Two 3OO-tOl SG0VS Built for
Use Here.
AN OAHU RAILWAY CONTRACT
Copper Sheathed - Soon 20 be
Launched-Consul Haywood's
Plan for Carrying Coal.

The Oahu Railway * Land Co. is al
present engaged in the construction OF
TWO large scows for the United States
Government They are nearly COM
pleted and will probably be launched
next week. IL has not been fully de-
cided yet as 10 who will have the
honor OF christening these scows. and
whether or not champagne will be
spilled over their sides.
The contract was given a few weeks
ago and the way that the Railway
Company happened TO get IL was :his:
Some time ago J. \. Hughes, foreman
of the car shops OF the railroad, built
a couple of scows for the use OF the
company. When Consul Haywood saw
these he decided that they were just
the thing wanted for coaling United
States ships. As a result he placed n
contract in the hands OF the railroad
people.
The scows are to be larger than any
thing in the line hitherto built here.
They will be 30 feet long and IS feet
wide. They will be sheathed entirely
with copper, and the cost of each is
considerable. They will be used for
carrying coal and each will have n
capacity of over 500 tons.
That they were badly needed by the
United States Government was shown
by the length of time 1t took to coal
the Oregon when here, all on account
OF lack of proper facilities. The new
seows will be towed by the United
States tug Iroquois.
