OF the country to be expected from
the railway. They did not need the
opinion of Noble Isenberg or any
other sugar planter, when they had
the evidence of their own senses in
regard to the portion of the line
already built. Property in the Eva
district had advanced from $1,000 to
$4,000. They we're making pro-
visions for the settling of home
steads, but, if the land was not to
be opened up, what object would
there be for settlers? They would
have nothing to put on their backs
without market for the products
of their holdings. Railways had
immeasurably advanced the pros
perity of the United States, and
their promotion here would be fol-
lowed by proportionately great adj
vantages to this kingdom.
Rep. Paehaole thought Noble
Macfarlane was wrong in assuming
that the road was to be built round
Diamond Head under this franchise.
But even if he was right and the
whole 40 miles were to be built, it
must be anticipated that, as soon as
the money has begun to be earned
by the company, the returns will
begin to come to the Government in
| increased taxes. The hon. Noble
was inconsistent and insincere in
charging the committee with neglect
of duty, it was only a pretext for
defeating the bill as he evidently
wished to be done.
Noble Macfarlane said he had
worked and voted against indefinite
ly postponing the bill. He was in
favor of this section, only he wanted
it amended.
Noble Baldwin felt that the men,
bers from the other islands had not
been afforded sufficient information
regarding the lands along the pro-
jected line. He had general idea
that it would open up a considerable
extent of fertile land and be great
benefit to this island. He believed
they should support this company
with good and liberal subsidy.
They had stuck to the enterprise
with great pluck and tenacity. The
people of this country were apt to
settle down into an easy-going style,
and become content with the goat
paths of their fathers. If anybody
had said, when the reciprocity treaty
went into force, that they would see
the large number of steamers in our
waters now seen, he would be laugh
ed at. Similarly, he believed the
amount of produce that would be
brought to market by this railway
would surprise people. He dis
agreed with the calculations of No
BILE Macfarlane, as, by the amend.
ment, the annual cost to the coun.
try would not be much greater thar
was involved in paying $4,000 mile
for completed track.
Rep. Kahookano supported the
section as ia the bill.
Noble Walbridge wanted fuller
explanation of the section, and sew
eral members rendered written anc
verbal explanations. He moved tn,
previous question, which carried.
