-That the ferry-boat Oakland was saved
was due to/the quick action of Captain
John Leale, her roaster, In getting the big
boat out of the danger line. The steamer,
had been taking on oil for fuel, and all
hands except Andrew. Anderson, a deck
hand, who was swabbing . do wn and ; pu t-
Ung; things to rights,' had. retired for the
night. Anderson saw the sudden flash of
flre in the depot and gave the alarm.
Captain 'Leale hurried to tbe pilot-house
in his pajamas after getting the en
gineer's. department at work. ., There was
steam enough in the boilers to move the
boat, but bo fast did the fire spread that
In the big depot sheds were standing
forty-two passenger coaches, broad and
narrow gauge. These were licked up like
flrfder. "An" "of "the" massive timber work
of the new freight slip recently completed
to the north of the depot was destroyed.
A charred mass of embers, smoldering
piles and uprights r ,twisted iron and rails
in fantastic confusion mark the scene of
blackened ruins. A few tons of rails,
warped and heat-riven; a few battered
car trucks, the upperworks of which
burned and dropped into the bay, and a
few clusters of stumps of piles are all
that remain. - Wonder, it was that human
lives were |not sacrificed as well In the
rapid rush of. smoke, and flame that en
veloped the structures.

at the Alameda narrow
gauge depot of the Southern Pacific Com
pany swept out of existence five acrea of
buildings, piers and wharves and de-
Btroyed practically every vestige of the
big railroad properties at the western end
of the Alameda mole."^Wlth a wind blow
ing at gale pitch, nothing could with
stand the furious flames, which in an In
credibly short period wiped out nearly
$300,000 worth of. property. Including half
of the passenger rolling stock of the nar
row gauge local system.
WITH a swiftness and in
tensity that defied all
human effort, the flre
which broke out at 1:15
o'clock yesterday morning
There was a great deal of oil-soaked
woodwork about the buildings and slipa.
The new freight slip was built of creo
soted. material.
MANY COACHES DESTROYED.
There were ! thirty-two narrow-gauge
cars and sixteen broad-gauge coaches in
the depot .shed. Among- them, were two
parlor cars " and the better - part of the
narrow-gauge rolling stock for passenger
service. It \ was hard work \ yesterday
morning for Trainmaster A. H. Walker
to make up a train for the regular trip
to Santa Cruz. He had to substitute box
cars : for, use as baggage . carriers. >
The flre wipes out not only the old
structures, but .a large' amount of new
work is destroyed. Besides.. the new
freight slip, constructed at a cost of
$75,000, the company had completed a large
The railroad officials admit that they
are at a loss to account for the fire's
origin, but they- scout the idea of incen
diarism. ~
Yardmaster Wasgott, who was ,with
narrow-gauge engine No. 11, says the flre
started '• about 1:15 o'clock In the north
wing of the passenger slip, beyond the
depot. In a few moments the^'wind had
swept the flames into the.. depot and. by
2 o'clock, the whole structure was a mass
of . flames. The-* last locomotive, that
switched, out over the tracks that ex
tend over the plank wharr on the north
wing of: the passenger slip passed the
point where the fire started at 11:58, and
it is scarcely credible that a spark from
its smokestack would have caused a flre
that was not discovered till an hour and
fifteen minutes later.
the upper works were considerably
scorched.
The railroad, people are at a loss to find
a cause for the destructive, conflagration.
Several theories are afloat. It seems
pretty well ~ settled that the flre started
near the northeast corner of the depot,
or close to the new. freight slip. .Watch
man Stroemer thinks a lamp in a small
house- at the land approach to the freight
slip ekploded. Other railroad men believe
that sparks from a locomotive settled in
a dry nook in the timbering, being fanned
into flames by the high wind. Still others
attribute.lt to a cigar or cigarette stump
thrown carelessly into a corner and set
ting fire to rubbish. -
The big. depot was. erected in 1883. by
James G. Fair as the western terminus
of the South Pacific Coast Railroad. It
cost originally. $50,000. Since the property
passed into* the hands of the Southern
Paciflo Company the purchasers expend
ed | more than \ $100,000 ¦ In improvements,
aside from' the . new freight slips. . The
company,/ during the last., five years,! haa
built a stone . breakwater ' on the -south
side of the mole, and has filled in the old
trestle from Alameda Point to, the pier,
making solid ground for Its tracks the en
tire distance : to the ;- Government : • bulk
head line. This morning's fire: was stop
ped on the east .by. the; earth; fill. Every
thing west ''of that line was r swept away.
The burned depot was I a ; wooden " shell
like structure, 500 by 800 . feet ' in dimen

terior rendered it ah : easy prey taithe

The destruction of the terminal stops
the lecal narrow gauge traffic and throws
air of the burden of : the commuter pas
senger travel belonging to the narrow
gauge" from Alameda upon the broad
gauge system to the' Oakland mole. This
means more than 10,000 additional persona
to accommodate daily. J The company has
been sorely pressed in handling the or
dinary daily commuter travel of late.
As a result there was a congestion last
night at the broad gauge pier, that caused
great delay in the operation of trains.
The Alameda broad gauge trains .were
doubled in the" number of cars -and. the
v-ork thrown on that branch means heavy
burdens until the system can be relieved.

THE OAKLAND ESCAPES.
\ That first burst of flame caught the eye
of Night "Watchman J. W. " Stroemer.
Rushing to' the bunkhouse he 'awakened
the- sleepers "there and then 1 fought his
way through the suffocating smoke' and
liying i fragments of burning wood to ; the
slip where the Oakland waa moored. He
just 'managed to stagger on board when
he fell exhausted to the deck with hair
and clothes and -face blackened and
Iscorched by the flames. . ¦ . ¦ •
The shivering deckhands were still busy
making things snug and shipshape for
the night when a slight crash was heard,
followed by a flare of light on the north
ern arm of the passenger pier.- -Then
with bewildering swiftness a.~ great yellow
"quivering tongue ; of flame leaped high
into the blackness of the night, and
danced ' merrily shoreward, wrapping
a^out rafter, rail and planking . as it
went.* In an incredibly short space of
time the whole end of the pier was blaz
ing like some giant torch.s lighting up
land and sea for a mile around with the
brilliance, of day. •• %
Shortly before la. m. Oie Oakland had
been made fast in the slip and discharged
her few- belated , passengers, who were
speedily followed ashore by the cooks and
waiters of the commissary crew. These

Fugitives Tell of Their
Thrilling Escapes
From Fire's Wrath
Meanwhile 'work will proceed on the
freight slip at the end of the long Ala
meda mole. The north wing of the
freight slip was saved by the dashing
waves, whipped into fury by the high
wind. Engineer Farley says that within
thirty" days thls_ slip can be made ready
for temporary accommodation of passen
ger traffic. Temporary sheda will be built
to shelter the passengers and coaches
Freight will continue to be sent via the
Alameda Point slip. "While this work Is
under way- the rebuilding of the main de
pot will proceed with as great rapidity as

Farley promises that he will have the
Alameda Point slip ready for freight traf
fic by to-morrow night or Sunday morn
ing. A day or two more, at most, will
suffice to prepare the wharf there for the
safe handling of " passengers. '
The new depot will be much better adapted
to its purposes than the old one. There was
much more room'thari the traffic required, but
the arrangement was not what it should have
been for the convenience of the heavy passenger
travel. Though there will be temporary dis
comfort, people who travel via the Alameda
mole will in the end gain new comforts as a
result of the conflagration.
ENGINEER AT WORK ON FLANS
B. • A. Worthington, superintendent of
the coast division, in which U included
the narrow gauge line, was aroused soon
after the fire was discovered. He got
down to the freight x slips by an owl car
and took the first freight boat across the
bay. He remained -at the- scene of the
conflagration throughout the day, return
ing to his office at Third. and Townsend
streets late in the afternoon, when there
was nothing more to.be done on the Ala
meda side. -He at once went into confer
ence with Resident Engineer" Farley of
the coast division, .who will' have imme
diate charge of putting .in makeshifts to'
accommodate the : traffic "arid also the re
building of the slips and 'depot.
Engineer Farley went across to Ala
n:cda Point last night, and with the con
struction crews called In from .various
points on the line began "the reinforce
ment of the slips of the old landing there,
as it is planned that resumption of trafltc
on the Alameda lines shall be byVvay of
that superannuated slip. « -
¦ There were thirty-two .narrow gauge and- six
teen , broad, gauge passenger coaches burned. We
haven't the number of 'all of these yet, but I
have estimated their value at $140,0CU. The
value of the depet, ferry: 1 slips, wharfs, tracks,
offices, etc., destroyed, flouring on the basis
of what it, will cost to replace them, I place
at about the same amount — making a total of
fr<mi ?275,0C0 to $2S0,00O. • ¦ ¦'
,Our engineers were at work by 9. o'clock this
morning on plans for temporary structures and
makeshifts to take care or the freight snJ pas
senger traffic. Of necessity there will be con
siderable delay, for driving piles is slow work.
But just as soon as arrangements nave been
made to take care of the traffic at the nar
row gauge mole again work will be rushed on
the permanent structured necessary to replace
the property destroyed. There will be as' little
delay and inconvenience to the public as is
possible. • ' .' , • . • ¦ •••
'The narrow gauge coaches will be replaced
by bread gauge cars; and when the trains jfce
put. back on the .old schedules, the Alameda
locaig- will I be broad gauge. . • Fortunately we
have had orders in for new rolling stock in
order to convert the Alameda locals from nar
row Raugo to broad gauge, otherwise we would
be-"cohtronted by grave difficulties. Narrow
gjiuge coaches cannot be had. now at all, and
for that matter broad gauge coaches cannot bo
purchased. Our orders will be our salvation.
Those coache3 and some taken from various di
visions where they can be: spared will form a
sufficient equipment to take the place of the
burned rollinir stock.

Important Judgment in a
Southern Case.
RIVERSIDE, Nov. 20.— Judge Noyes
hcrided down an important decision to
day in the case of Robinson vs. Eberhardt
that directly or indirectly affects every
acre of so-called desert land ! in the
county.
The suit was brought to qulef title to
640 acres of land, which the defendant
claimed through a filing under the desert
land act. The plaintiff attempted to
"jump" the claims, alleging that the
lands are suitable for cultivation and not
distinctly desert land. Judgment Is -for
the defendant, the court holding that the
land in question Is not capable of culti
vation when it was to be reclaimed .be
fore it is arable. The land in dispute has
been sold for $32,000, the title being de
pendent on Judge Noyes* decision.

AN EASY WAY "
To Keep Well.
It is easy to keep well if we would only
observe each day a few simple rules of
health.
The all Important thing is to keep th»
stomach right and to do this it 13 not
necessary to diet or to follow a set rule
or. bill: of fare. Such pampering simply
makes a capricious appetite and a feeling
that certain, favorite articles of food must
be avoided.
Professor Wiechold gives pretty good
advice on this subject. He says: "I am 63
years old and have never had a serious
illness, and at the" same time my life has
been largely an indoor one, but I early
discovered that the way to keep healthy
was to keep a healthy stomach, not by
i eating bran crackers or dieting of any
sort; on the contrary. I always eat what
my appetite craves, but daily for the past
eight years VI have .made }t a practice
to take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal and I attribute
my robust" health for a man of my age
to the regular daily use of Stuart's Tab-
lets , .
"My rphysician first advised me to use
them because he said they were perfect-
ly harmless and were not a secret patent
medicine, but contained only the natural
digestives, peptones and diastase, and
after using them a few weeks I hava
never ceased to thank him for hia advice.
"I honestly believe the habit of taking
Stuart's' Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is
the real health habit, because their use
brings health to the sick and ailing 'and
preserves health to the well and strong."
Men and women past 50 years of ago
need a safe digestive after meals to in-
sure a perfect digestion and to ward off
disease and the safest, best known and
most widely used is Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
They are found In every well regulated
household from Maine to California and
in Great Britain and Australia are rapidly
pushing their way Into popular favor.
All druggists sell* Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, full sized packages, at 50 cents,
and for a weak stomach a 50 cent package
will often do $30 worth of good.
