CHINATOWN IS IN IT.

By Journal of Progress

ONE of the first permanent buildings to be erected in the old Chinatown district is now well under way. It is a Class C, with pressed brick exterior and will comprise four stores and about fifty rooms for a lodging-house. The picturesque old hillside with its squalid tenements has been purged by fire, but the placid celestials will gather on the old site, in more conventional houses, and set up again their joss-houses and put out their cabalistic red paper and their crimson lanterns. We shall always have an oriental city in the heart of San Francisco.—Journal of Progress.
