CALIFORNIA'S NEED - THEIIt
COUNTRY'S OBLIGATION
("*
The disaster which has overtake!
San Frauclsco and California is so ap
palling that words concerning it except
to tell what has occurred are {utile
things. It is awful beyond description
or comprension. The stricken people
are in dire need of the millions the
American people are contributing in
their behalf.
Money spent toward relieving the
suffering at San Francisco is well in
Tested. It is charity worth while.
The steps taken by the government for
the distribution of relief have been
such that much can be distributed al
most as quickly and as effectively as a
little, so that the money new being
raised will nearly all reach its destina
tion. It is different than has been the
case with much of the funds contributed
for charities In distant lands.
C These California men and women,
boys and girls, whose need is the obli
gation of their fellow countrymen,
deserve well of Americans. They are
of our blood and race; they have con
tributed much to every worthy achiev
ment of their country, and their hands
have gone deep into their pockets when
others suffered. All who can do so
should asssist them.
THE ARCTIC BROTHERHOOD
The (act that the Arctic Brotherhood
of this city is to eattrtain Skagwayans
Tuesday evening of next week upon the
occasion of the installation of its new];
elected officers recalls that the order is
one of the institutions which is
thoroughly identified with the develop
ment of Alasica. It vai established
with the very inception of the move
ment which has caused development to
expand beyond settlement days and to
take up the practical utilization of the
resources of the whole district. In
fact it has more than a little to do with
that expansion. Nothing else is more
generally associated with all that is
best in Alaska in the minds of the
people than is this purely Alaskan
order.
Alask%ps have cause to be proud of
the Arctic Brotherhood and their pride
should be such as to keep it flourishing
as flourished the green bay tree.
In this connection it is worth while
to remember that the Arctic Brother
hood had its birth in this city, and that
Camp Skagway is No. 1. Local pride
should induce our citizens to make
Camp Skagway worthy of first place in
this very worthy order.

Yesterday's !
Late Story
San Francisco, Aprill 20.-6:15, p. m. j
The fire is dying out in Che Mission j
district for lack of anything on
which to feed, and it is being extin
guished in the western residence dis
trict. A gunner of the navy from Mare
island, an expert In the use of ex
plosives, has been blowing out build
ings with gun cotton and proved him
self the master of the situation. With
the aid of two small streams of water
that became available about 5 o'clock
he has stayed the progress of the
flames.
The only serious fire now burning is
that extending from the Nob hill
section to the northwestern water j
front, A larpe force of men are work- '
Ing there and they hope to check the ,
fire before all shall have been con
sumed.
The situation is indescribable. It
will be several days before any connect
ed statement of the losses or any accu
rate list of the dead can be obtained.
Two more men were shot this after
noon, Policeman Flood was returning
home and found a man looting a house, ;
Be killed him. The other was killed
by soldiers. This summary punishment j
of thieves is striking terror to the
hearts of criminals. Good order pre- ;
vails.
The Market Street Bank is the only j
one standing.
Teamsters are charging $50 an hour.
Oakland bakers met this afternoon |
and voted unanimously to send bread to j
San Francisco at five cents a loaf. It will j
put an end to the SI a loaf traffic that !
has been going on all day at the hastily
erected bakeries in this city.
The assistant sub-treasurer and a
deputy are missing. It is feared they
are dead. Troops are guarding the
ruined treasury vaults, which seem to
be intact.
Rich men are being impressed into
the working force and are laboring
along side of skilled and unskilled
laborers, in the effort to check ihe
flames.
The dead are being collected by the
authorities. Many were buried at the
Presidio at four o'clock this afternoon,
Others will be buried tonight and to
morrow morning.
San Francisco, April 20,- 6:15 p. m.?
The burned area at 6 p. m. yesterday,
as nearly as can be given, is up Broad
way to Mason, thence to California,
thence to Jones, thence to Golden Gate
avenue, along Golden Gate to Filmore,
thence south to Market street, thence
along irregular lines to Valencia and
Twenty sixth streets, thence along ir
regular lines east to the bay, taking all
south of Market street. This has been
largely increased today in the western
portion of the town, the Mission and
other resident sections. It is impossible
at this hour to define the limits of the
ruins. It is saM that about one-fourth
of the city, all in the resident section,
is standing.
Loss oi Insane
Not so Great
Oakland, April 20?6 d- m.? Only 13

Agnew's asylum for the insane. Two
