VALUABLE LINES IN HAWAII
Railroad System of Island Pays Hand.
some Dividends to Those VINO
Own the Stock.

Twenty years ago the railway sys-
tenn on the island of Oahu, Hawaii,
had 231a miles of track. Now there
are 127 miles, including plantation
spurs. At first this railroad almost
ruined it's promoters. Now 1t Is one
of the best-paying investments In the
Hawaiian archipelago. The company
owns % locomotives, "A passenger
cars and $40 freight cars. 1t has
$4,000 feet of wharf and can store
10000 tons of sugar. Taxes on prop
erty from Eva to Kahuku plantation,
writes a Honolulu correspondent OF
Commerce Reports, which is tapped
by this railroad, amounted at the time
the road started to s2s.s53; in 1914 the
taxes on the same property totaled
$4,000. This is one example how the
land along the line has increased In
value in the last twenty years. The
railroad paid $S7,324 in taxes in 1914,
which means that every two years the
company pays back to the government
the amount of the subsidy granted to
the railroad, which was S196,9S0. The
gross earnings Of the road twenty
years ago were $4,000, and now they
are S1,3OO,OOO; the freight earnings
were $4,000 and today they are $685.
600; the passenger earnings were
$4,000, and now they are 100000.
Twenty years ago $4,000 passengers
were carried yearly, while in 1914
about 1,140,000 persons patronized the
cars. There were 100000 passengers
carried one mile twenty years ago; in
1914 they numbered .15,435,000. Pas
senger rates show less than two cents
a mile; this is lower than the aver
age rate on the mainland. This rail-
road, which starts in Honolulu, taps
five Of the largest sugar plantations tn
the Hawaiian islands, all the big pine
apple plantations, sisal plantation,
several stock farms and several rice
and banana plantations; skirts the
shores of Pearl harbor, where the
United States government is building
a $2,000,000 naval station and dry
dock, and indirectly taps one large
American army post and one of the
strongest Notifications under the
American flag, Fort Kamehameha.
which guards the entrance to Pearl
harbor. In addition to its commercial
Importance the road opens up some of
the finest scenic features on the island
of Oahu.

SUBMARINES ACTIVITIES
FEATURE OF WAR ITEMS
Destruction of $4,000 Tons Of Allied
Shipping and Many Lives Looms
up as Important Development.

The French steamer Vile de la Cio-
tat, from the Far East for Marseilles
with many passengers, was torpedoed
in the Mediterranean. The loss of life
is estimated at so. The steamer was
said to have been sunk without warn
ing.
Casualties likewise are believed to
have occurred in the torpedoing of the
Belgian steamer Ministre Beernart,
two beat loads Of the crew of which
are said to be unaccounted for.
The activity Of the submarines of
the Teutonic allies is further egidenced
by the fact that within the last few
days they have sent 10 the bottom
British, French and Belgian shipping
amounting to a tonnage of nearly
$4,000.
Should the American citizenship OF
one of the survivors Of the Japanese
steamer Yasaka be established the
sinking of that vessel by submarine,
it is announced from Washington, will
be made the subject of diplomatic ne
