TOURIST TRAVEL.

Secretary H. p Wood, of the Pro

couragingly of the tourist situation
and outlook. He says: IF two years
ago we had had as. many tourists in
the winter as we are having this
summer, we would have considere
ourselves as doing wonderfully well.
The outlook for the future is extreme
ly bright, and 1 feel assured that Ho-
nolulu will have twice as many Wis
itors this winter as ever before. The
tide has now set in in our direction,
and it will enlarge in volume as time
goes on"
The increase of. travel is the natu-
raj result of the untiring industry of
the Promotion Committee. With the
enormously enlarged interest thus
created, however, has come a food
of new responsibilities for the man
behind at the Promotion Commit
tees headquarters. Letters by the

NO STEEL BRIDGES.

l.. A. Thurston, who returned Sat
urday morning from Hilo, reports a
decision to use concrete culverts on
the new Hilo railway line in lieu of
steel bridges. Under all of the old
surveys and plans, about sixteen steel
bridges wer called for between Hilo
and Hakalau By the use of concrete
culverts, all of these bridges may be
done away with and the same object
accomplished. Besides it will be
safer and cheaper.
The initial point of this extension
will be at the foot of Waianuenue
street. near the old postoffice, whence
it will cross the river in a direct line
over a steel bridge ON concrete piers.
The line will run through Puueo and
then strike out across the country. 1t
is a rough district, and the road bed
will not be established without great
trouble and expense. However, rich
lands are to be tapped and an enor-
nous traffic is promised for the new
branch. A. A. Wilson, who built some

Chiyo Maru on September 20 for the
Orient. He has been granted vaca-
ton and will spend the time looking
over the Far East.
1t is learned that while the govern
ment at Washington will interpose no
objection to the project of bringing in
field laborers from Siberia, very strict
watch will be kept on such immigra-
ton to prevent the importation of I'M
desirable persons. In reserving the
right to pass upon the eligibility of the
individual immigrant to a landing, the
department seems to hold that the
spirit of the law will have been COM
