SUGAR MILLS RISE
SLOWLY IN FORMOsA

Letters received in Honolulu yester.
day per the steamship Asia tell of the
difficulties under which the meager col
ony of Americans is laboring in For
mosa in the erection of the two sugar
mills built by the Honolulu Iron Works
and shipped direct to the big island de-
tendency of Japan. Mr.. Scott, former
" connected with one of Kauai S plan
tations, is in charge of the erection
work, assisted by several Honolulu men,
and nearly all have been laid low with
malaria. The work of construction has
therefore gone on slowly, and it is
feared that owing to outside agencies
which have tended to retard the work
will prevent one mill being ready to
grind in November as anticipated The
mills are located at Ako and Koshiken

COPPER KING
IN HONOLULU
Col. Greene, MuItimiIIionaire
Greets His Wife on
Arrival Here.

Colonel ". c. Greene, the copper
magnate, who short time since was
prodded to hip-poeket action by Mil
lionaire Lawson s series of attacks
upon him and his fnaneiering, arrived
IN Honolulu yesterday on the liner
Asia, accompanied by his daughter and
his physician, DIR. Galbraith, the latter
once resident of Honolulu. But
those days of almost sanguinary oppo-
sition between the two most militant
millionaires in the country have pass
ed away, and Lawson and the Colonel
are now bosom friends
The Copper King and his physician
passed through Honolulu few weeks
since en- route to the Orient, and New
York via Siberia, but on reaching
Hongkong it was learned that the ST.
berian Railway was suffering from
washonts, and this unique trip was
abandoned. Then the Colonel decided
to cut out the globe trip and returns
to the United States direct. He was
met by Mrs. Greene yesterday, she hav-
ing arrived here from the Coast on Fri
day on the Alameda. The presence of
Mrs. Greene on the Hackfeld dock was
pleasant surprise to Miss Greene, who
knew nothing of this plan, arranged
by cable.
After visiting the Colonel s great
copper properties in Mexico, he will
go north to Dakota, where he has do
main of several hundred thousand acres
of grazing and mineral lands. on which
is a herd of buffalox, the product of a
cross of the buffalo and polled Angus
cattle. The Colonel will go cunning
for couple of specimens, and will
then go into Montana on an elk hunt
Many, many years ago, when Colonel
Greene was young man, he was
member of the Texas Rangers, and he
chased buffalo over the plains, and
prospected for silver and gold. and did
odd jobs until finally he struck pay
ore, and the money he got out of the
streak he put into other mines and
generally lost it all. But gradually the
system paid and then he began to
climb the financial ladder and is now
worth probably $35,OOO,000 and con
trolls capital of probably three times
as much.

OUR STUPENDoUs RAILROAD
SYSTEM.

The railroad system of the United
States outranks in mileage and bust
ness all the other railroads of the worlt
in much the same way as the shipping
industry of Great Britain overtops thai
! of every other maritime nation; and il
we were asked to indicate that specia1
sphere of industrial activity in which
this country has achieved it's most
marked and individual success we would
select our wonderful system of rail
roads. The latest statistics for the wear
; 1906, as given in Poor IS Manual, show
that the rate of growth is steadily
maintained therein, rejecting the wide
spread prosperity which the country is
now enjoying.
The total number of miles of railroad
under operation is 22O,633, an increase
of 5000 miles in the year, and on these
roads there were carried over SIS mil
lion passengers and 1910 million tons
Of freight, the corresponding earnings
being on passenger traffic $50 million
dollars and on freight traffic 1850 mil
lion dollars. Adding to these totals
other sources of revenue we reach a
total of gross traffic earnings for the
past year of 2347 million dollars, and
the net earnings on this business
amounted to 100 million dollars Adding
other receipts, a total available revenue
was shown of $50 million dollars This
represents an increase in 1906 over 1905
of. over 234 million dollars, or more than
II per cent.
The operation of the system called
for the service of 55,439 locomotives,
SO, 800 passenger cars, 1925 baggage
and mail cars, etc, and 1,979,667
freight cars, making total of over
two million recommending cars.
Equally large are the figures represent
ing the financial liabilities The capt
tai stock amounting to over 7106 mil
lion dollars, the bonded debt is 1851
million dollars, and other liabilities
bringing up the total to the enormous
sum of IL ,534 million dollars. Of the
assets 12,719 million dollars represent
the cost of the railroads and equip
ment, and 2544 million dollars in stocks
and bonds owned.
1t is of considerable interest to trace
the growth of the system by decades.
Thus, in 1881, there were 130,455 miles
of track, about 10000 locomotives, and
667. 21S cars. In 1891 there were 214,-
529 miles of track, 1868 locomotives
and 1,194,130 cars. In 1901, the track
mileage had risen to 100000 on which
there were at work about 10000 loco%4
motives, and 1,455, 2S3 cars, while in
1906 the total miles of track, the track
in these figures represeting actual mile
age of single track. 307 900 miles, with,
as we have seen above, 5,439 locomo-
tives and over two million cars.
In view of the present anti-railroad
in this country and the hos
tile spirit which is undoubtedly mani
Testing itself with increasing emphasis,
it is notable that the average interest
rate on railroad bonds, during 1906 was
8 90 per cent, and the average dividend
rate on all railroad stock was 1853 per
cent. These low average rates of CAPT
tai invested in the railroad are highly
instructive as bearing on the question
of the reasonableness of railroad rates
in this country.
