Real Estate Strong.
An indication of the rising values OF
Honolulu real estate can be seen from
/ 1ha OF he Inr1i
auction sale of Alewa Height lots, hello
on Monday last, at which the average
price ran double the upset price and thu
figures for lots in the same section 6
year ago were trebled. There are some
transfers of real estate and all a. in
creased figures during the week, al
though the boom which many are pre-
dieting and a good many fearing ha'
not as yet arrived. While the value!
placed on properties now is an appre
cIable advance over those of a year ago
it is in response to legitimate demand
and there are few speculative sales.
House rents have increased little /.
any, although the demand for houses
is greater now than it has ever beer
and much in excess of the demand
Some building is being done for renta
purposes and the indications are tina
more building viii be done during thu
coming spring and summer than in am
former season.
Prominent Railroaders Here.
During the week, w Fl. Bancroft
vice president and general manager o.
the Union Pacific. and E. E. Calvin, vic
} president and general manager of thu
Southern Pacific, arrived in Honolulu
stating that their visit was one of rec
reation only. Advices by mail an
nounce that John w Kendrick, first vie
president of the Atchison. Topeka ant
Santa Fe, accompanied by Mr. Hodges
the chief purchasing agent of the com
pany, will be here before the end o.
the month. with a party of fifteen per
sons in all. while the names of othe
j. prominent railroaders are mentioned a
probable visitors The Kenrick part.
will arrive on the Manchuria on thu
Goth. While the tourist attractions o
Hawaii are unquestioned. the idea can
not be suppressed that the coming
here together of so many prominen
men in railroad circles has some othe
significance than merely to be here.
