And still the activity in building
operations go ahead without evidence
of decrease. Thousands of vacant lots
have been taken out OF the market in
the past few years by the erection OF
splendid bank and office structures and
by the building of dwellings in the high
class residential sections and in the
suburbs. The expenditures monthly
for the building of homes alone nave
been around SS00,000 which means an
outlay Of nearly S10OO0,000 annually for
dwellings to shelter the growing popu-
lation. What the future will reveal in
valuation along the line of improve
ments can only be estimated, but that
present high records will be smashed
seems a strong probability, for many
thousands of strangers are nocliing to
Los Angeles from all parts of the
world, and with them comes increased
capital to place in various enterprises.
The incomplete statement OF build
ing improvements in the city and
suburbs for the present month, as sub
mtted by the chief inspector of build
ings show that for twenty five lays
in November 813 permits were granted,
authorizing improvements valued at
81, ,079, $50, placing the eleventh month
of 1910 at the top for results or this
sum $l110,032 was expended for the
erection of twenty-three class A and c
structures, $7S3, ,76S for the erection Of
1896 residences and $185,759 for 394
changes and alterations i'll old struc-
lures, for foundations and Cor
churches.

900 building permits issued, ~authoriz-
ing improvements valued at the sum
of $4,000, 00O This breaks all previous
high records in the splendid march OF
substantial improvements in Los An

marvellous progress of what is to be-
come the most popuIous commercial

results will continue to pile up until
the widest predictions of the most
optimistic boosters for the metropolis
of the southland will be more than
realized.

CHARRED BONES OF THREE DER
 SONS ARE FOUND.
JEWElRY IN AN ASHPILE
Henry Yamagachi, Japanese, Is Under Suspicion and Police Are
 Seeking Him.

San,a Rosa, Cal, Aug. 5.-By the arrest of Japanese boy, Henry Yam agachi, for whom a vigorous search is being made, Sonoma county off cials hope to obtain the key to triple murder on a lonely ranch near here. which parallels in certain respects the tragedies of the GGnncss farm in h. diana.
 The crime was reevaled when the county authorities, Investigating the disappearance of a family of three, discovered the charred bones of Enoch Kendall, Mrs. Ura Kendall, his wife. and Thomas A. Kendall, their son, in the yard of their canyon home on the Starbuck ranch, near a sum- mer resort known as Crospers, just north of Santa Rosa.
 Suspicion, according to the authori- ties, is directed toward the missing Japanese. Yamagach occupied a cabin on the ranch and is known to have quarreled with ThomGs Kendall man. ager of ,Ee place, wno IS said to have
 
 A few days ago neighbors, noting that nothing had been seen of the Kendalls for more than a week, called for the attention of the authorities Sheriff J. K. Smith accompanied by two court officials, visited the place At the ranch house the investigators found everything in order,
 No light was shed on the mystery until the kitchen stove was opened In the ashes of the grate fragments of bones were found. It was seen that light trail of cinders led from the stove through the door to the yard. Following this trail some dis tance from the house the searchers came upon an ashpile, which was found to contain many human bones and several blackened pieces of jew elry, among which was a plain gold wedding ring that bore the initials TT. A. K.,' those of the younger Ken dall.
 Later another ashpile was discov- cred and it contained pieces of human skulls, pair of gold spectacles and charred bones. Lying on the grass near by was breastpin that held a miniature of Thomas Kendall and which was identified by neighbors as having been constantly worn by Mrs Kendall.
