suggest by his manner, speech or ap-
pearance man who has spent a good

Of the Woody West" But that is
what this Eastern writer of vivid and
absorbing cowboy stories has done
Since early in the eighties he has
made an annual trip of several months
duration to the land of the long horned
steer. If Mr.. Wister's descriptions of
ranch life are graphic. if his insight
into the spirit of the West seems TO
be acute. if his feelings for Western
instincts are sincere and if the cowboy
characters in his stories ring true. it
is because he writes at first hand and
because, through years of living in the
far West. he has come to love it and
it's people. Mr.. Wister still lives in
Philadelphia, the city of his birth; and.
if you should get hold of a directory
of that town and look through the WIS,

ADMIRAL LYONS FLAG
Continued from Page -

| several of the 10th Infantry from
| Camp Mckinley,
| The Marine guard from the Naval
! Station was drawn up in double rank
near the foot of the flagstaff, the
sailors of the e. S. s. Iroquois and the
members of the Hawaiian band form
ing on two additional sides of the
square about the base. The beautiful
silk flag which designated the Adj
miral's rank was held in the halyards,
by George Varis, now a foreman at the
Naval Station who had asked permits
sion to hoist the AdmiraIs flag.
Promptly at II o'clock the blue flag
was run slowly up to the peak while
the marine guard presented arms. AS
it reached to highest point it was
saluted with seventeen guns fired by
the battery in the naval grounds in
charge OF Thomas Fay. Gunner's Mate
of the L. S. S. Iroquois. Both Varis
and Fay were with Admiral Lyon on
board the flagship Trenton during the
hurricane at Samoa, March 16, 1899,
which wrecked American and German
warships stationed there.
After the station guns had ceased
firing the batteries of the battleship
Oregon belched forth a salute of thir-
teen guns and as the last shot was
fired, the United States Revenue Cut

handing, took up the Salutation and
thirteen guns We're fired from that
ship. In return, seven guns were again
fired from the Naval Station battery.
1t was a novel experience to the guests
for it was a case of cannon to right
of them cannon to left of them and
cannon in front of them. AS the
echoes of the salutes died away and
the smoke cleared the Hawaiian band
played national airs.
During this time Admiral Lyon, sur
rounded by officers and guests, stood
on the lawn beneath the trees, his
eyes raised toward the flag which,
when at the truck, made it known that
he had risen to practically the highest
grade in the Navy
Immediately Sse Admiral was con-
graduated by the assemblage and his
health was drunk in glasses of punch.

PROSPECTS FOR SETTLING
COOPER TRACT ARE GOOD

AS result of the publicity given
land and building syndicate to operate
in Manoa valley there was a rush of
inquirers yesterday at the residence
of III. E. Cooper, whose lands have
been taken over by the syndicate, and
already eight applications for lots have
been formally made. In addition many
have arranged with the real estate
branch of the syndicate to take hold
of property in various parts of the
town and put this on the market, APP
plying the proceeds towards the pur-
chase of Manoa building lots The APP
plications now on file will be consider
ed at meeting of the syndicate to
be held within a day or two
The same restrictions as to the style
of buildings and the disposition of
them .ss>spPeyails in the College Hills
community will be imposed in the
lower Manoa valley properties con-
troied by the syndicate, although the
minimum cost of $4,000 for the dwellings
VIII not be one of the conditions. The
applications now in are for houses
ranging from $1,000 to $500, and have
been made principally by young mar
r1ed men who do not want expensive
dwellings, although this does not mean
that cheap, inartistic houses are to be
built. The prices of the lots at pres
ent run from $500 to $500. according
to size and location.
Only one of the fifty available lots
is now being built on and only two
others have been definitely selected,
and as the tract is new one there
will probably be large number of
applicants in the very near future
anxious to secure the first choices
among these lots. Every application

cate being prepared to accept per
cert. on the first deferred payments,

rate charged by the regular associa-
lions is over 10 per cent.
All the pioneering in this district has
been done. 1t is on the main telephone
system and electric light line, has
car service which viii probably be i'm
proved al to time as the business in
creases and a water works system is
installed and connected with the Col
lege Hills system. The water works
and roads are as yet the property of
the syndicate. but il is expected that
they will be taken over by the county
within a few days The roads are
graded macadamized and curbed ac-
cording to county regulations and ne
gotiations have been made with Super
intendent of Public Works Holloway
to have them taken over as public
roads. The private water works sys-
tenn was tested a few days ago by the
inspecting engineer of that department
and found satisfactory as to pressure
and pipe connections.
The fact that Levers & Cooke sse
members OF the syndicate is not to be
taken advantage Of in the way of in
initiating the cost of materials for the
buildings and the plans and build
ing contracts are to be left alto
gether to the builders themselves.
One result OF the building operations
will be the moving OF the Manoa Golf
Club to pastures new. although as long
as they can find room for their game
on the old links Mr.. Cooper win make
them welcome.
