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.

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.
