UNIVERSI TY PA RK
IS THE CENTER OF THAT HIVE OF INDUSTRY

SUPPLY AND DEMAND
.When the demand for an article is greater than
the supply the article increases in value. The high
land between the rivers, suitable for homes, retail
business, is only six square miles, or less than 4000
acres, or 24,000 lots. The industries now planned
and for which some money has been invested will
support a population of three persons for each lot
on the whole peninsula. This will make a demand
for lots within the next iive years far beyond the
supply, and must run values up to enormous figures.
BUSINESS CENTER .
University Park is the center of the Peninsula.
The business will center on its broad streets. The
most valuable residences will be on its boulevards.
The Columbia University will attract a cultured
class. The factory district on the north, the factory
district on the south, the factory district on the
west will make University Park the money center.
Railroads on the north, south and west and the elec
tric line through the center make University Park
the business and financial center be3ond a doubt.
HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
University Park lies 150 feet above high water
in the rivers and slopes only sufficient to make drain
age perfect. The view of four perpetually snow-covered
peaks, mountain ranges, rivers and valle3rs, is
grand beyond description. It has Bull Run water,
which comes down from above the line of vegetation
on Mount Hood. University Park is a dream of de
light, the ideal of health and haxpiness. Bounded
by navigable rivers, belted by railroads, dotted with
industries, ocean breeze, pure water, magnificent
scenery, excellent schools, what else has Grod to give?
MANY THEATERS
San Francisco Was Home of
an Endless Number of
Amusement Places.
GAVE WORK TO. THOUSANDS
Anions Those Who Were Playing
KiisnRcments In Destroyed City
Were Many Stage Folk Well
Known In Portland.
All the theaters In San Francisco
were burned to the ground.
San Francisco was pre-eminently an
Rmusoment-lovlng city. Theatrical and
musical enterprises appealing to the
public all the tlmo were many and
wide-reaching In magnitude. They In
volved the use of millions of dollars
iu their dally exploitation, and the
buildings in which they were housed
cost several millions moro
At least 10.000 were directly or In
directly Interested or employed In the
atrical arid musical circles In Ean
Francisco. A dozen or more prominent
places of amusement stand out well
known and there were hundreds of
smaller places open nightly.
The lossett and Inconveniences suf
fered by the owners, lessees and man
agers of the various theaters that
have been destroyed are temporary for
the most part, for it Is probable that
the work of rebuilding will be under
taken Just as soon as practicable. The
labor of years has been swept away In
h day. and all plans are annulled. But
the Immense Impetus of the require
ments of metropolitan life will assert
itself again In a twinkling as the city
begins to rise out of its own ashes,
and now theaters will undoubtedly be
among the first structures to show
their heads.
Theater Employes Will Suffer.
The stage hands and thousands of em
ployes at the business end of the theaters
are notoriously improvident people, and
they will suffer much between the present
hour and the time when they may again
be given work at the new theaters. But
greatest of all will be the hardships of
the thousand ane one actors and actresses
if big and little professional repute, who
have been completely stranded and left
without food or shelter or employment
by the earthquake and devastating Are.
They scarcely ever have a home, and
seldom any money saved up. They live
from hand to mouth on the engagement
of the hour, and are most poorly equipped'
of anyone to stand up under such an
Experience as the San Francisco disaster.
The "Babes In Toyland" company,
which was here a few day ago. went to
San Francisco, and -was playing at the
'Columbia. A few of the girls had rooms
over the theater in the St. Anne building.
When the earthquake came part of the
walls fell Anto the street, and some of
these "-girls' were hurt, but none of them
killed, , so far aa is known. The list or

LOS ANGELES. April 2L Most thrilling
of all stories yet related of adventures In
stricken San Francisco during the days
of horror and nights of terror Is that of
a party of four, two women and two
men, who arrived here yesterday, after
having spent a night and the greater
portion of two days on the hills about
Golden Gate Park.
This party was composed of Mrs. Fran

"I was sleeping la a room on the third
floor of the Palace Hotel." said Dr.
Fleming, "when the first shock occurred.
An earthquake In Ban Francisco was no
new sensation to me. I was there In 1565.
when a boy 10 years old, when the first
great earthquake came. But that was
the most gentle rocking of a cradle to tne
one of Wednesday.
"I awoke to the groaning of timbers, a
grinding, creaking sqund: then came the
roar from the street. Plastering and wall
decorations fell.
"The sensation was as though the build
ings were stretching and1 writhing like a
snake. The darkness was Intense.
Shrieks of women, higher, shriller than
that of the creaking timbers, cut the air.
"I tumbled from the bed and crawled.
scrambling toward the door. The twist
ing and writhing appeared to Increase.
"The air was oppressive. The building
seemed to breathe, stagger and right

"But I fled from that building as from
a falling wall. I could not believe that It
could endure such a shock and a till stand.

"The next I remember I was standing
In the street laughing at the unholy ap
pearance of half a hundred men clad In
pajamas and less.
"The women were In their night robes;
they made a better appearance than the
men.
"The street was a rainbow of color In
the early morning light. There was every"
stripe and nue or raiment never Intended
to be seen outside the boudoir.
"I looked at a man at my side: he was
laughing at me. Then for the first time
I became aware that I was In pajamas
myself. I turned and fled back to my
room.
"There I dressed, secured ray grip
and hastened back to the street. All
the big buildings on Market street to
ward the ferry were standing, but I
marked four separate fires.
"The fronts of the small buildings
had fallen out Into the streets, and at
some places the debris had broken
through the sidewalk Into cellars.
"I put my overcoat on the stone
steps of a building and told two wom
en to sit there. In less than fewo min
utes those steps appeared to pitch
right forward, to be flying at me. The
groaning and writhing started afresh.

"But I was just stunned. I stood
there In the street, with debris falling
about me. It seemed the natural thing
for the tops of buildings to careen
over and for fronts to fall out.
"The street gave a convulsive shud
der and the buildings somehow right
ed themselves again. I thought they
had crashed together above my head.
Th two women rose and started
to walk. I'followed In a kind of aim
less sort of way. The streets were
filled with moving things again.

' BORN BLIND .
The man who was born blind cannot compre
hend how you can see a bird flying in the air. He
knows of the presence of anything that he can hear
or feel, but for other things he believes what others
tell him. You must be totally blind to the future of
the Peninsula if you can't foresee a great city there
in the near future. It is as plain to me as the noon
day sun. I see it as distinctly as you see the bird
flying in the air, which the blind man can't see. Will
you accept my statement as the blind man accepts
your statement about the bird?

walked to the ferry. We tried It on a
score,of streets, but that wall of flra was
always there.
"It seemed to creep across in front of
us. And In front of the Are always
walked the soldiers.
"If we loitered the soldiers came up. A
rough fellow who had been standing by
my side tried to dart through the line.
He looked like a beach-comber. A young
Lieutenant caught him by the coat.
" 'Here he called to his men. 'Shoot
that man." ,
The air was filled with the roar of
explosions.- They were dynamiting great
blocks. The sailors were training guns
to rake rows of residences.
"All the while we were moving onward
with the crowd. Cinders were falling
about us.
At times our clothing caught fire just
lit embers that smoked once and then
went out.
"The sting burned our faces and we
used handkerchiefs for veils.
"Everybody around us was using some
kind of cloth to shield his eyes. It looked
curious to see expressmen and teamsters
wearing those veils.
"By this time tne darkness was set
tling. But It was a weird twilight. The
glare from the burning city threw a kind
of red name and shadow about us. It
seemed uncanny: the figures about us
moved like ghosts.
"The fog and wind blew chill from the
ocean and we walked about to keep warm.
Thousands were walking about, too; but
there was no disturbance.
"Families trudged along together. There
was no hurry. Every one appeared to
have time to spare. The streets, the walks,
the parks, were wriggling with little par
ties, one or two families In each. The
men had brought bedding and blankets
and they made impromptu shelters to
keep off the fog.
The cinders still kept flying. They
seemed at times to come right down
against the wind. They stung my face.
"All night we moved about among the
hills Thousands were moving with us.
As the night wore on the crowd grew
larger. Near daylight the soldiers came to
the park. They were still moving In front
of the Are.
Walk: 3tlles Through Ruins.
"We walked toward the water for hours.
Part of the time It was through the
burned district. The streets wore rough,
the sidewalks jagged and broken. The
women suffered severely. Jagged stones
and wires cat their thin shoes from their
feet. Bandages did no good.
The walk back through the ruins was
the worst of all. Don't ask, me much
about that. I wish I could blot It out.
"We walked past automobiles standing
useless: the supply of gasoline had given
out. Dead horses lay along our path.
Some were burned to a crisp. It would
have been -well If all could have been.
"On Howard street, near Market, lay
the charred, half-burned bodies of two
men. Those were the only dead we saw
In the streets. One was apparently pinned
under debris; but the other lay half
burned In tho. open road. The dumb terror
of It seemed to reach right into one's
heart.
Itcacb, Ferry at Last.
"Walking and resting, we reached the
Ferrv near sunset. We had come back
thrmieh a burned district some four
miles. I do not understand now how the
women stood It- Other parties stag
n.t it. Thev were reeling, but
not from wine. It was here that the
pangs of thirst caught us.
'vtnfth nd came at last. We reached
the Ferry aad the boats were running.
The soldiers were mere, too. j. ney seemea
to be everywhere. They were offering
ni tVi Tmrsen and children. All
were permitted to take the boat. Notices
were peetea-to enec.
out money could get tickets by applying
to the See. ,
"The real terror of what they had seen
and endured was stamped on every face

been eaaal.

ATJT03IOBILE LOAD OF DEAD
Refugees Going: East Tell Incidents
of Their Experience,
SALT LAKE CITT. Utah. Anrii i
Numerous refugees are eomlnsr tn
Lake City, and each has a similar tale of
horror. A typical experience Is that of
Sam Wolf, who says:
'My room was In the Grand Hotel.
When I awakened, the house was shak
ing as a terrier would shake a rat. I
dressed and made for the street, which
seemed to move like waves of water.
on my way down Market street the
whole side of a building fell out and came
so near me that I was covered and blind
ed oy tne dust.
"Then I saw the first dead. Thev wer
piled up In an automobile like
In a butcher's wagon. They were all over
blood, with crushed skulls, broken limbs
and oioooy races.
A man cried out to me. 'Look out for
that live wire.' I had just time to side
step certain death. On each side of me
the fires were burning fiercely.
I nnauy got Into the open space before
the ferry. The ground was still shaking
and gaping open in places. Women and
children knelt on the. cold asphalt and
prayed uod would be merciful to them.
"At last we got on the boat. Not a
woman In that crowd had enough clothes
on to keep her warm. 1A alone the money
for fare. I took off my hat, put a little
money In It and we got enough money
right there to pay all their fares.
"I forgot to tell you I saved one woman
from sure death; Just before I got out of
the hotel, she was running toward an
open window and I caught her ad she
was part way out.
" "Where are you going? I- asked.
" 'Oh, I was going downstairs she an
swered. "She would have fallen EO feet to the
stone pavement. She followed me out on
the street barefooted and cut her feet
terribly. The last I saw she was on her
knees begging God for mercy."
Charles Lawrence, of Salt Lake, saldr
"But one thought seemed to possess the
terror-stricken people that the end of
time had come. In some way the report
was started that Chicago had suffered
even worse than San- Francisco, having
been completely swallowed by an earth
quake." F. H. Duckwltz and wife, of Philadel
phia, had a narrow escape, hut are now
In Salt Lake.
W. H. Sanders, consulting engineer of
the United States Geological Survey, In
sisted on paying his hotel bill before he
left the St. Francis. He says:
"Before leaving my room, I made my
toilet and packed my grip. Tho other
guests had left the house. As I hurried
down the lobby, I met the clerk, who had
rushed in to get something. I told him
I wanted to 'pay- my bill.
" 'I gues3 not,' he said; 'this Is no time
for settlement-
"As he ran into the office, I cornered
him, paid him the money and got his
receipt."
