days before full
details of the disaster will reach the
public and it is sincerely hoped that
these details will fall far short of
the present reports.
