MARINE

The Observation-Disclosures Steamship
Company has large plans ahead and
evidently intends keeping in the lead
OF the times. 1t is stated unofficiany
that there is a prospect of another
railroad across the Mexican isthmus.
and the increasing business of the
American Hawaiian Steamship Com
pany is already taxing the capacity of
the Tehuantepec road. which has a
contract for freight Of the American
Hawaiian boats. Plans are being con-
sidered for increasing the facilities,
for II will not be long before the pres
ent road will be unable to handle all
the cargo offering. Most of Hawaii s
sugar crop is transported by this line,
which is fed by the Americana Hawai-
ian steamships. The company is now
delivering New York freight at San
Francisco in twenty-six days and at
Tacoma in thirty-five days or less, and
is certain to build up a larger trade
in both the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans

Johnny arrived In the early after

grandmother. who lived most simply,
told him to run out In the pantry and
set q bowl OF milk which she had
left there "for a hungry boy"
A moment later she followed him

Of paint and 6 days labor; $l015 for
