The Estacada News l— um é Cacti Thursday FRISCO BUILDING UP. Music of Saw and Hammer Continues Night and Day. San Francisco, Feb. 19.— San Fran cisco, after all, ia not going to allow the opportunities for civie betterment brought about by the earthquake and fire to go entirely neglected. A begin ning, feeble enough though it be, has been made. Several of the downtown streets are to be widened. The heavy teaming and the congestion brought about where buildiug is progressing have moved the board of supervisors to decree that portious of the sidewalks must be sacrificed to the thoroughfares. While this in itself is of importance for the future San Francisco, its greatest significance lies in the fact that it has met with general approval and repre sents the first signs of a willingness to make sacrifices for the city that is to be. The magnificent programme of wid­ ened streets, parks and squares outlined for the city while the embers still glowed is a gradually passing vision, but those who unselfishly love Ban Fran­ cisco still have hope that part of the great plan at least will be realized. The street widening is the flret ray of hope. A walk about the burned section shows that a wonderful amount of re­ building has been accomplished. Since the first of May new buildings to the value o f $45,000,000 have been begun. Plans are being drawn for a like amount. In every case the structures are erected under rush orders. In sev­ eral instances work has continued night and day. The streets resound with the sound of the piledriver, the saw and the hammer by night as well as by day. The last traces o f gloom have given way to an abiding faith. The promotion committee has issued a bulletin bearing on the papulation of Ban Francisco at the present time. The committee, after figuring by various methods, comes to the conclusion that the city now contaios 428,000 persons, Before the fire the committee figured that the population of the city was 500,000. The figures of the Southern Pacific agree almost exactly with those of the promotion committee. Due al lowance, howpver, must be made for the zeal of both bodies, and a fair and con­ servative estimate of the c ity ’s popu­ lation would place it at about 400,000. REACH AGREEMENT T W EN T Y KILLED. Heavily Loaded Electric Train Lsavea the Track New York, Feb. 18__ Sixteen paaaen gera were killed outright, four othera have died of their Injuries, and at least 50 more were more or lesa seriously in jured in the wreck of the White Plains and BrewsteT express on the Harlem division of the New York Central Hudson River railroad, near Woodlawn road in the Bronx borough of Greater New York Saturday evening. The train left the Grand Central sta tion at 6:13 o ’clock, drawn by two heavy electric motors, and loaded with a matinee crowd and commuters on their way home from business in the city. I t consisted o f a combination baggage and smoking car, and five coaches. A fte r stopping at One Hun dred and Twenty-fifth street, the train was scheduled to run express to White Plains. A t Woodlawn road the four tracks pass through a rough, rocky cut and take a sharp curve. When the train reached the curve it was running at a speed estimated at 60 miles an hour. Both motors and the smoking car swung safely around the curve, but the other cars left the rails and plunged over the sides with a terrific crash tearing up the tracks for a hundred yards before they collapsed. The cause of the wreck has not been officially determined. At Grand Central station there was inclination to blame the accident to spreading rails, but later it was said that it was believed that the axle of the first passenger coach broke.
