OAHU RAILWAY & LAND co.
Great Development Of the Island Of
Oahu by the Railway.

ten, the name of Benjamin +. Dill
lingham will shine in its pages. A
great philosopher is often quoted 1
as saying that ''the man who makes
two blades of grass grow where but
one grew before, is benefactor of
the human race" Through Mr.. ,
Dillingham; indomitable perse-
verance in promoting railway for
passengers and freight on this isl
and, thousands of acres of what
was once but precarious pasturage
for horses and cattle has blossomed
like the rose with golden sugar
cane. There were but few people
in the land who did not decry his
enthusiasm as wild, to use the mild
est term, but he staked practically
all he possessed upon the project.
And he has won-if not fortune
for himself, the glory of being a
public benefactor in the highest
sense of the wor,l. The results Of
his labors are seen these past five
years in steam rail communication
between the capital and the rich
agricultural lands of the Eva dis
trict, and the splendid haven Of
Pearl Harbor. A magnificent su-
gar plantation has been started in
that district, directly rs the result
Of the opening of the railway. The
Eva plantation produced this year
between six and seven thousand
tons Of sugar from 7S3 acres of
land that. in seasons of drought,
was one of the most arid wastes
upon which human eyes ever
lighted. The railway and irriga-
ton were the artificial factors, en-
terprise aiding nature did the rest.
Even the promise of the railways
further extension caused the start
ing Of the Kahuku plantation on
an equal scale with the Ewa.
The railway is now being ex-
tended to take in the transporta-
non business on the Waihnae anu
