school facilities enjoyed by few child
rem living in towns in Louisiana. This
is not because the Lafayette teachers
are necessarily better than those OF
other towns, but because in Lafayette
we have twelve teachers for eight
grades and the school is probably
rivalled in this respect by only one
other school in the State. This is due
to the location in our midst of that
magnificent institutiOn-the South

SAN DIEGO GROWING.
Many Nez0 Buildings Since San
Francisco Disaster.

San Diego, Cal, Oct. 13 (SpeciaD.-When San
Francisco was destroyed by the great earth
quake on April IS business men all through
Southern California lost heart completely. be-
heving that Los Angeles and San Diego would
sulIer seriously as a direct result of the great
catastrophe. 1t was feared in the first place
'hat the California tourist traffic from the East
would at once begin to dwindle. and that pros
pective settlers would fear 10 come to the Pa
cifc Coast This feeling however lasted only
a few weeks. when the tourist traffic began To
increase rapidly until the figures for the months
or May, June and July showed a far larger num-
per or Eastern visitors than ever before in the
history of Southern California
Only few days after the earthouake John d
Spreckels gave out the statement that he would
invest heavily in San Diego property and on
August p he took out a building permit In San
Diego for a new Spreckels building to cost S165-
COO. besides buying a valuable residence prop
erty; and at about the same time he purchased
the National City & Otay Railroad running
south from San Diego toward Mexico for 500
900. This action of Spreckels at once gave cour-
age to Los Angeles and San Diego business men
and investors, and from that day to this the
building permits have been increasing at a rapid
rate. The permits for the month of August ran
up close to S1.5OO.0OO in the city of Los Angeles
while the month of July showed S1.7OOOGO The
same marvellous condition of things also ap-
peared in San Diego. The building permits in
the month of July summed up to S12O.9OO. while
August ran high as S291. .775. Up to October
the sum total Of San Diego's building permits
from January l amounted to So 295 2T5 This is
a remarkable showing for earthquake year.
since the building permits in San Diego for the
whole of 1908 amounted to only 81. 1870 At
the present rate of increase it is estimated that
the total building permits for the current year.
ending December 81, will reach the three million
mark.

race the yalkyrie on the regular Saturday dates
this year. but has decided to put her into the
