ADVERTISE THE COUNTRY.

for Monterey.

for Monterey.
By the Zealandia's mail Jules Taver.
nler received a request from Mr.. James
Ashbury of Brighton, England, for d
picture of Halemaumau for Lady Bras
sey's consideration. A picture will prob
ably be sent by the next steamer. Dur
ing his nine or ten months soiourn on
these Islands Mr.. Tavernier has placed
pictures of the volcanoes of Kilauea,
Haleakala, Halemaumau and Maunaloa
in several parts of England, Australia,
Japan, China, California, New York,
Chicago, Louisville, New Orleans and
elsewhere. The veteran artist, Furneaux,
has also distributed his Island views
broadcast over the world; while the able
efforts, in this direction, of Mr. and Mrs
j. D. Strong have also been highly APP
preciated both here and abroad.
This method of advertising our attrac-
tons abroad, especially when aided by
competent pens, is very solid and last
ing one, for it increases our tourist travel
and places many dollar in the Golfers of
all classes, from the steamship owners to
the native flower-girls and barefooted
urchins. In course of time it will also
lead to subdivision of ranches and stimu-
late white immigration.
In the persistent advertising of their
charms and resources lies the future
prosperity of the Hawaiian Islands.
Much has been done, but not yet
enough, or in the right direction. In
the development of tourist travel Mon
terey, that queen of California watering
places, is living example of the profits
of advertising. Some ten years or SO
ago Monterey was only little village,
shOrn of it's honors and almost OF life
itself, quietly sleeping on the shores of
its beautiful bay, and but rarely visited
except by a chance tourist. A little
band of Bohemians-ar artists and writer's
dropped into it, saw it's merits and an
nounced them. The pioneers of that
little colony were Tavernier, Paul Frenz-
eny, Julian Rix, Joe d. Strong, Miss
Belle Osborne (Mrs. Strong), Miss Lizzie
Strong, Walter Paris, Dan O'Connel,
Horace Wright, Geo. w. Phelps, D. J.
McRoberts, Ed Bosqui, Emmett E.
Curtis, Manuel r. Merritt and Harry
V. Moorehouse. Soon came Hill,
Denny, Keith, Yelland, Hamilton,
Coulter, Harrison, Strauss, Nellie
Hops, Jules Pages, Marriott, Won
Perbandt, Rouillier and other artists,
and among the laborers with the pen
Charles Warren Stoddard, Fred Somers,
Mrs. Frank Unger, Major Ben Tru-
man, Mrs. Austin Betsy b., and
other well-known writer's. Monterey be-
came famous through brush and pen,
and in spite of all obstacles of local land
litigation, rapidly succeeded in sequence
the railroad, Pacific Grove, the Hotel del
Monte and thousands of visitors from all
parts of the world. (By the way, the
worldwide distributed cartoon of the
Hotel del Monte and Monterey scenery
is the handiwork of Jules Tavernier and
Edward Bosqui.) As with the discov-
erers of gold, the only ones to "get left"
in Monterey's onward march were the
early colonists, the later corners reaped |
the rewards of the prospectors and
'panned out" all the gold. The build |
ers built and the capitalists captured the |
