THE SUCCESS OF PEARL CITY ASSURED
List of Purchasers, with LOca-
ton of Lots, Prices
Paid, Etc.

Brisk and enterprising advertising
brought big crowd together for the sale
of Peninsula lots yesterday. The skies
were threatening during the morning,
sending down frequent showers, but at
noon the waters we're held in suspense
for a period, SO that the heavens con-
spired with man to make this first sale
a success. All the morning the street
cars traversed the town p!acarded in
great letters summoning the public to
the sale. The traditional red flag waved
gaily in Fort street, and a man with a
big bell went out into the highways and
compelled the people to come in. They
did not begin with one accord to make ex-
the large rooms of the Pacific Hardware
Co. Chairs were provided and num-
Der of ladies were present.
The bidding began at 1915 and was
kept up briskly for two hours. In spite
| of the temporary financial depression,
in spite of the false prophecies of skep-
tics and croakers, lots went off like hot
cakes. TIL sale closed with 81 sold, the
prices paid aggregating $26,575, or an
average OF about $430 per lot. This, con-
sidering the dull times, is doing remark
ably we'll ''for starter" and speaks vol
umes for the present and prospective
prosperity OF the railroad company.
Many of the lots were purchased by
spectators with an eye open for coed
chance, who know very we'll that this
land Will never be so cheap again, but a
great many were purchased by persons
seeking to make rural home, with the
| ;rfn ofb ,,i1linn nd "a
property at an early date. Although the
results of the sale were highly satisfac-
tory, yet none of the lots can
be said to have brought fancy prices
and most oil the purchasers can con-
graduate themselves on a "bargain. u
Ii any of all these lucky iandholders
may be pronounced happy above the
rest, it is surely Mr.. and Mrs. Boardman
who have become the owners Of piece
of land which makes ones mouth water
and stirs a most unchristian envy in the
heart of this writer.
Although many of the seaside lots
have now passed into the hands O
private owners, large number still re
main, some of them among the mos
charmingly situated of all on the PENN
sula. In the vicinity of the Hotel site ar,
a great many lots which are not only NOR
conveniently situated than the best OF
the shore. but which will command de
hghtful views. The second sale ought t,
bring in very heavy realizations. Onl,
about one-seventh of the total available
land was disposed of yesterday.
1t would be ungrateful not to mention
the fragrant coffee and delicious sand
wiches, sent from the Hotel, which
temporarily abolished hunger and thirst
To the inpecunious who could not BIZ
on Peninsula lots, lots of sandwiche
were allotted gratis.
Following is the list of purchasers
with lot and block numbers and prices
Reference to the maps lately distribute
by the ADVERTISER will enable on
readers to ascertain at glance just wha
sales have been made and what lots re
main:

ADVERTISING DOES IT.

The splendid results of the land sales
yesterday-splendid when we consider
the existing financial depression-are
largely due to enterprising, continuous
and extensive advertising. No one has
ever advertised in this country with
more energy, intelligence and push than
the o. r. & L. Co, and it has paid
every time. From the very beginning,
from the inception of the enterprise in
the brain of it's founder, it has been up
hill work; a succession of victories in
the face of encouragement and defeat.
Advertising has helped to win every
victory. Success convinces the world,
facts which you can see with your eyes
and feel with your fingers satisfy even
the most incorrigibly doubling Thomas.
The facts are all there, SO patent to view
that the mole-eyed can see, too clear
for the most obstinate to reason away.
The croakers and prophets of evil begin
to hide their diminished heads and be
silent for very shame.
Intelligent advertising on grand scale
has been the motto of the o. R. & L.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1891-10-22
PENINSULA LOTS.

In the minds of many who were for
tunate enough yesterday afternoon to Sc
cure the lot of their choice on the PENN
sula, the question will present itself
"What shall l do with it?'' Is it to be
for business or pleasure? We are told
by those whose opinions are best worth
considering, that Pearl Harbor is des-
tined to be, and that at no very remote
period, great mid-Pacific port where
steamers will converge from all points of
the compass to take in coal, stores and
provisions ; to take up and to discharge
merchandise; to communicate by cable
with owners and consignors at Yoko-
hama and Hong Kong, in North America
in one direction and in Australasia in
another, and we firmly believe that this
will be so; but when? Answer: When
there is wide and deep entrance to the
harbor, and not before.
1t is supposed that the Nicaragua Canal
may be open for traffic irrfive years time ;
then every effort should be made to have
the entrance to Pearl Harbor ready by
the same time.
| When once begun, there is nothing
like five years work ON the passage; five
months with liberal expenditure would
suffice, but that is no reason for post
poning efforts towards the commence
ment of the work.
But then, what is to be done with out
lots in the meanwhile? Those who ha e
secured water frontage should build at
, once, anything, from IA luxurious Wal
kiki villa to little "rest and be thank
full" two or three bedrooms and gooC
lanai.
For boating of any sort the harbo
cannot be surpassed, from the pair-oare(
skiff to the ten ton yacht. For people
with more shorekeeping tastes there il
: excellent soil and abundant water, anC
nowhere could more beautiful fowe
garden be created with less soil III
shorter time. Some experts say that til,
ground is peculiarly suitable for rose
} growing; at all events you have only ct

THE DAILY
THURSDAY,

IF THE account of new application of
the telephone principle, as related on the
fourth page, be reliable, it is among the
possibilities of the near future, that the
invention may serve for deep-sea cables
as we'll or better than the present tele-
graph system. The telephone cable re-
Gently laid between London and Paris
has from the start worked satisfactorily
the voice of the speaker being heard as
clearly and recognized as readily as over
the shortest land lines; and this fact
suggests that the principle OF deep-sea
communication by voice instead of by
the magnetic needle, may be extended
to an indefinite length, and in time super
cede the ocean telegraph. If the merits
OF Mr.. Christie's invention are not over
drawn, and it proves to be as valuable as
claimed, We may yet see Hawaii con-
nected with Monterey by telephone at
much less than it would cost to lay a
telegraph cable, and in half the time.

The ALAMEDA brings one or two days
later news, but nothing of Importance
seems to have happened. The physi-
clans certify that Parnell's death was
due to rheumatic fever and failure of the
heart. This seems to dispose, finally, of
the notion that he committed suicide.
Still the doctors decline to speak on the
subject. Arrangements were being made
for public funeral in Dublin. The
opinion seems to be growing that his
death will terminate the division in the
Irish Party.
There has been riot near Annoy,
China, owing to fiscal abuses. Several
mandarins and other officials were killed.
It is believed in Shanghai that China is
gradually drifting into war through blind
confidence in her army. The Greek
feet is to be modified in order to nance
uver in the Archipelago. The Paris cor
respondent of the Times confirms the
news that the treaty between France and
Russia will shortly be signed. An i'm.
mensely rich silver lode has lately been
discovered in British Columbia. Sara
Bernhard sent 100000 home from
Australia. Greek and Latin monks are
quarreling again at Bethlehem and a
French Franciscan was wounded. The

OF VALUE TO THE COUNTRY.

Through the extended circulation of
the Paradise of the Pacific tourists have
had their attention turned here and
through its influence, as shown by num-
erous letters, many have come already,
and many more have expressed an in
tention and desire to visit the Paradise
of the Pacific.
From the interest established amongst
its readers, contemplated industries have
had encouragement by written requests
for figures and information relative to
the obtaining of pineapples, bananas and
other fruits for sale and canning.
Samples of island coffee have been
sent to various points and there have
been practical attempts made to invest
capital in the development of coffee and
fruit growing industries.
Business men here who have been
naturally engrossed in the perplexities
of their own local business are really not
aware of the practical good this paper
has been doing in the advancement of
island interests, as mass OF corresp0n-
dence, too extensive to quote entire,
bears witness.
Communications have been received
from parties able and willing to invest
here, from places in every State OF the
Union and from cities in Europe, Asia,
Africa and Australia.
It is well-known fact that in Europe
and all other countries every effort is
made to attract tourist travel, and that
tourists, aside from the amount of money
spent in sightseeing, often invest cap
ital and aid in the advancement or
establishment of new industries. More
| over, from the ranks of tourists, are
often furnished new and desirable set
tiers who locate for the benefits obtain
able from climate, and who become a
benefit to the country as taxpayers.
The questions which follow are fair
samples from many communications re-
ceived by every mail and are forcible
presentations of some of the probable
beneficial results OF the extended circu-
lation of the Paradise of the Pacific:
