sheridan Will
BE PUT ON RUN
TO THE ISLANDS

According to the schedule OF army
transport sailings recently announced
by the war department., the reserve
transport Sheridan will go into COM
mission at Gnce for two round trips
TO Manila, sailing April in place Of
the Logan, which arrives in San Fran
cisco March 49, ,... ... .s..-.
The Logan will lay over at San
Francisco until June 5, then replacing
the Thomas, which. after similar lay
over of more than two months, will in
turn relieve the Sherman on her ar
rival July Is, allowing her until Oc-
tober ) before sailing again. e. u.
While it is probable that complete
oVerhauling CT these transports is in
tended during the summer. it is pos
sible that the war department has in
contemplation using one or more of
them in the interim for a special trip
to- the islands to transport the addi-
ticnal regiments which Major-general
Carter intimated were likely to be sent
here in the immediate future.

a considerable number of this class.
and with the practically doubling OF
the forces stationed here, the demand
for houses for officers must be cor
respcndingly increased Then there Is
an eyer-increasing number OF tran
sients or. tourists who rent furnished
houses for q portion OF the year. The
increase cf this class in the past few
years has been marked. and there is
every reason to believe that II will
increase steadily, especially with the
opening of the Panama canal and the
consequent increase of traffic tn the
Pacific.
There is an element with money to
invest, say the real estate men. who
will not buy at present under the be-
lief that values are going to slump
badly during the year This belief
does not seem to be justified by facts,
and real estate dealers TO a man dis
agree with this view. They as a
class are optimistic Of the future and
complain only Of the present condi-
tion of stagnation. which some of them
believe is slowly improving.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-03-05

The Honolulu real estate market is
dull but prices of realty continue
stable. and the consensus of opinion
among real estate men is that they
will remain so. Depression in sugar
is responsible in most part for the
iethargy The banks are still not
lending money readily, and this has
some bearing on the situation. A good
deal of money which was formerly
tied up in sugar plantation shares. 1t
is said, has recently been invested in
real estate mortgages, but of actual
buying there has been comparatively
little
Rents have not fallen. and agents
report that there are not great many
vacant houses of desirable character,
that are empty The fact that Homo
lulu is getting a large population
which is not dependent on sugar. and
that this population must steadily in
crease, is the basis for the argument
as to the stability of Honolulu real
estate. 1t is certain that this city will
always have large renting element.

Three Safe Crackers
At Work In Lehi
Work All Day sunday Trying To
Break Open Safe Of state Bank OF
Lehi, Passing Public Unaware OF
the Ycgmen's Presence.

Early Sunday morning three of the
most expert safe crackers In Utah
commenced trying to get into the big
steel safe in which are locked each
night the cash, notes, mortgages and
other securities of the State Bank OF
Lehi They worked so stealthily that
the hundreds of people who came to
the ostoflicc next door for their mail
or , no passed by going to and from
chu ch, did not even know of the ex-
pert presence, or even suspect that
som me was exerting their utmost
ability In trying to get at the valu-
ables of one of Lehi's leading institu-
tons.
But these were not ordinary veg
men They were three Salt Lake City
mechanics who had signed a contract
for $50 to open the safe, because the
time lock, which was turned on Fri
day night at the close of business
failed to open Saturday morning
when Cashier Chapman and his assls.
tant George A. Coates worked for
hours to unlock The bank people
were not incommoded to any great
extent, because the first Interurban
car brought them several sacks of
gold and silver with which to cash
the thousands of dollars In beet
checks that were presented during the
day.
When all local experts failed to
open the safe a contract was entered
into with a Salt Lake firm, who makes
II business TO crack safes that wont
open. This firm agreed to have the
safe open ready for business Monday
morning They tried first the method
of getting the safe out Of the big
vault and turning II up side down
which sometimes causes the bolts to
fall back and permit the door to open.
When this method failed. they com
menced drilling into the door over
the tumblers. All day and all night
tue llItt llltli NOi luih b, DuA
when morning broke they had gone
but about half inch and all their
drills had been used up. A new set
was obtained and Monday morning the
boring was resumed. All day Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday. sixteen
hours per day the men worked, spoil
ing new drill every few minutes,
and net till Thursday were they sue
cessful In getting the hole through the
three inches of super-hardened steel
Even then II took the experts n long
time to hook a wire under the tumb-
lers and get them In position so that
the bolts could be drawn back. BY
method known to experts the drill
cd hole will be filled up and electric
ally treated. so that future ycgmen
will have just as much difficulty In
getting into the safe as those who
spent the past week In doing So

New Bridge Material

Several car loads CT material for
the new steel bridge over Jordan Riy-

A representative OF the Midland
