SAX FRANCISCO. June 16. (Special
Correspondence.) The time has come
when some notion may be secured as to
"the future appearance of San Francisco.
Will it look like the old San Francisco
no popular with the tourist and the artist?
"Will it look like New York, with its busy
streets lined with towering structures, or
will it be a freak in design, built at hap
hazard? In truth it will be none of these. It
will resemble the old San Francisco in a
way. but only in a way. It will be con
structed along more definite line and
what it will Bain in general symmetry it
is apt to lose in ptcturesqueness of ita
corners.
The new San Francisco will not repre
sent the complete art called for in the
Burnham plans. The reason is on the
surface. It would cost too much and the
element of cost is all-important now,
where in former years it was never con
sidered. However, the trend of affairs In
dicates that the most important single
feature of the Burnham plans will be
carried out, and this because It will prove
cheapest.
Bunching of City Buildings.
The central idea of the Burnham plans
ta a civic center at the junction of Mar
ket street and Van Ness avenue, the two
widest thoroughfares which cross the city.
Here, according to the plan, should be lo
cated the city buildings. At present they
are scattered. However, It has been found
that the present City Hall Is bo badly
wrecked that it would cost more to re
store it than to build anew. Other city
buildings have suffered a similar fate.
A law passed at the special session of
the Legislature empowers the City Super
visors of 9an Franci-ro to sell and pur
chase land as they desire, without the ne
cessity of city elections. This being the
cae, the Board of Supervisors is disposed
to sell the site of the wrecked City Hall
and with the money purchase land at the
corner of Van Ness and Market streeet
for the civic center In accordance with
the Burnham plans.
Home for the Commission.
A special committee appointed to report
on the subject has suggested that six mu
nicipal buildings be erected at this spot
Administration building. Department of
Public Works. Department of Public
Health, Hall of Records. Courthouse and
Department of Police. The State Legis
lature voted the sum of $500,000 for a build
ing In San Francisco to house the Rtate
commissions which have heretofore been
scattered throughout the city.
It is proposed to place this state 'build
ing at the civic center and make It part
of the general scheme. To these must be
added the new public library, which had
been provided for some time before the
disaster. Bonds have been sold for the
library, and It had been previously de
cided to erect it on this site. All future
state, city and Federal buildings where
imperative conditions do not otherwise ne
cessitate will be erected at this point.
From thirt civic center a strip of land
a block wide will be turned into a beau
tiful driveway, connecting with the pan
handle of the park. The city will radiate
from this group of buildings.
Market Street the Main Artery.
It is already evident that Market street
will again be the main artery of trade.
The principal retail section may be a little
further removed from the ferry than of
old, but in most other respects the lines
of the old city will be followed. There
will not be any considerable widening of
streets, and the opposition to expenditures
for beauty's sake Is eo strong that the
other projects for the adornment of the
city will without doubt be abandoned for
the present. Chinatown is still an unset
tled problem, with Indications at present
pointing to its restoration on more sani
tary lines on the old site..
So flourishing has become the new re
tail section of the city that the downtown
property-owners have become seriously
alarmed. At first they refused to hear of
a reduction of rents, but since the re
tailers have established temporarily, at
least, on Van Ness avenue and Fillmore
street, the downtown owners are holding
out big inducements to persuade the re
tailers to return to their old locations as
soon as buildings can be erected thereon.
In some cases offers to remit rent for
the first six months have been made.
Pardee Itegains Lost Prestige.
The prestige lost by Governor Pardee
during the strenuous days following the
tire, when the chief executive of the state
seemed too bewildered to act. has In large
measure been regained through the spir
ited manner in which the Governor put
through the extra session of the Legisla
ture. It was a quick, honest session and
one fruitful of great good.
The Governorship was never filled by a
man of higher integrity than Pardee, nor
hy one who more ardently desires to do
for the people of the state, but Pardee
lacks the magnetism and brilliancy to
make a popular favorite. He is In a way
not unlike the late President Benjamin
Harrison. Even his friends do not warm
to him, and it Is just this which may cost
Pardee the nomination this Fall.
The Governor wants that nomination
more than he ever wanted anything in his
life. He has with consummate skill kept
free of San Francisco politics, that whirl
pool which has sucked numberless good
souls to oblivion. There is a merry fight
ahead. The pot has begun to boil and will
continue at volcano heat through the
nominating conventions In August and the
election in November.
Bryan Boom in California.
It was not many months ago that the
prediction could have been made with
safety that the California Democrats
would declare for ITearst for President In
IMS. However, in the past week the Bryan
boom has caught the state, and from San
Diego to Siskiyou the Democracy is shout
ing for the Nebraskan. It Is a bitter pill
for Hearst, especially In California, but
he has been absolutely submerged by the
Bryan flood tide.
In local politics the most absorbing item
of tne week was the throw-down of Ruef
by the Republican State Central Commit
tee. There have been two Republican
committees in San Francisco for the past
year. One was the regular committee and
the other a nondescript organization con
trolled by Ruef. A fight was made by
Ruef to secure recognition, but the state
body has counted him out. Ruef has a
habit of bobbing up stronger than ever,
every time he .receives a knockout blow,
so his next move Is naturally awaited
with eagerness.
It Is possible that the arrival of a grand
child will bring about a reconciliation
between .Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Huntington,
RESEMBLE OLD ON
who were but r:ently divorced in this
city. Huntington is the street-car. mag
nate and is counted next to the richest
man in California. His son, Howard El
Huntington, has now ecome a father.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Huntington, Sr.. has
tened to Los Angeles after the stork left
its precious burden, and reports from the
southern city state that a reconciliation
is likely.
This infant, by the way, a little girl, is
the richest heiress in California, if not in
the entire West. . Something like $40,000.
000 will some day be hers, with no one to
dispute her right to It.
Demand for Good Drama.
It will not be long before San Fran
cisco regains -the high place it held in
the estimation of theatrical folk. The Co
lumbia Theater is being rebuilt, and such
is the demand for good drama here that
the owners of the theater have arranged
to have construction continue night and
day. The site will be illuminated by elec
tric lights, and work will not cease until
the doors of the playhouse swing open.
The symphony concerts are to be re
sumed in the Greek Theater a,t the Uni
versity of California during the present
month, and will be continued while the
Summer school la in session.

Harriman's Entrance to Seat
tle Not Yet Determined.
EXPENSE WILL BE HEAVY
I'ablau Tactics Adopted by tlie New
comer, While Council Wrestles
With Great Northern Inter
ests and I'roperty-Owners.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 16. (Special.)
The Harriman interests- are waiting
In patience for a" month until James J.
Hill rerns'from an excursion to Labra
dor and Indicates his position on the
opening of Fifth avenue, one of -the two
routes the City Council is considering to
accommodate the Union Pacific extension
to Seattle. . '
The Harriman line has been "waiting for
months. Its rtrst franchise was present
ed to the old Council, and the application
was renewed when the new Council or
ganized in April. The Harriman line has
said comparatively nothing in regard to
its franchise. Property-owners have done
the talking.
In its franchise application, the Harri
man line asks entrance to Seattle over
Fourth avenue. As an alternative, and
without consulting President Hill, local
Great Northern officials have suggested
a strictly railroad street, for the use of
all roads, using Fifth avenue for team
ing purposes. '
On this basis of acceptance of Fifth
avenue, the Harrima.n line would be In
volved in expenditures as follows: Con
demnations. J1K5.000; filling the street,
$117,000; total. $302,000. The Great North
ern will demand. If it grant a right of way
through Its property, that the Harriman
line assume all costs for overhead bridge
construction. ,That is an indefinite cost
that cannot be estimated, but the figures
given show the Harriman officials were
conservative in an estimate that Fifth
avenue meant an extra expense of JSOO.OOO
In entering Seattle. Especially is this es
timate likely to be true whpn it la realized
that extra rights of way would have to
be acquired to get from Fourth to Fifth
avenue at the southern part of the city.
All these figures of cost have been ig
nored by the Harriman people while "the
property-owners have been suggesting an
alternative route. The operating disad
vantage has not been pointed out. It has
been pretty generally shown that the
property-owners were not in a mood to
argue, and that they were determined to
show their scheme in full.
Whether the Harriman people have de
liberately allowed the property-owners to
work out all their schemes until they ex
haust themselves or not is an open ques
tion. But the situation has that appear
ance. It will not hurt the railroad to

Difficulties in the Way of Adoption
of the Elevator System.
KtONA, Wash.. June 16. (Special.) H.
Schlaefer. Spokane agent of Kerr, Gifford
& Co., grain exporters, was in Kiona this
week, conferring with the local repre
sentatives of the company, the J. W.
Kennedy Company, relative to the hand
ling of this year's crop.
Mr. Schlaefer, In speaking of the agita
tation in favor of the elevator system,
states that, while he is himself In favor
of It, the farmers do not generally under
stand the difficulties In the way of Its
adoption. This Coast, is practically de
pendent on water transportation by way
of the Horn, to get the grain to market.
Vessels engaged In this traffic are gen
eral cargo ships, not equipped for handling
grain In bulk, nor could the owners of the
vessels afford to equip with tanks or bins
necessary for carrying wheat in bulk, as
the return cargo might be general mer
chandise or cement, or something else,
and the present arrangement of the holds
Is necessary.
In the long sea voyage around Cape
Horn, twice crossing the equator, the
grain Is apt to heat if in bulk. This the
sacks prevent. The completion of the
Panama Canal will largely do away with
this difficulty. If the elevator system is
adopted, says Mr. Schlaefer, the .farmers
will be obliged to exercise greater care in
cleaning their wheat. A few smut balls
in the wheat now does not matter ma
terially: but If it xoes through the ele
vator, the handling and dropping from a
considerable height bursts tne smut balls
and ruins the grain.
As the sacked grain brings about 4 cents
a bushel more than unsacked, the expense
to the farmers for saeking is not so great
after all.
Change In Banquet Hour.
CORVALLIS. Or., June IB. (Special.)
A new arrangement with reference to the
annual alumni banquet and reunion at
the Agricultural College Is that hereafter
the banquet will occur at 6 o'clock In the
evening, instead of after the programme
and reunion, as formerly. The 6 o'clock
Idea was tried out at Willamette this
year, and is said to have been satisfac
tory. Another change with reference to the
O. A. C. banquet Is that it will occur
Tuesday evening hereafter, Intsead of on
Wednesday. The change makes it occur
before the graduating exercises instead of
afterward, a feature that is believed will
add to the interest and attendance. The
new officers of the association are: John
Fulton, president; William Wicks, vice
president; Mrs. Lucile Buxton, secretary;
Mrs. Olive McKellips, treasurer.
Foot Caught in Flywheel.
BOISE, Idaho, June 16. (Special.) J. C.
Johnson, the well-known mining man,
was brought into town today from Pearl,
suffering from the results of a remark
able accident. He and his son were at
tempting to start an old hoisting engine
for the purpose of lifting the bucket out
of the shaft. The engine started while
Johnson was pressing on one of the
spokes of the flywheel with his foot.
The foot caught in a sharp angle made
between the spokes and the belt wheel
and was thrown around twice before the
boy could stop the engine. When it was
stopped his foot had worked through and
was Just about to be eaught in the cog
gearing. Mr. Johnson will recoverThere
were no bones broken.
Rush for Idaho Irrigated Land.
LEWI3TON, Idaho. June 16. (Special.)
The first Irrigated lands ever placed on
the market in North Idaho were today of
fered by the Lewiston-Sweetwater Com
pany, of Portland, Or., and there was a
rush of buyers. The only section yet plat
ted embraces 320 acres, and 135 acres were
sold during the day at $250 an acre. The
lands lie south of Lewlston in the Lewis
ton Valley, and are covered by a ditch
just completed.
Campaign for a Congressman.
SPOKANE!, June 16. The Republican
Convention of Spokane County today
adopted a platform declaring that the
State of Washington -should be divided
into Congressional districts "as by law
