for some wears past has had charge of
the savings bank department. This

Turkeys Roost High.
Meat and poultry are scarce and get
ting scarcer-and higher. The Thanks
giving turkey will be on hand as usual,
a shipload of him being on the way,
but it will take a plump pocketbook to

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

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 a great deal of
activity in the real estate market the
past week, no large sales being record

lois 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
