to be grouped the administration build

a reasonable price by the city. The ex

civio center presents no great difficulty,
as most of the property-owners affected
have consented to sell at a fair figure.
The boulevard through the Mission was
made a simple proposition by the fire.
The proposed route has been stripped of
buildings and such an artistic driveway
aa It IS planned to construct . would
serve to boom property throughout this
section. The boulevard , about the city
has already been begun. The, section
along the ocean Is completed. The chief

Fort Mason, San Franoisco, April s.
"I doraand the aame privileges ac
corded -other railroads, otherwise, so far
as I am concerned - Seattle Is off the
map."
The foregoing statement 'was mads
la my presence by G H Harriman of
the Southern Pacific railway. Mr. Har
riman arrived in San Francisco Wednes
Jay night with a special train of medi
cal supplies and left Friday night for
Seattle. He hae been advised that Se
attle is Inclined Jto balk at giving him
right of way he wants into the city, and
unless they gave him the same conces
sions accorded James J. Hill many
years ago, --he proposes to forget Se
attle even In hla dreams.
I was Introduced to Mr. Harriman as
a member of the Maaeachusetta relief
committee. My great ailent conversa
tion with Mr. Harriman took place In
Major-Oeneral Oreely'a office at Fort
Mason at the meeting of the San Fran
cisco finance committee. I waa lean
ing against the window frame when Mr.
Harriman walked across the room and
seated himself on a sofa not -two feet
away. He was talking about - Seattle
with his companion. Said Mr. Harri
man: '
"I don't like the way Seattle la using
me. Up to dste, I have asked for noth
ing unreasonable. I have gone Into
that city and spent a mint of money. I
want to go to Seattle. I want to send
my trains there, I : want a share of
(Seattle business and I want to help
build Aip the city and the great .north
west, but mark me, unless Seattle shows
a disposition to help, unless I am
granted the same; prlvilegee - accorded
rival railroads, I 'will never go north of
Portland as ions aa I live." ,
"Tea, I know conditions are not the
same aa they were 10 years ago. But.
do you realise It means just as much to
Seattle to have me there as It does to
me to be there? The coming of the
Union Pacific simply mesns the making;
of Seattle as the Oriental depot. I can
not discuss all my plana at this time
simply because I have not completely
formulated them of course, but I do not
Intend to go to Seattle for my health
and once there you may depend upon
It that I will not leave a single atone
unturned In the development of trade.
Yea, Blr, I am personally going to Seat

Fourth avenue and I think I should have
it,, f believe I can make them eee that,
if not. well, anyway, while I've, sunk
a fortune In Seattle real estate It was. a

money out and more too, any time. It

was little injury to shipping. The rail
transportation lines are not badly hurt,
which la perhaps the moat .fortunate
thing attending the disaster, "-as they
are now In a position to render Impor
tant assistance In alleviating distress.
The Southern Pacific's losses were- not
great aside from the destruction of the
company's office building and some
other property. We have not given muolt
thought: to the Southern Pacific but
have been busy doing what we could to
aid In relief work.
"The fire swept over a large portion
of the most Important part of the city.
it was as n roruiin snouia oa uurncu
from -the Lewis and Clark fair ground i
to the , river, without destroying . the
waterfront. It might have been much
worse. Commg at the hour It did. the
disaster did not cauae the great lees of
life . that would have occurred If the
people had been at tbelr work In the
business district" .. -
Belief Ossnpaigar Oood On. .
He said the methods of carrying on
relief work by tha authorities and com
mittees bad been effective and satisfactory.-
It was moat fortunate that the
departments of the army were on the
scene. They .took hold of the situation
In a prompt and efficient manner, and
gave the people confidence. Funaton was
In charge, with all neceaaary authority
to meet and handle emergencies aa'they
arose, and order waa soon restored.
Referring to a report that the south
ern Pacific and Central Paclflo companies
had lost valuable records of their lands
in the Are. he said:
- "I do not think there Is any serious
loss of records of our companies. But
the loss of records of many San Fran
cisco people must be heavy, and will
entail much hardship on those whose
possession of property depended on such
records, and who were without vaults. In
which to keep them.
; City to Be BehnlM. . f "
' "San Francisco will, of course, be re
built at once. Merchants: are already
doing business In temporary quarters. 1
cannot particularise, but I know of a
dosen or more who have already selected
attes and are making preparations to re
build warehouses and business houses.
The people are being taken care of as
well as Is possible under existing con
ditions. They have plenty to eat and
there is monef for -their Immediate
needs. They are the most cheerful peo
ple ever seen under similar circum
stances. While their necessities now are
provided for, the really hard time for
them is yet to come when they have to
atart In all over again with the material
things of life and fight It out - But
they will have help. The means will
some way be found."
Asked If there wss serious attention
being given In San Francisco to the
proposition of rebuilding thS city accord
Ing to the Burnham plan, he said, he
didn't know;' his attention had beev en
tirely given to other things; he had
heard more about the rebuilding plana

while there..

eyeing Mr. Cotton, who had just entered.
'It Is commonly reported , that Mr.
Cotton Is building one railroad over
there, and Mr. Levey Is - building an

"Well." if Mr. Cotton starts in to build

body to building It," said Hr. Harriman
