Merciless and unsatiable flames licking up remnants
proud city of Golden est, defying- all known strat
agems of professional fire fighters. People suffering
for food.
(Special Dispatches to the Daily Alaskan)
San Francisco, April 20 ? 10:45 a.m. ? San Francisco is,
no more. Three distinct, mercilessly unsatiable fires are lick
ing np the remnants of the former pround city of the Golden !
West. The raging flames defy dynamiting, back firing and
all the other strategems known to professional fire fighters.
Nothing but the complete obliteration of the famous old
city will satisfy the greed of the destroying fiend,
One of the fires has devastated Nob hill and is sweeping
easterly toward the water front and the Telegraph hill dis
trict, where it will meet the burned areajand must die
out.
The second coflagration is sweeping the mission. It has
cleaned everyting from the water front to Eighteenth street.
It is now working westward.
The third and most dangerous fire is in the western ;
section of the city, beyond Van Ness avenue, where it is
sweeping up the remainder of the residences in that part of j
the city. Firemen are bending every effort in this section.
Apparently' it will lick up everything through Richmond
until the open space a mile from Golden Gate entrance shall
be reached.
Over eighteen square miles of territory have been com
pletely devastated. All hope of checking the roaring
furnace has been abandoned.
There is not a single house in city that has not beeu de
serted.
The night just ended was a horrible one, yet the people
are entering the third day of the most awful conflagration
that has ever visited a modern city calmer. A certain,
grim stoicism has settled down on the masses. A determina
tion seems to have possessed every one to do his best and
take the consequences, whatever they might be, without
flinching.
Last night 300,000 men, women and children, former
wealthy and poor, society people and working men. those of
the best families and outcasts, slept on the ground in the
open air in Golden Gate park and on the beach at the Cliff
house and knew no caste or class,
The camp of homeless is in charge of Major McKeever.
