COAST PROGRESS.

Editor Advertiser: After seeing

France, the United States and Can
ada. viii say I have seen no coun-
| try that 1 like better than Hawaii.
And there is no country that calls
! me. as Mark Twain says, and invites
me back as she does. But Hawaii
| does not show the progress and i'm
| provement seen here. For instance, in
| Southern California towns of amazing
! size and wondrous beauty seem to have
/ sprung up like mushrooms almost
| everywhere, the newest and most beau
| tiful of them being the American Ven

nails. bridges and cOlonnades, gondolas
| and other attractions, to say nothing
of the larger cities. Prices, too,
have gone up at an amazing rate.
There is also. the Long Pier at Port
Los Angeles. The famous building Of

del Rey, and the famous Redondo no
tel and beach. Oakland and Berkeley.
are also forging ahead at a great rate.
and prices of land a;e going skyward
at a surprising rate, and it begins to
look as if this whole countryside will
one day be one vast city. San Fran
cisco. too, which I had thought last
July was doomed, now looks, notwith-
standing the strikes to be building up
at a great rate, and it now looks as
if it will one day be more grand and
more beautiful than it ever was. This
progress is seen as far west as you go,
and at Seattle it is most evident. Here
nronertv that sold for hundreds of dol
lars. in some places, can not now be
bought for thousands, and the growth
everywhere has been wonderful. Small
towns are springing up all along the
line; and all along Puget Sound, or
what is called the Switzerland OF
America, with its beautiful lakes and
mountains, the progress is very evil
dent. This part, too, is going to be
the fruit garden of the world. Fruit
of vondrous size and beauty grows in
great profusion, while the yield of
grain is almost past belief. Vancou-
yer. too, though not so fine city as
I had expected, is going ahead and
it is thought will one day be a beau
tiful place-in fact. many think it is
now-and all that has been said of
Washington can be said of B. c. and
some think more too. 1t is inpossi-
BILE to get away from here, as all the
berths of every kind are taken on
the Miowera that leaves November s,
but I hope to get away next month.
The climate so far this fall has been
most beautiful and invigorating.

GOVERNOR ABOARD THOMAS.

The following deserved tribute to
Col. Edgar z. Steever, 4th U. S. Cav,
Governor of the District of Sulu, Moro
Province, P. l., who passed through
Honolulu from the Philippines in the
q. s. A. transport Thomas en- route
to the Coast. comes from a brother
officer now stationed in the province:
Those officers of the Army who have
served in the District of Sulu will be
pleased to learn of Governor Steever's
success in uniting the rival factions of
the Island of Jolo. Dattoes Joakanine
and Kalbi, advisors of the late Sultan
Jamlo Alan, have been bitter enemies
of the present Sultan Jamalo Kidam,
and all his people since they came into
power. This feeling has been especial
ly strong against Panglima Indanan, a
reformed thief. now Headman Of Par
ang Ward and advisor of the Sultan
The war waged by these rival factions
was suppressed by Governor scott, but
until Governor Steever's regime. peace
was not assured. Datto Joakanine
was particularly hostile, refusing t.
consider Panglima Indanan an equal
and refusing to sit in the same room
with him. During Governor steever'.

recent Illness. the District Secretary
represented him at a feast, celebrating
the uniting of these factions. Several
hundred people were present. Three
bulls being part of the collation., the
affair was very elaborate, lasting three
days, one of the features of the occa-
sion being the examination of Joaka-
mines daughter, Puth Tulan princess
Diamond), in the reading of the Koran.
Hadje Butu, the high priest, and many
other priests of lesser dignity officiated
at the ceremony. The examination
proving most satisfactory and this be-
ing considered very remarkable, as the
child is but nine years of age, it was
taken as a good omen for the peace
compact. Considering all this and the
fact that during the past year there
has been an increase of nineteen per
cent. in exports, twenty-nine per cent.
| in imports, seventy per cent. in gen
eral collections, 200 per cent. in acre
age under cultivation. 400 per cent. in
amount of capital invested and a de-
! crease in general expenses of thirty
per cent, some idea of Governor Stee-
ver's success may be gained. The peo-
+ pie are loud in their clamor that he
continue as Governor. It seems ill-ad-

They had been to dinner down town,
and after dinner, at which he had
seemed rather worried and distract,
they went to the theater. The play
was fascinating and for a time he
seemed to forget the something that
was disturbing his mental equilibrium
When they had left the theater and
started for the suburban station he
paused in the shadow of great build
ing and said, hesitatingly:

The beautiful girl paused expect

sure, this wasn't a very appropriate
time or place for hearing his avowal
of love, but she could make allow

Somewhere she had read that men in

To do the task you hate,

Grow eager for the fray
