The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1902-10-03

before the people Of the country Is the
desirability u the Islands as a place Of
residence There Is In the United
states now large class Of men who
are small capitalists In a way, men who
have retired from business. They are
people who are seeking some place wish
a more equable climate than they have
been able TO find in the states where
they may quietly spend the remainder
of their lives. Some OF them find a
spot In California. and In fact the ma
jority of the residents OF Southern Cali
fornia come from this class. Some of
them find spots in Florida and other
points Of the South and south west
and If they knew OF the perfection Of
this climate. there would be without
doubt large number of them come
here | have been more than delighted
since my arrival. ! have found the
most pleasant climate and community
of people who for intelligence and So
claI qualities are superior 10 the aver
age community of the mainland. These
facts coming to the knowledge Of men
and women seeking homes could have
no other effect than TO send great num-
bcrs of them here for the purpose Of
spending their days
81 should say that the first thing
would be Cor the people to decide upon
"A Hawaiian house. It would be more
impressive II all the exhibits were made
there without their being distributed
among the many great buildings ana
thus lost to sight There should be dis
plays Of all the industries, and each
should be explained by the means Of
pamphlets and data which could be-
taken away. Relief maps and every
means thai can be devised to give d
correct idea Of the topography of the
islands should be employed
Then too attention should be given
to having corps OF men who would
carefully Explain to every visitor the
Islands ana the industries. The advan-
tages of ai'ertising during the exist
ence Of tho Fair cannot be oyerestimat-
ed. a newspaper man with thorough
knowledge OF the United States and ac-
.quaintance With the men of that bust
ness would be able to secure publication
of more matter with reference to the
Islands, from that center, than II
score of such men were sent about to
the different cities of the country to
try and place matter with reference to
the islands. There will he published a
great amour. of matter from the Fair,
and If advantage Is taken of the oppor-
tunity, there can be no result other
than one favorable from such efforts as
| mention.
THE Importance OF getting to work
must not be overlooked During 1903
there will be constant stream OF WIS.,
ltors to the grounds. The formal open
inc will al al to- %
year, though the actual opening OF the
Fair will BE- delayed for year after
that date. Many of the buildings will
hg n shape FOR visitors. and the many
people who will attend the Association
meet. Cs and the sessions Of the great
orders there will spread the news of
what s 80 be seen. 1t would be of the
greatest advantage If there was
building for Hawaii completed at once
and three or four people kept in it dur
ing the entire summer for the purpose
of explaining 20 visitors the maps and
data which could easily be placed about
the structure.
AS the Fair will continue only dur
ing the months when the weather Is
suitable for such vegetation as grows
mere. ii would be wise to surround the
building with palms and foliage plants,
such as make the islands attractive to
visitors from other climates. i predict
a most successful exposition, and
think there will be the greatest good
come to the islands from the making
of a display which is in keeping with
the Importance of the industries.
"Ot course there will be govern
mental display which will have to do
with the islands in "A way. There will
be, 1t is expected, a gathering of the
native populations of the various is
land possessions of the Nation. The
people of Hawaii will stand almost
alone in that for they are of race
which classes away above the people
of Porto Rico and the Philippines"
