to make bid, with big splurge. for
tourists. We think its failings are
mighty poor inducements to offer to
others to pay it visit, and is a poor
advertisement. Recent visitors there
had to make the best of it by finding
lodgment at one place and boarding
out at another, with frog legs thrown
in, as an advertised special delicacy.
But the deficiencies which Hilo lacks
in public accommodation is made up,
as much as possible, by the efforts of
her business men and residents to act
as hosts in supplying needful accom-
modations, at so much per head; yet
it is only the initiated that can find

NOT WELL FIXED.

If Hilo is eager in it's bid for tour
lists, it should first have hotel to
house them. 1t had very decent one
at one time, but it died from lack OF
support and maintenance, although the
proprietors used means and money to
cater to the local people. The gall and
the impudence of the Rainy Town to
now demand recognition, when it is
lacking in one of the main essentials,
that of providing comfort and susie
nance to the visitors, seems to us most
preposterous. Furthermore, it is SUI
perciliously silly to demand recogni-
tion in class when it has nothing t.
offer therein as an inducement to Wis
iting travellers to halt while with
them, or even to land on their shores.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-02-11

When Hilo had hotel, it failed to
support it. To maintain 1t was the
bounden duty of the residents, and it
was their own fault when it failed on
account of the lack of appreciation
and support. 1t must be here stated
that the Hilo Hotel failed of continua-
tion through inanition, lack of busi-
ness, shortsightedness of the business
people and and lack of local patronage.
For decent hotel to be a success
there, it cannot entirely depend on
tourists, but must expect a continuous
and certain amount of local patronage;
charges must not be too high and nev-
er exorbitant.
