FROM SAN FRANCISCO 
A. G. Monteiro Writes of the Great Catastrophe 
—Mechanics of all Classes Much in Demand 
OAKLAND, CAL., May 7, 1906. 
Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
It isn’t my intention to give you 
much of a description of the great 
catastrophe which has befallen San 
Francisco and many of its surrounding 
cities and towns, as most facts are 
now well known in the East.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Oakland, being only a few miles 
across the bay from ‘“Frisco,’’ can 
consider itself mighty lucky, the dam- 
age done by the quake being compar- 
atively small. It is calculated that 
$2,000,000 will cover it. 
It is an old saying that it is an ill 
wind that does not blow some one 
some good. This is true now, as far 
as Oakland is concerned. The future 
prospects of this city are now better 
than ever before. Every house here- 
abouts is let, and more are being built 
as fast as possible in order to accom- 
modate the large number of people 
who are expected to make their 
homes here. 
This is owing to the fact that a 
large number of old San Francisco 
firms are locating here permanently. 
Factory sights are in great demand. 
It is expected that the population will 
more than treble in the next six 
months. 
While San Francisco is being re- 
built, Oakland will naturally avail 
itself of all the opportunities to grow. 
Mechanics of all classes are now 
wanted. 
Those who had intended to come 
out here and may now be afraid, on 
account of the earthduake, should con- 
sider that their chances are now better 
than ever. As far as earthquakes are 
concerned, scientists seem to be of 
the opinion that we are now more 
exempt from a repetition of the great 
shock than any part of the country.

N, S. Horticultural Society 
At the regular meeting of the 
North Shore Horticultural society last 
Friday evening, May 4th, the subject 
for discussion was ‘Tree pruning.” 
The discussion was opened by Wm. 
Till, who made a very good address, 
treating the subject from a scientific 
as well as a practical standpoint. He 
described the growth of a tree in its 
different stages,—seedling, sapling and 
finally the tree itself and its relation 
to human life, its manner of growth 
and its food,— the latter derived from 
the atmosphere as well as from the 
soil. 
At the next meeting, May 18, the 
same subject will be taken up again. 
Mr. Till will open the subject, and 
the discussion will be general.
