DR.. VILE IS
BACK AGAIN
Connecticut Man Who
Advertises the
Islands.

DR.. w. c. Vile of Danbury, Conn,
who has frequently visited Honolulu,
arrived again yesterday on the Oceanic
steamship Ventura and registered at the
Hawaiian Hotel. The doctor will re-
main here about two weeks, returning
on the Alameda, and on December IS
he will sail for Europe on the steamship
Kaiserin II accompanied by Mrs. Vile
and Miss Vile.
DIR. Vile is a walking Promotion
Committee for Hawaii He is one Of
the best mainland friends the ISLANDS
have. 1t may be presumed that DR..
Vile has accomplished tremendous
amount of gooo advertising for the
islands all through New England and the
Atlantic States. Wherever he has gone
in the past two years he has never
failed to deliver a lecture on Hawaii,
with stereoptican views.
The DISTINGUISHED physician is one of
Connecticut's wealthy citizens and his
home just outside of Danbury is said to
be one of the finest in the state. The
house is in the center OF an eight-acre
lot An additional three acres has been
secured and this has been laid out as
an Hawaiian park or Garden. There is
big spring in the center and over this
he constructed a house which he has
called WAIKIKI" because it is near the
water. Then two small lakes were made
and across them he built bridge, an
exact reproduction of that at Haieiwa
which he has called StWaialua" Then
on the way up hill are stopping places,
for the doctor claims he is getting old
and needs rest on such ascents and one
of these DR.. and Mrs. Vile have termed
Oahu" because of the pleased memories
they have of the island. AT the top
of the hill is house which he has call
ed sPunchbowl" because from it is a
commanding view of the Hawaiian park.
This is only one of the instances
where DR.. Vile has shown his great
aloha for the Hawaiian islands and
Honolulu in particular
Since left here" said Dr. Vile yes

The leprosy question came up when
reached San Francisco and / had a |
ak with the reporters of three or four
IF the papers there. They asked my
opinion as TO the increase or decrease of /
eprosy at the Settlement and in the
Stands. That interview preceded me to
New York and was printed in the lead
ng papers there. The Herald, Tribune,
and Evening Telegram sent reporters
Up to interview me on the question and |
told them what | knew of the Settle /
nenf and SAID That the disease was on |
the decrease. In my own journal / |
have put large amount of material
the islands in general, as
one of the most DELIGHTFUL places have
ever visited.
TAROENA FACTORY MOVE.
DR. Vile stared yesterday that his
present visit was not altogether one of
pleasure, as he had also matter of
business to attend to. DR.. Vile is
