OTHER TOWNS THAT SUFFERED.

ONE of the towns that suffered greatest in proportion to its size was Santa Rosa, with a population of 10,000. Reports from there state that nearly all buildings except residences and the railway depot are down flat, and fifty of the residences are also down. Fifty-eight dead have been reported as taken from the ruins, and it is believed there are many more still to be exhumed. Her financial loss is placed at $2,500,000.
Gilroy suffered in about the same proportion as did San Jose (see article in another column). Nearly all the large buildings on Monterey Street are down or wrecked. No lives lost; financial loss about $500,000.
Hollister was severely damaged, and 'three lost their lives there. Financial loss placed at $100,000.
Santa Cruz was seriously damaged, losing many of her best buildings, but no lives.
Petaluma suffered little.
Glenn Ellen, the Home for Feeble Minded, was terribly shaken by the earthquake; but none of the inmates were injured.
Sebastapol had one serious wreck.
Sacramento was damaged but little.
At Wrights the big railway tunnel is caved in, and large fissures and ridges were made.
Monterey was not seriously shaken.
Boulder Creek has not a chimney left standing, and destruction of property will amount to thousands of dollars.
Del Monte—all chimneys crashed through the roofs, and two persons, a bridal couple from Arizona, were killed, the bed on which they were sleeping being driven through two floors by a falling chimney.
Napa had forty buildings destroyed, and one death is reported. Financial loss, $50,000.
Salinas is reported to be about half ruined.
Santa Clara was very badly wrecked. Her loss will approximate $50,000.
Agnew's principal loss was the complete destruction of the great insane asylum located there, which contained 1,088 patients at the time, besides physicians, nurses, and attendants. Two physicians and, as near as can be ascertained, 110 inmates and attendants were killed.
Los Gatos was damaged to the extent of $30,000; and Morgan Hill about $5,000.
Alameda did not suffer so severely as her sister city Oakland (see another column). No lives were lost there. Her financial loss will reach $175,000.
In Mendocino County many large mills were injured and have been compelled to close down for repairs.
No damage is reported from Stockton, Fresno, Modesto, Bakersfield, Merced, San Luis Obispo, or Los Angeles.
