hapS, we made mention in this
column of the enormous
amount of tourist travel that
would pass between the Colo
nies and the United States
this summer and the probable
benefits that would be derived
from it by Honolulu's business
men. Our prophecy has, in
the main, proven correct. The
passenger lists on the through
steamers have been abnormal
ly large and the number Of
dollars that have dropped into
the Golfers of the storekeepers
would be hard to calculate.
The tourist travel may bring
benefits in other ways. The
climate, the tropical plants and
the blight are all objects of
curiosity and people who are
looking tor a quiet peaceable
home are sure to tavorably
consider the land where revolu-
tions occur and a government
can be overturned without
bloodshed. They cannot find
it anywhere else and we may
expect an increase of settlers
from the Colonies. In another
year our streets may be throng-
ed by individuals who habitual-
ly turn up the bottoms of their
trouser legs in rain in imitation
of something the Prince of
Wales did one rainy morning
in London.
The advance in sugar has
added zest to energy of the
sugar men and improvements
and repairs that should have
been made last year will now
90 on. Land which had been
almost abandoned on account
of the low price of the product
will be cultivated and yield five
tons to the acre. We know
this has begun from the orders
we are receiving for our Hen
dry Breakers. Managers who
bought two or three last year
to try, have duplicated their
orders this year; two planta-
tions each have ten. These
little things prove the superb
ority of the Hendry Breaker.
No plow on the islands has its
reputation for strength or
effectiveness and we question
if another could be made to
equal it. If you are a planta-
ton manager and want a
really good breaker, try it.
Through the courtesy OF
Messrs. Hackfeld & co. we
have just set up a steel Aer-
motor in their yard at the
corner of Fort and Queen
streets. We had one there
before and sold it to two differ
ent people before we had time
to take it down. Aermotor
towers of steel are an innova-
ton here but in the short time
they have become popular.
The Aermotor, of course, is
the only windmill recognized
on these islands where wind is
variable and often light. Their
construction is SO perfect that
the least wind operates them.
For the lawn, plantation or
ranch the Aermotor is the
/ cheapest and best known
means Of obtaining a supply
of water. We have them with
fixed or tilting towers, wood
| or steel. The one in Messrs.
Hackfeld & Co.'S, yard is a
tilter.
The Mariposa brought us
advices of the shipment of d
car load of Fischer SteeI
Ranges right from the factory
The peculiar effect of the clim
, ate Of the islands upon metals
prompted US to have this lo1
; of ranges made of steel JUS
twice the thickness of those
g formerly sold by us or by any
/ other dealer in ranges in the
city. Any one with frag
r ment Of brain can understand
that this adds to the life of the
! stove.
! We have greater confidence
in these ranges than we have
ever had before, because a per
5 sonal visit to the factory ir
Indiana last summer enabled
US to get improvements with,
out adding to the expense
