Little Loss of Population.
To ono fam11lar with . the crowds
that made Marl < et street and the for-
rles famous , there does not appear
to bo any diminution of population.
The car system Is whey ] ) Inadoquato.
although herculean efforts have becn
made to establish communication.
The ferries are as crowded as ever.
Theaters are filled to suffocation. The
St. Francis hotel put up a temporary
structure In Union squaro. and it Is
turning away a hundred guests dally.
Other hotels are fIed' ] ) and turning
people away , It requlre8 only a visit
to San Francisco to disprove the report -
port that the city has lost half Its
population.
The qualco shook the lICe out of
some old firms and has toned the birth
of many now ones. Dozens of store8
bear the names of men who were
clerks before April 18. Merchants
from other cities have stepped in and
established houses hore. Compotltion
Is l < eon , and money alJpOars to be
maI'o plentiful than for many years.
The scarcity of skilled and un.
skilled labor Is the chief drawbacl < to
rapid construction. Wages are exorbitantly -
orbitantly high , but this Is the fault
of contractors and proprietors rather
than of the labor unions. The plumb.
ors and statlonar ' englnecrs thought
they saw a chance to get rich quick ,
and raised their scale. but were not
sustained by the labor council , which

"City Beautiful" Must Wnlt.
There has been much talk .of a "city
beautiful , " with winding avenues
about the hills , broad boulevards. lJark
extensions , and so on. It was thought
that with the buildings leveled to
the ground the ollllortunity was open
for the construction of 11. model mod.
ern city. uniting utility and beauty to
0. degree never yet approached In
America. A lIttle study of the sit.
uatlon shows that this Is nothing but
a dream. San Francisco IJeoplo have
enough on their hands in the way of
getting Into business again , In any
shape , without tackling the great
task .of forming a city on aesthetic
lines. Hero and there a street may
be wldoned and a lIttle parle estab.
lIshod , but In the main there will bo
no attempt to reform the plans upon
which the city was built.
The railroads tormlnatlng at San
Francisco are amen ! ; the most potent
Corces In rebuilding the city. ' 1'hey
saved San Francisco Crom panic and
possible greater dlsastor during the
tlmo of stress by carrying away thou.

bringing In elllCl'gmlcy supplies.
After the crisis the railroads turned
