Whatever may be said of Hawaii
and its people. if there be those who

soon make it possible to visit with
ease the places that were difficult to
reach a short time ago.

Robert X. Bonine will do much to
turn the tide of tourists to our shores
and make necessary the building of |
many more hotels than we now have.
There is not a more picturesque place
under the sun than the Hawaiian Is
