There is likely to be quite boom il
Punchbowl realty within another year,
when the Territory obtains control Of
all of the large tract of land in the
district now held under lease by the
Kapiolani Estate. The work of sub
dividing the tract has not been fully
completed by the surveyors, but it
is understood that there viii be well
over a thousand lots altogether, OF
approximately so by $50 feet in size
and of the total there will only be
between zoo and 800 persons who will
have preference rights to their homes
under provisions of the amendment to
the organic act.s@~All of the other lots
will be sold by the government al
public auction.
Besides the land now actually oc
cupied, there is a considerable arei
that has never been sub-divided-
some of it very desirable property
and this is certain at attract al
tention, not only of the people of the
district, but of outsiders who will haV
a right to bid, after the preferenct
right people have been satisfied, OF
equal terms with present residents
1t is understood that the lots will b,
sold absolutely, without any home
sstead restrictions, although the pul
chase price may be arranged to be paic
in installments.

SHERMAN HERE FROM MANILA

The U. S. A. r. Sherman was an
early arrival off port this morning
from Manila. Quartermaster Spur
stated that the trip across was a very
quiet one 1t would seem that the only
item of interest was the hourly eX-
pected announcement of an engage
ment between one of the officers and
a lady passenger. Who they were the
officials in the Office preferred to keep
to themselves. They merely stated
that it looked as though the expected
would happen, but at the present stage
no names would be mentioned.
The transport has a very small COM
plement of passengers for here-siX in
the cabins and twenty-one in the steer
age. For San Francisco she is almost
full ship. The first and second
cabins are nearly full, while in the
steerage there are 3S1, made up Of

who has been working on these
claims for many months, has made his
report to the Land Commissioner, and
as soon as this can be reviewed it will
be made public In all there were in
the neighborhood of 1000 claimants
for preferred rights, but many of these
could not substantiate their claims, or
are members of the same family, only
one of whom is entitled to the prop
erty, so that the final results will be
we'll under three hundred.
The Estates Position.
1t is considered unlikely that the
Kapiolani Estate will recede from its
position in the matter of dealing with
individuals with preference rights, and
permit them to pay in advance the
rentals which will ue due during the
next year, and give them a release to
their property, in order that they may
proceed to make such improvements as
they may desire.
In the matter of bonuses, which the
Estate is charging for the renewal OF
leases expiring before the expiration Of
its own lease, some of the Punchbowl
4 ipeople are refusing to come across, and
if evicted will depend upon their al
ready made proof of preference right
to secure them their homes when the
government opens the property next
iyear.

For over a year have been trying

The good news was transmitted yes

Wendt, the agent of the company
here, as soon as he had figured out
the cipher cablegram, and it would be
hard to say which man was the more
pleased. Up to the present, Manila
has only one direct line to Europe, the

no reflections are cast on that con

many wideawake business men in
striving to secure for Manila the Eur

The first vessel is to be the Prince

the steamships will leave Manila

about twenty-five designs submitted

of the work submitted is said to be

ID. p. r. Isenberg, who is a commit

committee of judges to pass upon the
designs, hopes to get his decisions by
tomorrow or next day, although the
Judge may want a longer time, The
general feeling, however, is. that there
will be a selection this time.

Already the whole of the nine cars

TO PUT A SMALL HAWAII IN
THE GREAT FRISCO EXPOSITION

Chairman H. p. Wood, of the Hawai-
ian commissioners of the Panama-Pa-
cifc Exposition, has received a num-
Der Of pencil sketches and designs for
the diarama which has been suggested
as the chief artistic feature of Hawaiis
exhibit at the great San Francisco
show of 1915. The designs are from
Gates * Marange, of New York City,
one of the largest firms engaged in
this line of art work in the world.
MIR. Wood feels confident that a
most attractive exhibit can be worked
out along these lines. 1t is the idea
OF the Commission to devote their
efforts largely towards making an eb-
solutely beautiful eXhibit-not one
along the ordinary cut and dried lines
of exposition exhibits, showing tbs
products of the place, The curios, his
toric data, etc.-but one which will
breath of Hawaii through it's beauty
and suggestiveness, and will create
a desire by appealing to the sense OF
the beautiful in all who come within
it's scope.
To this end it has been suggested
that the central feature be a great Ha-

Can't Make Terms With Colburn.
There is now little prospect that any
settlement, at all will be effected with
the Kapiolani Estate by which the
general lease now he'd by the lcorpor-
alton will be surrendered before the
time of it's expiration, August IS, 1912.
1T has been figured out that the
amount of rentals which the Estate
will receive from the occupiers of the
property during this interval, will be
about $12,0O0," said Hon A. Q. Mar
callino, one of the prominent Punch
bowl residents, this morning. The
tenant will have to pay this amount if
the lease continues till its time of
expiration, and there is no good reason
why they should pay besides this $4,000
more, or any considerable part of this
amount, which the Kapiolani Estate
considers it's konohild labor black

which the residents could not realize

BOOZE MEN
ON CARPET

Two booze dispensers have tripped
up on Jhe laws and regulations of the
Territory, and will consequently line
up on the carpet before the Board Of
License Commissioners at its meeting
next Friday afternoon.
J. p. Medeiros, manager of the Waia-
lua Wine Company, will be required 70
explain certain irregularities connect
ed with his business, and the wholesale
firm of Rosa & Company, Of this city,
are said not to have kept books to the
entire satisfaction of the Inspector,
and in accordance with regulations Of
the Board.
! At the Friday meeting the matter of
granting a license for a saloon in Ka-
kaako will come up for hearing. In
spector Fennell has been engaged in
the past week in checking up the
petitioners who are asking for saloon
in the neighborhood, and also getting
the testimony of all living within a
thousand feet of the proposed loca-
tion. The Inspector states that he is
getting this data as a perfectly dis.
interested party, and that the exact
results of his work will be placed be-
fore the Board for it's guidance, with
out establishment or distortion of any
kind from him. He declines however,
to say how the sentiment appears to be
in the district in question, but it is
well understood that there are a good
many people living here who are salts
fed to have the district remain saloon
less, and are not hesitating to say so.
Although there is real campaign
on in Kakaako, there is no assurance
that saloon will be permitted there
even though there is a majority in the
district in favor of it, for the Board
has the absolute authority in these
matters. Besides the Commissioners
some time ago adoutcd a resolution
against any more saloons within th(
. fire limits, and if they change theil
, minds in this instance, it will be be
cause they think the blind pigs in Ka
/ X f,p are worse than licensed places
