FILLING EMPTY SPACES Review of Conditions Two Years After Earthquake frliows Old Life Renewed Celebrate by Entertaining the Fleet. S.VN FRANCISCO. April 12. (Special.) Saturday. April Ifi, will mark the sec ond ' anniversary or the fir and earth quake which devastated San Francisco. There in much of hope and encouragement in a retrospect of the 24 months. Doubt has been dissolved in certainty. The heaviest work Is over. It remains to build upon the ample foundations already placed. San Francisco has revived. It is no longer a case of rec on struct in ff the city, but merely a matter of rilling in the imply spaces. Without noting the ad vance step by step, the city has worked out its own destiny in the two brief years. It hna made sure of its old-time place union American municipalities. Alt is in the Utile affairs of life that the revival is brought home to one. The writer met an old acquaintance at Mont gomery and California streets the other day and made some comment upon the new suit of gray in which his friend was clothed. "Yes," vi as the repiy. '"I have taken to carina; for my dress again. I have be lt un to feel that I am living in the old San Francisco once more. For nearly two years we have had constant build ing, obstructed sidewalks and mortar dust in this district, but now.' and he waved his hand down the. street toward the ferry, "things are cleaning up. The sidewalks are down again, there goes the sprinkling-cart and a man can walk the streets just as he used to. So I have cast off my workine clothes and taken on the Summer gray." Park Are Themselves Again. The change in the city is reflected in the manner of dress. The women of the city, always noted for the artistry of their gowns and their inclination to the brighter colors, dress with the same distinction as of yore. The avenue parade is as much a feature as was the matinee marrh before the fire. In a short walk one afternoon this week, the writer Mopped near Jefferson square, th picturesque, park which covers four city blofka. Co beEL&Uea waa usua' array of the idle army, spread at full length upon the lawn, under a hot, sun, was an army of boys, while little girls skipped about in another section of the square. A cluster of baby carriages, guarded by a number of faithful nurse maids, stood beneath a border of palms. This same square was the home of 3000 refugees, hardly one of whom had been I able to arrange for a new home until last July. In the past nine months the square has been cleared, replanted to flowers, lawn and shrubbery, and today is just as It was before the disaster. The same thing has occurred in 20 other city squares. Very few persons still remain housed in public parks. At Lobos Square many foreigners are still quar tered, but every day the number lessens. Golden Gate Park has been rededicated as the public pleasure ground of the city. Pleasant Sundays find from 100.000 to 3,"iO,00 persons enjoying1 Its beauty. City Moves as of Old. A fund of J60.000 has been raised to en tertain the sailors of the fleet, $150,000 has been subscribed to exterminate the rats all these matters tell the story of re habilitation better than an array of fig ures. The life of the city moves as of old. The concerts, the art exhibitions, the athletic games, the social entertain ments, all find the same support as be fore The city is fult itself again. As stated before, only the empty spaces re main to be fliled in. The building operations continue un checked. In all. $110,000,000 has been ex pended on new structures. The retail es tablishments are finding locations down town as rapidly as possible. The cost of living has fallen until it is just about at the old level. The vast numbers of restaurants, always a feature of San Francisco, are again In evidence. Strict food and sanitary regulations with ef ficient inspection guarantee wholesome food. A milk crusade has insured purity in that respect, and the new sanitary ordinances have insured cleanliness. If the dust still flies in San Francisco, the city is. nevertheless, more healthful than ever in its history, thanks to the cam paign of Dr. Rupert Blue and his corps of assistants. When April 18 arrives. San Francisco will be able to present a front surprising even to the most optimistic. Not only are the office buildings and retail stores being completed with unusual rapidity. but great factories are rising into the blue. There is no record of the desertion of the city by any commercial enterprise of gTeat size as a consequence of the disaster. On the other hand, new ven tures have been introduced and the com mercial life of the city is on a broader scale than before. Seeks New Water Snpply. With the rebuilding of "the city assured, the Japanese bogie lulled to slumber, corruption stamped out. the plague con quered. San Francisc-o has triumphed over the many ills that have beset her. The heaviest drawback at the present time lies In the high insurance rates. The companies have refused to reduce their figures and San Francisco business men are working under the handicap thus im posed. The underwriters promise a re adjustment of the schedule as soon as the water problem is solved. The problem will not be solved in .a day. The Spring Valley 'Compaov ie just able to meet tUe needs of the city, but has refused further to develop Its system unless allowed a big increase in rates. The Supervisors have refused to allow the Increase. "As an alternative, the city has considered the question of purchasing; the Spring Val ley plant, but the price set upon it, $28,- 1 000,000, is deemed exorbitant. In the mean time, the Board of Supervisors has be gun an investigation Into the Sierra sup ply, which the Government controls. Pres ident Roosevelt has expressed his will ingness to make this available for San Francisco whenever -the city wishes. Future Now Assured. The bond issue called for May 11 pro vides a relief in water matters as far as Are-fighting is concerned. One of the Items to be voted on is a $5,500,000 auxil ary system to be used exclusively for fire fighting purposes. It is a fact worthy of mention that the point has passed where the city is watch ing itself in order to forecast the future. The future is now assured. There will be no special celebration on April 18 this year, but instead, all energies will be ex pended to make the reception to the fleet a success. At that time the city ex pects to entertain some 25u,000 guests from all parts of the world who will be able to judjre for themselves what has been accomplished in the two years. P. O. S.

MAN'S FACE LIKE STEAK Awakened by Mirht in Their Faces, Seattle Man and Wife OMer Re sistance to Thief, Who Vses Broken Flask as Weapon. SEATTLE. Wash., April 12. (Special.) To be awakened In the dead of night with an electric hand lamp staring him in the face and a masked burglar back of the lamp -was the experience of J. P. Dean, living on Mohr street, at an early hour this morning. For a few minutes pandemonium reigned in the household of Mr. Dean and quiet was not restored until the burglar, using a brandy bottle as a weapon, had com pletely silenced both Mr. Dean and his wife, who was screaming at the top of her voice, by belaboring bofti victims over the head and face. Dean's condition is considered critical. At the first blow, the bottle was broken and with its jagged ends the burglar belabored the man until his face resembled a raw steak. Mr. Dean is now in the hospital.' As long as the burglar was back of the electric MEht he had both Mr. and Mrs. Dean at his mercy and dealt effective blows. He finally sueceeded in giving both a knockout and made hU departure. He wad unsuccess ful in securing any plunder. REPUBLICANS AT ABERDEEN County. Convention Called for May 8 by Committee.

TEA Go by the book you find in our package, and have such tea as will make vou drink more. Tour arocer returns year monev if vr I don't like Schilling's Best; we pay him. THIS WEEK WE EXPECT TO Dispose of a great manv of the 5 per cent, gold bonrls of the OCEAN SHORE- RAILWAY COMPANY. We have set forth in our recent advertisements, every possible argument that could be put out, relative to the substantiability of the investment. A great many people have called and familiar ized themselves -with the nature of the proposition. All ap pear to be trel! satisfied. Several people have purchased these bonds. Some have paid cash; some have bought on terms. The opportunity of buying Gold Bonds, paying .5 per cent and earning from 5.21 per cent to 5V-2 per cent has attracted many people who have never before bought railway bonds. This issue has a financial advantage that is seldom met in the routine of bond investment, namely a railway bond in the denomination of flOO, purchasable below par on easy terms. OCEAN SHORE RAILWAY BONDS Are the style of investment that usually attracts the banker, the big investor and the men of weight in financial affairs. In San Francisco, these are the types of men who have in vested. In Portland, a large number of the same kind of men have become interested. The man of small means, the salaried man, the man with a bank balance is missing an ex cellent investment opportunity by not learning the facts about this company's offer. A call at our office any time dur ing the day will settle all doubts. You will then either make up your mind to buy or not to buy. Call at your convenience.
