In the downtown districts theefforts of the dynamiters were wholly unavailing. The fire had gainedsuch headway that it swept with a roar over every vacant space made bythe explosive and continued its consuming way in every direction.
Better success was obtained in the residence district west on thesecond day of the fire. The widest thoroughfare in the city is VanNess avenue in the heart of the fashionable residence section. Thereit was decided that an effort should be made to check the spread o...fthe flames westward and save the many beautiful homes in the districtbetween that avenue and the water line.
The co-operation of the artillery was secured and huge cannons weredrawn to the avenue by the military horses to aid the dynamiters inblowing up the mansions of the millionaires on the west of Van Nessavenue in order to prevent the flames from leaping across the highwayand starting on their unrestraining sweep across the western addition.
Every available pound of dynamite was hauled to that point and thesight was one of stupendous and appalling havoc as the cannons weretrained on the palaces and the shot tore into the walls and toppledthe buildings in crushing ruins.
