HE Is MIsINFORMED OR BADLY
REPORTED.
Says $4,OOO,OOO to $4,000 900 Will be Paid
out for Electric Lines in Hawaii
During This Year.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 20.-L
p. Matthews of Cleveland, Ohio, who
arrived from Hawaii several weeks ago
and has been visiting different parts
of the State since that time, left for
Cleveland yesterday. Mr.. Matthews
said yesterday that he is connected
with an Eastern syndicate, which will
construct a number of electric railroad
lines in Hawaii this year at an outlay
of S4,O0O,O0O or. So, 600, 900.
"The islands," Mr.. Matthews explain
ed, ARE to have a veritable railroad
boom. In the near future more than
a million dollars worth of ties and
lumber will be shipped from Puget
jected roads. Plans already perfected
call for the construction of some 80
miles of electric lines. Most of the
roads will be in and around Honolulu
and elsewhere on oahu Island. Ferry
boats will be run between the terminii
of these roads and the various islands.
1.-THE KOhala and HilO Railway Com
pany is one of these enterprises. The
first seCiOn of it is to run from Homo
lulu to Kohala. This company will
build 100 miles of road at a cost of
$2,5OO,000. There is not the least doubt
that the proposed electric lines will
greatly stimulate and simplify the de-
velopment of the islands by putting the
extensive sugar and coffee producing
areas in quick and direct communica-
ton with the commercial communities
of the islands.
