ing the use of the
Tribune plant and the Call and Chronicle issuing from the office of
the Oakland Herald. Two days later the Call secured the service of
the Oakland Enquirer plant. Meantime, on Friday, the Bulletin, after a
suspension of one day, made arrangements for the use in the afternoon
of the Oakland Herald equipment, and from these sources and under such
circumstances the San Francisco papers have been issuing.

Offices were hurriedly opened on Fillmore Street, which today is the
main thoroughfare of San Francisco, and from these headquarters the news
of the day as it is gathered is transmitted by means of automobiles and
ferry service to the Oakland shore.

There also were accepted such advertisements as had been offered. The
number of these was, perhaps, the best visual sign of the resurrection
of the new city. It was noted that in a fourteen-page paper printed
within two weeks after the fire by the Examiner there were over nine
pages of advertisements, and in a sixteen-page paper published by the
Chronicle at least fifty per cent. of its space was devoted to the same
end.

Many of the larger factories left unharmed were also quick to start
work. At the Union Iron Works 2,300 men were promptly employed, and the
management expected within a fortnight to have the full complement of
its force, nearly 4,000 men, engaged. No damage was done to the three
new warships being built at these works for the government, the cruisers
California and Milwaukee and the battleship South Dakota. The steamer
City of Puebla, which was sunk in the bay, has been raised and is being
repaired. Workmen are also engaged fixing the steamship Columbia, which
was turned on her side. The hulls of the new Hawaiian-American Steamship
Company's liners were pitched about four feet to the south, but were
uninjured and only need to be replaced in position.

As for the working people at large, those without funds for their own
support, abundant employment will quickly be provided for them in the
necessary work of clearing away the debris, thus opening the way to a
resumption of business and reducing the number requiring relief. The
ukase has already been issued that all able-bodied men needing aid must
go to work or leave the city.

This dictum of Chief of Police Dinan's will be strictly enforced. The
relief work and distribution of food and clothing are attracting a
certain element to the city which does not desire to labor, while some
