Dredging Contract.
Tho $3.r,GO.UO0 contract for dreduInK
nt I'onrl Harbor, let by tho Navy lto
partment to the Hawaiian DredKlnR
Company, Is but the first of a nerles of
mormons contracts contemplated In
curryliiK out tlio plans for n magnif
icent nnvnl base at this port. Millions
uf dollars will bo expended in the con
structlon of a ilrydock, and other facil
ities for handling ships which need re
pair, nud before tho entire project Is
completed, mi enormous amount of
government money will have, found its
way Into the channels of trade.
In an address at San Francisco, Con
gressman Itlchmond I. Hobsou said:
Lsglcal Stronghold.
"Pearl Harbor will bo logically tho
greatest naval nnd military station In
tlio world, not only for America, but
for tho entlro white race, flack of
Pearl Harbor thcro is a necessity for
developing three representative naval
Matlous on tho Pacific Coast. One In
tho north, ouo at Mare Island and nno
at San Diego."
Tho first Bteps toward tho establish
ment of tho Pearl Harbor Naval sta
tion, whore the surveying and dredg
ing of n siiUnblo ship cnnncl. Tho flritt
part of tho work has already been ac
complished, nnd a 1100-foot ship can
nel, having a minimum depth of thirty
fivo feet, will soon bo an accomplished
fact,
Illds havo already been received at
Washington for tlio supplying of rails
and rolling stock for a railroad on tho
unvol reservation, and construction
work will soon begin.
Great Drydock.
On Tobruary 15, the government will
open bids for the construction of a
froat drydock nt Pearl Harbor. This
drydock will be capable of handling
ships of tbo North Dakota class, ships
of greater slzo and effectiveness than

naught. Though the specifications
hnvo not been made public, It Is und
erstood that thoy contemplato the
rapid complotlnn of tho project.
Following tho construction of tho
ilrydock, or, perhaps, paralleling It,
will come tlio building of ndminlstra-
llon ami other buildlilgs for tho Navnl
Station. Though plans for those struc

U.-S. May Take Right-
Of-Way For Military
Road To Pearl City
Rumor has It that tho United
States Government may condemn n
right-of-way for a military road be
tween Honolulu and Pearl Harbor for
tlio purpose of transporting freight
and heavy nrmament. The verlllcn
Hon of this proposed action by the
authorities cannot be secured at this
date, but tbo 'truth of tho story has
been vouched for unulllrlally.
If such a move is taken by the Gov
ernment It will mean tho expendi
ture of a vast sum of money, not only
In the securing of property for the
roadway but In Its construction also. Articles of Incorporation of tho A.
for It would of necessity bo of the v. Arlelgh Company wcro filed yester
most solid foundation. Thero Is at uay. The corporation purchased tho
present no suitable military road to , business of A. II, Arlelgh & Co. for
