OPINIONS

! In an interview about his impressions
of Hawaii, julius II. Black, a real es-
| tate operator of Los Angeles, said yes
tcrday at the Young hotel:
"1nis is my first trip to Honolulu,
and | am amazed at the beauty of the
place, which far exceeds the best de-
| scription ever written of it. The nat
| ural environments of the town are
| among the most charming to be found
in any part of the globe. They are of
so rare n combination of land and sea,
that the mind gropes hclplessly for
phrases wherewitp to adequately quail
| ify the beautiful setting which clasps
this rare pearl of the far Pacific. 1t
may be predicted, without a shadow
of exaggeraton, that the historical
! splendor of the seven hills of Rome
will some day pale beneath the mag
nifcence of the numerous hills of Homo
| lulu.
"There is practical, and withal
| rcmunerative side to the situation. Thu
attractions of the locality make it
| substantial nucleus for one of the
greatest tourist resorts in the world
| Its great distance from the mainland
| is not among the least of its charms,
| although it is one which will be much
better appreciated when more suitable
and frequent transportation facilities
| can be had with the mainland. Tourist
travel to Honolulu ought to be an all
| the-year.round affair, something which
| can be said of very few places patron
lied by tourist travel. Tourist travel
of course brings with it a certain per
| cent of travellers who finally make up
their minds to stay with the country,
| thereby adding to the wealth and pop
ulation of the community, and in the
case of these islands, adding greater
lcaven of the Caucasian race to its pop
| ulation.
"Thc advantages to he derived from
| n continuous stream of tourist travei
are, as n matter of fact, too numerous
and wellknown to dwell upon at any
great length. No people, as a class,
are accustomed to spend money with
greater freedom and libcrality than
the tourist. lie circulates the coin of
| the realm, quickens the commercial
pulse, and stimulates civic PRIDE and
| it il very dead community that fails
to reap any direct benefit from his
| presence.
SEEK TOURISTS AT LOS ANGELES.
"The greatest Mecca for tourists on
! the mainland of America today, is the
city of Los Angeles. There is link
which binds Honolulu closer to Los
| Angeles. in way, than to San Fran
| cisco. 1t is the link of tourist travel.
| Should an Independent line of boats
ever be established exclusively for the
! Honolulu service, it would be far bet
| ter for this city if such n line were ro
| run direct TO port auJaceht 10 Los
Angeles, as for instance, san fedro,
| therepy establishing lts terminus at
