ONE YEAR AGO TO-DAY.

It was one year ago today that San
Francisco was destroyed by earth
quake and fire
The beautiful city of the Golden
Gate WIS almost completely wiped
out of existence.
And get, in the smoke and flames
OF this terrible disaster could be seen
the hand of kindly providence.
II Is true that the property loss
was staggering, but in recompense
he loss of life was small when COM
pared to the extent of the destroyed
lrea OF the populous city.
Buildings may have been shaken
n burned down, but brave men were
eft in the coast metropolis to begin
he work of reconstruction.
Today, after only one year has
passed, We see what is courageous
y being done to build up a new and,
+ possible. a more beautiful San
francisco.
In after generations when the sto-
y OF San Francisco is told the world
will still wonder and still praise the
'aith and courage of the city's inhab-
ltants
The citys peop-e have collectively
shown all the qualities of a brave
nan. they have betrayed none of the
trembling dependency of the weak
ing.
Brave old San Francisco. How we
regret the destruction of the quaint
looks and corners we once knew so
we'll, and yet, with how much delight
do we hail the newer city which has
given % the world wonderful eX-
ample of American courage.

M. Degrant, one of our Ely poets,
whose verses have appeared In the
White Pine News, has sent us some
ines of which the White Pine News
is the theme. We thank Poet De-
grant for his contribution and his
praise, but modesty forbids that We
print all the good things he says
about us.
But, mark you, we do not dispute
him or question his fine discerning
judgment. Far, far from that. In
common with the rest of humanity
(Which means you, beloved reader)
We like a little bunch of hot air our
selves, and deep down in our heart,
coyertly, secretly, We applaud the
verse maker.
Just to give you an idea of what
the poet says about us we print the
following:
While surrounded by thy household,
free from ire,
And basking in the glow of the
chimney fire;
When your daily toll and chores are
done.
You'll want TO read paper. If there
is none
There's sure TO be great hulabaloo.
So subscribe for the White Pine News

It's social happenings, breezy news of

As the best informer, none dare to
