Santa Rosa After the Earthquake

Santa Rosa—the City of Roses—the capital of Sonoma County, is the worst sufferer of all. Fire followed earthquake and burned over a part of the town, but the fire loss was very small compared with the work of the earthquake. Brick buildings were shaken till not a semblance of a wall was left. Even small frame structures suffered the same fate. When we visited it May 1, the one hundred and second body had been taken out of the wreck, and others still were thought to be buried in the débris.
