Freight for Schofeld Barracks is now
being delivered into the post direct by
rail, the Oahu Railroad Company S spur
from the main Wahiawa line having
been completed the latter part of last
week. Before the end of the present
week passenger trains will be run to
the post, and much time will be saved
to the garrison by this arrangement.
At present General Passenger Agent
Fred Smith will not run through trains
from Honolulu TO Schofield Barracks.
Passengers will remain on the train
until it reaches Wahiawa The train
will then run back to the spur and then
go to the barracks. This will necessi-
tate about fifteen minutes. Even this
will cut down the time of making a
trip from Wahiawa station to the bar
racks by team of over half an hour.
When the amount of traffic to and from
the post becomes large enough, through
trains will be run directly to the post
Honolulu Girl His Wife.
The wife of Captain A. J. Dougherty,
Thirtieth Infantry, who is passenger
aboard the transport Thomas, is a Ho-

Along before her marriage. Captain
Dougherty was military governor of
Santiago, Cuba, until the recent evacu-
alton. Mrs. Dougherty was met yester-
day morning, on the arrival of the
transport, by members of her family

romance to their marriage, for Miss
Along journeyed to Manila to marry
Lieutenant Dougherty: He has been in
the regular service many years and
reached a captaincy last year.
