the structure itself, which, it is hoped,
will be completed by January /, 1909.

Company will extend its tracks from
Paia depot to Hamakuapoko, probably
running them alongside those of the
NJ. A. Co. A. Collins and f. B. Sim
cock are the civil engineers now en-
gagged on the survey work at Maliko.

cigars, etc.
