SAYS HOPE OF FRISCO

JOHN D. MCMILLAN RETURNS
FROM THE STRICKEN CITY. il
Analysing the Effects of Disaster, He
Says the Wealthy Must Rebuild the
City to Save Themselves - Year,
Needed to Clear Up the Wreck of
the City. n. "s& .4t

John D.. Mcmillan, vicepresident of
the Chamber of Commerce, returned
yesterday from California, where, with
Mrs. Mcmillan, who had gone to the
coast for her health, he spent three
months. Mr.. Mcmillan was at Pasa-
dena when the earthquake smote San
francisco. The quake, Mr.. Mcmillan
says, has created a condition difficult
of close analysis from the.s financial or
every hand that San Francisco? will be
rebuilt, that it will be a greater and
grander city than ever, and much more
beautiful. This is the confident ex-
preston Of all Californians, but that the
wish is father to the thought is too
often evident. * IL.
The hope, of the city is in its large
estates. The rich property owners, even
were. they not full Of pride and local
they must stem the tide of anxiety,
allay fear, force back pessimism wher-

Property once worth millions is not
worth a dollar today in the sense of
actual, practical, utility. They must get
the city back to where this property
will again be capable Of bringing in in
comes somewhere near fair percent
age on investment value, as represented
by former high prices, or stand to see
a great shrinkage. -
Efforts are being made to minimize
the effect of the earthquake, and te
prevent misconception of the scope and
extent of the shock. To many people in
the east, who have not been to the Pa
cifc coast, and who carry in their minC
no definite idea Of what big country
California embraces the shock has con
demned the whole state. To them the
fact that Los Angeles is hundreds Of
miles from San Francisco, and that {
comparison of the effect Il pom that city
is like a comparison Of the effect upon

wrong, yet likely to injure California

pated. s.: +,
a. Mr.. Mcmillan believes San Francisc,
will be rebuilt and that, ultimately ;
finer city will rise, but says that. all thi
talk Of building up the city in a yea
or two is foolish. It will take agyea
at least to clear up the wreck.
'sIn my opinion,' says Mr.. McMil
Ian, "there were many more peopl

house between the dams the force from
the surplus water will be available for
commercial purposes. 1t will make
electricity as well as anything else.
Better One High Dam. -
On the other hand, it is an expert
opinion that one dam twenty five feet
high would have been better, as a
business proposition, than the two
rangement would have been better
both for power and lock purposes, as
one long pond is considered better than
two short ones. The single dam would
have been better for the application of

separate dams, and it would have in
creased the available horsepower to
some extent. =.

FORMER ELECTIONS IN MONTANA,

While the result Of this years gen.
eral election il Montana Is expected
to be similar to that of 1902 and 1904,
when the republican ticket was victor.
ious, there are shifting elements among
the electorate whose vote usually de-
termines the contest and whose action
Is seldom definitely known until the
returns are c%auvassed. Within the
past ten years q democratic plurality
of over 30 5000 has been converted into
a republican plurality of about l3, 200
for presidential electors. and there
have been remarkable political re-
versals at other times, although not
to such a pronounced degree.
The election OF two years ago showed
q very peculiar distribution of the
Montana vote. The republican presi.
Dental electors had a plurality of over
Is, 900; Hon. Jos. M. Dixon, republic
can candidate for congress. had a
plurality OF about 600; while Hon.
Jos. K. Toole, democratic caudidat
for governor, had q plurality of S, 400.
