RESULTS OF TWO YEARS' WORK M miens la rested 1st Balldlag Mere Imposing Tbaa tke 014 Birst, tls Almost Rebaillt. In less than two years since scourged by disaster new San Francisco has risen above ths ruins of the old. All the terri tory swept by fire has not been rebuilt. Hers and there are gaps in the vista of reconstructed buildings, but enouih has been accomplished In a comparatively brief period to warrant the claim that the new city now is better, stronger, more Imposing and aggressive, hopeful and happy than at any time prior to the baleful morning; of April 18. 1906. In review of the work of rebuilding the city the San Francisco Call says, in part: $102,000,000 put Into steel, concrete and stone. $10,000,000 put into wood. 14.C0C building permits Issued since April, lc.000 new frame buildings. $100,000,000 raised right hero. $3,600,000 Issued by eastern institutions. That's not bad record for burned out city. It was made In less than two years, snd people are looking at it with wonder. For a while after the fire San Francisco had to talk a good deal to let the world know how she was getting along. - But she doesn't have to speak at all now. Her streets, crowded with class A buildings, do that for her. And they are eloquent ora tors. They tell mutely but graphically of newer, finer, solid, beautiful buildings which have taken the places of the old. ' Bigger aaa Better. Often, where bsnks, corporations and merchant firms have rebuilt on their old locations the only thing recognizable about them is their location; for buildings that before the fire had six storlea to their credit now tower twelve above the street. Certain reconstructed Buildings which were wont to overtop their fellows by half dozen stories are now overtopped them selves by new structural giants which seem to have sprung to life fullfledged. Dozens of architectural monstrosities have been supplanted by buildings so class ically beautiful in outline and design as to be constant delight to the eye. Every modern convenience has been installed; every possible need for the handling of Immense business Interests and for the fa cilitating of commerce has been foreseen and forestalled. Resolved to profit largely by her experience, the majority of the city'a new buildings are declared by archi tects and contractors earthquake proof and fireproof. Reinforced concrete, which, it is said, wilt stand a test of 2,300 degrees Fah relnhelt, haa been freely used In construct ing the new Ban Francisco, and hardly building old or new has not felt the Im petus of the city's new Influx of life and strives to meet her larger needs. And 11 thla la but Jieglnnlng. The city has only begun to show the real results of the magnificent labor commenced less than two years ago. The first yesr was prac tically spent In cleaning 'away the debris and preparing ths ground for Its reception of the millions of tons of steel and stone which laid the foundations of the new city. The second year results began . to , peer above ground, bair lhy"; were at the first sprouting ef -plant compared with the re sults that may burst forth upon the world In response to the continued ring of the hammer, and. the buzs of the saw. Th California Spirit. The pyramid of Cheops Is no longer the building wonder of the world. Mighty men built it. Generations, perhaps, were ex ponded In lta construction. In San Fran cisco mighty men have built. In something less than two years, a vast array of new building which. If piled together, would outclass Cheops as mountain outclasses s doorstep. In the construction of this stupendous monument to California spirit, courage and will, time has been annihil ated, ruin and disaster defied. In the very midst of hot and smoking ashes, when all the world stood aghast at what seemed the destruction of an entire city, plans for rebuilding were oonceived, rough sketches of the new homes of Industry made, stand ing on the ruins of the old, and contracts let for their execution. " No pigmy plans were these, either. They called for the building of steel frame, solidly walled and windowed structures ca pable of resisting even the titanic Impetus Cf second potential disaster. From all quarters of the world building material hastened toward ' leveled cliy. Masons, carpenters. stone cutters, bricklayers poured into the city In flood. San Fran C'sco became the labor center of the world. Elde by side, using the naia tools, anima ted by the same purpose, -labored an army pf workmen from everywhere. Wages such as were never known anywhere before were common. From $0 to $10 a day was the average stipend of a man who worked at any of thej building trades, but. even ! thla rate, he was often asked to work overtime on Sunday, and was paid $20 for that. The towering San Francisco pyra mid was built In less than two years, for, after the fire plans had to be drawn, and remodeled and materials obtained before work could begin. It Is said thnt at the sverage rate of building, malntaintd with few interruptions for two years, a building went up every forty-five minutes. Balldlag; for All Tlase. People visiting the city and aeelng ten, twelve and fourteen-story structures going up everywhere, woald shake their heads and say: "Why don't you "put up some small temporary buildings to fill the gaps in your streets, and in a few years replace them by something better?" To which the energetic Cailfornlan rosde reply: "No, sir; we're not building for today; we're buiidlng far all time, for we don't propose to be caught napping when our acond cata clysm. If it ever does, arrives." In tha ro cocatructlon of his city the Californlan struggled on magnificently In the face of unheard of difficulties. Never has a city risen' from the dubt of her debris Ilka this one. Never has any bjlldtng record cf ancient or modern Baby Ion equaled the unrivaled one made by the descendants of the men who bequeathed toeir unquencnaoie courage ana power of gayety under any and all circumstances which has proved Invaluable to their grand sons lit theae rebuilding years. Never have citizens danced so llghtheartedly on the grave of the old times, and turned to feast with the goddess of stone who ushered In the new. No city dwellers, save those of Ban Francisco car. walk through tha down town districts am) say: "Twenty-two months ago, sir, thla district was as level as floor, as regarded whole building left standing-. Look at It today. Tou can hardly at ths akyllna for the roofs. How la that for two yeara' workT Llsalalagt laartaafa. Frank M- Tracy, ths young theater owner and club man, waa secretly marrlad In Philadelphia to Miss Genevieve West, a New York society girl, after on of the quickest courtships on record. Mr. Tracy left Chicago three days before the wedd:ig, and, reaching Philadelphia, was Joined by Miss West. He took her to lurcheon, proposed after the first course, waa accepted before tha second arrived, nd left the restaurant to look for a minis ter without waiting for ny more courses. The Rer. O. Roland Hill waa asked by telephone to meet them at the home of Walte Bllven, 1018 Farrabu terrace, friend of Tracy's, and fter hurried trip to the city hall for a license they wera married. They caught trln for New Tork follow ing the ceremony nd left for Europe on their honeymoon. MOTORS CROWDING THE HORSE Trial Test of Coat af Motor and Horse Delivery Systems la M llweak.ee. A month ago an enterprising Milwaukee desler attempted to convince department store proprietor of that city of tha wisdom of establishing motor delivery system. Realising the natural antipathy that seems to exist against automobiles generally In Milwaukee, the salesman decided to make demonstration that would be bound to sell Ms car. Accordingly cr was em ployed for this purpose for four days and the figures produced sold cars. The car employed was the four-cylinder, twenty horse-power type, and had ca pacity of 1.500 pounds, with possible speed of fifteen miles per hour. The first day this car was put In operation three wagons were displaced, and in total time of three hours 210 parcels were delivered. To accomplish this three gallons of gaso line was consumed, and one and half pints of oil used. The second day trip generally made, by three wagons was taken, and In three hours and forty-five minutes 155 parcels were delivered, which required the consumption of two pints of oil. Continuing to take off wagons, trip was made on the fourth day that displaced four horse-drawn vehicles, and 439 parcels wera delivered in four hours and forty five minutes. The consumption of fuel on this trip was also remarkably light, and but four and half gallons were con sumed, while lubrication required two pints of oIL ' After completing this experiment the salesman and merchant figured up the comparative cost, and the following table shows comprehensively that the merchant waa won over to the cause of tha auto mobile: Cost of motor1 vehicle complete.... $1,800 Gasoline and oil $ 17 R2 Driver's wages 60.00 Battery snd repairs.. 6.oo Tire wear 6.00 Total Cost of throe wagons Cost of three ' horses Harness Total Board, stabling, and shoeing horses $ 78.00 Wages, three drivere..... 150.00 Repairs, etc 15.00 875 Total Motor car cost .$240. "0 . 8S.00 Saving per month ' $161.18 These figures show as summary that for an additional expenditure of 3?3 a saving of $150 per month was accomplished. The estimate upon the cost of shoeing, feeding, and othera-ise caring for each horse haa been estimated at $25 per month, when in reality at present prices of grain this figure would be greatly Increased. No account Is taken either of the possible Illness of horses and the consequent ex pensive veterinary feea. Another Illustration of the practicability of the commercial motor vehicle was shown by an express delivery company of In dianapolis. This company ', has Just in stalled six gasoline one and one-half ton trucks to take - tha placs 'of .' fifteen delivery wagons and twenty-two horses. The company operates a parcel delivery service almost exclusively, although some general transfer work Is done. 8uch ser vice, of course, requires that large num ber of small packages be delivered , as quickly as possible, the tariff on each package being small. Thoroughly satis factory service has not been obtained with horses because It requires too much time to deliver few packages. Tests have shown that six motor trucks can do the work of fifteen horse-drawn wagona with out much difficulty. Instead of training its old drivers for truck service, the company haa found It more practical to employ experienced chauffeurs at $15 a week and place a sec ond man on each truck for deliveries. The trucks are kept in public garage at $20 each per month, under mainte nance contract. This gusranteea that should truck break down enroute an other will be sent at once to take its place. The caving over horse drawn wagona Is estimated at $300 per month. Chlcsgo Inter cenn. MOTORING 0N THE FARM Blgr Machlaes for Crest Work aad Raaaboata for Galas; to Market. The saving effected by the modern pow erful gasolene engine on 'the farm is esti mated to be from 20 to 60 per cent over horse, man or steam power. When not running the engine Is not con suming fuel and Its keep through the win ter when in storage la nothing. It does not eat Its head off and It takes very little storage space. Manufacturers have made special lines of farm 'engines In various sixes, ranging from five to 100 horsepower, both for sta tionary work and portable use. Upward of 60.000 such engines have been sold to American farmers In the last two years and the demand for the present year will exceed any past record. There is a gasoline farm engine adapted for dragging heavy gangs of plowa across long fields, followed by harrows, culti vators, seeders and harvesters. In fact, the land can be tilled, planted and the crops harvested with machine of this sort without the aid of a single horse and with very little hired help. In the great northwest the portable gaso lene threshing outfits are conspicuous fea tures at tho harvest season. They ar much lighter than the old steam threshing plants, ar self-propelling and on rubber tires, so that they can be run easily and quickly from farm to farm. The farm help problem Is thus being partly aolved in the great northwest. Even In the new northwest of Canada scores of these machines have been put In opera tion in the last year. The great wheat crop could not b harvested and threshed with out such appliances. The gaaolene motor is no less important In marketing products. Ths modern tour ing cars and runabouts sold to farmers ar for utility first and pleasure after ward. By) their -aid ona farmer says that he realized $300 more In on season for his articles than If ha had sold them In the old way. taking the market prices as they varied from day to day. Another farmer having a lot of fancy poultry mad la one trip $75 more than the regular profits through nuhlng load to market during day of high prices. Tha farmers' wives and daughtera bav learned to operate th machlaes and It is not unusual to see them peddling farm produce from automobile in many of th western town and cities. Some of them run in from ten to twenty miles and sell their produce befor noon and get back again In th early afternoon. Us Be Want Ads to boost your business. HERDING WEDDING GUESTS Boss of the Show Divided the Sheep from the Goats. ONE OF THE JOES OF HEAD USHER Asked by tk Bride ta Help Oat, He Baceeeded Ja Maklast Tkoaa Se rially Prosnlneat Cera- . fartabl. NEW YORK, April 4. "Ther Is more un certainty In New Tork about the ushers and bridesmaids at a wedding than there Is about anything else," said social authority who was discussing this matter, "for one can never tell who will be chosen. There used to be an old theory that tho man selected his best friends and the girl followed the same system when it cam to picking out her attendants. That good old way of doing business has no hold now. "I havo known cases In which th bride has insisted that every usher shall be taken from her friends because she likes the looks of their names best. Then I have known bridegrooms to be just aa insistent to have the bride surrounded by only tho girls that he and his sister and family know and have known. "To show how far there may be a di vision between th bride and tho bride groom to the guests of honor, I'll tell you little story of wedding that re cently took place. The bride waa stranger In New York. So waa th bride groom, who came from Europe. On the morning' of th wedding, which was set down for noon, relative of the bride called up on the telephone man well known in society here and in Paris. " 'I want you to come early to the house,' she told him, 'end act, well, act as sort of master of ceremonies, as It were,' l Against It Bight. "H could not have been more astonished If ha had been invited to be th brido groom. 'You know everybody la coming,' she Insisted, when no voice dame back over the telephone, 'and we ar strangers to many of th New Yorkers. So you see you will be doing us a great favor.' " 'But what am I to do?' he asked. I am not an usher. What will they do?' "They were foreigners In part, was the answer, and besides the others didn't know perhaps what should be done. Wouldn't he com dowsj and help her oat? 'You let me see If 1 can find two friends who will help me," he asked. "Are you willing for m to bring them?' "She was. Any two friends of his taking part lnthe wedding were certain to add to lta social lustre. " 'Well, you give me half an hour and til telephone If 1 can find two who will help ma out.' "He did succeed In finding two young men who were free and could go along with him. There .were as familiar with New York life In certain exalted social phases as he and proved admirable assist ants In his work. 'The house In which the wedding and the reception was held," went on the social observer, "was divided Into a large and small drawing room and small hall.x It was decided to keep the hall clear In order to allow some sort of passage to the dining room at th back of the house. Near tho main door stood the social master of cere monies who St Tammany ball would have bipen 4lled.'th fkor rrinager. He and his assistants kept theif -fcyes open 'for the arrival of certain persons who were well known In New York ' society.- There were not so many of these that they could af ford to be overlooked In the general gath ering. It soon became apparent on what system the master of ceremonies was act ing. The ushers made no attempt what ever to Interfere. They contented them aelves after the ceremony with taking up a faw persons to meet the bride. Work Well Dose. "The master of ceremonies with his two aides stood near the door carefully scan ning thjs face of everybody that entered. Those who were known to them and there were only th New Yorkers' that they could recogT. lie were escorted Into th large drawing room. The other unknowns and they were Incidentally the life long frlenda of the family who had Journeyed here from the various parts of the country to be present at the wedding were all directed to . the smaller drawing room. Among these friends of the family were also a number of New Yorkers who did not, however, happen to be known by name or sight to the little executive committee In charge of the social arrangements. So they were directed Into tha smaller room along with the other unknowns. "Gradually the crowd there grew ao large that women were pushed against the walls and men found their shoes the rest ing places for the overcrowded guests. In vain were there suggestions that It might be better not to send any more into that room. The master of ceremonies with the haughtiness of conductor telling the pas sengers in an overcrowded trolley to step forward continued to direct strsngers Into th room. The larger drawing room was but comfortably filled and the ventilation was excellent In comparison with the stifling atmosphere of the small room. "There the guests remained until th ceremony was over. Then followed the congratulations for the bride. Before the door of the small drawing room the mas ter of ceremonies stationed his two aids. They were 4o hold back the Intimate friends of the family until the New York continent had been allowed to pass leis urely and without crowding before the newly married parr and then on into the dining room. When this wing of the guests waa comfortably out of the way the mas ter of ceremonies appepared at the door of the small room as an indication that lta wilted and crushed occupants might now proceed to the dining room. "But they were not to enjoy this privilege with the same freedom that the other guests did. Th master of ceremonies wss going to show them thst it was their business to be born In New York. He Im pressed this on the guests by stepping to the door and calling out: 'You ar re quested to speak to the bride for not more than a minute and then move rapidly to the dining room.' "Then th old friends of childhood passed along to meet the bride they had Journeyed ao far to congratulate on- her wedding day. Perhaps the spirit had been taksn out of them a little bit and they were a rather crushed looking lot from their long confinement In th crowded room. But everybody said the wedding had been wonderfully managed and these visitors thought they were victim of th New York system." Aged ladlaas Marry. eiOUX FALLS, 8. D..
