PARIS, August 9.-The death of
John w. Gates, the American fnRneier,
has called forth many expressions of
regret not only from his wide circle of
acquaintaIees but from numberless
Parisians, who knew him only as bold
and successful busienss man, but had
been deeply moved by the courageous
struggle which he made against an i'll
ness the fatal outcome Of which had
been feared
All arrangements for the disposition
of the body have been made by Harry
st. Francis Black, president of the
United States Realty and Improvement
Company of New York. Mr.. Black said
that the death of Mr. Gates ought not
to affect the stock market much be-
cause the Rnaneier had not operated
extensively. of late, but was placing
his fortune largely in substantial Sc
ourities. Some Of those here who were
near Mr.. Gates estimate that his estate

than $30,0OO,000.

FINAL settlement
OF LARGE ESTATE
Trust Formed for Ten Years to
Administer Property of the
Late R. A. Lyman.
lMail speclaI to The Advertiser.l


HILo, August 25-Ever since the
death of the late Rufus A. Lyman, who
died intestate in July, 1910, there has
been speculation in Hilo as to what
would be done in regard to the consid-
cradle estate which he left. There was
good deal of disagreement among the
heirs, and for some time it. looked as
if the matter might wind up in the
courts.
The question of the disposition of the
estate has now been settled, for a long
time at least, by the execution Of a
trust deed whereby the First Trust
Company of Hilo is given absolute
charge Of all the property for ten years,
with the obligation that it shall pay the
debts left by Lyman. The value of the
estate is conservatiVely given at a lit
tie over a hundred Thousand dollars,
while the debts referred to aggregate
about seventy thousand dollars
The trust deed is q formidable doeu,
ment of no less than nine typewritten
pages. The agreement Is made between
Henry J. Lyman, Norman X. Lyman,
Richard J. Lyman, David b. Lyman,
Eugene H. Lyman, Clarence K Lyman,
Sarah Lyman and Rnfus A. Lyman, all
of whom are children Of the deceased,
and the First Trust Company.
II is shown that in consideration of
800 those heirs grant to the trust COM
pany for ten years exclusive possession
and fee simple title of the property to
keep it in state of efficiency TO pro.
duee the greatest possible revenue
therefrom, using 1t as If il had legal

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
HILo, August 5,-Gonsiderable in,
terest is being taken just at present
about the. county offices, and by those
citizens who are interested in the prog
ress of the city, in the whereabouts
of the money which the Territory Sc,
cures from the sale Of public property
in Hilo and the vicinity. The disposi-
ton of this money has always been en-
yeloped in more or less of mystery, al
though the territorial administration
has time and time again assured Hilo
that it acted the port of a benefeent
providence, and that when Hilo, 50 to
speak, east her bread upon the waters
by letting go of her public real estate,
she would reap manifold return in
the way of improvements purchased
with the money secured by the Terri
tory from such sales.
This interesting and popular legend
has now been revived by Governor
Frear and the superintendent of public
works In this instance the bait is
being held out in reference to the pro-
posed arBOry site sale, the powers.
that.be laying much stress on their in
tention to spend in Hin, notably for
the purchase Of frontage needed for
the widening of Front street, the pro.
ceeds derived from the sale of the

/ For, say these officials, the money
we receive from the sale Of Hilo prop.

Strange TO say, the county officials
do not appear to be overenthusiastic
over the prospect OF seeing a big wad
of coin come this way. They maintain

II was over this trail in the good

tested the running abilities of their
men by giving them a bag of hot poi

liver the poi still hot. Needless to

The scudder Ascent.
The start was made from the power
house at Wainiha Valley at half.past
six o clock last Tuesday morning, the
party consisting of Doctor Seudder, the
Rev. r. B. Dodge of Wailuku, Rev. r.
=. Smith of the First Methodist Church
of Honolulu, Henry c. Brown of the
Waimea School and the guides. Mr..
Brown had previously engaged a guide
to meet them at the top of Kilohana
and take them into Waimea.
Two and half miles up the valley
at the Manuahma ditch house the real
climb commenced. Back of this several
ridges rise on sharp grade, ending
suddenly, after considerable distance,
at the foot of the Kilohana pail. which
is almost vertical Okazalxi pointed out
a ridge which appeared the hardest to
ascend and stated that the Hawaiians
said this was the old Hawaiian trail.
The party therefore decided to take
that route and neglected seemingly
feasier one. !, On the way to the foot of
the ridge, which rises almost exactly in
, the rear Of the ditch house, the party
heaehed an ancient banana grove which
had been planted by the Hawaiians
when there were four thousand of them
living in this part of the valley, in,
stead of a few score as. at present 10
this grove there is7a slight trail made
by natives who go in to cut bananas
but where the ascent commenced the
trail ended altogether and Okazaki, the
cutter, was put on the job. Staghorn
fern from six to twelve feet high barred
their passage and some idea of the diff
ficulty experienced in forcing a trail
might be gained from the fact that
where the descent can be made in an
hour and a half the ascent took the
Scudder party over seven hours. sQM
