debris and the arrival of materials
the work will proceed. Nothing could
be more absurd than to doubt the re-
covery of San Francisco from it's
great misfortune, in the face of the
work that is actually in progress.
The contract for the reconstruction Of
the Palace hotel on it's old site, on
grander scale than ever, has been
let. The st. Francis is now complet-
ing it's great steel annex. Business
houses are arranging to build newer
and stronger structures than those
which succumbed to the conflagration
of April 10 to Fl. The city will not
be rebuilt in day, or a year, but it
will go up with a remarkable quick
ness.
"City Beautiful" Must Wait.
There has been much talk of lefty
beautiful" with winding avenues
about the hills, broad boulevards, park
extensions, and so on. 1t was thought
that with the buildings leveled to
the ground the opportunity was open
for the construction of a model mod
ern city, uniting utility and beauty to
a degree never yet approached in
America. A little study of the sit
uation shows that this is nothing but
a dream. San Francisco people have
enough on their hands in the way of
getting into business again, in any
shape, without tackling the great
task of forming a city on aesthetic
lines. Here and there a street may
be widened and little park estab-
lished, but in the main there will be
no attempt to reform the plans upon
which the city was built.
The railroads terminating at San
Francisco are among the most potent
forces in rebuilding the city. They
saved San Francisco from panic and
possible greater disaster during the
time of stress by carrying away thou
sands of people, free of charge, and
bringing in emergency supplies.
After the crisis the railroads turned
in and assisted in the removal of
debris. Temporary tracks were laid
and rehabilitation was immensely as
sisted. Merchants ordered big stocks
of goods from the east, and the rail-
roads rushed the stuff to San Fran.
cisco. There was time, indeed,
when the stuff piled up to such an
extent as to paralyze the operation
| of the roads. Five thousand cars of
freight were congested at San Fran
cisco and Oakland. BY heroic ef-
forts the lingering freight was dis
posed of and serious situation re.
lieved. Now that the railroads are
able to look after their own business,
they are expanding great sums in
permanent improvement, which will
facilitate the reconstruction of the
city.
| Insurance Situation Hurts.
The insurance situation at Sar
Francisco is exasperating to those
who: happened to have policies in
shaky or dishonest companies, but
on the whole the lapses of these com
papies have not affected the city
as seriously as early reports 1ndi

BUILDING UP
SAN FRANCISCO
Citizens Make Marvellous Progress in
the Work of Restoration.
Ne.u Buildings, Finer Than Those Destroyed by the
Earthquake and Fire. Going Up on Every Side
"City Beautiful a Matter of Time

San Francisco.-One of the worlds
great sights is San Francisco. Cities
have been ruined and ashes have
covered them, but never before un-
der modern conditions. A city ruined
by earthquake and fire in the old
days meant that the time of recovery
would equal the age of the city up to
the hour of it's destruction. In this
age the very evidences of destruction
are turned into agencies of repair and
Improvement. Fire has rarely failed
to bring about better conditions in a
city, and San Francisco is no excep-
tiCn to the rule. 1t is not the i'm
prorenlent of the city that will make
them marvel, however, as much as
the rapidity with which the work
will be accomplished.
The earthquake of April 10 caused
few million dollars damage
$10,000,000 would cover that loss. The
fire. which had full play after the
quake had broken the water mains,
burned over 514 squares, or 1850
acres, or four square miles, the total
loss being estimated at 100000, 900.
On this property there was insurance
amounting to about $315 100000 OF
this insurance about $150,0O0,O 900 had
been paid in cash to policyh0lders up
to September Is.
The fire. as everybody knows, de-
stroyed the business district of San
Francisco, but left the shipping and
residence districts intact. Commerce
continued without interruption, ex-
cept such incidental disturbances as
the location of new storage places and
the accumulation of freight. Thou
sands of people left the city immedi-
ately after the disaster, but compe-
tent authorities estimate that SO per
cent. of these refugees have returned.
Their homes being intact they find
that San Francisco is the place for
them, after all, and they are turning
to rebuild the city, either with their
capital o. their labor.
Bringing Order from Chaos.
When the fire died down on April
p, the people of San Francisco were
confronted with mighty problems,
some Of them demanding instant solu-
, ton AS this article deals with the
San Francisco of the future and not
of the past, it is not necessary to go
into details regarding the remarkable
ability shown by the committee of fif-
aty in providing for the wants of the
hungry and shelterless, writes Ira E..
Bennett, in the New York Press. That
/ is story by itself, and a most inter-

companies. The California delegation
in congress will have something to
say on the subject next winter. The
names: of. defaulting companies are
to be sent broadcast through the
world, and the opinion is universal in
San Francisco that in the long run
the defaulting companies will dis.
cover that they played losing game
when they defrauded policy holders Of
their rights.
Insurance litigation promises to
become great. Policy holders who
have money enough to fight are not
slow in invoking the aid of the courts.
One or two important cases already
have been decided, but the critical
question is yet to be passed upon.
This question is as to the part played
by the earthquake in causing fire
losses. Policies are variously word
ed, but in the main they provide that
payment shall not be made if the
loss is caused directly Or Indirect
ly" by earthquake or other act of
God. OF course, if there had been
no earthquake there would have been
no fire, but the man whose house was
consumed three days after the
quake does not think the indirect
cause is quite close enough to the
effect to justify the insurance COM
panies in repudiating all liability.
Show True American Grit.
During the disaster the good humor
and self-possession Of San Francis
cans astonished the world. Now, in
the long tug of disposing of the
ashes and rebuilding the city, this
good humor never deserts them, and
they are as confident as though they
were beginning city for the first
time. There is inspiration in num-
bers, comfort in common trouble, and
spirit of brotherhood that has not
deserted them, altheuggh-itt-is not as
marked. as it WAS during times of
danger. The love of good cheer in
the way of eating, drinking and lis.
i tening to music is as strong as ever.
The climax is continual tonic, and
invites to hard work. The very size
of their disaster seems to nerve the
San Franciscans to hasten the recon.
struction of the new city. They come
very near to boasting when they show
their ruins, and some of them display
a remarkably fresh memory of his
tory by comparing their disaster with
the fate of other cities that have per-
ished by earthquake and fire, and
risen again. According to these men,
who. cite history while making it.,
the only bonfire that excelled San
Franciscos was that which con-
sumed Rome in Nero's time. The
great fires of London, Boston, Chi.
cago and Baltimore were mere hints
of what real conf1agration can do.
So say these dusty, smiling, tireless
San Franciscans,. who revel in the
advertising that their city has oh.
tanned. Their belief in the speedy
reconstruction Of the city is absolute
and they are backing their belief with
money and exergy that balks al
nothing. q 3. -=:. n; sz*%
