Thrilling Description of the Great Quake and Fire that Wiped out San Francisco. Personal Experience of W. S. Liven- . good and Family During the Trying Days of the Great Calamity. OAKLAND, CAL., May 1, 1906. [Last installment of Earthquake letter. Continued from last week.] AWFUL DESTRUCTION. I staid down town until I saw most of the great wholesale and retail busi- ness houses on both sides of Market street melt away. Nothing was able to withstand the furious onslaught of the flames. Although the wind was from the west, the fire gradually ate its way back from the water front, devouring everything in its way. The awful de- struction made one sick at heart. I I stayed close to the “firing line” till well into the afternoon, then returned to the Alcalde Hotel, which was still out of the fire zone, and carried away on my back another load of clothing from our rooms. Toward night I returned and gathered up another load, but by that time the flames were so close that it was not safe to return for more. Be- sides, my feet were so sore by this time, from tramping over the hot cobble stones, all day, that I could not have made any more trips. Our trunks and other belongings were left to their fate. The building was demolished by dyna= mite and then burned, scarcely one brick remaining on top of another after the fire had swept over it. PEOPLE FORSAKE HOUSES. The fire came so close to the first house of refuge we had sought, that my family and all of the relatives stam- peded and went over to the house of another relative on Masonic avenue, near the entrance to Golden Gate Park to spend the night, only Mr. Grant and I remaining at his house to keep watch through the night. All of our folks slept out on a vacant lot the first two nights of the quake and fire horror, being afraid to remain in doors. Almost the entire population of San Francisco camped in the open sir during the first few days of the dis- aster. even those whose houses were uninjured being afraid to occupy them. Fortunately the weather was fine, so there was no suffering on account of sleeping out doors. Not many slept, however, the excitement being too in- tense, and the conflagration too mag- nificent to miss seeing. The first night I watched the progrsss of the flames from the summit of Alamo Park, and the second night I had a still more magnificent view from Buena Vista heights. I will not try to describe the grandeur of the spectacle. Words fail to convey an idea of the oceans of flame spread out cver a surface nearly five square miles in extent, and leaping hundreds of feet over the tops of the tallest sky-scrapers. SCENES OF DESOLATION. I saw the devouring element en- wrap such great buildings as the Call, Chronicle, Mutual Saving Bank, New York Life, Mills, Merchants Exchange, Crock ~~, Flood, Phelan, Parrot, Shreve, Kohl and scores of other business blocks, costing anywhere form $300,000 to $3,000,000; the Palace, St. Francis and Fairmont Hotels ; the Hopkins Art Institute; the Stanford, Flood and Claus Spreckels mansions and hun- dreds of other stately residences, to say nothing of the acres and acres of humbler homes that melted away like stubble before a prairie fire. I saw Chinatown and many other historic landmarks that have made San Fran- cisco famous, completely wiped out. I have walked for miles and miles through the smoking ruins since the flames died out, and I can think of no more fitting term for the whole heart- rending scene, than the ‘abomination of desolation” spoken of somewhere in holy writ. I walked by the ruins of the City Hall the first Sunday night after the fire. The great dome which only a week before was ablaze with incandes- cent lights in honor of Gen. “Jim” Smith, the newly appointed Governor General of the Philippines, upon his re- turn home for the first time since the Spanish war, was now nothing but a dark misshapen ruin, looking ghostlike and sepulchral in the stilly gloom. Roundabout lay huge pillars of marble and slabs of granite, reminding one of the ruins of some ancient city of the old world. A deadly silence brooded over all, and one could almost fancy these were the time-worn remains of some ancient temple crumbled to pieces centuries ago. CITY WRAPPED IN GLOOM. " Since the fire the entire city is in darkness at night, all the eleetric light and gas plants having been destroyed, and the authorities permitting no fires or lights in any of the flueless houses. The city was under strict martial law and people were shot on the spot for exposing the remaining buildings to danger of conflagration by fooling with fire. All the cooking was, and is yet, being done out doors, as it will take weeks and even months to repair the damaged chimneys, and no fires will be permitted in any of them, until a rigid official inspection has been made as to their safety. About 300,000 people were left home- less, but the majority of these have been taken away gratis by the railroads, and are now refugees in other cities of California and beyond the borders of the State. About 50,000 are still camp- ed in the parks and streets, and among the ruins of their late homes. Relief funds and supplies for the destitute are pouring in by the millions and train and ship loads from all parts of the country, so that all the fire sufferers are being amply clothed and fed, for the time-being at least. Many are living better than they ever did before, and are having the time of their lives. RISING FROM THE ASHES, The walls of San Francisco only are cast down. The spirit of the argonauts which gave the city its birth “in the days of old, the days of gold. the days of 49,” is rampant, and a greater and more beautiful city will take the place of the one that has been destroyed. Already the work of rebuilding has be- gun. A better and stronger class of buildings will take the place of those destroyed. It has been demonstrated that steel and concrete construction is practically earthquake proof. The steel-framed sky-scrapers were scarcely injured by this temblor which was one of the severest shocks ever felt in any part of the world. Only the loosely constructed buildings of brick and stone were shaken down. Old frame buildings on rotten foundations collaps- ed, and others were wrecked by having tall chimneys crash through the roofs. A large part of the business portion of San Francisco was built on “made” ground, that is ground that was re- deemed from the bay by being filled in until it was raised above water level. It was on this “made” ground along the water front, that the damage by the earthquake was greatest. Evenin this more lasting than the losses inflicted by the fire. .A big fire in the long run usually proves to be a blessing, and that of San Francisco will hardly be an exception to the rule. All the old un- sightly and unsafe shacks are now swept away. The vile dens of China- town have been burned out, and as soon as the ruins are cleared away, a sightlier and healthier city will arise from the ashes. QUAKE HELPS OAKLAND. On Saturday, April 20, I crossed over to Oakland, so as to get in touch with the newspapers I was serving. My family joined me there on the follow- ing Wednesday, and we have since been staying with friends in Oakland and Berkeley. The earthquake was not nearly so severe on the east side of the bay. Beyond the toppling over of chimneys and here and there the col- lapsing of a poorly constructed wall, the damage was not great. Five people were burned to death in an Oakland tenement that collapsed and was set afire by a stove or lamp in the building. Otherwise there was no loss of life on this side of the bay. The people of Oakland and Berkeley have been most generous in their care of refugees from the stricken metropolis. Thousands are being fed and clothed here, and furnished with shelter. Many of the San Francisco business firms are leas- ing grounds or buildings hore, and temporarily resuming business. Many will remain here permanently. Oak- land and Berkeley are enjoying a reg- ular boom as the result of the influx of people who have been driven out of San Francisco and are now seeking homes and business locations on this side the bay. Oakland hopes to secure permanently a large part of the com- merse formerly transacted through the port of San Francisco. As a place of residence I, and nearly everybody else, prefers this side of the bay. THE EARTHQUAKE AREA. The damage done by the earthquake was confined to a comparatively small area,considering the severity of the shock. It was corfined chiefly to about seven counties, bordering on, or in close proximity, to San Francisco. Bay—Sonoma, Marin, Contra Costa, Alameda, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara. Outside of San Francisco the places which suffered most were Santa Rosa, San Jose and the Stanford University buildings at Palo Alto. There was heavy loss of life at Santa Rosa, the home of Luther Burbank, the great propagator of new species of fruit, vegetables, flowers and other plants, but the wizard of the vegetable kingdom escaped uninjured. Several dozen people were killed at San Jose, and many fine buildings were damaged. Stanford University suffer- ed a loss of about $5,000,000, many of its magnificent buildings being shatter- ed beyond repair. A State insane asylum at Agnews, near San Jose, was demolished, resulting in the death of many inmates and indescribable scenes of horror. Mild shocks were felt in distant parts of the State. At Los Angeles there was no damage whatever, and that city was the first to send relief. The quake brought my engagement with the San Francisco Chronicle to an end, after my contract was just two- thirds fulfilled. Thursday evening I start for Portland, Ore., with my family where I will do some special work for the Oregon Journal for one month, and then proceed to Seattle, where I have a contract with the Post-Intelligencer for the remainder of the summer. I could write you volumes of stuff about the great quake and fire, if I had time,jbut the foregoing must suffice. Yours fraternally, W. 8. LIvENGOOD.
