NEW DEPARTURE OF THE OAHU
RAILROAD co.
Fine Machinery Ordered Abroad-A
New ndustry-Progress of the
Work Now in Hand.

The Oahu Railway Company will
make no more purchases of cars
abroad, but will in the future manu-
facture its own rolling stock, even 10
its finest passenger coaches. The nee.
essary machinery has already been
ordered abroad, and work has been
commenced on the new shops and car
houses that are necessary to house the
machinery. The new industry will
mean the employment of a large num-
Der of men and great saving to the
company.
Said General Manager Dillingham;
this morning: 1--WE have ascertained
that with the right sort of machinery
we can build cars of three times of
value of those we purchase abroad at
the same cost. We have been max.
ing our box ears and fat cars for some
time at great saving. but now we
propose to make everything in the
way of rolling stock, even to our par
lor ears. The necessary machinery
will likely be here early in the new
year, and by the time it arrives, the
buildings will be in readiness to re-
ceive it.
The round house is being enlarged.
SD as 10 accommodate lne three new
engines now on the way from New
York. These engines are larger than
those now in use. and will be put In
use as soon as the new extension to
Waialua is opened.
Nearly every vessel that arrives
brings some of the new equipment of
the road. The Pfiuger brought five
miles of new track from England, and
seventeen miles more of steel rails
are expected within the next few
weeks. A great deal of the lumber
needed is already on the ground, to-
gether with large number of ties.
The grading work is progressing very
satisfactorily.
The car shops have recently turned
out a new fiat car that will greatly
facilitate the handling of sugar. It
is so constructed that a tarpau1in
thrown over the car when loaded will
make it safe in wet weather. The
floor is so arranged that the whole
| load can be dumped at the warehouse
| in almost less time than it takes to
tell it.

WHAT SAILOR MEN TAK0 HAWAII HAS GOOD ROADS
But PEOPLE DO NOT APPRECIATE
THE FACT.
Road Engineer Drummer Discusses the
Island Almost Completed.

The Government has done an enor-
nous amout of needful road work this
year on Hawaii and Maui. said Engin-
eed Drummer, at the Arlington last
night. But the people up there do
not seem to appreciate it, nor the peo-
pie down here to understand it,"
Mr. Brunner arrived on the Mauna
Loa from the big island yesterday and
will spend a week or so in town In
spectiDg the new Pail road and at
tending to some other government
business. He has had a very busy
summer of it. as the Government has
in hand on Maui and Hawaii a large
amount of road work that must be
pushed to completion before the hea-
Wy rains set in.
"A great deal of fuss has been made
over the new Pail road" the engineer
resumed, but | do not eXaggerate
when | say that the Pail road is not
in it with some that we are building
on Hawaii. Why we have miles and
miles of such road, and the papers say
nothing about it. Some of the peo-
pie on Hawaii are commencing to
appreciate the work being done there,
but they are SLOW, and dare say that
the majority of them think that the
money might be spent to better ad-
vantage.
"Never before has there been such
boom in road work as there has
been this year. By the first of the
new year we shall have completed the
circuit of Hawaii. with the exception
of about thirty-five miles of compara-
lively easy road. When I speak of
! roads being completed, | mean good,
| substantial roads-roads over which
you can travel on your bicycle as well
as in your cart.
by the first of the year we shall
| have a fair wagon road right into the
heart of the Puma district. 1t com
mences from the nine mile post on the
Volcano road, and runs back sixteen
miles. Seven miles of this road is al
ready completed. Work is progressing
nicely on the other nine miles now. 1t
| is through a lava bed. and not easy
work. This road will open up some
very fine coffee lands.
1--WE have built thirty miles of ex-
cellent road in Kona during the past
! twelve months. eighteen miles in Ko-
haa. six miles of the Laupahoehoe
road. the Hakalau road and n great
deal about Hilo. The Laupahoehoe
prOpoSltloIl' as you perhaps KNOW, IS
a pretty hard one. The Pail looks al
most easy ALONGSIDE of it. I tell you
| the people of Hawaii have reason to
! feel proud of their road system. The
work has all been done by contract,
and in fact that is the only way 1t
could be done properly. The roads
will omen up the country. make the
! land already cleared more valuable,
and will render social life among the
! planters possible"
