came from farmers in that locality.

Miss
Mirmi Wntters. who is a trained
nurse, and who was in charge of an
important cae at the time of the
earthquake. The patient had un
dergone an operation a short time
before and whea the shock came
plaster from the ceiling fell all
about the room, some of it striking
the patient tn the face. Miss Wat
ters remained with her charge un
til the fire came, and then with an
assistant carried her to another
place a block away.. Ia a short
time the flames drove them to a
second move, when they managed
to get a conveyance to the Presidio.
The same evening Miss Watters
nnd her oatient went in a tug to
Oakland, where they found a shelter
from which they were net again
driven. The following day, the
patient underwent a second opera
tion, and at last accounts was re
covering.
Mr. Watters says, as do all wbo
have been there, that words cannot
ponvev an adeauate description of
the desolation that the eye sees.
when from a vantage point a view
of the ruins is obtained, Of the
fair citv. nothing is left but occas
ional groups of buildings here and
there about the outskirts. JSot
more than one fourth and possibly
not more than a fifth remains
standing. The-suffering and hor
ror through which the San Fran
ciscans passed were such that many
of them will leave the place forever
unwilling; to hazard the chance of
another similar experience. There
is an undercurrent of feeling that
does not find expression in the
newspapers which causes some of
those who hear expression of it to
doubt it the city will ever rise to
anything near its former glory. An
epidemic is another possible horror
yet to be reckoned with, and fear
of it is driving thousands in search
of new homes elsewhere. Many
of the sewers of the city are dis
placed as a result of the earthquake
and it will take months to restore
the drainage system to a condition
of effectiveness.
Still another ever-present danger
for the time is tne presence of thugs
and ghouls, who await every op
portunity for pillage and plunder.
The act of nature that plunged the
city into ruins and the sight of its
consequences, seemed to unloose
all the ferocity of the underworld,
and realizing chat opportunity for
murder and robbery was at hand,
the bloody hand is everywhere. In
the ruins there will be found a
great deal of melted gold and "silver
and the opportunity to seize . and
make off with it is awaited. But
for the presence of the soldiery, the
scenes of human ferocity would
have been more horriblejihan" the
devastation by earthquake and
flames. A few mistakes by the
California state troop3 were made,
but they were infinitesmal beside
what would have happened had
not the mailed hand of the military
been held over the city to restrain
and deter.
Mr, Kline found his house pretty
badly wrecked by the earthquake.
When he unlocked it, the front
door fell in. It was hung on un
usually heavy binges, and these
were broken by the shock. A door
to the basement would not open be
cause the structure had settled some
what eskewv The house was sit
uated 10 blocks trora the nearest
fire line.
"It is everywhere ruins, ruins,
ruins," said Mr. Kline. '"No picture
can be painted so desolate. The
one redeeming feature is that the
survival of the Call building shows
that structures can be built that,
will withstand both earthquake and
fire, and that is the best hope for a
new city of San Francisco. Though
22 stories high, the Call building
with its steel frame and stone walls
intact stands as majestic as ever,
having been, of course, gutted by
the flames. Across the street the
Mutual Savings bank building, 12
stories, also stands as a monument
of the ability of man to build quake
proof and fire-proof structures."

DEAD HORSE THERE.
Is in the Stream Short Distance
up Mary's River Farmer
Tells of it.
A farmer in town yesterday
brought the unwelcome information
that there is a dead horse in Mary's
river at a point two or three miles
above its junction with the Wil
lamette. The farmer says tne car
cass has been there several weeks
and that it is badly swollen. The
decomposition is so great that it is
very offensive to those who pass
along the road in the vicinity, it
ought to be somebody's business to
go up there and remove tne carcass
from the stream, as well as to bury
it. The streams are now getting
toward their low stage and it is
wrone for the drainage from this
putrid carcass 4o be flowing into
the local water pipes and thence in
to homes for domestic use.
The incident? ought, by all means
to suggest the withdrawal of the
injunction suits against the. moun
tain water system and the substitu
tion in place of them suits for dam
age by those who will be damaged
by the taking of water from Rock
Creek. In suits for damage, both
plaintiffs in the injunction cases
have a complete remedy, without a
resort to injunction proceedings.
With dead .horse carcasses contam
inating the present Vc1irce of water
supply, it wduld look like all's Vnol?
desire a hastening of the hour when
from Rock Creek, beyond the point
where there is possibility of contam
ination, pure, cold water might be
brought for Corvallis reonl What
