NINETY MILLION FEET OF
OH|i CONTRACTED FOR
CONTINUED from Page one,

1--WE viii start the shipments from
Keauhou and Twenty Nine Miles.
and expect early in the year to have
the railroad which we are building 70
connect with the Hilo railroad at
Glenwood completed. It will be about
fifteen miles in length. The ties will
all be handled by the Hilo railroad.
The next work to be done will be MAX
ing a start on the new mill in Puma
and we will also build railroad, con-
Meeting with the main line at Pahoa,
and running some four miles into the
forest eventually. It viii run through
the ohia forests which skirt the koa,
and thus enable US to reach the koa
property easily.
Mr. Faulkner appeared to be very
much pleased with his inspection of
our property and left last night for
the Orient, where he goes to complete
another contract, this time for ties of
Japanese oak. From there he will go
to Australia to inspect forests owned
there by the Santa Fe and will return
to America by way of Scotland.
Yesterday we made a trip to Wa
hiawa In automobiles to show Mr..
Faulkner pineapple country, those I'm
the party besides myself and Mr..
faulkner being E. H. Cant, w. w.
Harris, B. F. Dillingham;, George Den-
ison, L. G. Kellogg and F. E. Thomp-
son. From Wahiawa we went by the
new road just below the dam, across
the CSalbraith property and the Hale
manu- land and, through some fields of
the finest cane ever saw, to Waia-
Ina, striking the Government road be-
tween Manager Goodale's house and
Haleiwa The road is a new one and
perfect for automobiles.
"a special train was waiting for us
at Waialua and we came up as the
guests of Messrs. Dillingham; and Dem
ison. who showed Mr.. Faulkner ohia
ties which had been in place for seven
teen wears and which were still in the
best of condition.
teThe ohia business is only branch |
of our work, as our real product will |
be koa. but at present we have good |
deal to do to handle this big con- |
tract. When we have cleared away |
the ohia. as in many places 1t will
be cleared altogether for cane land
we will reach the koa and our work |
will then start in real earnest. We
are cutting the forest down under the
of Forester Hosmer, and
of this kind is being done |
carefully. The ohia trees that will
make two good ties, that is. that are
over a foot thick, are being used for
this purpose.
I'm regard to price, I do not care
to say exactly what we got and can |
not give you the figures of the cost |
of ohia as compared with white oak.
Their cost is slightly more than the |
cost of ties of Japanese oak, however.
Their quality is so good that Mr.. |
Faulkner was greatly pleased and the |
contract was easily agreed upon.
