By Editor

Will our correspondents be especially patient? We are swamped with work, and the ring of hammer and trowel are going on on every side, while the cool breezes blow through yet unrepaired walls. We are doing almost the best that is in us to meet the situation. Our friends, we are sure, would not have us utterly exhausted by the effort, tho we have been pretty near it. But God is good, weather is pleasant, and every one is working hard and willingly.
Blessings and Losses to Our Sanitarium.—From Brother L. M. Bowen we have this note:
Please announce through the columns of your paper that the St. Helena Sanitarium is practically uninjured by the late earthquake, and we are receiving patients as usual. The Food Factory also escaped unharmed.
Our work in San Francisco was totally destroyed. The extent of our loss will depend upon the ability of the insurance companies to meet their obligations. San Francisco, San Jose, and Santa Rosa suffered very severely and will have to be practically rebuilt. Yours in the work, L. M. BOWEN.
Views of the Earthquake.—Of course we knew, as soon as we thought of it, that friends throughout the East would be glad to get good views of the earthquake. We decided, therefore, at the time of our last issue as the "Earthquake Special" was going to press at 1 A. M. to print on fine paper some of the best views we had obtained of the results of the earthquake, with description of the same. These are now in preparation. There will be more than forty half-tone reproductions, on fine paper, of San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Stanford University, and Mountain View. This will include reproductions from the original signatures of three California earthquakes, or seismographic records. The price is twenty-five cents, post free. Address, Pacific Press, Mountain View, Cal.
The paper used in this issue is not, as our readers will readily discern, regular stock. Why?
