t.u v'.vora as rocking aad -swaying tho
but.: ess center of Santa Barbara as
if It - '. re on a turbulent ocean, early
today left the principal structures of
the channel city a mass bf debris and
ruins, 'rtie loss of life was not large,
due to the tremor occurring at 6:44
o'clock in the morning and also that
the maBS of ruins fell lit the second
earthquake, some fifteen minutes af
ter the first tremor.
Estimates of the loss vary from
93,000,000, a "conservative" figure by
the city manager, to 930,000,000, a flg
uie quoted by the city engineer.
Deien Lives Lost
Indications are that twelve lives
were lost although this rests upon the
recovery of several bodies asserted to
be in the ruins.
Mrs. Charles E. Perkins, widow ol
the late railroad wizard, former pres
ident of the Chicago, Burlington and
Qulncy, was declared to be burled In
the ruins of a section of the Arling
ton hotel.
Manager A. L. Richmond said thai
he did not have the slightest hope that
she escaped and the debris was being
removed to uncover the body. Mana
ger Richmond also believed that Ber
tram B. Hancock, of Los Angeles was
killed, his room having been above
Mrs. Perkins and demolished.
State street, the main thoroughfare
Is a ghastly affair of ruin,"portions ol
its most stately buildings being tum
bled down, and cornices, walls and
fronts of practically all Structures
shattered down.
The earthquakes continued through
out the day. They menaced the wa
ter supply by crashing out the dam
of Sheffield reservoir, but a bypass
has been established to a main ressr
volr back In" the hills and water pro
vided for the city.
Shook Hotel Like Hag
The terror-stricken 80,000 Inhabi
tants in most cases settled down to
an emergency existence by noon, many
of them living on the lawns.
"I have been through fifty earth
quakes, but never one like this be
fore," said Manager Richmond of the
Arlington Hotel "It Just took the
hotel that we considered strong as a
fortress and shook it back and forth
as if It were a rag.,
"It Is precisely as if one were at sea
In a storm. One wonld not believe It
were possible for a building to move
with such force in so many directions
and apparently so limply as did the
Arlington.
"The hotel la a total loss."
{ Other stories of the motion of the
earthquake were similar.

combine the two former popular to
bacco warehouse interests of Youngs

Louisburg. They know the work and
are well known in a large portion of
adjoining territory.

warehouseman of wide knowledge and
experience and ample backing, ami he
expects to bring the Riverside back to
its former popularity.
in addition a full corps of buyers
will be on hand and a lire Market is
