saro one who revisits Honolulu, while
the improvements are many and impor-
saut. the fact that there IS still much
to be done is apparent" Thus Mr.. F.
w. Dohrrnann spoke last evening at the
Moana, when asked if he would say
anything further concerning Honolulu
and how to secure for it the advan-
tazes TO which it's position and climate
would entitle It. ''The people here have
probably become so used to walking
about jogs in the streets that they do
not notice them but they are apparent
as objections to one who comes the first
time OF after an absence The improve

without doubt will be greater.
"one thing that would like to i'm
press upon the merchants is to not be
discouraged. Twenty-eight years ago

first I had made from San Francisco,
and when asked as to the most an

the old country and san Francisco. 1

European cities. then began cru

nearly twenty years in getting at wha'
I deemed of first Importance. Fifteen
years ago I began agitation for public
comfort stations. and only now IS the
first being established downtown we
worked for street paving for years. All
of this I mean only as showing how
great is the necessity for keeping at it.
HOW TO ADVERTISE.
"As to the advertising of the CITY
there is of course the first necessity
for general work. should say tnat
advertising should be on a scale which
xvouId attract the attention of the peo-
,,a .na mako known to them the ad-
x-antages of the islands For their
health or pleasure the travelling puohc

essaries Of life. have always proceed

know all about it and have made up
their minds to visit the State. The only
o,uestion is when. And 1 have found

up their minds and only need to be
pressed to name a specific time
SPECIAL EXCURSIONS.
$50 I believe that after the islands
have been advertised and made known
to the people Of the mainland. there
should be pressed my suggestions u
the Merchants Association, that speeial /
excursions be urged. Special rates al !
ways appeal to peopl. They need not
be materially lower than the regular
ones. but they should be known as spe-
cial and advertised so that travellers
will see them and know just what they |

They should be told the railroad and +,
steamer fares, the hotel accOmmoda- /

secure a trade excursion, then there

mans for the entertainments or the
visitors while they are in the Islands.
It will be a great point if the people
who plan to come know that they 4
will be met and taken about and every
thing that they would want TO see
shown 10 them
