262 REPORT OF THE CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE COMMISSION. 
On the Azule Springs road, all the 1-story buildings appeared to be in good condition, 
and few effects of the shock were noticeable. Near the place where five roads fork, one 
mile north of Azule Springs on the road running southeast from the forks, there was a 
6-foot drop on the road caused by a section sinking in a solid piece on a long slope, without 
~ much disturbance in its vicinity. At the cross-roads halfway between Saratoga and West 
Side, the Lincoln school-house, on wooden supports, was thrown from its foundation and 
badly damaged. ‘The tank behind the school-house was standing, as were all the tanks 
on the road from Saratoga to West Side except the one nearest the latter village. Only 
one more effect of the shock was noted in this vicinity; namely, the bridge over Stevens 
Creek, on the road running due east and west from West Side, was rendered unsafe for 
horses by being shoved a foot out of place. 
On the Stevens Creek road, just after leaving the Saratoga road, one house near the 
junction of the two roads was shaken and dishes were broken, but the brick chimney 
was intact. Near the house a crack 2 inches wide showed a downthrow of 2 inches on the 
west side. A vacant house at the next turn, 0.5 mile southeast of Stevens Creek, had lost 
its chimney and leaned with the slope of the hill. Near this house a large area of ground, 
extending for 150 feet, had been torn up in a direction of N. 3° W., and a slide formed 
which almost blocked the road. 
At the Borger place on the Stevens Creek road, the chimney was shaken down; the 
house, which stands on a high but well-built stone foundation, was not damaged otherwise. 
Wine was spilt in the cellar by the force of the shock. Further northwest along this road 
other disturbances were noted with increasing frequency; small cracks crost the road due 
north and south. 
On the northeast side of the creek, 0.25 mile south of the place where a road turns 
northeast from the Stevens Creek road to go up Monte Bello ridge, there was a large 
landslide about 0.5 mile long and terraced from the top of the mountain. 
The short road.which runs northwest along Stevens Creek for a couple of miles beyond 
the junction with the cross-road which connects with the Monte Bello ridge showed an 
exposure of serpentine with cracks running along it N. 3° W. The cracks at the widest 
point measured about one foot. In the serpentine area the ground was badly broken up, 
and in one place it was covered with 3 feet of water. (Observation made April 22-23.) 
Following the road northwest beyond the terminus shown in the map, many cracks were 
seen, due to big landslides. Fallen trees have rendered the road impassable; boulders 
and dead trees still fell occasionally; even while the observer was there a large tree fell 
not 10 feet from him, loosening rocks and soil. 
Just south of the two houses near the southern end of the cross-road leading toward 
the Monte Bello road from the Stevens Creek road, a break ran due east and west; it was 
2 inches wide with a downthrow of 0.25 inch on the west side. Only dishes were broken 
in the house, a 1-story frame structure without chimneys, tho it stands above the big 
slide which was just mentioned. Another crack 4 inches wide was found in the road above 
the house. 
The village of Congress Springs had not been shaken very badly. All water-pipes 
and tanks were intact and very little timber seemed to have fallen. The car tracks on 
the curve near the path to the spring had been thrown over toward the bank for about 20 
feet of the curve, a 4-inch displacement resulting. The 2-story stone building of the 
Saratoga Wine Company was partially thrown down, and the side nearest the road had to 
be propt up to keep it from falling.. At this point several cracks were noticed in the loose 
alluvial material of the road, almost at right angles to each other. 
Stanford University to Portola and Woodside (S. Taber). — Going southwest from 
Stanford University along the road leading up San Francisquito Creek (at 8, map No. 22), 
- on the banks of the creek many dead limbs were broken from trees, and a dead oak
