center of the city had been scourged
by fire while the world looked on
aghast. Twenty-eight thousand build
hgs had been destroyed, and the loss
reached the appalling total of $780,
100000. Hundreds Of thousands were
homeless. There were no churches,
schools or other public buildings. Ses-
sions of the courts had to be held in
private residences, and ministers as
sembled their flock in squares and
parks. The money, bonds and securi-
ties of the inhabitants were in vaults
and safes buried deep in the ruins.
There were no stocks of merchandise
because there were no stores; there
were no stores because there were no
buildings. The work of years had been
swept away IN a day, and thousands
lost everything except the clothes on
their backs.
Yet hardly had the smoke cleared
away and even before the ruins had
cooled the work Of rebuilding the city
had begun. With the indomitable spirit

become famous throughout the land.
The records show that the city now
boasts of 1876 hostelries, with a capaci-
ty of 1890 rooms. Five large hotels,
including the famous Palace. will soon
be furnished and will accommodate
thousands of guests.
The Portola festival is expected to
rival any of the world famous carni-
walls and fetes. California has been
famous for its fiestas. The best fea-
lures of these will be Incorporated in
the coming celebration. and the roll
licking carnival spirit handed down
from early Spanish settlers will be
rampant in San Francisco Portola
week.
The huge pageants have been arrang-
ed as part Of the program for the fes-
tival. The first Of these will occur on
the opening day and will inaugurate
the festival. 1t will be the entrance
Of Don Gaspar de Portola into the
city. To impersonate Portola. Nicholas
Covarrubias of Santa Maria, CAL, has
been chosen. He is one Of the most
expert horsemen and picturesque char
acters of the state. In the olden days
he was king at all Of the fiestas, and
he will make a truly regal Portola.
Portola will be accompanied by a troop
Of Dragons to typify the soldiers who
accompanied him on the famous march
that resulted in the discovery Of San
Francisco bay. These Dragons are to
be recruited from San Francisco's
handsomest men and most daring rid
ers, and thousands of soldiers and sail
ors will follow the cavalcade lead by
Don Gaspar de Portola.
There will be many brilliant social
affairs during Portola week. Big balls
and banquets are being planned. which
will be gay with the brilliant uniforms
of the officers Of the army and navy
and the diplomats of foreign countries.
Miss Vergilia Bogue has been chosen
queen of the Portola. She is the daugfr
ter Of Virgil Bogue. chief engineer and
vice president Of the Western Pacific.
and very prominent in society. She ia
one Of the most beautiful women in
the state and will be attended by a

part of our hard lot in life, and we
learned to take the torture p%hilosoph-
ically.
From the e~ighty-seventh to the
eighty-eighth parallel we passed for
two days over old ice without pressure
lines OF hummocks. There was no dis
cernible line of demarcation for the
fields. and it was quite impossible to
determine if we were on land or sea
ice. The barometer indicated no ele-
walton. but the ice had the hard, wav-
ing surface of glacial ice. with only
superficial c%revasses. The water OBJ
tanned from this was not salty. but all
of the upper surface of the ice of the
polar sea makes similar water. The
nautical observations did not seem to
indicate a drift, but nevertheless the
combined tabulations do not warrant
the positive assertion of either land or
sea for this area.
The ice gave a cheering prospect. a
plain of purple and blue ran in easy
fluctuations to the limits of vision

noon on the opening day OF the festi-
val millions of school children through
out the United States will salute San
Francisco.
All the nations of the world will take
part in the Portola festival. England,
Germany, France, Holland and Italy
will send warships to participate in
the celebration. Cruisers will come
from China and Japan bearing princes
Of the royal blood with messages to
the people of San Francisco and the
United States from the sovereigns of
the orient. A large feet of American
cruisers, monitors, torpedo boats and
torpedo boat destroyers will be gather

parades, and the coming Of the foreign

The feat of rearing in three years a

This twentieth century miracle has

department at Washington. In every
capital his arrival awakened intense
interest, and throngs crowded to see

in politics for many years. Twice he
was sent to the Minnesota legislature,
in 1892 aud 1894, and in his second
term was elected speaker without an
opposing vote. From 1901 to 1905 he
was governor of Minnesota, and a
good story is told of him while he
was in this Office.
One day he received a letter from a
constituent asking for an appointment
to a political office. The letter said:

1.-THE Cook expedition was equipped at
Gloucester, Mass, and was ready to start
on July 3. 1907. DR.. Cook and Rudolph
Francke were put ashore at Annootok,
Greenland, with ample stores and during
the winter made preparations for the
polar dash. On Feb. 10, 1908, the main
expedition started for the pole with elev-
en- men. LOB dogs Inc eleven heavily load
ed sleds. Going a little north of west.
the party on March IL reached the north
ern end of Heiberg island. Here the ex-
petition divided, six men returning. The
real race to the pole now began. On
March IS twenty-six miles were mad
and the next day twenty-one. Then two
more of the men returned, leaving only
two young Eskimos to accompany DR..
Cook, with two loaded sledges and twen-
ty-six dogs. On March 20 sixteen miles
were covered. twenty-nine miles on the
21st. twenty-five the following day and
afterward for several days an average of
seventeen or eighteen. Near the northern
edge of Grant Land a great open lead'was
encountered. which was crossed with
some peril on the young ice. Some days
later after a sever storm the ice split
open under the igloo, and DR.. Cook in his
sleeping bag sank into the ~crevice, being
dragged to safety by the young Esk!mos.
The advance was halted by storms, in
one of which the dogs were buried and in
another the men themselves. To the west
a new land, named Bradley Land by
Cook, was sighted. extending from So de-
GreeS 20 minutes to SO degrees 81 minutes
and close to the one hundred and second
meridian. DR.. Cooks own account of his
dash from Bradley Land to the pole is
given below.l
