nonhle.Tracking Southern Railway.

The Southern Railway Company has
a large engineering force at work sur
veying the line between Orange Court
house and Atlanta. The next piece of
double-tracking to be done by the system
after the work shall have been completed
to Orange, will be between Charlotte
and Greensboro, n. G. A surveying
corps has been sent there, and the work
outlining the Improvements to I've made
will soon be completed. As soon as
the contract is awarded for this work,
another stretch Of track will be sur
viewed. and the second track put down.
President Spencer says the entire road
between Alexandria and Atlanta will be
double-tracked. The work Of double
tracking the division between Alexan-
dria and Orange is well under way, and
the 8. 900 men will have it finished by
the ist of October. The Charlotte
Greensboro division will then be taken
M. and as soon as possible thereafter
the two sections will be joined together.
1t is the purpose of the general manage
ment to build number of new stations
along the entire system and increase the
accommodations in that manner. The
sidings will also be increased at several
points. Much new rolling stock Is now ,,,
being received, and heavier engines Will
be used in the passenger service. AS
has heretofore been stated, the yards al
Alexandria will be reconstructed, and a
liberal appropriation for this work has q!
been agreed upon by the board OF di'
rectors. The roundhUuse will be one Of
the largest along the line, and the pres
ent turn-table will be supplanted by al
electric appliance, an innovation in rail
reading. The engines being purchased
end now under delivery to the Southern
are of a new design, invented by younl
Cornelius Vanderbilt. They are of
pattern especially adapted to Southern
roads. and will enable the roads usinl
them to handle passenger and frelgh
traffic on scheduled time. The Southern
will have a full complement OF tines
machines in the early fall.

That the Hawaiian Islands are rich
in scenery is not the thing to be said
Of them. The truth is that they are
all scenery, and that of the grandest,
most varied kinds, rivalling any other
spot on the earth's surface. There are
no plain or monotonous areas in this
group. Here one is never apart from
the immediate proximity Of mountain
and ocean in endlessly varied combi-
nations.

Gen. MACARTHUR TALKS
CONTINUED from page L,

such as is proposed for Pearl Harbor.
A fleet taking one of the other islands
would be practically bottled up.' The
result in the end would show this to be
a useless movement"
Col. Mackenzie interrupted to say
that Hilo had practically the only har-
; Dor, but that the Hiloites desired a
nliliion-dollar breakwater. That being
the case, the officers said, when a
breakwater was built, Notifications
there would not be amiss.
Col. Mackenzie spoke of Oahu as
being protected from any attacks on
the windward side by reason of the
range of mountains running the entire
length of the island. There were only
few gaps in the. chain and these We're
easily defended. He stated that the
guarding of the various gaps during
the periods of quarantine which have
been maintained by Honolulu against
other portions of the island, demon
strated how well this side of the island
could be defended. The plains of
Waialua offered the only opportunity
for landing and making an advance
upon the leeward side.
rs it the purpose of the Board to
recommend dotting the Honolulu coast
line with Notifications? was asked.
That cannot be answered now. The
recommendations when made public by
the Department will show what action
has been taken regarding this matter.
Camp Mckinley does not seem to
be a good place for a camp. Yes, it
will probably be abandoned, but of
course not until the new fort has been
established"
1t is rumored that the Army Board
will recommend that a four-company
artillery post be established somewhere
near Kaimuki, and that an infantry
post back of Pearl Harbor be estab-
lished with quarters for complete in
fantry regiment.
General Macarthur, as commander of
the Department of California, will in
spect Camp Mckinley, and will after
wards make a tour of Oahu, as well as
the other islands, looking over the pro-
posed strategic sites.
Gen1 Macarthur went through Ho-
nolulu in 1898 in command of the third
expedition to Manila. He remained
in the Philippines for three years. His
record in the field in the Philippines
was an excellent one, especially when
he was in full command of the forces.
He is not West Pointer, but went
to the front in the Civil War, and rose
to command from the ranks.
