This is the Case with Many Honolulu

Tco many Honolulu citizens are
handicapped with bad back. The
unceasing pain causes constant misery,

give relief, but can not reach the

When Did the Act Become in Force?

When Did the Act Become in Force?
The one question in the letter as to
the date of the coming into force of
the Municipal Act seems TO be import
ant. If the legal opinion is that the
law went into effect when it was ap-
proved by the Governor last April, the
later actions of the last board may
prove without effect AS the election
was held under the act, it would seem
that it was in force in November, at
any rate.

UNFINISHED FLATS
HAVE NEW OWNER
Abe Morrison Purchases the Thomas
Apartments Under Construction
on North Fourth Street.

The Thomas flats, under construc-
ton at A and north Fourth streets.
diagonally opposite the Methodist
church, have been sold to Abe Morri-
son, who will complete them. To all
appearances, Mr.. Morrison has made
an excellent purchase. He paid
$11,00 for the property as it stands,
and it is estimated that the work done
is of a value of $4,000. Robert Rob
inson engineered the deal and the
property passes into the hands of his
father-in-law.
j. H. Thomas, who was building the
flats for himself, purchased the site
from d. NJ. Rand and the figure paid
for the lot was $4,000. He has su-
perintended the construction work
himself and having his own teams,
etc. has been able to do the work to
greater advantage and at less cost
than might have been the case other
wise. His reason for selling the prop
erty at this item is not known.
The building, which is of two stories,
is constructed to contain eight apart
ments of five rooms each. 1t is of
brick with stone facings and concrete
basement.

CAPITOL HILL Is BOOMING.
Prices Take Jump i'm Boulevard Adj
dition and Total Sales Establish
New Record.

The price of lots in Boulevard adj
dition has taken another jump dur
ing the past few days and values have
been raised from 500 to $3.50 lot
owing to report which has been
circulated that one of the extensions
of the Transportation company liens
is to go out Broadway.
Activity in realty has been lively on
south Capitol Hill for the past two
months and the different realty firms
report more sales in the vicinity of
the Boulevard addition than in any
other section. This movement was
given a new impetus recently when
Hers First addition was plated and
placed on the market, all but a few
of the lots being sold imm ediately.
Tenant & Miles and the Her In
vestment company have been extend
ing their building operations in this
section also, each firm erecting two
new bungalows of tasty architecture
and equipped in a modern way
throughout. other building in south
Capitol Hill is being done by John
]. Miller Carrot Brothers, A. l.. Smith
and w. E. Smith. Other recent pur-
chasers in the Boulevard addition
have stated that it was their inten-
ton to build Immediately as also
have those in the Her addition. Build
ers say that plans are being prepared
for at least thirty new residences in
this section now with more to come.
The sales of the Her Investment
company alone will show the unusual
activity that has been taking place
recently in the sections named. Sales
are reported as follows:

MISSOURI PEOPLE
COMING TO YAKIMA
Ranches in the Nachcs Valley and at
Parker Settled BY Old Friends of
Well Known Yakima Folk.

S. II. Coleman of Memphis, Mo-, has
purchased the former Leonard Schott
ranch in Leamingburg and will make
his home there with his family. His
Memphis fl lend, n. :. Pickering, has
purchased a ranch at Parker Bottom,
and with his family will reside there
on. These men are old friends of w.
A. Cox, Frank Spain, w. ID. Walker
and other former Missourians of this
city. There is now a large Memphis
contingent in this valley. Some of
them are in Parker. some in North
Yakima and others in the Cowiche.
The latest arrivals say that a change
is coming over the country. The old
stock in their section, made up origi-
nally of settlers from Kentucky an the
frontier, are giving way before the in
fuX of people from Illinois and In
diana and other neighboring states.
The character of the population, they
say, is changing and the real Missouri
ans are to be found in this state, in
Colorado and in other sections, while
the old state itself is being settled by
newcomers. There is every prospect
of a speedy Missouri reunion in North
Yakima.
