ALL IN Tl YEARS
San Francisco Becomes Her
self Once More.
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.

When Discovered.
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.

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.
