HOW SAN JOSE FARED
IN THE EARTHQUAKE
Former Resident of Grants Pass
Describes Scenes Dur
ing Ike Shock.
Editor Conner,
I thought it might be of interest ,
to some of the readers of the Courier j place and I would like to make my
to know how San Jose fared, and home here if it were not for the earth
some of the damage done by the earth-' quakes that are felt here at times,
quake oo the 18th of April. I was Three years this coming June there
asleep when the first heavy shock 1 was quite a hard shake, but nothing
came ami wumo me. x juiuueu out
of bed, had not any more than touched
the flour until I was burled with
violence into the bed; was rooming
on the first floor of two-story flat.
It seemed as though the house would
crash at any time and .yet, realized
there was no nse trying to get out as
there were large two-story buildings
on either side which were just as
liable to fall as the one I was in, so Ij
staid where 1 was until all was over
then got out and went down town to
view the wreck and watih the fire
which had broken out in a large
grocery store on Sooth Second street,
which destroyed about three-fourths
of the block before the firemen could
get control over it. The financial
loss in San Jose has been estimated
t 13,000,000; loss of life, 20, seven of
whom were in one building, a room
ing house on Locust street Nearly,
if not all, the publio buildings were
damaged ; city hall, walls are cracked
and bricks have fallen out In different
parts of structure on ontside ; do not
know what damage is on inside as I
have not been in it since the quake,
but they are using some, if not all,
portions of the building now. Post
offloe was injured it is claimed to the
extent of (13,000; oourt house, hall of
records, hall of justice, publio
library, normal school were all dam
aged, the normal school having been
condemned; hih school was so badly
wrecked that it will have to come
down. Horace Mann school on Santa
Clara street, has been con
demned ; Notre Dame college and St.
Mary's school damaged ; Saint Joseph' s
oh u roh, across the street north of the
postofllcs damaged, while St Patrick's
church ou Santa Clara street full flat
to the ground. First street, the finest
street in San Jose, lined ou either side
with large and substantial buildings,
is a trembling wreck from one end to
the other through business part. I do
not believe there is a single structure
In all that long line of buildings that
has not been damaged by the shake.
Walls are oracked in many instances
on the second and third stories, view
ed from the street and judging from
the bricks, plastering, etc., that is be
ing run down into the streets, in
oh u res made for that purpose, they
surely must have been damaged
great deal inBide. I believe every
street you walk on in the business
part of the town you will see struc
tures propped with heavy
props to keep them from falling while
men are workiug on them. Every
where you go there are broken
stones, heaps of brick and tangled
wires. Three-fourths of the fines and
ohlmneys are down in the town, some
of which went through the roof and
some of the chimneys went down into
the basements, some of the dwelliug
houses fell flat, covering the Inmates
with debris, others were thrown off
the foundutiou ami
ground while many
throwu out of shape
oome down. Three

re twisted and

of the largest
men's and boys' clothing stores in the
town fell flat I saw them take the
body of one man out who was killed
in a falling building on First street,
two more people, ladies, were injured
In same building. It is reported that
some of the large brick buildings will
be taken down piece by piece while
others will be blown down by dyna
mite. The annex to the Vendouie
HoWl is a mass of ruins, oue man kill
ed there while two or three were
taken out irom ruins alive. 1 was
there when thev Ux-k one injured'
man out. He called and told tnMn ;
about where to flud him. One fruit j
packing bouse near depot collapsed.
Depot building was damaged; the
State Asylum at Agnews collapsed,
something more than 100 lives lost
there, doctors, nurses and patieut.
I was out there about 3 p. ni. and saw
13 bodies lyiug ou the ground with
blankets thrown over them, waiting
for the uudertaker to take them awav
aud prepare them for burial I helped !
them to take one man out of the
ruins, who had fallen from third story
of building and had been covered np
under th rnius from about A :10 a. m.
uutil about 3 :30 p. m. He was still
alive aud although covered with lime,
did not seem to be seriously injured.

We carried hint to the operating table
and after he had been washed and
given a haty examination, he sat np
aud looked around. San Jose did not
suffer alone from

Workmen are busy in San Jose repair
ing as fast as possible the damage
doue in this place. I will say San
Jose is a vary pleasant place to live
and Santa Clara Valley is a beautiful
like the one n the 18th, yet there
were many flames thrown down by
that one. Old settlers say this is the
hardest one they have ever known
here. Well it is my first experience
with that kind of a shake, and I hope
it will be the last, as I can't say I en
joy them. Yonr respectfully,

JHE TORCHBEARER IN
OREGON LITERATURE

ly Advoccvtes Monument
to Simpson.
In Portland a fountain should be
dedicated to the memory of the author
of "Beautiful Willamette." He was
the torchbearer in Oregon's literature;
and althongh greater poets have lived
on the banks of the Willamette, he Is
the only one that lived and suffered.
sang his song and left it there. He
belongs to Oregon and is held loyally
in the hearts of her people. Children
are taught to revere his memory. He
was a lovable man.
One by one, those who knew Simp
son, condoned bis faults and loved
him, are passing " whither"
Something should be done soon to
perpetuate the memory of one who
has done more than all others together
to celebrate the beauty of the river
that
"From the Cascade's frozen gorges,
Leaping like a child at plav.
Winding, widening through the valley,
glides away. "
Some lines in the poem are tinged
with the sadness of prophecy:
"Onward, ever, lovely river,
(jailing to the far-off sea ;
Time that scars us.
Maims and mars us,
Leaves no track nor trench on thee."
Surely, Time scarred and maimed
and marred poor Sam Simpson in such
wise that the whole world might see
and condemn, if it would. But there
are many whose scars be of the soul
unseen by all eyes save the eyes of
God. But still on foiever glides the
river, calling to the far-off sea. And
somewhere, within sight of its blue
waves and within hearing of the song
of its lyrical lips, a fountain not a
monument I should be dedioated to
Sam Simpson. Ella Higginkon. in

HOP CONDITIONS TO BE
OFFICIALLY REPORTED
Agriculture.! Department of the
Government Will Issue
Bulletins.
Last year W. W. fetockberger, expert
on horticulture in the agricultural de
partment of the United State govern
ment at Washington, U. C, visited
the Pacific coast, looking np the hop
industry. As a result of this visit it
was decided to gather statistics of the
hop industry to form a basis for the
sending out of statistical information
on the growing of hops, the same as is
done with reference to the other staple
crops of the country.
Mr. Stockberger will be over the hop
districts again this year and in the
meantime he has made arrangements
with Chas. S. Liveeley of this city,
says the Salem statesman, to gather
what Information he can, by mail,
in order to make a start in the direc
tion of this work.
Accordingly, the following letter is
being sent out to all the hop growers
of Oregon, by Mr. Livesley:
"Dear Sir: I am just in receipt of
letter from the United States de
partment of agriculture In Washington,
D . C, requesting me to secure an ac
curate list of all the bop growers, to
gether with aoreage in the state of
Oregon. This information is desired
by the department in order to enable
it to issue frequent reports to growers
concerning the condition of the hop
crop throughout the United States,
and furnish a report on the total pro
duction. Foreign governments issue
similar reports, and both combined
will result in onr growers securing
official information on the subject.
Please fill out the enclosed postal oard
and be particular that the questions
are fully answered in detail.
As a large new acreage has been
set out during the past few years, and
growers' names being unfamiliar to
me. I will thank you to write me
their names and postofHce address,
so that I can send each one a card to
be filled out.
"Please ask your neighbors if they
have received a letter and card from
me, if not I will send them one on re
ceipt of request. "
With each letter there is a return
postal card, worded as follows :
Postofflce Or 1906.
Number of acres in hops
Number of bales grown in 1005
Land owned by
If hop yard is rented, give name of
renter or renters
Fill in names of growers in your vi
cinity who have planted hops since
the year 1904
Enriching the Soil.
Repeated experiment has proved
that the praotice of applying large
quantities of manure to the acre on a
limited spaoe, making it necessary to
leave much of the land unmanured.
does not pay. Many farmers never
apply less than 20 tons of stable ma
nure to the acre, saying that they
prefer to do well what they do and let
the remainder of the land take Ha
chances. Twenty tons of manure on
one acre, plowed nnder for a Spring
crop, makes the soil richer for years
no doubt about that but it will not
improve the productive power of a
farm nearly so much as the same
amount of manure used as a top dres
sing on three acres, provided clover is
grown with this supply of plant ford
It is poor farming to keep np a few
acres near the barn with the entire
supply of stable fertilizer and let thin
fields fail to make profitable crops.
Manural orops are the chief depend
ence on a majority of farms, or should
be, and enough farm manure should
be used to assist thin soil wherever
found, so that all fields may increase
their supply of vegotable matter and
be permanently improved, and then
any additional supply can te safely
nsed to enrich the pet field from
which one wants a banner crop. Ag

Gold Hill Franchise Defeated.
At the city council meeting Mon
day evening the application of Dr. C.
R. Ray for a street railway franchise
was defeated. Ho v. ever the decision of
the board was not final. There were
some objections to the formation of
tbe proposed ordinance and if a proper
one is submitted the council will not
defeat it. Gold Hill News.
