■
Thia Can Be Replaced Within a
Few Weeks and the Road
Will Be Ruatoed.
The report that the Fan Francisco dis
aster would delay the construction of
the California Northeastern railroad
and possibly prevent Ha completion in
to Klamath Falla Ixrfore next March
gained such headway and received so
much credence in thia city, that the Re
publican, on learning that President
Naftzger was at Bovee’s ranch, cam-
municated with him over the telephone.
When asked aa to what foundation
the rumor hail, Mr. Nzftzger replied
most emphatically.
“Absolutely and positively no foun
dation at all. The only delay or inter-
ferience with the rapid construction and
prompt completion of the California
Northeastern will tie duo to replacing
the equipment and supplies of the con-
tractors which were destroyed in San
Francisco. This delay will be very
.light-not more than a few weeks, and
after they are replaced the work will

be pushed with so much energy that by
the time we reach Klamath Falla tbe
|,^, wji| probably be mure than made
up.”
“Will the unsettled conditions pro
duce. 1 by the financial losses sustained
bv all classes in San Francisco have any
. effect on your other plans"'
“None whatever," replied Mr. Nafts-
ger. "The calamity is so great and the
shock ao severe that it has affected every
1 portion of the coast. Thia is not due so
much to financial stringency as to the
fact that the people of the entire Pa-
i citic coast have been etunned by the
magnitude of the horror.
"Conditions are rapidly adjusting them-
selves, however, and before long there
will be greater industrial activity than
the Pacific coast has ever known before.
' San Francisco will rise from its ruins in
greater splendor than before ita distrac
tion and when the plan < for ita re-con
struction are carried out it will lx» one
of the most beautiful cities in the world.
"As I said, we are going to go right
ahead with all of our plana, and the only
delay, if any, will lw due to our inabili.
ty to promptly procure such material aa
is absolutely neveasaiy for their con
summation.”
Mr. Naftzger, like so many thousand
of other citizens, hwt heavily. His home
waa destroyed, and what few effects he
saved was only accomplished after mov-
ing them from one point to another five
different times. Great as waa his Issa
and the ordeal through which he passed,
it waa easily discernible from the force
of hie remarks that he haa the utmost
confidence in the future oi Nan Francis
co. Ilia confidence is the same as that
<>f every business man in the Bay City,
and where men of such sterling quali
ties stand shoulder to shoulder, it can
have only one effect—the tip- building of
a greater and grander metropolis on
