Time VIII Aid You.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
During my school vacation 1 returned
to my home town. Daytona- Fla W nile
there most of my time was spent with
the girl dearest to me. Some of the
town boys, who were envious of me,
did their best to put me in false
light They succeeded in doing SO as
far as her mother is concerned. The
consequence is that 1 am not allowed
to visit at her home any more.

This IS unfortunate, but so long as
the girl remains true you have no
cause for worry. Conduct yourself IN
such a way the mother will be con-
WINGED she has been unjust to you NO
pleading, no argument, no intervention
OF friends will help you as much as
your own good conduct

CHARTER FOR l.. A. COUNTY

Los ANGELES, Sept. 26.-On the one
announcement Of the election of the
members of the county board of free
holders, and fifteen minutes before the
expiration of the time limit for the
completion of their work signed copies
Of the proposed Los Angeles county
onarter were filed with the county re-
corder and the county clerk.
But although the task was not com
ieted until the eleventh hour, and
required heavy and hurried work dur
ing the past few days, all of the char
ter trainers who affixed their sigma
lures to the tentative governing instru-
ment expressed themselves as well
pleased with the result of their la
bors
Ali believe that a we'll finished, " ell

has been drawn. II now remains for
the people to adopt or reject the. pro-
posed charter at the polls in the No
vember election.
Although the board. as such. is lin :
tied In Its functions to the drawing of
the charter, and cannot take action
looking toward the approval of the
instrument by the voters of the county,
many of the freeholders have an
nounced their intention of getting out

mitted to the people, and asking them

REPORTED Los ANGELES
AGAIN AFTER STATE ROAD

The announcement that another cent
in Los Angeles and that the price may
still further advance soon will GER
tainly be welcome news to the dairy
men of the valley. This is proving a
season of great profit to the dairymen
of the valley, and a large degree of
the prevailing prosperity is due to this
industry.
In this connection ii is worthy to
note that a great improvement has
taken place in the dairy stock in the
valley. ID. G. Whiting of Heber, who
is the pioneer breeder of Jerseys iT
this region, and who keeps close watch
of conditions, says that much of the
poorer stock has during recent years
been sent to the butchers and that the
dairymen are steadily building up the
standard of their herds.
He calls attention to the steady up
breeding of dairy stock. and says it is
remarkable how rapidly the herds in
crease naturally, heifers coming into
production at two years of age, and
almost invariably being of higher
grade than the dams, with practically
all heifer calves being raised
OF course this increase is augmented
by heavy importations of dairy cows
which is still going on rapidly, with
the result that the percentage of in
crease in the output of butter is as
great now as ever
While the official figures will not be
available for several months, it now
seems certain that this county has
gone far past Humboldt and Stanislaus
counties, which have led in the dairy
business in the state, and that Imperial
county is now producing a half million
pounds of butter a month, or about six
million pounds a year.
The experience of this year is not
apt to change this tendency upward in
production, and the industry is under
such headway that it is sure to run
far beyond the present output, while
the great gain in the population of
southern Calf ifornia, where little or no
butter is produced, will give a growth
in demand which will warrant years
of future development.

GATES TO OPEN JANUARY FIRST
Los ANGELES. Sept. 26.-That the

first water to be turned into the aque-
long journey toward Los Angeles
about January l is the statement made
by Gen. Adna Chaffee. 1t will be about
two months later, however, before the
water will enter the city mains.
II is planned TO open the headgates
of the aqueduct as soon as the work
in the Alabama hills is completed, and
il is believed this will be done about
January l. The water entering the
big ditch for the first few weeks will
be retained in the Haiwee reservoir
as a matter of testing the latter
Every part of the long ditch will be
carefully tested before the full head
of water is run through it. If any
imperfections should be discovered, the
stream will be promptly stopped until
repairs are made.
Engineer ]. b. Lippincott says that
the water will travel through the aque-
duct at the rate of about four miles
an hour, which will bring it to the
city. total distance of 235 miles, In
about two and a half days from the
time ii leaves the river.
To insure the safety of the aque-
duct. caretakers will be hired to watch
it at various points. There will also
be a watchman at the headgates. who
will receive advice by telephone If
anything goes wrong, necessitating the
shutting down of the gates.

ANOTHER CENT IS ADDED
TO BUTTER MARKET PRICE

Advices coming from San Diego are
to the effect that Los Angeles has re-
newed it's strenuous efforts to get the
state highway into this valley from
the north, instead Of from San Diego
and the county surveyor, George But
Ter, has been sent to Sacramento to lay
certain facts before the State High
way Commission in the interest of the
San Diego road.
II has been expected that some time
soon the state commission would take
action indicating the route to be fol-
lowed in the building of the state
highway into EI Centre, and the two
cities on the coast are making strenu-
Gus efforts.
OF course when the road is con-
structed, if under the state bond issue
this county will be required to give
assent to assuming the obligation tn
pay off the bonds required for build
ing the county, and carrying out the
proposal of Los Angeles to build a
road that will not enter the heart OF
the valley and furnish the desired out
let to the mountains, the people Of this
valley never would consent to as
sumo the burden.
The fact that Los Angeles has un
dertaken to raise 100000 to be used
in the construction of the road, if that
city should now amend its plans to
run the national highway through the
valley, there might be a great change
in the attitude of the valley toward its
project.
Affairs have now proceeded far
enough to make certain that there will
be two goods highways from the val
ley, as there ought to be, one by way
of Brawley to Los Angeles and the
other direct to San Diego. The build
ing of these is a matter of details IN
financing the ventures, and those de-
tails will be worked out, but not if
Los Angeles adheres to its purpose of
clinging to the desert as against IL
valley route.
