This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why a World Centre of Industry at San Francisco Bay Why should there be in time to come a World Industrial Centre upon the shores of San Francisco Bay? Because Nature has prepared for it, Progress ordains it, and History confirms it. Because among states and nations California has a unique individuality which is sure to find expression as the border lands of the Pacific unfold into the higher civilized life. Because wherever is situated the Centre of Industry there will be found the Centre of Empire. Because while the nations of Europe with their Atlantic traffic decline, the ports of the Pacific will rise into prominence under the impulse of superior development. Because World Supremacy may thus be placed within reach of the future occupants of the First Port of the Pacific. Because as the Orient and Occident here meet geographically, they should join hands commercially as well, products from East and West standing side by side as a World Commercial Clearing House. Because if the Centre of Industry on the Pacific is not established by the people of San Francisco Bay, others elsewhere will occupy the field, and thenceforward dominate the great ocean, both economically and politically.

The population of San Francisco, in 1870, had increased to of which number were native Americans, and were Chinese. There were new buildings erected during the year, still the market had not fully recovered from the panic of the preceding year, and the average monthly sales of real estate, which, in the first half of 1869, had been fell to in 1870. In 1871, '72, '73 and '74 the growth of the city was very rapid, and times were greatly improved. Work was begun on the Palace Hotel, a mammoth and costly structure, in 1874, and in 1875 the mining stock excitement, which had begun in the preceding summer, culminated. The Bank of California failed. W. C. Ralston, its Presi dent, met his death in the waters of the bay - a supposed case of suicide - and the Nevada Bank was established. The destruction of Virginia City, Nevada, by fire, also occurred during this year, the loss being felt in San Francisco, where much of the burned property was owned. Prosperity prevailed in 1876. The Baldwin Hotel, rivaled ionly by the Palace, was erected, and the Southern Pa cific Railroad was extended for a distance of several hundred miles, thus bring ing San Francisco into closer connection with the southern country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The City That Is: The Story of the Rebuilding of San Francisco in Three Years Inutile things. It is plain that there has come into modern mechanics a new method, its scope as remarkable as its speed of operation, which surpasses such feats as even a dreamer could lay to the credit of the blacksmith of the gods on Olympus. Vulcan has the solace of much good company, for the San Francisco achievement crowds back into his class the engineers of Babel, the pyramid builders, and a long line of wonder-workers in construction, each great enough in his own day.
