our citizens of all ages have visited
for the first time that charming re-
treat, very few of whom have not
been overwhelmed with the beauty
and grandeur surrounding that whole
region, and filed with wonder and
amazement that such great posi-
bilities should have been SO long
neglected. They have exclaimed,
why was not this place chosen for
the capital city instead of Honolulu?
Tho answer is easily made and quick.

harbor second to hardly any other in
the world, deep enough and large
enough tv float the navies of all ma
tions, was designed by the Great
Creator, to be accessible only when
man should unlock its pearly gates
with the key of industry and enter
prise. In the meanwhile n railway
will connect Honolulu with the site
which nature has fashioned and des-
tined to be not merely rival city,
but the Paris of the western
world. Those who have not
taken the wings of thought and
explored the possible future of
this most interesting country, little
realize the value and Importance of
the railway enterprise now success
fully inaugurated, will be to the city
of Honolulu. The urgent necessity
for such an enterprise would seem to
be guarantee for its financial sue
cess without the assurance which is
fully given in the railway statistics
of all other countries. Confidence in
the financial soundness and stability
OF the undertaking has doubtless led
many to subscribe, but we wish to
give investors credit for having an
earnest, honest desire to benefit the
country, from public spirited mo-
tive, especially the Island of Oahu,
and particularly the city of Homo
lulu. Would you improve business
in Honolulu? then build up the SUBJ
urbs, and you will learn the secret
which has made all large cities in
America so prosperous. If anything
will insure the growth and prosper
ity of Honolulu, it will be to bring all
points of the island within easy reach
