TRENT ON TRAVEL.
r. II. Trent, who has been at the
Volcano House for the past week, goes
home to Honolulu by the Kinau to-
day Mr.. Trent was greatly pleased
with the improvements that have been
made at the Volcano House by Man
ager Bidgood. He says the hosiery
has been completely changed in ap-
pearance and guests can have but few
wants that will not be satisfied.
Mr.. Trent, who handles the tourist
business for this Island at Honolulu,
says the movement to secure greater
tourist travel is suffering on account
of lack Of unanimity. He believes
the Honolulu people will eventually
get on the right track and that results
will be forthcoming. He finds among
the travelling public some hesitation at
the Island excursion, but
in no case has he heard of a single
from any who have gone 10
the Volcano. Mr.. Trent advocates an
All-Island show for tourists. He does
not believe that Honolulu alone or Hi
10 alone can satisfy the visitor. 1t Is
the altogether proposition that will
win In building up heavy tourist
travel
Mr.. Trent Is anxious for the day to
come when Hlo can open to the pub
lie a big, commodious, modern hotel.
He thinks nothing would do more good
for the town and tourist travel.-Her-
