teen years assistant chief engineer of
the Pennsylvania system, and who con-
structed the coal and ore docks at
Erie, Pa, will reach Hilo December 8
and will at once commence the lOca-
ton Of the line. As soon as this Sec
ton, which will be several miles In
length, Is located and approved by the
Government, construction gangs will
be set at work. This should not be
later than March ], and the whole line
will be completed In eighteen months
from the commencement Of construc-

men that may be required.
I made q brief visit to Washington

Mr.. Browne Is now in the East ar

ports this Is the cheaper method. Ties
will be shipped the same way.
Labor will be both American and
Japanese. and, as said before, will be
shipped In to any amount requisite to
complete the work in the specified
time. As to steamship connections

to leave that to local companies, II
