REHABILITATION OF SAN FRANCISCO Figures Show Population of Buy Cities Hus Increased 75,000 Since Earthquake. San Francisco, Oct. 24. Eighteen months after tho fire, San Francisco looks back over a splendid achieve ment, in the stupendous task of re habilitating her business section. Some idea of the enormity of the work may be conceived when It is stated that approximately $136,000, 000 in cash has been spent for this purpose. Applications for buildings are estimated to have reached $100, 000,000, representing the construc tion of 11,000 now permanent build ings, seven thousand of which have been completed. A fact worthy of note Is that of the amount mentioned above as having been spent In re habilitation, $5C, 4 10,000, as Is esti mated, was paid to labor. This pros perity of the workmen and the re tailers Is reflected in the bank clear ings and the deposits in the savings banks. The clearings since tho Are have crept up past the $2,500,000, 000 mark. As conditions assumo normal as pects again thousands of business men and their families who have been temporarily located in tho neighbor ing cities about the bay and down the peninsula are moving back to San Francisco, it being estimated that during the past year some 14,000 tormer residents have returned to She metropolis. The disaster tight ened the bonds uniting the bay cities, however, In every way, and tho busi ness interests of the entire region fronting San Francisco bay are ap preciating the Interdependence which exists commercially. Data secured Tho California Promotion Committee exists commercially. Data secured by from the ferry companies shows that from the month of September more than 3,230,000 passengers wero transported across the bay, an aver age of upwards of 50,000 dally each way. A study of tho estimates of popu lation is a convincing argument in support of the statement that pros perity reigns. San Francisco's popu lation at tho'beginning of 190G, three and one-half months before the fire, was conservatively estimated at 500, 000, and adding 135,000 as the com bined population of the bay cities, Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda, made a total population for the San Francisco bay region of 635,000. Careful computations and estimates based on figures furnished by tho water company and by the post office officials, place the present population of this city at 450,000, while the combined population of the bay cities mentioned above has Increased 260, 000, a grand total of 710,000, or a gain in population for the region of 75,000. Conditions In tho labor unions are normal as regards wages and there are no disputes whatever pending. This condition, supplemented by the return to normal of prices of build ing materials and the prospect of greater facilities for shippers In the handling of freight, Insures a vigor ous pursuance of the reconstruction work. To state the situation in a nutshell, it may be said that one-third of the burned district has been rebuilt and that the remaining two-thirds will be covered within the next three years. Rather than setting the city back, as predicted, the disaster will leave San Francisco, on its fifth anniver sary, a greater and better city than it was before. Widow Returns. Much sympathy is expressed up and down the Coqullle river, over tho sudden and untimely death of Carl Rogers, engineer on the government works at Bandon, whose death was chronicled in yesterday's Times. Ho had been married tho previous Sat urday before being stricken with paralysis on Monday. He had felt in usual health except for a slight, occasional headache which ho had noticed for about a month. On Mon day, he was not feeling well in the morning and concluded to stay at home and do a little work about the house. His illness seized him that morning, and he died the next day. He had provided a home and furnish ings and with his bride was about to take up the joys of a happy "American home. Mrs. Rogers was formerly Miss Vega Anderson, and at one time spent several months in this vicinity, tier home is in Coqullle and she re turned there yesterday to live with her parents, a widow with haplness snatched from her almost before she had realized it.

WANT ADS UNION IRON WORKS WILL NOT BE CLOSED Schwab Relieves Snn Francisco by Promising to Spend Million Instead. San Francisco., Oct. 24. Charles M. Schwab addressed a large gather ing of the most influential men of San Francisco at noon today in the board room of the Merchants' Ex change. His subject was "San Fran cisco's Industrial Situation and Her Commercial Future." Most Important of the direct state ments made by Schwab was that, after looking the ground over care fully, he decided not only to con tinue the Union Iron Works, but to moderlze that shipbuilding and structural plant at a cost of $1,000, 000 or more and to enlarge its ca pacity. This announcement threw his audience into a turmoil of handclapping and cheers. Mr. Schwab declared that the con ditions of industrial warfare ex isting in San Francisco cannot sur vive; that the unusual and abnormal scale of prices of labor Imposed by the union upon capital In this city must fall; that confidence as between themselves and In the integrity of the courts must be restored among the people of San Francisco; that he is not an enemy of organized la bor, but Is opposed to the way in which labor unions aro administered today; that "San Francisco cannot help succeeding," and that this city has before It a future greater In in dustry and commerce and economic al achievements than in the past. After his address Mr. Schwab, In reply to a question, asked tho As sociated Press to make for him the following statement: "My recent criticisms regarding Nevada have been misunderstood. I have not criticised and do not criti cise the citizens of that state. My criticisms were dlrected-soley against the men who have brought tho mines of Nevada to New York."
