The builders of a great city : San Francisco's representative men, the city, its history and commerce : pregnant facts regarding the growth of the leading branches of trade, industries and products of the state and coast . ing four 40-horse powerelectric dynamos. This engine fur-nishes power to four circuits, withelectric motors, which provide thenecessary power for neighboringfactories, and which are now in suc-cessful operation.

He came to the United Stateswith his parents when four or fiveyears old; they settled in Portland,Maine,
