Work has been progressing rapidly at
the factory during the week. The large
well, forty-ive feet in circumference,
has been completed, in which the water
is now twelve feet deep. The stone
foundation for the boiler and engine
room will be completed to-day, and the
brick layers will m the erection
of the building walls on Monday. About
one hundred and fifty thousand brick
will be required in the construction of
the building, a large number of which
are already upon the ground. While
operations have heretofore been pain
fully slow, it is refreshing to state that
far greater activity is now manifest, and
that the outlook for the completion and
operation of this important plant is now
decidedly more encouraging.

He became q good friend of Mataafa,

that he did no more than his duty in re-

American company began operations.
IL was two years later that an agree
ment was made between the United |

cession Of the harbor Of Pago Pago to
this government for a coaling station.
