CITY PROGRESS.

Any body who will set himself
the not unpleasant task of ramble
through this city and its environs,
may see abundant evidence of the
wealth and energy there is in this
community, the belief in its future
which stimulates them to fresh I'M
dertakings, and the technical skill
as we'll as taste of our builders and
artisans. Without saying more of
our two great foundries and IRON
works. the Honolulu and the
Union, but that they are both in
full blast, let US notice some of the
buildings, private and public, now
actually in hand.
To begin with, the new Market
House now in frame and beginning
to show its size and proportions.
We hope to see this finished and
occupied in the near future, and the
historic old fish market cleared
away to make room for new
wharves and warehouses. Not far
from the new market house, and
just makai of the Union Iron
Works ls another large iron fabric
nearly completed going up. Next
we come by way of Fcrt street to
the clearing at the corner of Mer-
chant street, where large excava-
ton is gong on for the foundations
and basement of q fine, solid struc.
ture to take the place of the old
coral and wooden building lately
removed. Farther on in Fort
street the large Brewer block is re-
ceiving its timber work, and 8
little farther we look down Hotel
street and see the roof being raised
on the new building belonging tc
the Robinson Estate.
Beyond Beretania and on Fort
street are quite number of conve
nient cottages, some already com
p'eted and occupied as fast as fin
ished and others in various stage:
of progress.
Now walk eastwards along Bere
tanla street till at the corner O
Richards street we see the massiv,
foundations and basement of thu
new Central Union Church, an edi
flee that is to cost 100000; ant
crossing the hotel grounds to Ala
kea street one cannot fail to motto,
the singularly tasteful cottag,
nearly finished for Mr.. Porter
Again up on the Thurston avenu,
on the southeast slope of Punch
bowl is charming residence lately
erected for Mr.. Geo. w. Ashley
ALI these buildings are evidences
OF prosperity and hopefulness an,
in many cases of really good taste
The Volcano Hotel Company ha
appointed Mr.. Howard as archi
tect and awarded the first contrac
to Mr.. Howard, who will com
mence building operations speedily
We heartily wish success t,
every one engaged in improving O
identifying this city and harbor
and increasing facilities and in
ducements for the extension O
tourist travel.

The Bear Was Hugging Mary.

MOUNTAIN HOME ARK, October 30
William Roberts brings story from the
mountains north of here of an adventure
of two girls, which would have had
fatal ending had it not been for the
nerve of one of them.
Mary Wells and Julia Roberts, lived on
adjoining farms, and were great friends
They are typical Arkansas girls and can
handle rifle better than most men in
their neighborhood, SO they do not hest
tate to tackle the biggest game in the
woods.
During one of~their hunting trips late
ly they went TO wild turkey roost
built a blind and waited. AS they lay
in ambush they heard the approach of
what they supposed was a man, but it
turned oat to be a bear. Mary
fired at it, and the animal maddened by
pain, made dash at the girls, catching
Mary he screamed, and as she was
being dragged away Julia ran close to
the bear, and placing the muzzle of her
shotgun, which had Il heavy load of
turkey shot, behind his shoulders, fired.
tearing hole clear through him. He
dropped in his tracks. With the excep-
ton OF a few bruises and a slightly
lacerated arm Mary was unframed.
The girls are the heroines of the coun-
try.

in about the same relative positions |
from day to day. Travelling from four
to ten abreast, the herd stretched out
for mile or more, with wide>hatted
cowboys on either side as guards, was
wonderful picture. Over hill and
through valleys, crossing rivers and
plains they stretch out, and woe to the
person who was in the way if a stam
pede came.
It required little to cause it, but when
it came the whole company Of long
horned creatures became for the time
practically insane, following the lead
ers with wild fury until tired ont or
scattered beyond collection. The only
manner Of handling them was by the
milling process. With half dozen
cowboys on one side of the leaders the
herd was gradually turned until the cat
tie were running in circle. Then there
was nothing to do but sit quietly on the
ponies and let the rushing animals tire
themselves out. There would be found
the remains of A score or two that had
been unable to keep up with their com
panions and been tralnpled under foot.
Their hides were removed and stored IN
the camp wagon. aud the cavalcade
moved Oh.
There WIS one method, however. of
hating the herd which would sometimes
succeed The writer saw it used once
on the banks Of the Cimmarron, when
the life of the little child of an emigrant
was directly in the path of the oncom
ing host The little one stood as if par
alyZed with fear, and the onloOkers ex-
pected to see it crushed to death be-
meath the cruel hoofs. Just before the
herd reached the child a cowboy with a
sack Oh his saddle dashed between the
cattle and the supposed victim. A slen-
der white stream ran from the sack-it
was salt AS the first line came to the
magic strip of sailed grass it stopped;
then the second and soon the herd was
eating peacefully. and the cowboy
brought the child to camp. This was
not always practicable, especially in the
night.
The cattle trails are now crossed by
highways, railroads, and fences, though
the barren lines may here and there be
seen. The towns in which the cowboys
disported at the end of their journey are
quiet, prosperous, agricultural cities,
with a peaceful church going popula-
tion Many of the ''oldetimers'' who
were active in the ''cattle days. have
retired on their then earned riches and
enjoy relating the events of those stir
ring times, experience which will never
again have parallels in the life of the
new Vests development.
