Hale the portions of the island
of Lanai which constituted the
undivided two-thirds interest of the
estate of the late Walter Murray Glib
son, there will be before investors one
of the most allurinG propositions. per-
haps, ever offered in Hawaii. one which
may be counted from every side fav-

In no more than two or three In
stances in the Territory have the men

themselves estates. where there Is offer

fee lands comprise but modest part
of the whole island the other holdings
are such that a majority of the acre

difaculty. Once this done there would

great gufches, comprise the ranges, on
which now feed $4,000 sheep. $50 head of
cattle and almost the same number OF
horses. This Is capable of such increase
