GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF THE FIRE Dr. Hershkowitz Writes Relatives Here About the Awful Disaster Dr. Hershkowitz, brother of Mrs. Asher and Mrs. Falkenstein, who was in Anaheim a few weeks ago and is well known here, has written the following graphic description of the catastrophe: My heavy bed was thrown for a distance of two feet, and at the same time a heavy wardrobe was thrown across my bed, but by that time the shaking became so frightful that I was partly thrown and partly jumped out of bed; out I jumped through the open window upon the porch and another couple of jumps I stood in the garden, barefooted and in pajamas. The shaking had just ceased when it started again and I was thrown on my side against the fence; I was not injured. Then everything was quiet; I went inside and looked out of the window; everybody was in the middle of the street in their night clothes; later I went down Golden Gate avenue; there I counted 11 collapsed buildings and about 8 fires; I cannot give the exact numbers as being shaken up today by subsequent happenings. When we reached the top of Golden Gate avenue I looked back over the city and saw numerous fires, along the water front and all over the Mission. You could not count them for every few minutes smoke arose in different directions. After we had returned I walked down Geary street and found all the enormous buildings in such condition that they were ready to collapse at any moment. I walked around and saw hundreds of people wearing police stars; at about 11 a.m companies of regular infantry came on although I am a good walker march up the hills was a cork worst of all it gave me a ravenous petite—a condition entirely place when starvation is looking your face; I arrived all right; the ernoon the fire appeared there, 5 o'clock we all were out in the park; I managed to get ladies housed, but next morning could go home again, as there danger any more. We are not permitted to light dale at night; cooking is done street; you can therefore imagine kind of grub we get; best of all coffee. No saloons exist; liquef taken out of the stores and tha streets by soldiers by order Funston. Troops are arriving will be needed to prevent riots would arise after a short time. The nights are cold and fog result will be pulmonary disease phoid is sure to break out among campers. We have no running Citizens walking in the street compelled to work with spades, remove the debris. ANAHEIM SENDS SUPP As soon as it was learned San Francisco horror had attained proportions that people in the city were in want, the good p Anaheim set about to gather and supplies to be forwarded no Saturday evening a box car filled food and clothing was shipped for city to San Francisco. They bore a lengthy streamer pan Nemetz bearing the words: "San Francisco, from Anaheim, of supplies forwarded from Dix as follows: Dr Johnson mdse $5, Fred Mauer m Melrose mdse $4 50, J Hartung mdse Seale mdse $4, Mrs Strodthoff mdse Dunn mdse $2 20, Wm Berdrow n Bennerscheidt mdse $5, C G Sparki Mrs Kennedy mdse $1, H A Dickel Mrs Langenberger mdse $10, Cla mdse $1, Mrs L Boltz mdse $.45, M mdse $1, Mrs Schaffer (high school $5, Miss Eldridge mdse $5, Wm Gr happenings. When we reached the top of Golden Gate avenue I looked back over the city and saw numerous fires, along the water front and all over the Mission. You could not count them for every few minutes smoke arose in different directions. After we had returned I walked down Geary street and found all the enormous buildings in such condition that they were ready to collapse at any moment. I walked around and saw hundreds of people wearing police stars; at about 11 a.m companies of regular infantry came on a run from all directions from the Presidio and soon squadrons of cavalry at a trot; none had sabres but all had revolvers. Subsequent events showed they carried them for business, for whoever did not obey instantly were shot, and not alone by them but also by the police and militia. It was one of the best things they did, for after a number of people, mostly dark characters, were shot down everybody obeyed quickly any command given. Soon detonations were heard all over the city. The fire department could not handle the fires and were using dynamite. Water mains were broken by the earthquake; whole blocks were burning; in many places the earth had sunk 5 to 6 feet; by night the whole Mission, south San Francisco, about 150 blocks, was one immense roaring fire. The wounded and sick, about 700, were brought into the Mechanics pavilion but soon they had to be taken away as fire threatened the place. The Palace hotel took fire and the tall Call building was burning; then the fire spread rapidly; the Emporium went, Hale Bros., not to mention the buildings between them; the whole south side of Market street was ablaze; then the fire crossed to the north and the Mechanics' pavilion was gone; opposite, the city hall was in ruins, only the steel frame of the dome and the figure of Justice remained; up Turk street the fire went north, Larkin to the east, Market to the south, Van Ness to the west; 21 blocks being afire. There at 1 o'clock they got control of it and I thought I was safe and went home; but crossing O'Farrell street I saw the foot of that street ablaze; the north side of Market street aflame; and then I started taking my things to Pine street. The wholesale district, the banks, the insurance companies, the Merchants' Exchange, were all gone; Chinatown had disappeared and the fire started going west. Everybody moved; sick people were carried on the backs of the strong. With my suitcase I started my march west, 25 blocks up to Laventhal's, and with me 100,000 more; Throat Coughs Nemetz bearing the words: San Francisco, from Anaheim, of supplies forwarded from Dillas follows: Dr Johnson mdse$5, Fred Mauer mdse$4 50, J Hartung mdse$4, Seale mdse$4, Mrs Strodthoff mdse$2 20, Wm Berdrow mdnerscheldt mdse$5, C G Sparki Mrs Kennedy mdse$1, H A Dickel Mrs Langenberger mdse$10, Clam mdse$1, Mrs L Boltz mdse$.45, Mdnse$1, Mrs Schaffer (high school $5, Miss Eldridge mdse$5, Wm Grass$2, C A Marden mdse and eggs$5 30,canned goods, F C Spencer 1 ham mer mdse$5, R powers mdse$2 bx Mrs Fay 3 boxes oranges, Ladies edmdse$5, R Wisser mdse$4 35, F B $5 50, T J F Boege mdse$5, R R Rucream, J Everhardy 4 bx oranges.mdse$2 50, W Wuestoff mdse$2, mdse$2, J Long mdse$3, Wm Koni J E Valjean clothing, Fraternal A eggs, Neubauer sack peas, E Mich bedding, four sacks flour, five sack H Kroeger 2 bx fruit, F A Backs clothing, sausage; J Hayden bx worth salmon; Mrs Browning 11 c Brandenburg mdse$1, F Borth mdnBacks, potatoes and bread, Mrs Meland clothing, Mrs Eichler clothing,F Ruhman 3 cases fruit, Olive Msnacks flour, Mrs Scott bread, J Wbex clothing, W H spake clothing box clothing, J B Bard clothing,C oranges,Mrs Robinson lemons,j P ons and clothing,Mrs Gilman bread clothing,Miss Zeus bread,C Schin Mrs Knapp sundries,A A Mills clfruit Capt Williams bale of blank bread,Goble bread and dry goods,pere soup and bread,Mrs Neum and eggs,Mrs McCollum clothing,case of eggs,Mrs Steadman clothing pau mdse$1, Wm Gebert bread and Fuhrburg clothing,L Z Hunting roast beef,S Shevelyn,case tom Fischer rye bread and eggs,A H S canned salmon,Mrs Carr mdse$16 boxes fruitRev Haffen veal loaf10 pounds rice.Mrs Herper canned scott clothing,Mrs Wallop clothing clothing Dr Beebe 1 bx oranges,bx clothing.Eubanks sack clothin shoes,j B Orsbach mdse$2,F A Ba$1,Mrs Chambers mdse$2.

Her Kellogg, who is a specialist in ion and conservation of water made another report to the county companies in which he at the construction of the reservoir is not only entirely safe, but would be a very prosperous proposition.
