There are other duties to perform, other taks before us, other problems to solve. The worjd needi the raao and woman of trae heart, clear brain, asd ready asd willing kaads is poHties, as in cv ery other walk of kfe.

The mglar soldiers are rendering excellent rerviee every where. They execute their orders with discretion and have done no barm, while it is believed that the militia have done much useless shoot inc. These j home guards do not know how to use discretion, aad carry out orders too hastily, it -s said they have shot peo p for rerr sliest offenses, which the rerulana would have overlooked. The dynamiting of buildings to stop toe fire and cWr away the debris is all done seder the direction of the reg ular soldiers. This work has caused oasiderable additional damage. For lastasce, the postofHee buildinzs and the mint, which were intact, have had all the windows shattered' out of them. The-e buildings are heavilr jruarded to protect the immense wealth within them. Another of the heartrending scenes was witnessed ia the residence portion, as families by the- hundreds were flee ing from the flames, and many left their bomes with their goods, and after going a few blocks put them down. Then they would be driven further and further, from block to block, and street to street, thus fleeing with their alL They would become exhausted and loe everything. Many of these later found their own homes unburned, but it was too late to recover their goods Many of these people would fall asleep from sheer exhaustion, with the flam creeping upon them. Thev would man aue to arone long enough to move awng another block, then sleep some more. In thee places wnmin nnrt children were again the greatest suf ferer. Many sighi-oers started in gather ing MMivenirs, but this, of course, wa's forbidden. When one would ask th soldiers "May we go this wayf" the reply would be, "Yes, but keep the miWe of the road, and don't pick) Ut ant-thin. " !( S .. n.

Colonel Page says he would not have mis-ed this trip for $1000, but that he would not repeat it for 310.000. and that the formidable enterprise and the true -western spirit will assert itself. and San Francisco will be rebuilt, a greater city than ever. He predicts many unforsen emergencies will arise wnieh will make the work doublv burdensome and expensive, f Saa Francisco is rebuilt, as many of its leading citizens say it will be, it will be the most modern city in- the world. Great uncertainty still prevails in the city, and the intense fear of the people is something terrible. The vast throsg seems to be of the opisioa that the city will be sank, or in some way annihilated, and every explosion from dynamite renews their fears.
