The reconstruction of San Francisco
is one of the greatest miracles within
the history Of American municipalities.
Five hundred and eight city blocks,
embracing the principal business and
residential portions of the city, were
wiped from the earth In 1906 The
streets were covered In some places
with debris forty feet deep, yet today
stranger to the city would never
know from its appearance that fire
had occurred.
The loss through the fire is estimated
by insurance underwriters at $4OOOOO,-
900 To reconstruct San Francisco
called for greater wealth than was de-
stroyed by the fire and far exceeded
the cost of building the Panama canal
Since the fire $242OOO,OOO has been ex-
pended upon new buildings alone.
Today San Francisco is the newest
city in the world Its buildings rep
resent the latest type Of modern re-
enforced concrete structures. 1t has
more than 1900 hotels and apartment
houses, with accommodations to suit
all persons.
In preparing for the Panama Pacific
International exposition hundreds Of

gions Of the world. Fourteen COVER
nOrs Of western states on a 1000 mile
trip through the east on a special train
recently called attention to the exposk-
ton and became better acquainted with
their brothers Of the eastern states.

there is Silver lake, three miles south

anyone would desire for a summer re-

as much as would a line to Detroit
do the easiest thing first. Silver lake
is about n and a half miles long,

nearby resort and from there the line
could be extended to Detroit when
