Minister Alexander Young speaking
If the new Diamond Head road this
morning said: II, OF course, recon-
mend the beach road. One reason fo.
this is that the country over which the
upper road runs would make 1t eXpen-
sive and even dangerous in some
places. The angle Of the natural slope
is, in some places, as great as 10 de-
srecs; consequently to make road
would require cut on one side 40 feet
leep. From this great height over
hanging the road material would be
constantly detaching itself and falling
upon the roadway. Again. the fills, as
well as the cuts, will be very deep in
some places and will require great
masses Of material to fill up with, mas
much as the slope Of the fills will have
TO take the limited angle Of resistance.
This would probably be about 80 de-
grees from the horizontal line.
Now that the upper road will be the
best from the scenic standpoint there
can be no question. But on the beach
road, which would probably be in most
places ten or twelve feet above high
tide, q person can see far enough sea-
ward for all practical purposes. The
upper road would simply extend the
horizon little farther. The construc-
ton of the lower road will be moder-
ate In cost and can be made of per-
manent nature, without fear OF distur-
bance by the sea. Again, when Dia-
mond Head has been rounded, the road
will lead through a tract Of valuable
land, from which branches may lead
towards the seashore and towards the
hill slope, passing through Govern
ment land and joining one Of the roads
through the Gear, Lansing & CO.. tract
on the Kapahulu road near the Kapio-
lani Park. The main road will pro-
coed over an even country most OF 1t
good land, where artesian wells could
be easily sunk, thence joining Paul
Isenberg's new road which runs into
the Waialae road. Thence the return
could be made by the Waialae road to
either the Kapahulu road or Beretania
street.
III the upper road is swung around
on the line laid out by Mr.. Bruner, not
only will large sum need to be spent
for construction, but the road will not
open up the territory necessary In that
locality. Therefore l strongly recon-
mend the beach road. have no per-
sonal interest In the matter, but have

People who went down the road on

improvements made in connection with
the Oahu Sugar Co. during the quaran-

out in directions that are bound to re-
suit most advantageously to the plan

1t will be remembered that n short
time since, a long lease Of Ford's ISL
and and the II peninsula was obtained
from the ii Estate.
The trees have been entirely cleared
from the former place and now, where
the only activity was the flight of birds
to and fro, steam plows and Japanese
laborers are to be seen hard at work.
Sixty acres of cane were planted dur
ing the quarantine, couple Of months
ago and this is now doing as we'll as
the cane on the plantation proper
which, as everyone knows, Is the best
that can be found anywhere.
Two steam plows are now busily en-
gagged In the work Of preparing more
land for the planting of cane. At a
rough estimate, 1t Is calculated that
the plantation will be able to get near
ly six hundred acres OF fine cane land
out Of the island.
For irrigation purposes, two wells
with excellent flows have already been
sunk and another Is now boring.

Japanese under hustling lunas who
