To Attract
Tourists To Hawaii Nei

Dr. VIM. c. VILE. of Danbury. Conn
leaves In the Alameda for San Fran
cisco Wednesday On account OF the
great interest he has shown In the
Islands and his eagerness to help in
every way possible to bring tourists 10
these shores, Bulletin reporter called
on him at the hotel this morning and
asked that he say something on the
Impressions he has gained during his
stay in the city. DR.. VILE spoke as
follows:
Impression Confirmed.
when | first arrived in your beau
tiful little city, | made the statement
that had spent a month in California
and that my stay there had not been
very agreeable-that the climate OF
California had been overtold and that
Of Hawaii undertold. That observation
mas only been confirmed during my stay
in Honolulu which, were to remain
until Saturday next, would make just
one month.
"All you people here need is TO get
people coming from the Mainland and
then you will have no trouble keeping
them provided, of course, every one
gets in and does his share. Tourists
should be looked after by the mer
chants and there should be no exorb-
'tant charges tourists have money
and they will spend it freely but they

Things
Tourists Spend Money.
THE other day | was down town
with couple of men from the Main
land. They went into one OF the stores
on King street and spent $3.50 In very
much less than 259 minutes. Mind YOU
| saw the money handed in. | know
another tourist who has spent over a
thousand dollars during stay in your
city of something less than month.
! "Of course, you cannot expect every
one who comes here as tourist to do
that. Now here Is proposition. Sup
posing a thousand tourists come to the
Islands and each one spend $50, besides
board and necessities. II Is not neces-
sary for me to point out the immense
amount of money that will come into
the country. In month. each one OF
those tourists will spend from two to
three hundred dollars for maintenance
/ This is saying nothing about all the
lItle things such as cigars, whiskey'
laundry and the like.
Stock Quotations Wanted.
I'm thinking>over some of the things
that will bring tourists to your shores,
{ find It is absolutely necessary that
you have the stock quotations here.
Thirty or more of the principal stocks
on the market should be received here
daily and published through the coop
Grafton of the Merchants Association
the Chamber of Commerce. the Stock
exchange, the newspapers and the
cable Company This is absolutely
necessary. Most of the men who come
down here are Interested more or less
In the various STOCKS ana when theS
lind that there is no arrangement for
the receipt OF quotations, they begin TO
reel little nervous. TheA would sleep
very much better II they could see the
quotations In the papers every day. "
Is necessary that these quotations De
received here or the tourists VIII drop
