MORE TRACK TO Be LAID
Paia VIII Have Ten Miles of Road
to Fields at Kailua--New
Depot Building.
Especial Correspondence

WAILUKU. Maui, August 1I.-Pioneer
plantation is about to have laid twenty
miles more of railroad track, running
from Lahaina near the sea to Kaanapali,
thence mauka and back to Lahaina. The
line Of course will have quite a number
of branches and will be used to convey
sugar cane. to the mill The survey of
the road has already been made and
atcut one mile has been properly staked
of. Messrs. Hugh Howell and John VIII
sor have the contract to build the rail-
road.
Mr.. Howell arrived on the 4th I'm La
haina TO superintend the work. Wilson
Is OF the firm of Whitehouse and Wilson,
and Howell has been employed as gov
eminent surveyor at Hama. The Pho
heer plantation Is very large sugar
estate and Is constantly increasing its
cultivated area. Manager Barkhousen is
now planting the land half way to OIo-
walu, from the sea to about $50 feet ele-
walton.
1t IS stated that the intention is to plant
close up TO the Olowalu boundary and
also to put under cultivation that very
dry and seemingly most barren stretch
of country now implanted between La
rama and Olowalu. When all this shall
DC accomplished, the adjective immense
can be most fittingly applied to the ter
ritory of Pioneer plantation.
The cane of Maunalei, Lanai. and of
the American Sugar Company, Molokai
IS TO be ground at Lahaina Next week
ala plantation win begin the erection
of new Office. The building will stand
one the site of the present office struc-
;ure and VIII include a new store twen-
ty-six by thirty feet. a post Office room,
spacious office, and the managers
private office. The store, the post office
and the plantation company's office will
all front the street and will have We
randa. The store will be adjacent to and

nave a railroad engine and will lay ten
miles of track to their fields at Kailua
in Makawao mauka of the Spreckelsville
lands. Kahului Railroad Company will

present sugar-crop. After this crop is
taken OF permanent depot will be con-
structed near the Paia mill and the road
extended to Hamakuapoko. To make the
proposed change of depots and tracks
now would involve too much labor and
expense.

thanking his Republican friends for
the cordial welcome rendered to him.

reminiscent account of his journey.

unite in giving the Hawaiian delegates
a good time. He spoke with enthu-
siasm of his reception at the White
House by President Mckinley, and
sketched many other interesting events

Mr. Balfour Speaks at Luncheon in

Mr. Balfour Srcaksat Luncheon in
" M:n,cllcsicr
LONDON, Jan. 1o.-ti. J. Balfour, the
government leader, in the House of Com
mons, at a luncheon given in Manchester
this afternoon, made a speech in which he
rcpudiated the accusation that he was a
thick and thin supporter of the War
Office" He declared that even IL all angel
from heaven told him that 1t was possible
in a great war to carry out everything as
written out on paper. he should know
E that the angel was drawing upon his
Imagination.
1t was not true. he added. that the War
Office had sent the British army into the
field with guns which placed them at a
hopeless disadvantage with their enemies.
He made the claim that. the system was
perfect. but the critics ought not TO ignore
the extraordinary military problems OF Tie
present war, between which and the prob
lens with which continental hetd4uar-
tors staifs had to deal, there was no.
s.aralie,. For the first time in the history
of the world the country had to meet an
enemy entirely mounted and it was true
that If Great Britain had entcredSinto the
war with a vast number of mounted, SOL
dieIs, it would have long before been con-
Guided. Hereafter also. it would be recos-
nizcd that guns were not as mobile as
horse soldiers and that field artillery must
be made part of the regular equipment
of every army. But seeing that the Brit
ish War Office had not Jagged behind the
best military opinion of to-day. it was
lulcrous to charge il was with want OF
Dreciseness He was sure justice would
be- done in due time to the administrative
system of the army. The last thing INC
government desired was any undue COIL
cealment of unpleasant facts.
