Dead in Santa Rosa 500
SAN FRANCISCO, April l!.-("in Oakland) -Reports from the
interior are most alarming. Santa Rosa, one of the most beautiful
cities of the state, in the prosperous count v of Sonoma, w n tntul u'twlr
There are 10.000 homeless men, women and children, huddled together
I he hm of hie in not to Iw estimated, It w ill probably reach the thou
sands. As the last irivat seismic tremor spent its force -in the earth the
wlmle business portion tumbled into ruins. The main street is piled
many feet deep with the fallen buildings. Not one business block is
left in tact. This destruction includes all of the. county buildings. The
four-story court house with its dome mounting high into the heavens,
is merely a pile of broken masonry. Nothing is left.
What was not destroyed by the earthquake has been swept by fire.
Fntil the llames leaped into the heavens there was hope of saving the
.residence district. It was nooii apparent that any such idea that tnidit
have been entertained wits to be abandoned. This was appreciated by
ine citizens as iney prepared to desert their homes, not even their house
bold goods being taken.
SACRA MKNTO, April 111. - Oscar Lucas arrived here today from
Mllilil Kosa. J e said: I here is not n In-ick or tnn hm ,lm loft

One Miracle Recorded
RERKELKY, Cal., April 19.-By a seeming miracle the big Uni
versity building standing on the campus elevation escaped harm in the
earthquake shock. Rector James F. Sutton, of the University said:
"I have made a personal examination of the building and have
received reports from the deans of the college and jt appears that not
one of the buildings is injured.
"Prof. O'Neill, of th chemistry department,, reports that the
damage done to the instruments in the building will not aggregate $50.
The California has not a mark on it to indicate that an earthquake oc
curred. The other buildings appear to be in the same condition. The
Creek theater has not, a scratch on its vrnlls,"
The town of Berkeley was not so fortunate as the University in
llie matter of damage sustained. No lives were lost, nor were there
any notable disasters to buildings, but the aggregate damage in the
shape of structure, broken chimneys and falling walls will be many
thousands of dollars.
The shock of the trembler did comparatively little damage in
Berkeley. The most dninniro snlTVren1 WHS tho fnllim in nt ...
hall and the eoinplete rum of the deaf and dumb nsyluin. The Berkeley
high school also suffered some considerable damage, the residence por
tions of the town were damaged only by the falling of chimneys and
the loss of a few odds and ends which were hurled around in the in
teriors. PRESIDENT SIGNS APPROPRIATION.
WASHINGTON, April 19. The President tonight at 6 o'clock,
signed a joint resolution passed by Congress today appropriating $1,000.
000 for San Francisco sufferers. .

Cisco earthquake was felt in Cleveland this mornimr. the distiirhnnen
being plainly recorded at the observatory at St. Ignatius college. There

questing them to inake up carloads of provisions, stoves, blankets, cook
ing utensils, etc. Special arrangements have been made for special
trains to attach to these ears free of all freight charges.
Insurance Risks $250,000,000
CHICAGO, April If). Fire insurance companies had about $230,.
000,000 at risk in the city of San Francisco, the estimate being based on
the premiums received in 1905. For years the Pacific Coast has been the
one section of the country which could be depended upon for a steady
profit year in and venr out. Sun Francisco li.-m fii-r-n O.n ).ut
producer of the coast. Its loss ratio for a period of years has been the
ji.wcki., ocmg icss man z per cent, oi any city m the country, despite
the unusual proportion of frame construction. As a result of this
usually favorable experience rates were low in that city.
Los Angeles Sending Aid
LOS ANGELES, April 19. This city has lost no time in going to
the relief of stricken Sn Francisco. The city council hns appropriated
$5,000 to bead a public subscription fund and newspaper subscriptions
aside from this have already exceeded $25,000. H. E. Huntington, the
street railway magnate, has given $10,000. A general relief committee
has been formed to have supervision over the raising of relief nionpy
and pledged the sura of $100,000.
Tho engineers and electricians of Los Angeles have formed a corps,
..num. ohiivot iui nre t:ii:triiig ui wiv NLreuiH arm general resiorauon oi

call to oil Catholics within his jurisdiction to respond in behalf of
San Francisco. The city council last night telegraphed the war 'de
partment requesting that the revenue cutter Hugh McCulIough now
lying at San Pedro, 20 miles from here, be detailed to carry fifty doctors
and 150 trained nurses to Sun Francisco. These doevors and nurses
have been held in readiness for hours but their departure has been pre
vented by a railroad blockade this side of the stricken city.

WRIGHTMAN IN LEAD.
F. I, Dunbar hns made one of the
best secretaries in the state in the his
tory of Oregon. He has conducted the
office economically and lias speedily,
aucl carefully attended to the wants
of all citizens who have business in
his office. System and carefulness in
the selection of assistants has been
anions; the chief causes of his Buccess.
When he made Frank T. Wrightman cor
portaion clerk he knew what he was
about and not a complaint has been
heard on the work of that department
since the office was created and Mr.
Wrightman assumed its duties after
his appointment. Mr. Wrightman is
now candidate for successor to Mr.
Dunbar and no mistake will be made
by the republicans if they nominate
him. That he will be nominated
seems to be assured irom all reports
of his popularity with the voters. He
has captured a largo part of Eastern
Oregon, and if the Valley does as well
by him he will be the next secretary of
state. Pendleton Tribune. '

worse. Then they
began to come on
his arms, then on

of about a year and a half of suffering
he grew so bad I had to tie his hands
In cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the flesh.
"He got to bo a mere skeleton, and
tvas hardly able to walk. My Aunt
advised mo to try Cuticura Sonn and
Ointment. So great was her ftuth in
It that she gave nio a small piece of
Soap to try and a little of the Oint
ment. I took it home without any
faith, but to please her I tried it, and
it seemed to dry up the sores a little.
"I sent to tho drug store and got a
cake of the Soap and a box of the
Ointment and followed the directions,
and at tho end of about two months
the sores were all well. He has
never had any sores of any kind since.
