Real Estate Strong.
An indication of the rising values of
Honolulu real estate can be seen from
the prices realized at the government
auction sale of Alewa Height lots, held
on Monday last, at which the average
price ran double the upset price and the
figures for lots in the same section
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 has
not as yet arrived. While the values
placed on properties now is an appre.
cable advance over those of year ago,
it is in response to a legitimate demand
and there are few speculative sales.
House rents have increased little If
any, although the demand for houses
is greater now than it has ever been
and much in excess of the demand.
Some building is being done for rental
purposes and the indications are that
more building will be done during the
coming spring and summer than in any
former season.
Prominent Railroaders Here
During the week, w. II. Bancroft,
vice president and general MANAGE of
the Union Pacific, and +. T.. Calvin, vice
president and general manager of the
Southern Pacific, arrived in Honolulu,
stating that their visit was one of rec.

nounce that John w. Kendrck, first vice
president of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe, accompanied by Mr.. Hodges,
the chief purchasing agent of the com
pany, will be- here before the end of
the month, with party of fifteen per
sons in all, while the names of other
prominent railroaders are mentioned as
probable visitors. The Kenrick party
will arrive on the Manchuria on the
goth. While the tourist attractions of
Hawaii are unquestioned, the idea can.
not be suppressed that the coming
here together of so many prominent
men in railroad circles has some other

Wireless Telephone Affairs.
A cablegram was received yesterday
by C. ]. Hutchins that c. Grange, pres.
ident of the Metropolis Savings Bank of
San Francisco, had sailed for Honolulu
to take up the matter of the bonds of
the Hawaiian Wireless and Telephone
Company, which the San Francisco
trust company had underwritten. This
is taken to mean that the report made
by Q. ii. Berry, the agent of the com
pany, who spent some time here, has
been favorable and that Mr.. Grange
is coming to complete all arrangements
for going ahead at once with the in.
stallation of the automatic system.
