creek, where the older Indians have
made their last stand for the old ways
and against any change. and where
they held out against taking their al
lotments to the last.
The total amount taken by the In
dams is 100000 acres, leaving prac-
ucally 100000 acres unassigned
lands on that reservation. This land
will be at some date in the future
opened to settlement, and it is as good
as any land in South Dakota. It will
mean homes for thousands of new

Scenes of Awful Misery.

Los Angeles, April IA Record
correspondent reached San Francisco
this evening, and wires from Oakland:
From the Union Iron works to
Telegraph hill, and back to the city
hall the town is mass of blackened
ruins, still burning. Approaching the
city from the bay vast pail of smoke
lighted by fire, shooting hundreds Of
feet into the air
"Fitful fires show the reclining
forms of dazed victims of the holo-
caust afraid to lie close to the build
ings for fear of more earthquakes,
and afraid to stay in the street for
fear of being run down by patrol and
fire wagons. They are huddled along
the curbs, lying on what few goods
they have saved as they rushed from
the falling houses. The stencil Is
becoming terrible"

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-04-20

The telegraphic dispatches from
San francisco today show that the
dearied and heart-sick forces are still
fighting hopelessly against the fires,
which are still burning in three parts
of the city, south, east and water
front.
1t is estimated that IS per cent of
the business district Is in ruins, most
of this proportion beyond any hope of
repair. Most of the great buildings
in the heart of the city are total
wrecks and only the ground they oc-
cupied is remaining.
The greatest loss is suffered by the
merchants of moderate means who
had invested everything in small
stocks and in the smaller business
blocks. These are totally destroyed
and the owners are stripped of every
vestige OF wealth except perhaps the
ground where their ruined enterprises
stood s.
The rich concerns, millionaires who
owned many blocks and other i'm
mense outside properties, will recover
and rebuild, but the men OF moderate
means are ruined beyond any hope OF
recovery.
1t is estimated today that fully one
half of the population of the city is
absolutely homeless. The ferries ana
every available vessel have been
crowded to the limit in carrying
hordes of fleeing residents across the
bay to Oakland, where thousands are
encamped in the foothills and open
parks.
A strong Gordon of troops has
guarded every boat landing to prevent
rioting and overcrowding the boats,
so fierce has been the fight to Sc
cure early passage out Of the city.
Order is now coming out of the
chaos which has reigned since the
morning of the earthquake. Tele-
graphic communication Is now being
established with outside points and
lines are working night and day to
dispose of the immense piles OF pri-
vate messages which have accumulat-
ed. 1t is impossible to find anyone
at former addresses, as so many
places are completely Obliterated from
the map OF the city, but the telegraph
and postoffice departments are max
ing every effort to deliver messages
which are pouring in.
The offices of all the telegraph
companies are thronged with anxious
people who stand in long lines await
ing a turn to send messages. The
newspapers are practically all out of
existence, the Call, Examiner and
Chronicle buildings having been COM
pletely destroyed. They are lending
all their forces toward sending accur-
ate reports of the disaster to outside
points All these big papers will re-
sumo publication at once, as all are
wealthy and own excellent property
in the heart of the city.
Organized relief is now ameliorat-
ing the condition of the sufferers
somewhat and provisions and bed
ding, tents, blankets and other neces-
saries are being shipped in from near
by points by the trainload. The
greatest necessity is flour bacon and
provisions. The United
States government will ship every
available tent and blanket at the dis
posal of the supply department and
with the aid of local supplies of this
kind this will perhaps be sufficient to
shelter the homeless.
San Francisco people are hurrying
home from every part of the United
States and every train brings in hordes
of business men, travelling men, and

says he hurried to the bay and while
waiting to board a steamer, another

six feet.

MENT BONDS MUST BE USED
AS SECURITY.

Washington, July 16.-Secretary
Shaw Of the treasury department, on
his return from New York, sent out
kilograms to a considerable number of
national banks throughout the country
designating them as government de-
positories and informing them that the
government bonds to secure such de-
posts as may be made with them
must be placed with the government
by the close of business next Wednes.
day, July Is.
Coincidentally with the designation
of these new repositories the secre.
tary has called the loan of the gov
eminent made to various financial in.
situations, with state and municipal
bonds as security, indicating his inten.
ton to have government bonds sub
stituted for the state and municipal
bonds now up as security In order,
however, not too seriously to contract
the amount of money in the banks
Secretary Shaw will deposit with the
new repositories in the neighborhood
of 100000 of the $10,000,O00 now
called in and secured by the state and
municipal bonds. .
Secretary Shaw's action in requiring
depository banks to put up govern.
ment bonds as security for deposits,
in place of state and municipal bonds,
will have tendency to increase the
market price of government bonds.
This, it is expected, will result in Sc.
curing to the government a higher
price for the new Panama issue than
otherwise might have been offered.
