TO $40 900. 900 or more being expended
for further improvement of the cleo
tric street railway system, $250O0,OOO
for the building of the owens river
aoueduct. $3500,000 for good county
roads. and more millions for fortlfi-
cation and Improvement of Los An
geles harbor at San Pedro, is shown IN
the building statistics for the first, SIX
months of the year 1910 Just closed.
Total number Of permits issued Jan
nary to June, inclusive, approXimateS
6311: authorizing improvements aggre-
eating $11, 1872, 1853, or $6,172,O16 more than
for the same period in 1909; and ST.
42S. 1923 in excess of the total valuation
of improvements for the first six
months in 1903. It is $1,S00,9S1 greater
than the total for the entire year 1908,
and is only $1.52S,345 less than the
total for the year 1909.
Predictions are made that the total
valuation for the year 1910 will be ap-
proximately $25,000,000.
Home building, as well as the erec-
tion of modern office and hotel struc-
lures in the business districts have
been great features of the present
wear, and there is in evidence further
activity along these lines. Thus far IN
1910 more than 2600 permits nave peen
issued for the erection of homes; total
valuation S4,S78,725.
At no other period in the entire his

LAY MAINS IN VERNON

against the Los Angeles Gas and Electric
company to prevent the laying OF gas mains
in the streets Of Vernon without franchise
being granted, was decided late yesterday by

dissolved.

South Dakota Land Attractive
Where the corn crop profits vie with
the wheat yield and the farmer is
bewildered as to which to choose it must
be pretty good land. And that is true
about the state of South Dakota, which
in the last few years has been attract
ing more immigration than almost any
other state in the union.
Yet, for century almost, the land
has been famous for its richness. There
are.parts of it that the greatest Indian
wars in history were fought over, and
the possession of it by the whites was
not secured until many lives were lost.
That is what they are beginning to
do now, and If one looks back at that
record year, 1906, which is almost like
the Higira, has come to be the basis of
all farming comparisons, it viii be seen
that the state of South Dakota produces
more crops per capita than any other
state, which of course means nothing
but that If South Dakota had happened
to have in it as many people as there

2-That if any person shall file any
statement on oath, with the county
auditor fifteen days prior to the holding
of any primary election, or other cleo
ton, that any person whose name has
been certified to the county auditor as
candidate for county superintendent
upon any ticket is not qualified under
the provisions of this act to hold
the office of county superintendent,
said candidate shall within five days af-
ter being notified of said statement be-
ing filed, file with the county auditor
full proof that he is qualified to hold
office, and if he fails to do so, the name
of said person shall not be placed upon
the official ballot as candidate by the
county auditor.
3.-All acts and parts of acts in con-
fiict with this act are hereby repealed.
Approved, February 25th, 1909.
At the Sisseton trial last Tuesday the
deputy state superintendent of South
Dakota was present with the state rec
ords to show that Mr.. Hetley had not
held certificate of any kind since Oct
ober LIST, 1906. Consequently he had no
certificate during the last two years he
was in office, nor did he have a certifi-
cate when he qualified to take the
office for the second term.
The matter as to the qualifications of
Mr.. Hetley would have been settled last
Tuesday, but owing to the fact that an
amendment was granted to the writ OF
mandamus, which will necessitate an
other ten or more days notice before
coming to trial.
| The Court would not say as to the
matter, in the meanwhile, whether the
name of Mr.. Hetley should be placed
on the primary election ballot or not.
believe that Mr.. Hetley is notqual-
flied according to the state law, and as
the law provides that in such cases such
name should not appear on the primary
or election ballots, feel that in justice
to myself should present the above
facts. Signed,

not thought Of. For one, IL your

the electric current will follow this
trail of acid from positive to negative

short time the battery is dead.
Here is something else, the average
vibrating coil, unless adjusted by an
expert with instruments consumes
from so to 100 per cent more current
than it ought to, or in other words
your battery Is being run down that
much faster than it should. Now
