Tourist Committee
Outlines a
Plan.

The opening of the headquarters Of
the Hawaii Promotion committee
marks the inauguration of plan of
work, which, while successful else
where, will spell success here alone as

Pile. That the members of the commit

enough, there must be popular support.
other than Is contained merely In
money contributions.
The intention in the securing and
opening of the headquarters was two
fold. Not only shall there be gath
ering place for any visitors in the city
who may be here for few hours alone,
and hence not have time for long trips.
but as well a place where there shall
be displayed such of the products. such
views Of the best scenes, as will cause
the interest of the visitor to be arous-
ed, and If not productive of results at
once will leave impressions which can
not be shaken off. There are many
things which appear of slight value to
the individual yet form part of the
best in Hawaiian life.
The establishment Of a place where
there will be perpetual safekeeping
for woods and fruits. for every sort of
thing that may be said to have any
touch of Hawaii to It, should be well
come to the people Of the city. This
will mean perhaps in time the making
of collection which, while not in the
slightest taking on the advantages of
great museum, may be taken as an in
yitation to see further of Hawaiian Gu
rios and products.
For the purposes of decoration it Is
the hope of the committee that the
people of the city who can spare plants,
ferns, palms or any potted foliage OF

the committee will send for any such
contributions as may be made, and any
member of the committee will accept
offerings for the purpose. The win

Improvement by the groupings OF
plants, and the committee is anxious to
have this phase of the work put be-
fore all the people as soon as possible
ca that their cooperation may be Sc

teur photographers of the city and Ter
ritory at large There are many scenic

and attractive in their unusual charac-

into contact with such things. There
are probably several thousand good
views of Hawaiian bits in the hands or
Honolulu enthusiasts which have never
been seen other than by their friends.
IT is the hope of the committee that
any one having special views, no mat

be secured.
IT is a fact that there is little known
of the untrodden ways of the ISLANDS.
and IL the people who have made SIDE
trims will thus make known their wan
derinps by lending their prints TO the
committee for display. it will be great
benefit to every one who delights in the
finding of a beautiful view, and per-
petuating it, There will be on the part
of the committee no publicity given TO
names of contributors If desired that
the names be kept unknown, but the
nrints will be mounted and kept on
view in the headquarters.
Especially does the committee desire
nrints from outside Honolulu and from
other islands. Kauai is least known
of all and views from that island VIII
be thankfully received and acknowi-
edged.
