absolutely unsurpassed in the world. In
the matter of appointments, service, and
exclusive features which make hotel
life pleasant, it is without peer. The
Fairmont Hotel today has capacity for
taking care of one thousand guests.
It's entertainment features are so nu-
merous and so varied that, as has hap
pened many times, as many as six diff
ferent gatherings, including banquets,
balls and public meetings, can be held
under its roof at the same time, and
under such favorable conditions that
one assembly scarcely realizes there is
any other in the house.
The view from the Fairmont is such
as to make the most blase and expe-
rienced globetrotter stand in wonder
and amazement. From it's windows (for
every room in this magnificent hostelry
is an outside room) can be seen the
superb panorama of the Golden Gate,
the Bay of San Francisco, crowded with
ships from all parts of the world, the
mountains and hills of Contra Costa
County on the other side of the bay,
with Mt. Diablo 80 miles to the south
east, and Mt. st. Helena over a hundred
miles to the northeast breaking the
skyline. In the immediate foreground
of the hotel lies the busy city, in which
new steel sky-scrapers are rising in
place of the old style business houses
which were destroyed.
Chinatown, almost entirely rebuilt in
a new and better way, is but a few
minutes walk from the door of the
hotel. By means of the various street
ear lines which pass its doors all parts
of the city, the ferries and railroad
stations, the banks and exchanges, re-
tail business and theater centers, as
well as the residence portions of the
city can be easily reached.
The Fairmont Hotel differs from al
most any similar institution in the num-
Der of unique features which it offers
for the entertainment of it's guests.
Because of these, it is easily the social
center of San Francisco; you might
say, of the State. just as the old Palace
Hotel, which is now being rebuilt on a
new and greater scale at the old site
on Market street, was one of the most
famous hosteleries of the world, and
guests of all nations, SO the
Fairmont, under the same management /
which so adequately took care of the |
affairs of the Palace, is most cosmo- !

Two years ago, when the fire was rag
ing at its worst, the sight of the classic
outlines of the Fairmont Hotel, stand
ing out white against the black clouds
of smoke, lent hope to the anxious thou
sands. When the flames swirled fiereely
about it, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was just about to open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the fnishings and furnishings of it's in
terror. How well the building was con-
structed is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial of both
fire and its Accomplishments without a
single injury other than the complete
destruction of everything 1nfammable
to be found inside of it's walls.
After the reaction of the first month
had passed, work was Immediately
commenced TO rebuild and refurnish the
entire building, at cost of over two
million dollars, the work of reconstruc-
ton went on. Over a million dollars
was spent in interior fnishings and fur
niture, and the magnificent appoint
ments of the house as it stands today
speak well for the care and taste used
in the selection. The formal opening
Of the hotel to the public took place on
the 18th of April, 1907, just one year
after the catastrophe, at which time the
Chamber of Commerce gave banquet
in celebration of the event. On the
21st of April, 1907, the doors were
thrown open to the public with a splen-
lid reception, to which nearly all San
Francisco came.
The hotel was not fully complete at
hat time. Some of the rooms on the
upper floors were not ready, but when
he Palace Hotel Company, which for
nerly operated the old Palace Hotel on
Market street, took hold, determined to
push things through, the work went on

Premier, the tourist bureaus of other
Australian colonies and I. E. Dome,
manager of the New Zealand Tourist
Bureau, take up with the members of
the Territorial Committee the matter
of perfecting plans for the joint work
of establishing tourist bureaus in the
larger American cities, from whence
literature and information regarding
Hawaii and Australasia may be dis
seminated. It is possible that Japan
NAV be included in the joint arrange
ments; that is to be decided during
Mr.. Hunters visit. The plan then
%buld be to advocate at the booking
offices of the joint tourist bureaus in
New York, Chicago and San Francisco,
cruise tickets to Australia via Homo
lulu with stopover), from Australia to
Japan, and return to America via Ho-
nolulu, or vice versa.
The plans outlined in October will
be at once submitted to the Colonial
tourist departments for approval, and
as the majority of these have already
signified to Governor Frear, through
the several premiers, their desire to co.
operate, il seems to the gentlemen of
the Transportation Committee that the
dav is not far distant when Hawaii
will have her corner in the magnificent
Pacific Ocean tourist bureau establish
ments in the large cities on the main
land. The splendid, almost palatial,
tourist bureau headquarters in the
larger cities of Australia are always
a source of wonder and comment to the
American visitor, and doubtless Mr..
Hunter can and will tell our business
men many things that Australia has
learned that it would be to our advan-
tage TO initiate.
New South Wales maintains in Lon
don extensive immigration and tourist
bureau headquarters. Mr.. Hunter has
for some months been representing his
country in England and at the Franco
Anglican Exposition as agent general.
The idea of Joint tourist bureau effort
in America is by no means new to Mr..
Hunter. He made many important
member of the Territorial Transports
tion Committee, and is an enthusiastic
supporter of the scheme.

mittee from London on August IS, Mr.. |

Consul Ernest L. Harris, of Smyrna,
says concerning the consumption of
coffee in Asia Minor:
Coffee is the national drink of
Turkey. That used in the city of
Smyrna comes principally from Brazil.
The best qualify of imported coffee is
the Arabian, but it is so expensive that
only the richer classes can afford 10 buy
it. Brazilian coffee is the staple product
in this part of the world, and reaches
this port chiefly through commission

90,000,000 pounds. Brazilian coffee IS
sold by retailers at 10 to 20 cents per
pound, while the Arabian pro luct cften

HAWAII COLLEGE
WANTS ROOM
Needs Temporary Building For
2attern-Making and
Forging.

A meeting Of the Board of Regents
of the College of Hawaii was held in
the Office of H. E. Cooper, the president
of the board, yesterday afternoon The
/ college now finds itself in need of a
suitable building in which to carry on
the work of pattern making and forg-
ing for engineering students. 1t was
the sense of the board that it would
not be feasible to construct a building
for that purpose which would be only
temporary awaiting the removal of the
college to the permanent site in Ma
noa valley. 1t was deemed advisable,
if possible, to see if a suitable build.
ing could not be rented for this pur-
pose.
Now that the classes of the college
have been in progress for some three
weeks it was decided to close them to
the entrance of additional students In
taking this action it was not desired
to prevent students from getting in
S0AA0VAoH III thS SuUJc0tS VHdt enty uS-,
sire, but for the benefit of the students
already enrolled, and for the teachers
in charge it seems necessary to close
the classes.
Judge Cooper, the president of the
Board of Regents, will soon be absent
on the mainland for a considerable
period and Mr.. Walter G. Smith was
elected vice president and will act in
Judge Cooper's place.

A NEW RESCUE
HOME WANTED
The SaIVatiODiSts Lay Plans
for a Permanent
BenefiCe.

Twelve to fifteen thousand dollars is
a necessary fund for the use of the
Salvation Army workers here TO carry
out plans for Rescue Home, in which
will be included a Children IS Home and
a Home Finding Station, the site for
which has been decided upon to be in
one of the popular and pleasant valleys
near the city.
For eight years the Rescue Home has
been carried on by the Salvationists
with remarkable success, though ninety
per cent. of its good offices are prob
ably known to but few people in the
city, so quietly and unostentatiously
has the work been conducted. Scores
of young women and children of all
nationalities have been cared for in
that home, guarded against evil intu-
ences and reared as carefully as the
small staff and limited resources would
permit, and eventually many of the
young women have left the home and
married, and children have had homes
found for them.
To carry on this work properly, where
a commodious building or buildings can
be had, with modern conveniences and
ample grounds for play and work, the
Salvationists feel that a permanent
home should be built. Honolulu has
really nothing in the way of home
for half-orphaned and neglected chill
dren of all nationaIties or for young
women where they may be reared be-
yond temptation, except the makeshift
which the Salvation Army has provid-
ed and carried on in the face of diff,
culties which would. have put an end
to similar institution under different
auspices.
The Salvationists have decided upon
the grounds they want, have canvassed
some of their friends and have been
assured that, when the money is want,
ed, they win be ready to help the fund.
One lady has signiied her intention to
give goodly sum of money, and wish
ed to turn the cash over Immediately,
but the Salvationists will not collect
this and other promised gifts until
enough has been subscribed.
The present home has housed as many
as forty persons at one time and many
have had to be turned away, much
against the wish, however, of the Sal
vationists. The home is in charge of
Staff Captain Libbie MeAbee, matron;
Adjntant Clara Long and Ensign Jen-
ME Stevenson.

A Letter from the Matron.

Editor Advertiser: Our home and
its needs have already been brought
before the people through your col
umns
The need of a home of this kind, ]
think, is clearly understood, as we have
been called upon to care for so many
children of all nationalities, having as
many as ten nationalities at one time
children who are half or wholly or
phaned-
This home has now been established
eight years, and has occupied three
different rented properties in that
time, it being hard to find a place large
enough and suited to our growing
needs
Many worthy cases have sought a
shelter here, found temporary home,
and some, marrying, going to their own
homes; others returning to their PEG
pie, and still others finding a perma-
nent home and adoption papers secured
for them Some, also, have been
placed in school Vacancies made in
this way have been quickly filed by
others coming in. A number have been
turned away for lack of room, although
four months ago we added a six-room
cottage to the home already occupied.
We have been feeling for some time
that we must make change and have
looked in vain for any place larger
for rent, and so have decided to buy
property of our own and put up a
building suitable for our purpose, which
we can make much more sanitary, as
well as convenient and comfortable for
the children.
We want a place where there will
be plenty of room for play, so the
children can have fresh air and exer-
else
The friends have responded in the
past to all such appeals, and we be-
lieve they are waiting to respond to
this, in behalf of the dear little ones
who do and will need our home. A
generous response viii lift heavy bur
den from the shoulders of those who
are willing to do the work if the f.
nance is furnished by those who are
able to do that part.
Thanking you for any service YOU
can render rs in this matter, [ am,
yours respectfully,
