The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-10-10

farmer movement as well as rebuke
TO tourists who would visit the other
Islands.
An active part was taken in the agi-
cation for a good macadamized road
around the island OF Oahu, and It
seems likely now that this will De
brought about.
Cooperation was lent the Oahu
Walking Club which is doing much to
popularize walking tours on this ISL
and, and to open up new trails. Many
visitors to Hawaii enjoy their meets.
Work has been begun agltating the
erection OF accommodation huts on
the New Zealand plan, with a promise
That on the island of Oahu four or five
will be built by private enterprise.
The project of an automobile bus
line to Kahana was only defeated by
the bad condition of the road. A round
the island bus and rail trip within
day at a cost of less than five dollars
has been demonstrated a possibility
that should be taken advantage of.
Americans do not know Hawaii, else
they would flock to the Paradise of
the Pacific. 1t would pay the territory
to make the experiment of employing
a man or men to Diaze paths to unfre-
uented wonder places and arouse en-
thusiasm, all along the route. If
tourist wishes to organize a inter-isl-
Loo, nh frnpr FrtN
throw cold water on the project, be-
cause you are sometimes seasick-help
| it along, the time will yet come when
the outdoor chief will be receiving
yachtsmen here from the east and
placing them ABOARD their yacht cnaI-
tered in advance. What safer ocean
cruise for a small boat in all the world
than around Oahu!
Let Hawaii get her outdoor tourist
man, if he can not be found at home,
send abroad for him. Perhaps Thorn
as Cook & Sons will lend a trained
man. The sugar planters sent for
Trenor and kept him cruising and
studying the islands for months Ev-
erything was new to him and he saw
beauties and attractions that the long
time resident overlooks. Support the
splendid advertising work of the Pro-
motion Committee by adding to its
enthuse over and love Hawaii one firm
ly convinced of the truth, that it is the
little wonderland and beauty spot of
the world, a demi-paradise come 10
earth the playground of the lazy, the
training ground of the athlete, a sum-
ner and winter resort for the free and
healthy, not perhaps a cure all for the
invalid, but rest place for the run
down and an ideal cruising place for
a summers vacation
The chief of the outdoor tourist
work, to make it a success, must
be gifted with remorseless energy and
an enthusiasm that will not down be-
fore those who have tried all that
sort of thing before" RE must learn
that after the first squirt of enthus-
iasm, local interest flags, but if the
project is persisted in it IN time comes
to steadily support it. The chief must
be man of good second wind, gifted
with stickatitiveness, a lover of out
door life and able to enthuse those
with whom he talks of Hawaii. That
is the secret OF the success Of the Aus
tralasian Bureaus, the outdoor men
everlastingly believe in their country
and the Australasians have caught
the contageon, until today they them
selves support the Tourist Bureaus
that were organized primarily for the
benefit of the tourist.
Hawaii is truly the wonderland OF
the world, where every day in the
year, about Honolulu alone, new walks |
and scenes are his for the trouble of
searching them out. Hawaii can not |
be seen in a month or a year, her
beauties can not be exhausted in a |
lifetime. 1t will be the pleasure OF |
many literary visitors of the last two |
years to frequently bark back in their |
writings to Americas dreamland in |
the Pacific. Hawaii has everything to |
offer the tourist, that the message |
that should be delivered to everyone |
who enters the joint Australasia-Ha-
waiian Tourist Bureaus the world ov-
err. Hawaii's duty at home is to back |
this by preparing to aid the stopover |
or longtime visitor to enjoy the ISL
ands as he should. By joint effort Ha-
wall should make her merits known,
and draw to herserr the best in kind
and mankind that the outside world
has to offer
