San Francisco Fittng|y CeIe. bfates Rehabilitation of Town
UNPARALLELED RECOVERY
City Rises Like Magic From the Ter. rife Quake and Succeeding Fire Which Cost $5oo,ooo,ooo
 Not Felt.

San Francisco, April 1S.--One year ago today San Francisco was all but wiped out of existence by fire, succeeding terrific earthquake shock. Nearly a quar- ter of million people were rendered homeless and the financial loss amounted to about $5oO,0OO000.
 The city was left a mass of smoking ruins and rehabilitation seemed a matter of many years. Today the sun rose from a cloudless sky over busy metropolis in which the volume of business more than equals that of twelve months ago. and whose population is fast approaching it's former figures. Such a record is said to be without parallel
 During the year $75O0o.0Oo has been expended in the work of reconstruction, one e-thlrd of which was furnished by the savings banks, which in common with all the financial institutions withstood tho disaster without a sign of weakness. Over sS0 0OO0 has been paid for labor, 50,0O0 men are now engaged in the building in- dustry, while before the fire only 2O.000 were at work.
 The temporary construction which for a while prevailed has ceased and per mits for the erection of first-class fire proof structures have been granted. The restoration of the buildings which sur vived the flames will require the expendi- ture of many millions more. About 200 miles of street railroads, rendered use less. are now in running order Perhaps the most convincing proof of the substan- tial rehabilitation of the city is shown by the bank clearings which for March exceeded by nearly two and a half mill lion dollars the figures for the same month of last year, just preceding tho catastrophe.
 In recognition of what has been dore services were lheld today in variers churches, and while not legal holiday work in many places was suspended. Tonight the Merchants association, a prominent factor in the labor of recon struction, httingly commemorated the up- rising of the new San Francisco by giving banquet at the splendid new Fairmont hotel many prominent citizens being present.

Twenty-Five Distinct Earthquake
 Shocks Since Saturday
SULPHUR FUMES FILL AIR
Peculiar Phenomenon Taken as Proof of Volcanic Activty-More Than One Hundred Dead-Help
 for State of Guerrero.

City of Mexico, April 1S.-Today the Associated Press was in direct commun- ication with a number of towns situated in the district most affected by the re- Ct earthquake. From these recent tele- grams 1t Is now certain that the death list will exceed one hundred. There are 8 number of small towns yet to be heard from hut up to date the average num- be of fatalities at these places has ranged from nine to twelve, and the number of injured from thirty to forty.
 Through an error made in the transmits sion of a telegram from the city of Chil- apa today, the city in the state of Guer- rero which was almost totally destroyed the telegram was made to read that thirty-three bodies had been taken from the ruins and 779 injured had been trans ferred to a hospital. Later this tele- gram was corrected to read that thirty three persons were injured and 719 build ings destroyed.
 Peculiar Phenomenon.
 One peculiar phenomenon which has just been made known is that after the first grs at shock the air was filled for many m Nes with a thick, sickening sul- phurous 'dor, This caused great dis tress to t survivors. There are many speculation as to the cause of the pecu- liar freak nature and some consider 1t as a prod that the earthquake had its origin in $, e subterranean explosion. For this reas considerable anxiety will be felt until ws is received from the sections surrounding the active volcanoes of Colima and Jurrello. Even the water in the streams was made sulphurous. as the following telegram, received from Chilpancingo by the Associated Press, will show:

Ten Houses Wrecked.

Acapulco, Mex, April 1S.-The earth quake of April IA wrecked ten houses rep resenting an approximate value of sS6.- 900. Other houses suffered as a conse- quence of the shaking up. Roofing and walls of many residences have cracked, entailing an outlay in repairs of about sl2OO0, besides s15,OO0 to s2O.OOO which will be required to repair damage to the wharves on the maritime customs and the coast guard quarters. Among those whose losses have been the heaviest is Santonio Buttoa of the superior board of health. The financial straits to which many have been reduced will prohibit in many cases the rebuilding of the ruined houses.
 An hour and a half after the earth quake. at about 1 o'clock in the morning. tidal wave swept into the town, carry ing with it many smaller craft and ac- centuating the panic. Had it not been for the fact that tho water came in upon an elevated part of the town. many in- a1abitants would have been drowned.
 There has been no loss of life.

Splendid Courses Offered by
Big Territorial Institution at
MeSilIa Park for the Year
Just Beginning,

The catalogue for 1907-190S of the
New Mexico College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts at Mesilla Park
has just been issued from the press of
the Morning Journal. Aside from be-
ing geographically a beautiful vol
ume, handsomely bound in buff and
green and brown, the catalogue is a
mine of information for the young
man who wants to get the best educa-
tion the west affords. From a glance
at the courses of study offered for the

unequalled resources of the growing
school down on the Rio Grande shows
that it has developed into an educa-
tional institution which will compare
most favorably with anything west of
the Missouri river.
The catalogue is the seventeenth an
nual publication. The school is
young one but has been progressing
in giant strides
The Agricultural college is school
of which New Mexico should be proud
1t starts the year with better pros

POST STAKE RACE
AND CUP FOR THE
BABY SHOW
SPECIAL ALBUQUERQUE
EDITION TO BE ISSUED
Fifty Piece Boys Band of Den-
YER Newspaper viii Come to
Albuquerque in a Special Car

A one thousand dollar stake race. a
massive silver loving cup for the big
baby show and a special trip in spe-
cial car to Albuquerque by the Post
Boys band, are few of the ways in
which the Denver Post is going to
boost for the Twenty-Seventh Annual
New Mexico Territorial fair. In addi-
tion, the Post will publish about the
middle of September a special New
Mexico fair edition of 100000 copies
which will be distributed all through
tho west and southwest.
Mr.. j. A. Maloney special represen
tative of the Denver Post, is in the city
for two or three days, making final
arrangements with the management of
the fair.
The Post has embarked on a policy
of booming the great west" said Mr..
Maloney yesterday "The west, the
whole west, and nothing but the west,
IS the Posts motto. We believe that
Denver is in a sense the mother of all
the smaller cities springing up
throughout the west and southwest
and the interests of Denver are inden-
tical with the interests of everything i'll
the great Rocky mountain region. The
Denver Post has already issued spe-
cial edition in honor of the great From
tier celebration at Cheyenne, Wyo.
for which the Post was an enthuslas-
tic booster and Albuquerque and her
territorial fair will be given equal
prominence this fall"
The Post is especially desirOus Of
bringing to the fair the famous Den
yer Post BOYS band of fifty pieces, one
of the best known musical organize
tions in the west. The band, which
has been organized for several years
past is said to have the finest drum
major in the United States The plan
is to have the band arrive in a special
Denver Post car on a day of the fair
which is to be designated as Denver
Post day." and on which the Denver
Post stake race will be run.
Manager Hubbs and Secretary
Stamm of the fair held a lengthy con-
ference with Mr.. Maloney yesterday
at which the final details of the ar
rangeinent were adjusted.
The Posts interests in the fair will
have the effect of advertising Albu--
querque widely throughout the whole
western country. and the special edi-
tion issued short time previous to
the carnival will. doubtless have the eff
feet of bringing in greatly increased
crowd
