1906. The object was to manufac-
ture and sell, Koa (Hawaiian Maho-
gany) lumber. Operations were commenced
near the Volcano House, Island of Hawaii,
in the forest of Keauhou, temporary cir
cular saw mill erected. and few hundred
thousand feet of Koa lumber cut.
The demand for hardwood ties for use
by the great railroad systems on the main
land caused the company to turn its atten-
ton to the oha forests. Sample ties were
sent forward and tested, and proved 50
satisfactory that the Atchison Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway System entered into con
tract with this company for 100000
cross ties, and $500 sets of switch ties.
This quantity of ties was to be delivered
in equal yearly installments, over period
of five years.
with this contract In hand all effort
was directed to the erection of u saw mil
ut Pahoa, Puma, Hawaii, to MI this CON
tract. A modern saw mill complete in
every respect, with logging camps, stores,
been completed in the last year, and the
first cargo of ties were shipped to San
Francisco on the bark Emily +. Whitney"
which left Hilo Dec. LIST, 1908.
Large quantities of ties for local con
sumption have also been disposed, during
1908. Some small shipments of Ohia lum-
Der have also been made, and 1t is believed
large business In Ohia lumber will de-
veop as soon as the lumber is put on the
market commercially.
The operations at Pahoa, Puma, are now
in such shape that the company has de-
cided to again take up the manufacture
of Koa lumber. Estimates are being OBJ
tanned from leading saw mill manufactur-
ers in the United States, for band saw
mill to be erected in the Keauhou forest
near the Volcano House.
Connection by rail with the Hilo X. Il.
Co.'S line at Glenwood, will be made, en-
abling the company to handle its entire
product from the mill to tidewater by rail.
Koa lumber has been classed as MahO-
gany on account of its fine texture and
grain, and is much In demand by manu-
facturers of furniture and for interior
finishing.
A veneering plant may also be installed
for the manufacture of yeneers, as the Koa
is particularly suited for veneering.
