Willard Brown Back.
Another member of the Stock Ex-

the week and made his presence felt.
Willard Brown returned on the Siberia

himself as greatly pleased with what

Telephone Situation.
The telephone situation is still in
statu quo, with the next move up to
the supervisors The board of SUPER
visors Mt the meeting last Tuesday
turned down the contract with the
company which had been virtually
agreed upon, the flop of Super
visor Ayleit being responsible for the
failure to have the contract signed. The
company, however, is going ahead with
the work of constructing its conduits
and putting its wires underground. Geo.
X. Carter states that this work will be
resumed tomorrow and will be pushed
as fast as possible. The equipment for
the new automatic system is now on the
way to Honolulu from the East.

for some years past has had charge Of
the savings bank department. This
move is in line with what has been

convenience to their women customers.

giving turkey will be on hand as usual,
a shipload of him being on the way,
but 1T will take plump pocketbook to
get him. The San Francisco price is
now 80 cents, and the price here will
hardly be less than 25, and possibly
more.
Must Import Beef.
Beef is getting so scarce on account
of lack of rain that it is expected that
the meat men will have to begin i'm
porting from the mainland again next
month.
Butter is also high and scarce. Pro-
, duce of all kinds is rather above the
normal in price at present.
} Real Estate.
There has not been great deal of
activity in the real estate market the
past week, no large sales being record
ed. A considerable number of single
lots in new residence districts, however,
have been sold, and the real estate men
are confident that with the large num-
bers of people coming to Hawaii more
activity will be exhibited in land be-
fore long.
The Kaimuki Land Company has dur
ing the week sold ten lots on the Wal
alae side of the Kaimuki ridge, eight
