THE DAILY
HAWAIIAN NEWS SUMMARY.
SATURDAY,

The month of July has shown
gratifying amount of material pro-
gress, both under the auspices of
Government and by means of private
enterprise. A number of important
schemes have been projected, several
large undertakings have been con-
solidated and others are being
rapidly brought into shape; while
some have been completed during
the month.
Among the most important works
now in process of rapid construction,
is the Oahu railway to Pearl Harbor,
which is already approaching COM
pletion, SO far as grading is con-
cerned. Eleven miles of this line
will have the grading completed in
two weeks; and of this length ten
miles are already finished. The
material for the bridges is already
on the ground, and the work of driv-
ing the piles has been begun at the
larger estuaries of Kalihi and
Moanalua. A few of the bridges on
this line will be of considerable
length; but, with the present energy
being displayed, only a short time
will elapse before the gaps in the
line will all disappear. Many of the
smaller bridges culverts or have
been already built. There will be
altogether twenty bridges between
Honolulu and Eva, of various
lengths-from 16 to 300 feet, with an
aggregate length of 1850 feet.
Plans have been approved by
which the main depot will be placed
$50 feet from King street in what is
now fsh-pond dividing Oahu
Prison from the royal stables. A
large portion, if not all, of this ex-
tensive fsh-pond will be filed in
without delay, and this substantial
and eligible building ground, artif-
cially formed, will become of great
value by close proximity to the main
depot buildings. The depot itself
will be Of imposing size and made as
ornamental in appearance as conve
nience and traffic requirements will
allow. The grading of the whole
division of this line, twelve miles,
will be completed within the next
month; and the laying of the rails
will commence Immediately upon
their arrival by the bark Deutschland
now nearly due from Germany. The
progress of this important work
has been SO rapid during the
month of July that we give it first
place among the works in progress
during the past month.
Among the important works com
pleted are the tramcar lines of the
Hawaiian Tramway Co., which run
through five of the principal ave-
nues of this city. These aggregate
q total of twelve miles completed |
and in running order. Twelve cars
ran on these lines continuously |

been added in July, and it is not an
over-estimate to say that about
10000 passengers per week are now
being carried by this local means of |
travel. On some of the lines an
average of $31 per car each day is
realized in fares; and the benefit to
the community; both directly and
indirectly, is correspondingly large.
Waikiki and Palama have been
brought within the residence district
of Honolulu by these tramways, and
building allotments and properties
in the suburbs have an enhanced
value in consequence.
The streets of the city have also
undergone some improvements dur
ing the past month; and labor has
now full employment in most of it's
departments. Buildings are not going
up so rapidly as the past months
progress would warrant; but still,
there are a number of these being
erected, and improvements and addi-
ton to buildings already built are
being plentifully made.
The ground for the new market is
being prepared; and the large area
upon which the building will stand,
near the Pacific mail wharf, has
been made level and supplied with
means of drainage to the waters of
the harbor.
The new drive up Punchbowl Hill
is approaching completion, and bids
fair to become one of the most beau
tiful and interesting roadways in
the kingdom. It leads to an ele-
waited plateau 500 feet above the
ocean which, as pleasant retreat in
summer, has no equal around Homo
lulu, SO far at least as climate and
commanding views are concerned.
Very much more attention is given
to suburban sites for residence pur
poses than formerly; and building
allotments adjoining this drive, no
matter how angular, are sure to be
utilized.
The ocean cable project has now
assumed shape, in a wealthy syndi-
cate having been formed and iucor-
porated with a capital of one million
dollars, with power to increase to ten
millions.
The past month has been devoted
in greater degree to sports that al
any former period of Island history.
Regattas, baseball matches and
other athletic sports have been com
mon and accompanied by the usual
displays of enthusiasm on the part
of the public.
In concluding the Honolulu por
ton of this summary we may note
that the health of the people is good
and that accidents involving loss Of
life have been very few, if any, dur
ing the month.
In other parts of the group there
are few works in progress, and
among others is the wagon road tc
the Volcano which has now beer
graded through very difficult sec
ton, the lower woods. This road
which was begun only few months
ago, has now reached point about
seven miles from Hilo, nearly 6
quarter of its entire length-301
miles.
The Hilo and Hamakua railroad
project is again being talked of, and
will continue to be agitated until
that line of about forty miles will be
taken hold of by a syndicate. There
are also other railroad projects
spoken of.
Inter-island steam navigation is
we learn, to be increased soon by the
addition of large and fast boat
and more steamers will in the near
future be required.

NEW YEAR DANCE.

The Fireman's Band Concert and
Dance which took place at the Opera
Hall New Years night was largely
attended. Dana's Silver Cornet Band
of Wausau, whose reputation for excel
lency is known throughout the state,
furnished the music. Several choice
selections were rendered prior to the
dance. The evening was very enjoyable
and all those who attened were well
pleased with the concert. Most every
body staid to look on and see them
dance or take part in the exercise.
The ladies of the Catholic Church
furnished an elegant supper in John
Berard's building which was heartily
relished. The fire company will net
nice little sum from the proceeds as
well as the church society.

A HAPPY COUPLE.

The New Year will chronicle new
life for one of Centralia's promising
young business men in the person of
@. NJ Hill, who has been a resident of
that city for many years. He was clerk
III F. Garrison's general merchandise
store for several years where he gained
a wide reputation for honesty and integ-
rity and won warm place in the hearts
of the people. He is now the junior
partner in the strongest merchantile
firm in Wood County, that of Johnson
Hill & Co. His friends are legion III
this section of the county and the WooD
COUNTY REPORTER joins them in wishing
him not only happy New Year but
long and prosperous life. He was
united in marriage on Tuesday after
noon January 1st 1889, to Miss Eva Bell,
who resides in the town of Seneca. We
are not personally acquainted with the
young lady but we understand she is a
charming young lady fully deserving
the man of her choice.

Captain Timme's report as secretary
of state makes a good showing for
Wisconsin. 1t shows that during the
past two years $50, 600 was expended in
preparing the roster of Wisconsin
soldiers; 1924, 900 for farmers institutes;
that $50, 900 were expended in charita-
railroad license for the two years
amounting to 81 ,S32, ,627 a gain of $780,
600 over the two previous yea1s. This
is an item that ax.payers should think
of before they join a wild raid on rail
roads. The report is an unusually
interesting one.

The CentralIa Enterprise in its last
issue contained adeserving compliment
to Wood County's retiring District
Attorney, Mr. J. w. Cochran. We take
pleasure in reproducing it for the bene-
fit of our. readers:
Among the officers who will retire
from the service of the public on the
first Monday in January next, is Mr..
J. w. Cochran, who's has filled the posi-
ton of District Attorney during the
two years last past. In looking over
the report Of hissssofficial transactions,
Mr.. Cochran has just reason for believ
ing that he has served his stewardship
faithfully and well, ,sand we, his constitu-
ents, have reason for cOngratulation in
the record he has left behind him. We
believe bis course as an expense saving
official has been unparalleled in the
history Of the - county. And
while we Fa.are congratulating our
selves on the economy of his admins
tration, we are reminded that there is
our notice, and that is, that the ends Of
justice have been fully met. No guilty
man has escaped. Economy, accom-
panied by an Infringement on justice,
is not economy after all. But when
economy gz.andss..a3 JUST punishment'' for
crimes or misdemeanorS committed can
be happily combined, then it can be
said that the government is well served
in that branch of its government. In
looking over the criminal docket in the
Sheriffs office it will be found that
twelve persons have been committed to
States Prison at Waupun during the two
years of Mr.. Cochran's official career
and that every one of these twelve
criminals entered'a plea of guilty to the
complaint made against. them, .or~~to a
slight amendment to it-one of thems sfor
murder in the first degree, sentenced
| for life. Whether this was due to the
persuasive power xof the prosecuting
attorney, or to his reputation as dead
shot on the right kind Of verdict in
such proceedings, affiant sayeth not.
Mr.. Cochran has had butsone case of
criminal nature in which a trial by
jury was necessary, and that was the
case of the State VS. .ssThomas Horsman,
tried at the last term of the circuit
court The defendant is now serving
out his sentence.
