FRISCO SEEDSMEN'S LOSSES. 



A telegram from C. C. Morse & Co., 

 which was four days on the way, reached 

 the Eeview two days after last week's 

 issue had gone to press. It was as fol- 

 lows : 



All seed houses In San Francl.sco, including 

 our own, destroyed by fire. We have tempora- 

 nly opened at the old headquarters at Santa 

 Clara. Will re-establish ourselves at San Fran- 

 cisco In due season. Damaged here not seri- 

 ously; no loss of life in family or employees. 

 Request customers to duplicate mail sent to 

 San Francisco address. 



This was followed by a letter from 

 Lester L. Morse as follows: 



"Santa Clara, April 24, — As a result 

 of the earthquake on April 18 our prop- 

 erty and houses in Santa Clara and San 

 Jose were considerably damaged but not 

 ruined, and while our San Francisco 

 building withstood the earthquake with- 

 out damage, it burned to the ground on 

 Friday, April 20. 



"Our Mr. Ball got our books out of 

 the vault and has brought them safely
