. Oakland. Cal- April JS. 1 have Just
. returned from a midnight tour of the
devastated regiona f Ban Franciaco.
I The-rffect of thouaanda of aorea of
' rulna b dreary enough in the "day time.
At night it la etartlins-ly uncanny. It
' la a perfect picture of desolation. Milea
of , shattered walla and crumbling- rulna
are lit by the fitful glare of amolderlng
f fires that still bura In thousand baae
i' menta. .
' In fantastlo ahapea remnanta of once
magnificent . structures jwa outlined
against the black aky. Through them
- the wind alngs ,a- mournful dirge. . De
tached cornices and atrlps of tin rasp

smoldering wreck that contains a bank
vault, ara greups of soldier eluSMred
around a campfir. the flra lightplayin
on the polished steel of their weapona.
A gruff .;ialt" forces the traveler t re

Now and then ta heart tha crash of
falling' wall which haa balanced . back
and forth In the air ainoo the great. flra.
Krom the smoldering embera frequently
cornea the odor Of burning flesh or a
tokening stench Chat binta at tha horri
ble fata which has overtaken aoma ytc
tlra of tha earthquake.
Tha mantle of night hides newness
of tha disaster, so apparent In the day
time.- Except for tha Area that still cast
a lurid glare, one might imagine ha was
in the ruins of some ancient city, with
the awesome stillness that alwaye
broods oVer desolated plaoea, Bome
of the shattered walls loom as high as
the Coliseum. The desertion is so com
plete that' one almost looks for wild
beasts prowling In tha dark ways to
complete tha picture.
Disaster AppaUlag.
Tha dlsastersuffered by Ban Franciaco
la appalling. One doea not realise tha
extent of the holocaust until one stands
on Nob BUI and gases- around over ml
and miles of ruin, aa far as tha eye can
reach. With two or three exceptions,
the entire region from Van Nesa avenue
to the bay abqra is swept clean! Noth
ing remains but heaps-of rabblsh to
mark the most substantial part of tha
bay city. An engineer told ma that' h
had computed the destroyed region a
oontaintng l,Ot0 SCTes,' " nearly 'Six
square milea. Tha heat waa so -intense
that milea of asphalt pavement were
; burned.' sandstone blocks dlslntregated
' ''and even sranlte flaked and chipped.
Tha steel rails of street ear tracka were
bent, twisted and looped ao aa to be
Utterly nselesa. ,
" The-region 'destroyed contained ap
- proximately tE 0,000 residents and 40,000
transient The district left contains
approximately (00,000 people, but few
stores and no hotels. In but few of
these bouaes is there water, and In none
can a flra be built until tha shattered
chimneys are repaired. Fillmore street
: haa become a new Market street Tha
city halt and publlo offices have moved
over In a body and merchants and pro
fessional men are rapidly following.
' The narrow sidewalks are crowded to
suffocation, while streetcars ara loaded
: textile guards. Everybody aeema to take
their losa In good part, .hopeful and
. cheerful for tha future. Many fortunes
' have been lost and many -formerly
wealthy men ara In distress, but all ara
bearing tha calamity cheerfully and pre
paring to begin lire anew. aiuj
temporary tracka ara being laid to con
vey the debrla away from tha ruined
city.
' Kaay la Mospltala.
Tha task faced was much greater
than would be occasioned In building
a new clly, for millions of tons of debris
must ba removed rrora me streets ana
building sltea before tha . work .of re
construction begins. Bu' n ar deter
mined that the city beautiful shall be
erected on the rulna. . "
The constant stream of refugees
which has been leaving tha city ahows
signs of diminution. Fewer people to
day left the city than any" day In the
past week. The strata la telling on the
neoDle. and mora are In tha hospitals
today than aver before., ' Tha Hat of
dead haa been greatly overestimatea,
but probably will not exceed-while
tha number Injured la under (00.
, .Contagious diseases are now filling
the hospitals and Dr. MacKensle, who Is
- la charge of thla branch of. tha work,
expects that the next two -or three
weeks will be tha worst In this regard.

Surplus Stock of Four - Hundred
' Writing Macnines Big; Demand
for Drugs and Disinfectants. f
In the Hun Francisco disaster, 10.000
typewriting machines were destroyed.
Tba demand for typewriters la exhaust
in the lunnlr In Portland, and It Is
said that if a customer were to lay
down $100 on tha counter of a rortiana
agency for either tha .Remington or
Smith Premier today he could not get a
new machine. Both houses have large
consignments on tha way1!
Manager Wlawell of tha Smith 'Pre-
jnlar company in, oxtisna . ws.

Manager "Wlawell. ."A rush order--or
It machines will arrive here Monday
from the factory to tide ua over a few
daya. Tha California disaater will have
tna effect of making business heavy In
Portland this year. I think It Is a con
servative estimate that 86,000 ' people
will ba Immediately added to Portland'a
permanent population. Tha lowest aa
tlmate I have heard Is 10,000, and I
personally believe It will ba a great deal
more."
The Portland Remington agency haa
turned over its entire atock within a
week and la renewing Its Una of ma
chines and auppllea. Manager Taylor
said: , - v y-: '
We Shipped- 117 new and second
hand machines to ; Ban Francisco, and
practically cleaned up our stock of sup
plies. Many of the machines were
bought by San Francisco people through
Portland men. The typewriters and
iivki tn Hon Francisco were destroyed
and the factories will not be able to
supply demands fully ior weess to
come. Tha business will ba heavy thla
seaaon as a result"
It Is estimated that there waa a sur
plus stock of 400 typewriters In Port
land. Tha Coast agency, on Stark street,
reported that the demand had not been
heavy, and that it, had not aold more
than a dosen machines as a result Tha
manager of the agency expressed the
view that It would be aoma tlme. before
business and professional offices using
typewriters In San Francisco would be
In a position to use machines, and
thought tha heavy demand.would come
later. "
The demand on ' Portland wholesale,
drug stocks is enormous. Soon after
the disaster, telegraphic orders began
coming ltt for. large supplies of drugs,
disinfectants and hospital auppllea. The
Blumauer-Frank Drug company hap-
nA. n I. v. nn Knnit CK tnna nt fill nr.

extraordinary demand for thla chemical.
Telegrams came from officers of the
city, state and tha army for heavy ship

brief but urgent.' ,
"Uhlp us a carload of dlslnfectanta

specifying anything further. The men
in tha drug house worked day and night

Butte, April. Jg. John P. Walker, all-1
round confidence man and alleged mining
expert who at different tlmea haa posed
as Kay Btannard Baker, John L. JUefor
rest and John V. Lafrance, and who dur
ing the two years that he la known to
have been In Montana, haa duped a num
ber of wealthy mlneowners and gslned
entree into the best society, waa con
victed at Boulder today on a charge of
forgery. The escapade which . haa
brought him to the prison doors waa his
connection with a Baltimore mine near
Boulder In October of last ' year. He
gave a woman, with whom he made an
arrangement .for 'hoarding miners, a
bogus check for IZ.86T. emortiy aiter-
ward ha disappeared and waa caught at
Mildred. Utah,' where he gave another
worthless check.
The career of Walker la one of the
most remarkable. - Two veira aeo ha ap
peared at Lander, Wyoming, where be
represented himself to ba Bay Stannard
Baker, the fatuous political economist
and with a scheme which was to put the
beef trust out of existence he negotiated
In the name of the Rothschilds for the
purchaae of Ihouaands ot head of cattle
and townships or lana. xne initial pay
ment was to have been made on a cer
tain day. but when the . time came
Walker disappeared. He was next heard
of at Virginia City In thla state, where
he appeared as Baker, and secured an
option on tha famous Kearsarga mine.
Ten thousand dollars waa to have been
paid on a certain day, but when tha day
arrived Walker had again disappeared.
Not long ago whiles in the Little
Ruckles, where he waa royally" -received
as a mining expert, he tendered a most
magnificent banquet to hia friends. At
his direction the hotel proprietor se
cured the choicest viands and choicest of
everything. On the evening of the barr-
quet the guests arrived' and patiently
awaited the arrival of Up hoat Walker
failed to appear and waa not again nearq
of until hia last escapade. -
At his trial at Boulder Walker denied
that he had ever been In Lander or Vir
ginia City and his defense was lapse of
memory. He insists that he Is a majt
with a double personality and that for
rears he has been afflicted with losa
of memory which at Intervals covers
long periods or time.

Montana Man Seen to Fall

. (Special Dispatch te The J oar nil.)
Forsyth. Mont.. April . Word -was
brought tOj- Forsyth today by Charlea
Hyaham, ar Milwaukee road contractor,
that William Decker bad been drowned In
the Yellowstone river at a ford about
six miles from town, this morning- about
( o'clock. Iiysham states that an em
ploye quit work this morning and started
away with one of Hysbam'e horses. The
employe went to the ford and crossed
and Decker started after him on horse
back. Wben near the center ot the river
the horse was aeen to plunge and Decker
was thrown or fell off. I It Is thought
that the fugitive fired at Decker, and
perhaps killed him.
Unless the body is found, which is
not likely, owing to ths treacheroua ear
rent o the river, it will never be known
how he came to his death. Decker waa
well known In eaatern Montana, having
been foreman for the Hysliam Cattle
company for a number of years and was
foreman of a grading outfit He was an
Industrious man and waa well liked. His
widow, who Is at Banders, . haa been
