The gnake was so violent that n,it;es orrailway sunk into 'the ground, the water meins were destroyed and im- mense building shook and fell intoa mass of ruins. • Fire' then broke out in •many places and there being no water tei fight the flames theyspread rapidly tin Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday' uiatil three- quarters of the city was a heap ot. ashes, and the financial loss between. $200,000.000 and $300,000,000. The rich and poor alike were forced to flee to the parks•and suburbs of the city where for days .they 'have been encamped in the open; with no water„ and forced to sleep in many cases upon the ground., Everything that was• possible was done to stay. the progressof the flames whole blocks of residences being blown up, but without avail until Friday night, when it. was ennonnced that one quarter of the city would be saved. The authorities succeeded inkeeping comparatively. good order in. the otty by proclaiming martial law and sheet- ing down atll who • sought to rob such places as aliglit contain . money_.. or stores. , Then the problem betaine • "How to feed the 300,000 who are without any- thing to eat or drink. .Appeals were made to Oakland and all the neighbor- ing cities for food, distributing stations were established, railways carried sup- plies free of charge.. But all this'took time, and:many hours and even days passed daring which the 'vast crowd of pecple were _practically. without drink or food. During it all the .people retrained calm and quiet, as though they failed to recognize the fearful cnlautity that had befallen there, and the city roan- til and military authorities worked earnestly and diligently to bring order out of chaos. • A11 the great cities of the union ral- lied to the help of tb.• suffering; send- ing trainloads of provisions and large. sump of znoriey; N,et;• York lies given over $3,000.000, the U.

A large number of Canadians were residents of the ruined city and until Saturday no word could be received -from thein owing to the• telegraph lines being busy with messages of more importance. Since then however many have been heard from. Over 100 patients were killed by the collapse of an asylum at Santa Clara. The work .of -clearing up "the street, recovering the bodies of the dead and feeding the thousands who are camp- ing in the suburbs of the city, is pro- ceeding apace. The postoffice resum- ed work on. Saturday and letters are sent free of charge. • The order maintained under the cir- cutnstauces is most remarkable. It is probably due to the fact that any at- tempt at lawlessness was punished by death. The total estimate of insurance com- panies' losses is $225,000,000.

People with money to spare should look into the matter and if you find it an investment that would be advisable take a few shares. Already those who have taken up the matter have secured promises suffici- ent to show that the whole amount necessary will be subscribed. The canning business is not in its infancy. It is known to he a money-maker. There is no better district in Canada to grow the materials needed than right here.
