To me no other city in tho world could ever take the place of San Francisco. I went there In 1S89. Held spell bound by the view of that beautiful busv throng. I rode up and down Market street, even far out on Valen cia, trying to find a place to alight. The town was too big for me, and ifter wandering around a few weeks. thottch farelnatcd by Its beauties, per haps more still by Its historic poin's and buildings, I was compelled to go back to the farm for shelter. Hut the memories of what 1 had peon gave me no rest, no peace of mind. So in 'H2 I returned again, fin this second visit I got really ac quainted with the San Francisco peo ple. They are unlike any other peo ple in the world. In a few months I felt that I was as much a part of San Francisco as all other San Franciscans were. Everybody on Market street and Kearney had a speaking acquain tance with one another. It seemed that we missed each other If one of us was absent from the nightly parades that took place on those two historic thoroughfares. Those thoiouzhfares were crowded all the time with distinguished law yei, great actors and actresses and fa mous -".thletes. The brightest newspa per men in the world walked arm In arm with the few remaining pioneers, many of whom wort' the picturesque attire of the dayB of '4!l. People of studios and places of business, seldom remained In them. They were too fond of outdoors. The very air of the city seemed to be full of Inspiration and success. In later years, when skyscrapers arose, a tall building would stand ma jestically by a little old wooden build ing that had perhaps been famous when gold dust was weighed out on the main streets in exheange for mer chandise. Tioth buildings seemed to look as though they were proud of each other. Whether It rained or whether it shone San Francisco was happy. The only time that Its people ever seemed alarmed was now and then when some slight quiver was felt from beneath the earth's surface that caused the evening papers to sell like hot cakes. But the laughing, beautiful women, for which the city was Justly famed, soon smiled the seriousness away and Sar, Francisco resumed a gala life again. At ciubs the wittiest speakers joked off any serines attempt to get fright ened over the rumbling sounds and the unsteady buildings' In a few years the slight terror caused by the feeble earthquakes had been forgo ten, people were charmed and capti vated l.y 1be picturesque trees and most exquisite colors of green that coered the landscape just outside of San Francisco, and thousands upon thousands were content to call exis tence In San Francisco supreme suc cess, and existence In another city in the world a failure In life. To a lover of Sari Francisco It's an awful task to read of what seems to be Its total destruction. After the loss of life the financial loss In property doesn't appeal to one ns much as the destruction of the buildings so Inti mately associated with its historic past, and so typical of It buildings that were built by the pioneers, and and picture that impresses itself like moth er s cooking, never to be replaced by New Through Service Over the Northern Pacific-Burlington Railways, East any others quite ns good. Once gone, always gone. A new city may grow, but It will be built with the memory of awful times. New San Francisco will never look like the old one. Mark Twain, Joaquin Miller, Joe Goodman anil Ned Hamil ton looked like San Francisco. The George Knights, the Ruben Idoyds, the Ixmls Strausses, and John P. Irish were characters in keeping with San Francisco and the Golden Gate. I am fearful that when the new San Fran clsco tppenrs it won't harmonize with the low-cut velvet waistcoats and the watch chains that circle around thu neck: that the Hohemlan clubs, through Uncle George Hramley, may continue to recite "When the Cows Come Home," will never be the same. Nob Hill will never'appear us it is in my memory. The landmarks of time arc gone. They couldn't have been bought by man. and can't he reproduced by man. I knew Fire Chief Sullivan and knew him well. Years ago I snw him. as nsslnnt chief, as a. hero In the fires among the wordnn buildings south .of Market street, nnd the bravo dee. Is he wes capable of doing were written In his plain, homely features. It was he that led me In fear and trembling Into the presence of tho late Sam Rainey, the political boss, after he had been cartooned by me. His monument should be one of the first new structures to adorn tho modern San Francisco. While the hom(r'l,ess gather on tho wnrm sand hills of Golden Gate park, peering through wet, glazed eyes upon the harbor called Golden Gate, that Admitted their ancestors In better days, they will realize that all the associations which those golden days have gone have been wiped out by the same destiny that made their land scape and their peoplo so beautiful.
